MANAGING A HUSBAND.

There is positive exhilaration to be
derived from bringing all one g
efforts to bear upon husband whose
business worries have pursued him
from the office, writes Lillian Bell In
Harper's Bazaar. There is a genuine
delight to fight with the unknown
anxieties which his love will not per-
NIT him to unburden at home. II
brings out all the tact and patience
and diplomacy all the charms and
graces, of a woman's character 20
transform a cross, tired, WORKOUT hus-
band into new man-just by a good
dinner and little tact.
But to manage a husband when
there are SO many kinds of husbands
requires, more than any other one
thing, a thorough study of your SUP
ject. To meet your husband with a
smile" which is the old-fashioned
rule for all ills, is enough to make a
nervous, irritable man frantic. Look
him over before you even smile
You ought to know how to treat him.
Don't sing or hum If he has head
ache, or begin to tell him the news
before you have fed him. II there is
one rule to lay down-which there is
motor If / were giving automatic
advice-which | am mott should
say at most men come home like
hungry animals, and require first OF
all to be fed.

KING OSCARS HABITS.

King Oscar OF Sweden is popularity
supposed to combine his undisputed
virtues as monarch with some per-
sonal Weaknesses, says the New York
Sun. Only a few years ago Danish
journalist, Owe Rode, published an
article about the real Oscar H." in
which he pictured the old king as a
very merry monarch who nearly killed
his chamberlains by making them
drink cognac with him night after
night till and o'clock in the morn
ing, and who then sought the aid of
morphine in order to procure a few
hours' sleep for himself.
The story was never denied official.

king is fond Of late hours, although a

Matters of Nc mt From the
Far-off Northland
THE SkI-RUNNER.

Ere yet the mornings golden bars
Have put to fight the paling stars,
Rap-rap along the frozen way
Goes the skirunner, brisk and gay.
He leaves the hard-bound track below
And seeks the rolling fields of snow.
There where the valley opens down
Upon the quain-set wooden town
Up leaps the sun with glad surprise
And clothe with green frozen land,
He tracks the elk, and in his lair
Awakes to life the slumberiug bear.
Up leaps thes un with glad surprise
And under his o'ermastering eyes
The snowy bosom warns and glows
And melts into a food of rose.
Frost diamonds glitter in the rays,
And thro' falling golden haze
The runner passes to the bright,
Glad, herald burst of morning light.
What recks he that he bold intrudes
Upon the Frost Kings solitudes?
Scales the unbroken slopes, and rides
Triumphant down the mountain sides ?
Long burrows clean the good ski make
AS down their wild, mad course they
take;
To right, to left, grim boulders lift
Their cold, gray noses through the
drift.
The forest mazes in and out,
This way and that they twist about;
They whistle shrill. the trees divide,
And down the long, white lanes they
glide.
Below the twinkling lights appear,
The lights of home the wanderer steer,
And far athwart the northern sky
Are flung the wizard searchlights
high.
The red wood fire, the wholesome
fare,
The hard, clean life, the kindling air
Are his, and blithe the Norseman
sings
The glories of his wooden wings.

JUDGE cLANcY's DIVERSION.
Uncertain and Wandering Survey Of
the Montana Man Accounted For

There was bit of diversion in
Judge GJdncy's department of the

O'Donnell was arguing his objections
to certain declaratory statement
made by one of the parties to suit
which was being argued on a demur-

statement was vague, uncertain ana
indefinite and altogether faulty. and
should not be considered with any
degree of seriousness in a court of
common law.

chancellor as he proceeded to read
the statement. He runs his line 500

Judge Clancy gently lifted mis-

his twinkling eyes, said in reply:

The chancellor up to this point was

this unexpected reply came he

ratified the old window blinds and
made the court bailiff look like a

SPEAK PLAINLY,

One of the strange traits of little
children is their utter misunderstand-
ing Of many simple things, and the
endurance of this MISUNDERSTANDING
with them through years and years.
Thus. there is a lawyer of this city
who thought until the was 20 or 81
years old, that there was such a word
as "pard-narsens" in the language.
His father, religious man, had said
grace always at the table, and the
boy had heard incuriously, three times
q day. "pard-narsens" in the grace.
without comprehending in the least
that pardon our sins" were the
words his father actually had spoken.
This boy was always misapprehend-
ing religious things. The phrase

ever, a man who Tor many years has
been the intimate friend of his sover-
eign.
General Sven Lagerberg, the Oldest
officer in the Swe- ish army and man
known beyond the limits of his own
country for his frankness bordering
on rudeness, his biting wit and his
frugality, celebrated his eightieth
birthday not long ago and was on that
occasion interviewed by representa-
tives of the Swedish press.
General Sven. IS he Is called famil-
iarly all over IL" land, used the OPP
portunity to speak his mind about the
ISLANDERS uttered concerning his royal
friend. This is what he had to say
about the habits of the king.
King Oscar is very temperate as a
fact, although there are a lot of peo-
pie who talk nonsense about him. He
never tastes branvin Literally. burnt
wine; the Swedish equivalent for
whisky, and he is no friend of brandy
or other strong drinks. What he likes
is a small glass of sherry with his
breakfast and bottle of beer.
AT dinner he drinks champagne,
and claret mixed with plenty of water.
AS far as the food, itself is concerned
he, like all the other members of the
royal family, likes neither fish nor
fowl
Like his late brother and predeces-
sor, Charles XIV, the king is fond of
simple food, and he is delighted when.
