Marital Duties Defined.

In passing upon All application for di-
voroe the other day Judge John N. Nc
Elhinny Of Clayton, Mo-, TOOK occasion
to define Some OF the duties of married
people toward each other In the case
at bar tho parties were both Of good
family. Since last summer they have
been living apart, though each Processes
the profoundest love for the other,
putting tho blame for the separation at
the door OF their relatives, The attor-
ney for the husband stated in court that
the two young people could again live
together happily il removed from the
influences of thor families. On the wit
ness stand tho young wife declared that,
though she loved her husband, she could
never again live with him. The court
considered all the facts involved and
laid down tho following general rules:
from her mother.
1t is the duty of both to forsake father
and mother and cleave to each other.
The husband is tho head Of tho family
and it is the wife's duty to live where
he chooses, in the style he adopts and
the abode his station in life justitics.
Every presumption is in favor Of the
wife's innocence; she is probably surer
of the path OF virtue than he. Let him
trust her as he expects to be trusted
and mutual confidence will inspire both
to be true.
Let the husband not toy with thoughts
of suicide. 1t is out of date, well-nigl
obsolete. 1t is no longer deemed evil
dcnce of bravery, but is proof of moral
cowardicc.
The husband should not sulk. Ht
should be proud Of his wife; if other.
admire her, instead Of being jealous.
The court held to the view that the
main difficulty in the case before it was
in the fact that the young people die
not have the opportunity to establish
themselves on an independent footing
1t was therefore held that the rcmed,
was not to annul the marriage, but tt
let the couple get away from disturbing
Influences and have the opportunity tt
develope into that unity which is thu
normal state of married perple.

"Stick to 1t -

Geo. L. Heard, Of High Tower, Georgia,
writes: Eczema broke out on my baby
covering his entire body. Under treat
ment of our family physician he got
worse, as he could not sleep for the

it was gone he was we'll. The doctor

Condition of 6. A. r. In Iowa.

The old veterans are dropping away
fast and in q few years, if the ratio of
the last year keeps up, the G. A. r., in
stead Of being an active organization,
will be a historic society, whose mem
bcrship is Il matter of record, not of
existence.
During the past year the membership
Of the Iowa department has dropped
from 1920 to 1885, nearly 1900 hay
ing either died during the twelve
months intervening or have moved out
OF the state.
The posts in the state have likewise
decreased in numbers from $50, the
number reported for June 30, 1902, to
376, the number reporting for last
June.
The exact condition of tho Grand
Army of the Repablic in Iowa is shown
| by the statistics sent by Department
Inspector Cousins to Adjutant General
Newman at Dcs MONIES. His report in
cludcd the following items of interest:
Number of posts in the state, 376.
Members i'll good standing, 1880.
Posts inspected, 37G.
Number of posts uniformed, 50.
Posts with Woman's Relief Corps aux
ilisry, 22G.
Posts with Sons OF Veterans attached,
80.
Total post relief fund, $3,672.65.
Total relief fund expended, 81 ,943.60.
Amount of money in hands OF quar-
termasters, S23,0sa,36.
Other property owned by posts,
S1G,864O4.
OF the posts inspected 1856 were in a
good condition, 115 fair and 105 in a
poor condition of organization.
While the membership of the organi-
cation has materially decreased during
the year intervening between Captain
Cousins two reports, yet the finances
OF the G. A. r. in Iowa show good in
crease. On Juno 80, 1901, there was
owned by the Iowa organization Of the
G.. A. II. in moneys 21,878.0s. The
same posts this year reports funds on
hand amounting to $23,0a5.s6. The
amount expended for the same years
was 81 ,764.5S and $1,943.60.
The real property owned by the G. A.
r. in the state has, however, decreased
from 64,01402 to the amount named in
this years report, 1851 ,S64.04.
The decreased is explained by the
Inspector to have occurred on account
of the decrease in the number of posts.

Pension Commissioners Ware recently
received an application for pension
from civil war veteran who does not
hesitate to tell the truth about his claim
on the nations gratitude. When re-
quested to specify the circumstances
under which he incurred physical dis
abilities he sent the following detailed
explanation: "The way got my war in
gerry was ketchin of a hog. The hog
war SOW hog and our captain wanted
her for forege. He was chasin the SOW
and she crawled threw hoal in rale
fence. 1t war big hoal and l thot /
war about the Sis of the hog, and tried
to crawl threw, but stuk and trim to
wiglc out | throde the rales off and one
hit me on my he'd and nocked me sense
less. do not think the SOW pig had
nothing to do with my line Of duty, for
did not koch the hog. Wich she never
war caut." Mr.. Ware is of the opinion
that such candor as this should entitle
the writer to unusual consideration.
Over at Fontanellc, according to the
Observer, the town council at recent
sitting passed resolution asking all
business men to comply with the state
law by closing their places of business
on the Sabbath" The Observer goes on
to say that the request met with ready
compliance by all and the ''changc will
tend to create a more general respect
for the day" 1t would seem that six
days in the week should be enough for
carrying on the ordinary business affairs
without infringing on the allotted rest
period which exp erience has fully de-
monstrated is absolutely essential to the
well being of mankind. Large enterprises
employed many men, are becoming SO
convinced of the benefits of day OF
rest that they arc voluntarily reducing
Sabbath work to minimum. Calculat-
ed from the low basis of dollars and
cents Sabbath work and Sabbath disipa-
ton, are not only not profitable but
actually Improbable.
