MILLER CASE IS OPEN,
SAYS PUBLIC PRINTER
Declares Charges Are Still
Pending.
TALKS OF LINOTYPE MATTER
No Decision Reached Regarding the In
staiiation of Machines-Congress
Must Be Consulted.

1t was reported today that the charges
against Assistant Foreman Miller. OF
the bOokbinding division Of the Gov
eminent Printing Office. had been dis
missed: Miller would be retained in the
service OF the Government. and that %
result Of the trouble typesetting ma
chimes and other improved machinery
would be installed in the printing Office.
When the officers OF the Government
who have the matter in hand were ask
ed about the reports, they would make
no definite statement. II was admitted
both by Public Printer Palmer and Sec
rotary Cortelyou that the new charges
filed by the Bookb:nders' Union had been
reviewed, and that action in the case
would be taken in few days. Up TO the
present time, however. nothing had been
decided. Little doubt remains that Mil
Ter will continue in his place.
Concerning the case. Public Printer
Palmer said: The reports that we
have settled the case are untrue. We
have not yet reached any definite con
cIusion- So far as We have gone. how
ever, the charges do not seem to be
serious"
AS 10 the reports that machinery is
TO be installed. Mr.. Palmer saSN that
such reports had been in circulation for
a long time. hut that nothing definite
had ever been decided upon. II is a
matter on which Congress must be coz
suited before action IS taken

the opinion today that the convention
Of the stereotypers and electrotyDers
would probably not take action on the
Miller case.
LAS Ear as I am concerned he said,
II think the best plan is 20 ignore it
unless II should come before US through
the regular channels. Miller's case has
not been acted upon by the president OF
the International Brotherhood of Book
binders, to whom he has appealed from
the action OF the local bookbinders'
unicn.
should President Tatum uphold the
local union, Miller would still have an
appeal TO the convention OF bookbind-
ers. II the convention should uphold
the local union and President Tatum.
then we might consider the matter. but
am in favor OF ignoring IL at this
convention.

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

l half way promised to say some
thing about boys this week. Well,
there is SO much to say that I do not
know where to begin. First of all,
we must never forget hat each boy
carries his W bride, and if we are
so fortunate as to guide him at all
it must usually be done by stealth;
for n of the first things he learns
is hal "man is lord of all he sur
veys" and this thought impels him
to exercise his own sweet will.
All boys are not bad boys, but all
love independence. I sometimes
think hat in trying to be careful
with our girls and their behavior,
we forget to be just as careful as to
the conduct of our boys. The boy
goes where he pleases and associates
with whom he chooses and imbibes
thoughts detrimental to his future
welfare and present good, while
girls are shielded by parental watch
care.
Are our girls dearer to us than
are our boys2 No, indeed they are
not, and we should be just as careful
with the boy as we are with his sis
ter. His language should be as pure
as hers, his amusements as harmless.
They each have souls of equal value
in Gods sight and each of them are
destined to be future citizens of an
eternal abode. The choice is with
them. We can be faithfully watch
full here and show them what road
to take; but we can not compel them
to do so.
Mind, boys, how you wear your
brides. Don't let everybody guide
you with it; if you do, you will find
that you are not a man at all, but a
mere sloth to be moved in any direc-
ton they see fit. There is one per-
son on earth whom you can always
trust to guide you and under all CIR.
cumstances to the best of her abil-
ity, and that person is your mother.
She loves you better than any one
else can, and her interest in your ul-
innate success is unbounded. She
would not have you fail in anything
honorable, and if she frankly tells
you that she fears your venture in
business or conduct, stop and think;
for she means it, and besides being
older in her knowledge of the world,
she is your mother, and that mean
vastly more than I can tell you.
Our letter from Mrs. S. E. M. is
interesting. Several letters came
last week after I had written, and I
failed to acknowledge them, but was
glad each wrote.
Let us have other letters in the
contest for best suggestions as to
spending winter evenings.

so I will write, myself, and perhaps
then the others viii try.
Of course there are many families
who do not have any recreation, even
on our long winter evenings. So it
is useless to tell them "how to spend
the evening"" as every family knows
best what kind of work is most
pressing.
But to those who do have some
leisure hours after supper, I would
suggest that to get both profit and
pleasure. if there are boys or girls
or both attending school, let them
be required the first thing to learn
their lessons; the older members Of
the family assisting them. Have
them recite the lessons; that is both
pleasant and profitable.
Then let the one who reads most
fuently, select some good book or
newspaper and read aloud for the
entertainment and instruction of all
present. If no other book or paper
is convenient, there is the Bible,
which is always present, always in
s%tructive, and never grows old.
Vary the amusement. If there are
musical instruments and those that
can play, have music, and if without
instruments, have vocal music.
Nearly every person can sing, and to
sing well is quite an accomplish
ment, therefore training the young
people to love and study and prac-
tiee music is as profitable as any way
that our evenings can be spent.
But when any one way becomes
tiresome, change to something new.
To have variety, where people live
near to each other, an occasional
candy party, or sugar boiling is very
delightful to the young, and not so
very disagreeable to the old.
BY a little exertion the young peo-
pie in the neighborhood can get up
a series of amateur theatricals. Tab
leaux and charades are easy and de-
lightfully entertaining.
But where circumstances will not
admit of these things the young peo-
pie can play "Jack in the bush,'
'Puss in the corner" or "Blind
mans buff"
I would say to the parents that
they should take part in the chill
dren's amusements as often as posi-
bic, for the. young enjoy having the
older people enter into their frolics
as much as anything that can be
done for their happiness.
Before 1 close I must say to the
parents, never omit the lessons.
Teach the youth that business comes
first; recreation afterwards.
And now, Aunt Jennie, lest I be
tiresome, I will close, hoping to see
many good letters in our Chat cor
ner upon this very interesting sub
ject. MRS. S. E. M.

