FUMIGATE THE DoxoLoGY.

Il am willing to join with other
Protestant churches and ministers in
fumigating the doxology which Bishop
Potter has disgraced," said Rev. Will
liam e. barton, pastor of the First
Congregational church, of Oak Park,
ILL.,, at prayer meeting service the
other night. II would willingly say
that the fine old quatrain should not
be used for the space of twelve
months, until it has lost its associa-
ton with Bishop Potter's blasphemous
misuses of that noble composition"
We suggested in our last issue that
Bishop Potter's advocacy of model,
saloon was logical consequence of
his belief in and practice of "moder-
ate" drinking. Mr.. barton suggests a
further logical step or two. He says:
"The rich man has his club and his
wine. Why should not the church pro-
vide the poor man with respectable
saloon? And, would add, the rich
man bets at the derby. Why should
not the church provide the poor man
with pool room? The rich man
keeps mistress. Why should not the
church dedicate a brothel with the
long meter doxology?"

In 1897, after the burning Of the Penn

political thieves of the state For this

for state treasurer on the Prohibition

over $4,000 votes, carrying every coun-

ceived nearly $4,000 votes, being the
largest vote ever polled in any state for

THE LEGISLATIVE CAMPAIGNS

They are going on merrily. sec Cal
derwood, who is more, familiar with the
situation than anyone else, says the par
ty is confronted with entirely new con-
ditions this year. We all feel that it has
taken new lease of life. The writer
recently visited portions of two legisla-
tive districts. If matters throughout the
state, or. even in those districts where
we have legislative nominees in the field
are in as good shape as there, there is
plenty of reason for enthusiasm. OF the
legislative fights being made at least a
half dozen are out town campaigns.
Secretary Calderwood's run for the legis-
1ature is one Of these. 1t would do our
people good to see the way in which his
name and face are plastered over south
eastern Minneapolis. He has already had
two or three decidedly interesting de-
bates with old party candidates. J. j.
Hagen Of Mcleod county, formerly a
Populist candidate. is winning many
votes from the other parties. Two papers
are supporting j. e. Robinson in Martin
and Watonwan counties. Geo. H. An
drews, Faribault county, while a busy
business man, is giving thirty days to
lively hand shaking campaign and is
winning right along. And there are 9TH

There are two ways of holding this

ton grasped in the palm of the hand. In
either way it is weapon rot to be de-

The method of using it to the best adj

face Of the highwayman. A woman
armed with one of these stilettos is able
to do more damage in few seconds than
man unarmed. The wicked little blade
is so small that it is impossible to grasp
it to wrench it away from her, and yet
so keen is it that, thrust home by wom-
an frenzied by fear, it is likely to pierce
through any ordinary clothing into a
vital part Of highwayman's anatomy.

FAILURE IN MARRIED LIFE.
Much Unhappiness Is Caused Because
Men and Women Fail to Har-
monte Their Tempers.

Unless tempers can be harmonized no
marriage can be truly happy. Some may
say that to resort to reasoning out every
little difference of opinion will lead to
an unhappy existence. Reason should
never be considered a tyrant, but coun-
selor However hard the struggle may
be, it is sure to lead to wonderful re-
suits; and as nothing in this life is
gained without struggle and persistent
effort, married couples who are not
happy only because they cannot har-
monte their tempers, will find that the
struggle. even if it has taken years and
years, will be worth the effort.
The Importance of harmonizing tenn
pers in married life is not less than that
of marriage itself. People seem to resort
to marriage because they can picture
a land of unalloyed happiness in which
they may dwell. After one or two years
of married existence the dream is shat
tered. Pride alone then bids many a
man and wife to live together in inhar-
monious union. They have reasonable
share of the comforts of life, but most
of them have too much Of one thi1g-
temper.-N. Y. Weekly.

WoMAN'S HANDIEsT WEAPON
The Hatpin Inficts Severe Wound
and Can Be Got Ready for Ac-
ton in a Moment.

