Before | was married, which was Just
six weeks ago, [ used to look at the comic
papers and read the Jokes about the
young wife ordering a leg of liver and 4
few pecks of caulitiower, and rejoiced to
think that such a thing would never hap
pen to me.
No, indeed l thought as I concocted
desserts in the home kitchen, thus un-
loading my first mistakes on my own
family. Il am too wise q young woman

Never to quarrel, always be pleasant,
keep the house neat, and have good meals
for him. And to be economical.
We'll, so far / have been able to keep
most of these promises. But it seems
strange to me that our first trouble was
over such little thing, and that was
that it seemed impossible for us to get
up on time in the morning.
1t happened just this way: You see.
we We're invited around a good deal and
we also had friends come to spend the
evening. And even when there was no
one there. we would sit up late, reading
aloud or talking together.
Of course. then when morning came
we were awfully sleepy, and we wouldn't
pay any attention to the alarm clock
Pretty soon we would not hear it at all
and as Toms train leaves at TAO [ could
hardly get any breakfast for him.
Several times | would bring him up a
piece Of bread, and he would eat it while
hustling into his clothes Or else he
would gobble down some husky cereal
and chew it going down the street.
OF course, it was comical and we
both laughed Nevertheless, l felt
ashamed in fact. the funny part of ii
soon wore off. Tom would depart in
q rather bad humor.
One morning we awakened at exactly
7:3O. 1t was cold and pouring rain.

forgot to kiss me.

The New Woman.

The New Woman
The following satire on the modern wom-
was written by Mrs. ]. B. Smith and
read at meeting of the Marshall, Minn
Women's club:
o Lord, I come to Thee in prayer once
But pardon if 1 do not kneel before
Thy gracious presence, for my knees are
sore
With so much walking. In my chair in
stead
I'll sit at ease and humbly bow my head.
I've labored in Thy vineyard, Thou dost
know;
I've sold ten tickets to the minstrel show:
I've called on fifteen strangers in our town,
Their contributions to our church put
down;
I've baked pot of beans for Wednesday S
An old-time supper it is going to be;
I've dressed three dolls, too, for our an
nual fair,
And made cake which we must rattle
Now, with Thy boundless wisdom so sub
lime.
Thou knowest that these duties all take
time;
/ have no time to fight my spirits foes;
l have no time to mend my husband S
clothes;
My children roam the streets from morn
till night;
I have no time to teach them to do right
But Thou, o Lord, considering all my
cares,
Wilt count them righteous, also heed my
prayers.
Bless the bean supper and minstrel show,
And put it in the hearts OF all TO GO
Induce the visitors to patronize
The men who in our programme adVertse;
Because I've chased these merchants till
they hid
Whene'er they saw me comins-yes, they
did.
Increase the contributions to our fair
And bless the people who assemble there
Bless Thou the gra o-bag and the gypsy
tent,
The flower table and the cake that's sent;
May whist club be to our service blest,
The dancing party gayer than the rest;
And when Thou hast bestowed these bless
ingS, then
We pray that Thou wilt bless our souls.
Amen

more or less severity until about $50

HEAVY SELLING.
Iron Shares Went at Lively Rate
Last Week.

Berlin, April 1.-The more serious as
pect assumed by the Macedonian ques-
ton, together with the continued concern
about the situation on Wall street, caused
continued weakness in most departments
of the Boerse last week.
The trading in government funds was
light. The announcement regarding the is
sue of the new German per cent loan
amounting to $72, 100000, with a sub
scription price of go, caused some selling
of government bonds in order to buy back
the new issues which are slightly cheaper.
Nevertheless. the existing per cents held
their own because of March interest pay
ments liberated money for which invest
ment had to be found.
The Boerse reviews still give much at
tention to the New York situation, some
writer's asserting that a great lack of
confidence in the situation on Wall street
prevails in Germany. The interview given
by J. 2. Morgan regarding the financial
outlook is discussed in various ways
The Frankfurter Zeitung says that Mr..
Morgan's optimism is undoubtedly due
to his gigantic engagements. Therefore,
he above all men, is untitled to give an
objective judgment on the financial situa-
ton and prospects.
Canadian Pacific showed no develop
ment of interest. The announcement of
reduction in iron prices in the United
States caused heavy selling of iron shares
on Friday and Saturday, the quotations
losing what they had gained earlier in
the week through several advances In
prices of iron here. Most iron shares at
the close of the week were moderately
lower.

CHEERING TONE.
Pervaded the Stock Market Last
Week-Better Front Shown.

London, April 5.-The recovery of con-
soils, which came late in the week, had
a salutary effect and in consequence a
more cheering tone pervaded the stock
market, all departments showing better
front 1t is now believed that the period
of depression has ended. Money has be-
come easier. and with the dividend distri-
button the stock market will be enabled
to repay its loans to the Bank of Eng
land and a reduction in interest rate will
follow. American securities influenced by
the Southern Pacific fight remained
rather dull last week, though they dis
played a better tone yesterday
In the improved prospect on the stock
market, however, the Macedonian trou-
bles are a decidedly discouraging fea-
ture, and the situation in the Balkans has
created nervousness which is keeping
the public from trading, until something
more definite is known as to the future
In those regions
