But the American wifei Henry James has summed up the American wife In just one sentence. He says, '-rhe American wife knows nothing Of her husbands affairs. except that they are Of not the slightest consequence" l" This Is both epigrammatic and exactly true. The American wife has quite a genuine affection for her husband. Even after years of marriage have gone by she thinks of him with un- affected friendliness He is SO useful! She credits him with almost all tho virtues. except perhaps the virtue of being interesting. and she oyeriOoks that one defect of bis with charitable toleratiOn. She sees him come and go each day with clocklike regularity. She vaguely knows what his profes- sion or vocation Is. She thinks better of him if it is a profession or vocation that Is generally regarded as quite ereditable. But this is practically all she knows or cares about it.-Ainslee'a

In a translation of two folk tales about Napoleon, one from the French and the other the Russian, George Ken nan says that NapOleonder is the Rus sian peasants name for the emperor. It Is not quite clear why be has adopt cd it. Possibly the final syllable der has been added because to the ear of the peasant Napoleon seems incom- plete. as "Alexan" would sound to us without the "der."
 The point of view of the two nation alltics differs amazingly. The French peasant regards Napoleon as a great leader and conqueror, aided, if not di- rectly sent. by God to show forth the power and glory of France.
 The Russian peasant more thought tul by nature as well as less eXcltable and cumulative, admits that the con- Queror was sent to earth by God to illustrate the divine nature of sympa- thy and pity through the cruelty of war. Both are convinced of bis super natural origin. The Frenchman be ueyes that be was led by a guiding star. The Russian argues that he was created by the devil, and that God, having given him a soul, to punish the Russian people for their sins. then made him a man by inspiring him with compassion.

ROBBERY THEORY
BEING LOOKED INTO
Probable Motive for Theft Has
Developed Scott
Murder Mystery.

No developments are apparent in tho
Scott murder mystery. Tho detective and
police are allowing no grass to grow
under their feet In the seal CHI for clues
by which to trace the murderer.
Tic theory of robbery Is being worked.
1t was known that Mr. Scott had re-
ceivcd q dollar bill late on the night of
the murder from Mr., Sam Greenstreet, In
payment of an account. That bill has
never been accounted for and 1t may have
been that there were with that one, other
bills III tho money drawer which might
have been taken by the murderer who
did not stop to gather up the $l.l0 IN
silver that was scattered about In the
drawer.
The police have learned that Mr.. Scott
had considerable amount of money with
him up town that day. His purchases
for tho day consisted of ten pounds OF
peanuts and box of cigarettes. His
business was reputcd to have boon good,
and 1t seems to tho police natural that
he should have accumulated moro money
than that found in small change in the
drawer. There was none in his pockets.
No matter by whom the murder was
committed, 1t appears evident that 1t was
followed up by robbery.
The little store at Twenty-cighth and
Main, is closed. A trustee will be appoint
ed to look after the settlement OF the
estate, which consists of tho store and
dwelling adjoining and q small farm IN
Amelia county. This estate goes to the
children In equal parts.
After tho settlement tho family expects
to remain together and continue their
hunt for the assassin Of their father.

THlRTY-slx YEARS OF CONTlNU.
GUS SUCCESS.

Just think what that means, Thirty
six long years In business, each year
more successful than the previous one,
with never a backward movement, always
growing larger, ever increasing in popu-
lar favor. How many that We're doing
business 80 years ago are even in exis-
tence to-day, Very, very few In this
age OF development and fierce competi-
ton, concern must do business right,
treat its customers right and sell what
is right, to even hold its own. much
less advance. To do otherwise means that
the concern of to-day Is likely to be out
of the running tomorrow. The grave
yard of business failures Ia full to over
flowing, But thirty-sx years OF contin-
uous success and still growing. Think Of
It! How has 1t been accomplished? In
just one way. BY selling absolutely pure
whiskey, direct from our own distillery
to the consumer, saving him the enor-
nous nohts OF the dealers, and carrying
out to the letter Every statement or offer

cause he said it was by accident he
slpaped her over and kicked her.