What shall We do in case we are at
tackled by some thief or ruffian?" is the
question women have asked in every part
OF the country. The man to whom the
question is put will generally answer:
Garry revolver" But women dread
revolvers. Few women possess the
nerve necessary to use pistol with eff
feet when attacked. Then there is the
objection to revolver in the possession
OF a woman that she would be averse
to suspecting the motive of every man
she met, and would probably fail to draw
the revolver until too late, for fear OF
making a foolish mistake. What, then.
can be provided for her that will be
formidable to foe, yet absolutely safe,
so far as sheis concerned, and ever ready
at hand, whether wanted for use or not?
The answer to the puzzle has been
provided by those who make women's
hatpins. A hatpin has been designed
that is intended primarily for use as a
weapon of defense. 1t is in reality a
stiletto, masquerading as an innocent
hatpin. 1t is made of f1na steel. that will

WoMAN's MONEY HER OWN.
Arkansas Court Holds That Legal
Rights Of Wives Make Property
Subject to Larceny.

1t has been held by the lower courts at
times that man could not steal from
his wife and vice versa. The supreme
court of Arkansas has recently handed
down decision which declares that a
man may steal from his WIFE
The case in which this decision was
rendered was that of the state versus ].
F., Hunt.
Hunt, saloon keeper married Miss
Maud Nevills, who had bank account
of about six hundred dollars. Almost
Immediately after their marriage he be-
gan to try to get possession of it.
Mrs. Hunt, while willing enough to
share with him whatever income it
might bring, would not give it to him alb
solutely. He prevailed upon her at last
to give him check for the amount, with
the understanding that he was not to use
it, but invest it in piece of property for
her. Hunt obtained the money and lost
no time in leaving the state with another
woman They went to st. Louis, and
were finally tracked to Los Angeles He
was brought back to Arkansas to stand
trial.
Hunt was indicted and convicted in
circuit court for grand larceny and SEN
fenced to Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary for five years. From this he ap-
pealed to the supreme court.
On the appeal the main question raised
by. the attorneys for Hunt was that
man could not be technically guilty OF
larceny of his wife's goods. because the
law regards them as one person, and q
man may not steal his own
In an opinion delivered by Chief Jus
tice Bum the court declined to adopt
this view, holding that, while at COM
mon law the legal unity of the husband
and wife made it impossible for the one
to be guilty of theft from the other, the
effect Of the married woman's statutes
and the provisions of law enlarging the
property rights of married women is to
do away with the reason for this rule.

derby in Appearance as to
Neglect the Toilet.

IN these days of inexpensive clothing,
no one can afford to leave his room until
he is in a condition to be presentable
anywhere. Neither can he afford, writes
o. S. Marden, in Success, to bother about
thinking of his clothing after he is
once dressed, but he should so clothe
himself that he will be utterly uncon-
scious of any inferiority. A sense of
being fittingly and appropriately dressed
increases ones efficiency and self-re-
spect, and SO adds materially to achieve
ment. If you are improperly dressed,
or badly "groomed." you will feel
certain timidity in meeting people,
loss of power. This results In un-
easiness. worry, chagrin and real loss
of energy and self-confdence.

they see of our personality, and they
judge us accurately. They take it for
granted that our general appearance is
a sample of what we are and what we
can do. and, If we are slovenly in dress,
and in personal habits, they naturally
think that our work and our lives will
correspond. They are right. 1t does
not matter where the slackness or shift
lessness manifests itself, or what It's ma
ture may be. 1t will reappear in your
work, in your manner. and In your per-
son. Many people form careless habit
OF neglecting some part of their toi-
let, as when they black only the front
part OF their shoes and leave the heels
untouched. The same incompleteness,
the same lack of finish will appear in
every letter they write and IN every
piece of work they attempt to do. It
will prove a detriment to character
growth. The consciousness of incom-
pleteness, or "slip-shodness." tends to
destroy self-respect to lessen energy,
and to detract from ones general ability
