When Camden was Philadelphia's Gret

No marriage licenses were required here
then and every clipping couple, not only
from Philadelphia but from many other
cities went there to have the knot tied tied
cialty of catering to this trade" and an
army of hackmen was always in waiting
at the ferry to receive the couples;
In many cases the hackmen had an

driving strangers to them, and. of course
they always came in for liberal fare

Methods of Other Wives.

When Alice F'idelia Tower and John
Henry Waggoner, of Buffalo, We're
married on May Is last, it was by a
civil contract that was. drawn up to
govern their future relations.
1t provided that the husband must
practically divide his income with his
wife; that title to her clothing and all
the furnishing and decorations in their
home should vest in her; that she have
edual choice in the choosing of their
domicile, and it concluded with this
pare graph:
"That said second party also agrees
that if he should SO far forget himself
as to commit an assault and battery
on the first party, rendering her inca
pable of performing her household
work. or carrying 5on her separate pro-
fessiona1 business, he will pay to the
said first party sum equal IF in his
power) to the loss. sustained thereby.
tIt is further agreed by the. party
of the second part that whatever real
property he may have at the present
time and whatever real property he
Jointly"
George s. Edgar, of PittsburN made
rules for his wife;s guidance. He was
rich, but his wife held that his man
ners and habits We're not commensu-
rate with his position. So she sued
him for divorce a couple of years ago,
asking that 100000 of his estate be
turned over to her for the support
and education Of the children.
In her suit Mrs. Edgar brought out
the fact that her husband prepared
thirteen rules, which he posted In her
house, and which he said she must
obey. These are the rules:
am to be boss of the house.
- Z, Nf y,
house and must be respected.
am to handle all the money.
No servant shall be employed with
out consulting me.s
No servant shall be dismissed with
out consulting me.
my wife shall mot speak Ito the
servants unless tits extremely neees-
sary.
My wife shall not IS help with
out my cons unless It IS under ex-
IRENE provecation; then she can dis
miss them during my absence, with
out my consent.
All purchases, such as vegetables,
groceries, clothing for the wife and
children, are to. be bought with my
personal consent or written order.
My children shall be taught to re-
speet= me.

casions, of any village cure, why old
Bretagne has this year suffered from
crop destroying weather generally, the
reply will certainly be that given to
myself: Those whose votes have put
| agnostics in high place can look for
no faVors- from God" -
:. People think variously on matters Of
religion, and all receive due respect
and consideration in our enlightened
! age, but while n,any in France who
are not affiliated with the Catholic
church disaprrove strongly on purely
economic grounds to the policy Of
| Premier Cembes, 1t IS natural that the
1oudest protests should come from the
Catholics. Personally, I have gone
over the ground and viewed the ques-
ton in an impartial spirit, being neith-
er prejudiced against nor inf1amed in
favor of either party to the contro
versy over the expulsion of the relig
ious orders, but T have found a per-
vading opinion among thinking
Frenchmen that the Combes minis
try's policy in this matter is, on the
general grounds I have intimated
above, an unwise one, as anything is
unwise which disturbs, on flimsy pre-
texts, the internal economy of a coun-
try.
There is In truth a popular impress
sion, and it seems justified to an ex-
tent by the ministry's own action, that
not only religious discrimination is
favored by the present party in power,
but also that 1t is intended to exclude
from the public service people who
don't hold the same political views as
the party in office. This is a very
inopportune moment to promulgate
such doctrine, and have it seized
upon for popular cry in connection
with that of religious persecution.
In any event, to the tolerant Anglo
Saxon eye, political policy which in
the twentieth century includes even
the suggestion of sectarian discrimina-
ton must bear the aspect of being re-
dictionary short-sighted and contrary
to the spirit of the age we live in. And
it seems that M. Conbes ministry, if
it is, as claimed, an agnostic one, can
bear malice against those who stick
TO Christian belief in the general sense,
quite as readily as did the Christian
bigots of old prosecute each other
upon merely sectarian grounds.

