Husbands. Note This.

There are few right thinking per-
sons who would deny that business
men ought to confide in their wives,
says the Pittsburg Press.
First of all, a woman cannot feel
that her husband has given her his
whole heart when he keeps from her
the whole course of his business life.
No doubt, it is generally done from a
good motive. The husband thinks he
is saving his wife worry and trouble,
but in most cases he is doing the ex-
act opposite, for every wife with right
feeling would gladly lessen her hus-
bands burdens by sharing them.
Nor does sensible woman care for
the left-handed compliment that her
pretty head was not meant to bother
with figures. True marriage is a true
union in everything where all is open,
and the griefs and the sorrows of each
are shared by both, and comfort drawn
from the mutual sympathy. A man
who does not confide in his wife de-
liberately shuts himself out from his
chief consolation.

SIXTY THOUSAND GUNNY SACKS.
Japanese Will Use Them to Fill Port
Arthur Moat.

Chefoo, Sept. lowell informed
Japanese who reached Chefoo from
Port Dalny report that the Japanese
army before Port Arthur is preparing
to make another assault upon the fort
ress. Japanese agents here are send
ing to Port Dalny 10000 gunny sacks
and are endeavoring to secure 10000
more. 1t is reported that these sacks
are to be filed with sand and used to
fill up portions of the moat protect
ing the Russian right flank.
The Chinese report that the Rus
slams are paying fifty cents each for
unexploded shells manufactured for
use during the Chinese-Japanese war.
The persistency of this report during
the last two weeks entities it to con-
siderable consideration, as indicat-
ing a shortage of large ammunition
at Port Arthur.

Mrs. Tom Thumb Still Alive

Mrs. Tom Thumb, made famous by
Barnum, Is still alive at the age of
G5. She had regular turn in Mid
get theater at Coney Island and is
driven home each evening in the
identical coach presented to Tom
Thumb in 1884 by King Edward, then
Prince of Wales. She is very religious
and member of the Actors Church
alliance and of the Woman's Aid soci-
ETY.. She is also a Daughter of the
American Revolution. The famous
wedding of Tom Thumb was cele-
brated in Grace church, New York, in
1864, and the photograph of "The
Fairy Wedding Group" is doubtless
still cherished in hundreds of plush
albums or parlor center tables.

General Kuropatkln's Army Arrives A.
ter Frighiful Experience.
THROUGH The MUD AND MIRE'
The Care of the Wounded Has Filled
The Hospitals to the Utmost and
Only the Most Severe Cases are
Given Medical Attention.

st. Petersburg, Sept. LIT seems
to be definitely established that Field
Marshal Oyama's tired troops aban-
doned the attempt to head off Gen
| eral Kuorpatl1in, whose army has ar
rived safely at Mukden after fright
mud and mire over the Mandarin
roads.
| Some descriptions of the scenes
along the line of retreat are almost
incredible. They tell how the men lay
down in the mud and slept in a
| drenching rain
1t is evident that the last determ-
| ined effort of the Japanese to bring
Kuropatkin to- bay was made on Tues
| day, but the Russian COMMANDMENTS
of artillery beat off the Japanese.
| while the remainder Of the troops con-
| tinued to march to Mukden. After that
the Japanese could only hang on to
the TANKS and try to shell the retreat
ing columns from the hills. The out
posts are still in contact, but they
are not even exchanging shots.
A late Associated Press dispatch
sent from Mukden describes the hor-
rible plight of the tentless and shell
terless soldiers.
The detailed statement of the Rus
sian losses which it is promised will
be issued on Saturday, is awaited with
intense interest The general eXpec-
tation that the losses will approximate
10000, as against 10000 for the Japan
eSe
The work of buryirg the dead was
left to the Japanese, who were forced
to attempt the task as a matter of
self-preservation, but it was an almost
impossible undertaking. The awful
rains have handicapped the work of
cremation on which the Japanese re-
lied, and only shallow trench burials
were possible in many cases under the
circumstances. Not only is such bur
ial one of great difficulty, but it is al
most valueess from a sanitary stand
of view, the storms undoing it soon
after it is accomplished.
The care of the wounded has taxed
the hospitals to the utmost. One
correspondent says that $4,000 wound
ed had passed through the Mukden
hospitals up to Monday, and only the
the most severe case could be attend
most severe cases could be attended
by the nurses and surgeons.

