the morning. telling me the tale
of bis married unhappiness. It
had to come out, and ] happened
to be there, and got it. r. i had
been q wooden Indian it would
have done just az well. 1t was 4
volcano that had to erupt. He
said: You know my wife. I
married her two years ago. She
was. and is everything that a
woman should be. / loved her
passionately. Otherwise there
was no earthly reason why /
should have married her. AT the
end of eight months my love died.
Since then I've been in Hades.
i said, 'Whyg'
Because she won't let me out
of her sight, said he. She's
learned typewriting, and comes
down to my Office to be my secle-
tary. / can't get away from her
an hour out Of the twenty-four.
It's driving me mad. urged her
for a month to 60 and see her
folks. Now she's gone for three
weeks, and / like her better today
than / have any time for the last
year and a half.
i said, Why don't you tell hel
all this9'
He said, 1t would break her
heart.
T said, MY young friend, you
are egotistic.
HE said: Well, perhaps I
am. But to deliberately tefl her
that Pm tired of her, that / can't
bear her around so much, that /
must have some relief from hel.
/ simply can't do it. It's too bru-
tai.
: Well, you'll have to do it, :
said /, or sooner or later there'll
be an explosion that will break
hearts for sure. Human nature
can't stand that kind of strain con-
tinuously.
Now, do you suppose that is
the only boy in that state of mind
in New York? No; there are
thousands of them. If you want a
man to love you, give him his
freedom. Don't ask where he
has been. Don't ask what he's
been doing. Don't keep any track
of his movements. Give him his
freedom, freely, royalty, like a
queen, and you will have and keep
devoted lover, if there is any
thing in you to love; and there
must be if you can rise to that
point of self-control and generosi-

Give a Woman Freedom.

~AbS - WVsssSA AtSSNVeAts
"And the other side of it is exact
ly the same. Give a woman her
freedom, if you want to keep her
love. OF course, if you like. to
play the despot better than to re-
tain your wife's love, all right.
But you can't do both. Assume
no control over her movements.
/ believe most women like to have
their husbands ask where they
have been, what they have been
doing. You won't find out, if she
doesn't want you to, any mole
than she will find out if you don't
want her to. But she likes to
think you want to know. Now,
this is an unnatural feeling on
woman's part. It seems instinc-
tive, but it isn't. It comes be-
cause women haven't been used to
so much freedom as men have.
Train hel the other way. Train
her to have her own private life,
and live it like an independent be-
ing, and never think Of giving an
account of it; and she will like
you better, too. And don't de-
mand anything of her that you
are not prepared to give. Ii you.
come home at 2 a. m. and offer no
explanation of what has detained
you, don't say a single word if
she does the same. And what's
more, don't feel any resentment.
Make up your mind, once for all,
to grant freedom. Demand free
dom for yourself, and accord it to
her, fully and absolutely. In that
way husbands and wives come to
be a pleasure to each other, and
not restriction. And restric-
tion, no matter how loving, in
time gals. Love can not and will
not live under it.
With this basis of freedom,
perfectly understood and gladly
accorded on both sides, marriages
will not kill love, no matter how
long it lasts, if there is anything
in either party to inspire love.
This is real freedom in mar
rage. Mere disregard of the
conventional ceremony is not the
real freedom at all. Even with
the instinct of enslayement that
exists in the married relation to-
day, there are thousands who pre-
fer union without it. That shows
that the institution meets the
needs Of the people. / wish that
/ could make all radical people so
that any institution that flourishes
is suited to the conditions of that
time. There is no sense in blam-
ing an institution. The fact that
it is popular shows that the peo-
pie want it.
As for unhappy marriages,
there is no power III church or
State that can compel you to live
with person you don't want to
live with. If for social, or finan-
cial, ol cowardly reasons you will
not break it, for heavens sake

EternaI EsplOnaee Kills L.


Il will tell you what is the real
cure for love, the thing that will
kill it as surely and irremediabIy
as The action Of any law Of nature.
1t is a disposition on the part of
either one of the parties to con-
troll the movements Of the other.
And when we consider the vast
number Of marriages ID which the
husband tries to control the wife,

On living together, we can explain
it only BY the fact that we are SO

An Old Clock.

The oldest working clock in Great Britain is that of Peter borough Cathedral, which dates from 1920, and is conceded to have been made by a monastic clockmaker. It is the only one now known that is wound up over an old wooden wheel. This is some twelve feet in circum- ference, carrying a galvanized cable about 300 feet in length, with a leading weight of three hundredweight. The cable has to be wound up daily. The gong is the great tenor bell of the Cathedral, which weighs 32 hun dredweight, and it is struck hourly by an so pound hammer. The gong and striking parts of the clock are some yards apart, communication being by a slend- CT wire. The clock is not fitted with a dial, but the time is in- dicated on the main wheel of the escapement, which goes round once in two hours. This clock is of most primitive design, more so than the famous one made for Charles V. of France by Henry de Nick.