{ Matrimonial diplonaacy,1 said Miss
Minnie Wortendyke, of the Rainy Day
club, lis still in the primitive stages.
Mrs. Sutton's commandments are too
transparent. She allows her husband
to see that she wants a hold on the
purse strings. Her insistenee on pie is
all right. Man Is a pie eater by ma
ture and habit. The ordinary husband
would take. this as a consideration for
his comfort and 7accept it with good
humor. Her mistake is in the beef.
The beef would be forthcoming in any
case, and that allusion to the quarter
simply draws mans attention to how
much it costs to live. The church and
Sunday school injunction is another
error. A man is a much better Chris
tan if you leave him to his smoking
Jacket and his Sunday newspaper-and
never appear grieved to do.ft. He will
presently conclude you are much too
happy without him.
'If a man will not be clean and neat
and attractive without a command

cure would be lasting" said Mrs. Ed

Romance in Life Of Aged RecIuse iR
Woods of Massachu-
z.s--gse sets. +..I

WEBSTER, Mass, Oct. 1S.-Becom-
Ing recluse in the Douglas woods aft
err having been Tilted in love by a beau
tiful girl, Joseph Jennings has at last
become afraid of the winter cold he
has braved for many years, and has
consented to be removed to the East
Douglas almshouSe, where he will
spend his remaining days.
A solitary life in his Isolated retreat.
far from habitation, has in some de-
gree drowned his sorrow, for 1t is said
that many years ago he loved beau
tiful girl, but that she Tilted him when
the marriage service was about to be
performed.
Since then he has tried to forget the
world, and buried himself in the Wilds
of the wods, where he had no friends
except a huge tom cat, the birds ana
creatures of the woods.
Recently he became blind, and even
in this predicament he refused to go
with friends. Tottering with age, and
blind, he was reluctantly led away a
few days ago from his home of years
to the town farm of Henry d. Mowry,
an overseer of the poor of East Doug
las.
Although the hernit's age Is not
known, and probably never will be,
Mr.. Jenney is certainly in the eighties,
while some say he Is over ninety. Last
winter he suffered terribly, and several
times was near starvation.
Mr.. Jenney lived for years in his hut
before even his nearest neighbor was
aware of it, although they saw at times
a, strange old man wandering throu61
the woods. He existed on what he
could shoot or fish.
One day about five years ago par
ty Of Webster hunters accidentally
stumbled upon the hut, but the hermit
with gun in hand warned them to keep
moving" He wished to live and die
in his hermitage, far away from ev-
erybody.
So far as known, he has no relatives.
Years ago a cousin, it is said, came
% visit him at his abode. One night
m returning from hunting trip, the
Id man found his supposed relative
- floor He had slashed his
throat from ear to ear. and bod been
dead some time when discovered.
OF late the Douglas authorities have
been keeping an eye on the old man, as
they thought he would end his life.

tend is the more effective that it is
unsupported. A judicious mixture of
coddling is their prescription.
cleanliness, goodness and a decent
support are the sum and substance OF
Mrs. Sutton's commandments, SAID
Mrs. Clarence Burns, of the West End
Republican club. What woman could
ask less or what wife demand more?
, In my view she is reasonable to an al
most deplorable extent Take the mat
ter of baths, for instance. Mr. Sutton
PLAINLY had a, fixed prejudice against
soap and water. An aversion of that
sort will not disappear under a once
a-week application. Only a daily
scrubbing could achieve the desired
effect. In such a case l should say
marital discipline required shower
bath, with the nozzle in the hands
of the wife. That would be the only
effective argument.
Mother-in-Law Clause.
"The mother-in-law clause is one
which will commend itself to the wise
wife. The changes rung on the bread
that mother made, now so destructive
to- the peace of many households,
would. be still more unfortunate with
mother on the spot. Mrs. Sutton sees
the only cure in the removal of the
cause, and is ready to sacrifice her
own feelings in insisting on it's accom-
plishment.- She perhaps places little
undue stress on her housewifely art
in her various requirements, but there
again the mother motif may enter IN.
On the whole, she seems to me adj
InirabIy within her rights"
'"The woman who asks a man to rise
and especially to rise at a. M with
out her calling him." announced Mrs.
Hattie -Ostrom,. of the Woman's Health
Protective league, closes her kingdom
in that instant. The male animal hates
above all things to get up, and the
, first duty of every wife is to coax him
into submission by a sympathetic att
titude toward his pet weakness. Five
minutes per diem is required for this
! process. She will begin with Dear,

Henry, breakfast is waiting Gmean-
while having judiciously set back the
clock), and he will remember all
through the day how sweet she was
about it. Any other method means
dfseord and an alarm clock.
Mrs. Sutton is too drastic. She In
sists that her husband shall not use
vulgar or profane language at all. How
much better it would have been to put
it like this: No swearing save in office
hours It would mean quite the same
thing and sound so much less harsh.
The first rule for ruling a man is to
realize that he never looks behind your
words. and why disturb his belief in
himself while you are making him over
