AN ADDRESS
TO HUSBANDS
With a Little Advice on the
Side on How to Make
Wives Happy.

Ella wheeler Wilcox In Conkey's Homo Journal
Not long ago tired little woman
committed suicide because her husband

employed in labor which seemed to him
suitable for the morning hours, and he
spoke angrily about her tardy habits.
She flung herself from the window and

sacrifice her liie-just mans irritable
criticism. But we must take into con-
sidera'ion all that preceded this occa

There had been seolding after scold-
ing, without doubt. She had been iound
fault with for SO many derelictions, for
so many deeds done aud undone, that
this aaal critioism was merely the last
straw on the camel's back.
A cross, tault-dnding wife is a terrible
thing, but man can take his hat aud

We cannot quite bring ourselves 10 see
the wisdom Of nominating college pre-.
sident in New York TO DO up Tammany
with. A college president is nire times
out Of ten more completely out OF touch
with the masses OF the people than any
other professional man who could be
picked mp. The President Of Columbia
has not been known as a man who ever
did anything for the people, 70. the i'm.
provementoi government, or for the bet
termeut OF industrial conditions. He
only touches society at the highest point
where the wealthy send their most fa'
vored sons to become college graduates.
His actual point OF contact with the
masses 10 not one-tenth that OF a milk
peddler OF the driver Of a grocer's de-
livery wagon. And no one thinks OF put.
ting mp such a man as a candidate TO do
up Tammany. IL is our candid judg-
ment that with all his nine nominations
Seth Low won't "do q ting" to Croker
and his organization. The head Of a
political organization to win must have
a powerful political party back OF him
that is An actual majority Of the voters,
or he must have a personal popularity
that begins away down on the ground
floor and extends all the way through
the various kinds and classes Of people
that compose this funny old world OF
ours.
THE JOURNAL has not had the heart "a

believes that when you have called in the
best physician, who in your opinion II
the proper person 20 take charge OF your

The physician who loses a case feels az
badly many times as anyone can who ia
even closer related. Probably no one
in the nation felt more deeply
the death OF Mckinley than those
who staked professional repute-
tlon ON his recovery. So let us be slow
to blame the medical profession. II is
making rapid progress and In time will
come 20 the fullness Of lis stature and

the Republicans only did what clrcum-

CHILD's HAND ON TREE.
Strange Freak of Nature Found In an
 old virginfa Graveyard and Carefully Preserved.

One of the most curious freaks of nature discovered IS years ago in an old graveyard near Ashland, Va, is now preserveda a much-tf Treasured reli- ic. A man named Robertson, who was walking through the burying ground, noticed that, raised in the bark of an ancient apple tree, was the exquisitely modelled hand of a child. Roberson cut the growth off the apple tree and took the bark from it. It was seen at glance that by taking penknife and making the ends of the fingers to in dicate nails, and also by cutting little notches on the fingers at point where the knnckles would be, the growth would be an exact reproduction of a child's hand. Mir. Robertson did this, and the little piece of wood was re- garded as a curio by all who saw it. He sold it to MT. J. P. Luck, of Ashland, who has had it in his possession ever since.
 With the exception Of the carving at the ends of the fingers and the little notches at the knuck1es, the accom- panying cut shows the growth exact- ly as it was taken from the tree. The lines in the back of the hand are all natural. The shape of the fingers is just as they were when the bark was taken from the growth; the general shape and appearance of the hand have been unchanged, and on the in side are all the lines natural to hu- man hand.
 The little notch shown in the cut to the side of the hand was point where the thumb extended, but in taking the bark off the growth, this was acci-

 Rumor has it that little child was once buried here, and that not long after the increment an apple tree sprang up. This grew rapidly and near the root of it appeared the hand, which developed by degrees until it be- came the size of chi1d's hand and in it's present shape.
 Superstitious people think there is some connection between the growth of this hand on the apple tree and the life of the child buried alongside of it. The fingers were all shaped exactly like those of child and have propor- tionate length and size. The palm of the hand is the same and the wrist al- most a reproduction in appearance of that of child.
