OLD HERMIT MUST GO
TOTHE AIMS HOUSE
Romance in Life of Aged Recuse in
Woods of Massachu-
...-., sets. --.-T

WEBSTER, Mass, Oct. 1S.-Becom-
Ing a recluse in the Douglas woods aft
er having been Tilted in love by 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 and
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 hermit'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 throuG1
the woods. He existed on what ne
could shoot or fish.
One day about five years ago a 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

OF late the Douglas authorities have
been keeping an eye on the old man, as
they thought he would end his life.

Tries Ironclad Rules on Her Hucband


self?"
Matrimonial dip1onlacy,' 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 irlsistence 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 9accept 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 much better Chris
tan if you leave him to his smoking
jacket and his Sunday newspaper-an
never appear grfeved to do 1T. 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
ment to make him so, I doubt if the
cure would be lasting" said Mrs. Ed
win Knowles, director of the Women's
exhibition, "but L am willing to ac-
knowledge that different men may need
different methods. Till man is hus-
band he is undoubtedly in the rough.
The woman is the homemaker and has

tons list of the proprieties in the case,
while somewhat crudely put, about fill
the bill. AS I am a pie-maker myself,
and have great faith in the efficacy Of
ii good pie to foster good temper in a
man, 1 fully indorse that particular
claim. Every wife wants a Well-fed
we'll bred husband, and if he is that
his dressing well is a natural conse-
quence.''

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: '"Fhose 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 nany in France who
are not affiliated with the Catholic
church disaprrove strongly on purely
economic grounds to the policy Of
Premier Combes, 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 infiamed in
favor of either party to the contro-
versy over the expulsion of the relig-
ious orders, but I 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 fiimsy pre-
texts, the internal economy of a coun-
try.
There Is in truth 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 a doctrine, and have it seized
upon for a popular cry in connection
with that of religious persecution.
In any event, to the tolerant Anglo
Saxon eye, a 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 Combe's 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.

Geist, who died. leaving something moro

When Camden was Philadelphia's Gret

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 fixed prejudice against
soap and water. An aversion of that
sort will not disappear under a once
a-week application. Only daily
scrubbing could achieve the desired
effect. IN such case I should say
marital discipline required a 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
own feelings in insisting on it's accom-
pIishment.- 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 ad-
mirably 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,
it is time to get up and go through
all the phases of TIM so sorry my poor
boy has to- open his sleepy eyes to
Henry, breakfast is waiting (mean-
while having judiciously set back the
cIock}, and he will remember all
through the day how sweet she was
about it. Any other method means
discord 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
into the helpful, orderly, conslderate