The origin of the word Sincerity"
is profoundly interesting and sug-
gestive. When Rome fourished,
when her fame was spread the world
over, when the Tiber was lined with
noble palaces built of choicest mar
bic, men vied-with each other in the
construction of their habitations.
Skilful sculptors. were in request and
immense sums of money were paid
for elaborate workmanship. The
workmen, however, were then guilty
of practicing deceitful tricks.
If, for example, they accidentally
Clipped the edges of the marble, or
if they discovered some conspicuous
flaw, they would fill up the chink and
supply the deficiency by means of
prepared wax. For some time the
deception would not be discovered;
but, when the weather tested the
buildings, the heat or damp would
disclose the wax.
At length those who had deter
mined on the erection of mansions
introduced a binding clause into
their contracts to the effect that the
whole work from the first to the last,
was to be sine cera-that is, with
out wax" Thus we obtain our word
sincerity" To be sincere is to be
without any attempt on our part to
mislead or Observation-Disclosures

their wedding tour to visit it, but
that IS what has happened: "W. i'll.

uas the entry made on the register at
the Byram yesterday afternoon by a
man. who disclosed, when he lifted
his hat to wipe his forehead, after
the unusual task of writing "and
wife" after his name, hat he was
getting bald.
He was accompanied by a very
voung looking girl, a half head taller
than he. neatly dressed and rather
pretty. and bearing on her face a
feature which disclosed her identity;
the Bryan mouth. She was, until
Saturday evening, Miss Ruth Bryan,
daughter of the IS to 1 prophet, and
was Ell route with her groom to New
port. r. l. In the evening the bride
and groom attended the Presbyterian
Church. and there was rubbering
when their identity became known.
"The rubbers in Kansas" said the
bride good-naturedly to the night

after services, care almost as bad as
they are in Nebraska"
Mr.. and Mrs. Leavitt spent the
morning walking up and down Com
mercial and there was a suspicion
for a time that they had run out of
funds and we're waiting for money to
go on, but this was dispelled when
they left over the Burlington at noon
for St. Joe.
Somehow the evident happiness of
the bride and bridegroom did not
strike a responsive chord In the Atch-
ison heart. There arose a picture of
the wedding at Lincoln Saturday
night which they could not dispel.
1t was the termination of the old
story of a wilful girl, so determined
to have her W way that she left
home and stayed around with the
~neighborS for two weeks till her pa
rents weakened and invited her lover
to come and stay at their house and
be a member of the family.
When the preacher arose to per-
form the marriage ceremony the
mother of the bride left the room,
probably because she felt that she
would break down if she stayed, and
the guests saw her no more The
father, with two smaller children,
stayed the ordeal out, but it was no.

graduate the bridegroom nor shake
hands with him. A few members of
a Greek society, to which the bride
had belonged in her college days,
gave a little wedding procession and
passed things" to the guests.
After it was over and there came
the pause when, in the happiest of
cases, it seems like closing down the
coffin lid, the bride went upstairs,
Saw her mother alone a few moments,
and then left her home with the man
OF her choice. They walked to the
corner to a street car and rode to a

Why his Marriage Was a Failure.

Why His Marriage Was a Failure.
He regarded children as a nui-
sance.
He did all his counting before
marriage.
He never talked over his affairs
with his wife.
He never had time to go any
where with his wife.
He doled out money to his wife
as if to a beggar.
He looked down upon his wife as
an inferior being.
He never took time to get ac-
quainted with his family.
He thought of his wife for what
she could bring him.
He never dreamed that there were
two sides to marriage.
He never dreamed that a wife
needs praise or compliments.
He had one set of manners for
home and another for society.
He paid no attention to his per-
sonal appearance after marriage.
He married an ideal, and was dis
appointed to find it had flaws.
He thought his wife should spend
all her time doing homework.
He treated his wife as he would
not have dared to treat another wo-
man.
He never dreamed that his wife
needed a vacation, recreation or
change.
He never made concessions to his
wife's Judgment, even in unimpor-
tant matters.
He thought the marriage vow had
made him his wife's master, instead
of her partner.
He took all the little attentions
lavished on him by his wife as his
by "divine right" and not as faVors.
He always carried his business
troubles home with him. instead of
locking them in his store or office
when he closed.-Orison Sweet Mar
