MANAGEMENT OF WIVES.
What the Tactfui Husband Docs
when Ills EeIpmeet Wecps.

One thing the tactful husband does
Is to let his wife cry. | don't mean
that he drives her to crying or that he
lets her weep while he stands unsym-
pathetically by with his hands IN his
trousers pockets. his feet apart and
gnnning sardoncally. l mean that
when an emotional woman needs a
good cry he realizes that it will relieve
the tension. He does not get up and
rage about and kick footstools out Of
the way and say. "Oh, for heavens
sake, stop crying or you'll drive NE
to drink
No. He goes and pats her shoulder
soothingly and says:
There, little woman! I'm sorry the
cook has left and your new gown
hooks up crookedly, but cheer up. Let's
go out and have jolly little dinner,
and tomorrow I'll write that tailor q
letter that will make his hair curl"
Then she looks up through her tears
and thinks how handsome and big and
strong and glorious he is, and before
the dinner Is over she has thought up
two ways In which to economize and
30 pay for the extravaganza of his
order to the waiter, for the common
purse is not elastic, and she knows it

More than all else. an admirable col

cause Of the university anu Of higher
education has been brought TO the hearts
and heads of the people as never be-

latter supreme regard the going OF DIT.

Truth With Courage.

He has told the truth 20 Southern audi
ences when Il required courage TO be
truthful and ne has told the truth to
Northern audiences when hearts less
stout than his might have sought Sc
curity in silence or evasion.
At a time when. by reason OF an I'M
expected incident in national affairs. po-
lltical feeling ran high in the South, and
personal resentments were keen. DR..
Alderman had the courage 20 stand upon
the platform In New Orleans and TO in
troduce TO an audience composed almost
exclusively of negroes. a man who is the
recognized leader OF the negro race in
America and whose school has won
national and international fame.
II mattered little 20 DR.. Alderman that
ungenerous critics incapable OF appre-
ciating his motive. might condemn his
act There was duty to be done, a great
public service to be performed. Unin-
famed by passion and undeterred by

the duty. In his address to that audi

the man whom II was his pleasure "a

ample which Booker Washingtun's life

A Fearless Critic.

Is a fearless critic. He early formed the
habit Of looking situations squarely in

TO their traditions and their destiny, DR..

Reputation as an Orator.

DR.. AIderman's reputation as an ora
tor before cultured assemblages Is
hardly second to that Of any American.
His persuasive voice is lifted up in con-
tinual pleading for the higher educa-
tional life In New York. in Baltimore
I'm Chicago. In New Orleans. and in
Richmond. his extremely felicitous ad-
dresses have been notable features OF
notable occasions.
The distinctive characteristics Of DR..
Aide rTnan's professional career may be
said TO be an intense national spirit
mingled with discriminating reverence
for and discriminating understanding
Of the traditions and meaning OF South
ern life; a passion for democracy; be-
lief in the communal collective spirit
by which whole communities may be
lifted into a larger and n wider life, and
sympathy with the people and with their
laspirations for culture and power.
