THE WIFE OF THE MIKADo.
Her Name Is Haruko and She Belongs
to One Of the Noblest Fam -
lilies ofsJapan.

The empress of Japan, Haruko (pop-
ularly named the Empress Spring'J },
is daughter of the noble house of Ich-
igo, one of the fine families of great
Kuge, or court personages, from which
a mikado may choose his consort. Until
her eighteenth year, when she was
chosen by her sovereign, she was brought
up in the strictest seclusion in the old
capital, Kioto, and received the custom
airy education of daughter of a princely
daimio.
Great pains were taken to teach her
literature, to develop her artistic taste
and to school her in the writing of grace
ful II inane verse.
She is. 81 years old, year older than
her husband. Having no children of her
own, she is content to see the son Of a
megaki, or concubine, reared as the heir
to the crown, and to recognize him as her
future lord, if she survives her husband.
Monogamy is now the rule in Japan,
and the next mikado will probably be
the last Of left handed birth to reign.
The present emperor is likewise . meg
axis son.
Empress Spring has been truly

band. 8SFFF s8#sh

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

It 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 J..
F. Hunt. ~ r-a=-.&' z-r
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 1t
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
1t, 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. Lolis, 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 APP,
pealed to the supreme court. -
On the appeal the main question raised
by the attorneys for Hunt was that a
man could not be technically guilty of
larceny OF his wife's goods, bec.use the
law regards them as one person, and a
man may not steal his own. II
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 womans statutes
and the provisions of law charging the
property rights of married women is to
do away with the reason for this rule,
to. such an extent as to make the prop.
erty of the wife the subject of larceny by
tho husband. az

WOMAN'S HANDIEST WEAPON
The Hatpin Inflicts 4 Severe Wound
and Can Be Got Ready forAc-
ton in Moment.

What shall we do in case we are at
tackled by some thief or rufian?" is the
question women have asked in every part
of the country. The man to whom the
question is put viii generally answer:
Garry a 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 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 foolish mistake. What, then,
can be provided for her that will be
formidable to foe, yet absolutely safe,
SO far as she is 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. It Is in reality a
stiletto, masQuerading as an innocent
hatpin. It is made of fine steel, that will
bend, but will not break. as sharp as
needle. and hardened at the end so that
it can be used with deadly effect as dag
ger, and q handle that enables 8 woman

to grasp it for use as q weapon and hold
it so that it cannot easily be pulled from
her hand. EEESs8 - III III
There are two ways of holding this
hatpin. It can be held with the thumb
pressed against the top or with the but
ton grasped in the palm of the hand. In
either way It is q weapon not to be de-
spised.
The method Of using it to the best adj
vantage when attacked Is to aim at the
face of the highwayman. A woman
armed with one of these stilettos is able
to do more damage in few seconds than
a 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 keenis it that, thrust home by wom-
an frenzied by fear. it Is likelyto pierce
through any ordinary clothing into .
vital part of a highwayman's anatomy. "A
There are times in most women's lives
when q suspicious looking character
comes into the ofing and prudence whis-
pers: Beware of him" While most
women would shrink under these CIR
cumstances from pulling out q revolver,
it is an innocent act to put the hand to
the hat and draw out one Of her stiletto-
like hatpins. With this in her hand
the nervous woman is ready for the
stranger, whatever his intentions. II
he is an honest man he win probably
take no notice of the woman saction. II
he is thief, it is more than probable
that he will mark the act and let the
woman pass unmolested.-N. y Trib-

The Festival hall is the center piece OF

Her apartments are simple, in the style

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
ghappy 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. = = g o
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
q 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 thing

V7HEN the woman who was a sin
w ner came and threw herself at
Jesus feet as He sat at meat in the Phari-
sees house, and washed His feet with
her tears and wiped them with the
hairs of her head and poured fragrant
ointment upon them, He graciously
and tenderly received the devotion of
the heart that longed for better and
pCrer life. and reDuked the proud
should allow this sinful woman to
touch Him. When Jesus passed
through Jericho on one occasion He
went out of His way to invite Himself
to dine with Zaccheus, the tax gather
er, the notorious bad man of the town.
Repeatedly Scripture declares that the
sinners and publicans focked to Jesus,
and He welcomed them always And
when the Pharisees murmured He told
them the beautiful and touching sto-
ries of the lost sheep, the lost coin
and the lost boy, and by them gave
Heavens standards of values and
showed how much soul was worth in.
the estimation of God. And even in
death Jesus found joy and fellowship
with the sinner as the dying thief
turned to Him for comfort and He re-
piled: This day shalt thou he with
Me in paradise Jesus was the Friend
of sinners He was willing to be
known as such. He welcomed them as
they came. He helped them as they
tarried. He sent them forth to purer
and better lives.