Why They Do Not Speak.

Good morning, Miss Sweetleigh!'
cried Cholly Sparkers to the fair dam
sci of his acquaintance whom he had
just met; pray what brings you out
SO early in the day."
"Oh, I've just been to the photog-
rapher's with my pet pug Pansy, and
we have had our portraits taken to-
gether, haven't we, dear? Beauty and
the beast, you know" she added, with
saucy little laugh.
and what little beauty he is, to
be sure" replied Johnson, as he ten
derby stroked poor Pansy's Uranium.
Then he suddenly coughed, went red,
and tried to explain. But she turned
away, leaving him to become hot and
cold in turn; and thus they parted
for evermore.

married the other day. He was the
last one of his set to get married, and
his friends desired to have little fun
with him. When Lewis received an
invitation to wedding, he invariably
sent a mantel clock as wedding
present. Lewis and his mantel clock
got to be a standing joke among his
friends, and it was always looked for
ward to, and he never disappointed
them. They were all alike, and the
idea got about that he bought them
by the gross and kept them on hand
for an emergency.

to get even with MIN by each one of

They Bathe in starched Collars.

At one of the exclusive resorts on
the Sound there is just now a rage
for high-necked bathing suits, says the
New York Press. The ordinary sailor
blouse is worn, but inside the low "
shaped neck the wearers insert a
"dicky" with high collar, finished
with lawn or embroidered turnover.
The sight of this prim array of women
bathers in laundered turn-overs-a
fresh one each morning, if you please
is worth a walk to the bathing
grounds any day.

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because II
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starcbes are put up in Apound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
1909. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has

Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance OF the iron

At a fire in Erfurt, Germany, the

Meanwhile, the fire had taken such a
hold that before it was got under
control several houses were burned

With sharp little sdueal:

Said the fourth little chicken,
With a small sigh of grief:

STATE employees TO BE UNDER
CIVIL SERVICE.

Ernest N. Warner, assemblyman
from Madison, is said to be drawing
up a bill to be introduced in the
next legislature, which will put a
large number Of states employees
under civil service rules. The bill
will probably be modelled very
closely after the law which is now
In successful operation in Massachu-
setts. Such a law will necessitate
a board of civil service examiners,
which will examine all of the APP
plicants for certain offices, and the
appointments can be made from the
number found eligible. This law
will place oil inspectors, food in
spectoIs and game wardens under
itsycontrol.
At is said that Mr.. Warner has
been studying up the various laws
now in operation in New York,
Massachusetts and Illinois for the
past twY months, and now has his
own bill well in hand. The bill will
mark Mr.. Warmers debut in the
state legislature. It's said that he
is going to be made the admins
trative spokesman on the floor.

The joys of Christmas tide are
now numbered among the pleasures
Of the past, and the wasted form
Of 1904. securely bound by frost,
will soon be buried like it's pre-
decessors in the cemetery Of de-
parted years. The past twelve
months have brought to each and
all of us a measure of experience
Of various kinds. Sunshine and
shadow have been blended, and Joy
and sorrow have in turn been tenn
pe,ed by the changing lights. Pleas
ure unalloyed has been the lot of
but few, while the bitterness that
comes from blighted hopes and cruel
disapointments has entered into
many lives. Woe and veal in I'M
equal parts have been melted out,
and the burdens which many have
been called to bear have weighed
them to the earth. Yes, the year
just ending has borne it's fruitage,
and not unlike the orchards autumn
crop, it has dropped to some the
gold tinted pippins of pleasure,
while to others gnarled, unhealthy
fruit has fallen. But to what
purpose do we ruminate on the
past? Let the dead year bury its
dead, and let the helpful angel of
hope usher us into new year and
forgetful of the misfortunes of the
past but mindful of the lessons they
have taught US, may we make the
future brighter than our past has
been. That health, prosperity and
pleasure may fall to the lot of the
Herald's readers is our wish.
