trouble If you make 1t a rule never to
refuse q request before breakfast and
never to grant one after dinner. don't
know why it is, but most women get
up in the morning as cheerful as a
breakfast food adj, while a mar will
snort and paw for trouble the minute
his hoofs touch the floor. Then, If
you'll remember that the longer the
last word is kept the bitterer it gets
and that your wife is bound to have it
anyway, you'll cut the rest of your
quarrels so short that she'll never find
out just how much meanness there is
in you. Be the silent partner at home
and the thinking one at the office. DO
your loose talking in your sleep.
OF course if you get Il woman who's
really fond of quarreling there isn't
any special use in keeping still, be-
cause she'll holler if you talk back
and yell if you don't. Tire best that
you can do is to pretend that you've
got Il chronic case of earache and keep
your ears stuffed with cotton. Then,
like as not, she'll buy you one of these
things that you hold in your mouth so
that you can hear through your teeth.

How to Treat the Turkeycock Man.

It's only q mighty big man that
doesn't care whether the people whom
he meets believe that he's big, but the
smaller q fellow is the bigger he wants
to appear. He hasn't anything of his
own in his head that's Of any special
Importance, so just to prove that he's n
trusted employee and In the confidence
Of the boss he gives away everything
he knows about the business. and, as
that isn't much, he lies a little to swell
1t up. It's a mighty curious thing how
some men will lie a little to impress
people who are laughing at them, will
drink a little in order to sit around
with people who want to get away
from them and will even steal n little
to Ego into society" with people who
sneer at them.
The most important animal in the
world is q turkeycock. You let him
get among the chickens on the manure
pile behind the barn, with his wings
held down stiff, his tail feathers stuck
up starchy, his wishbone poked out
perky and gobbllng for room to show
his fancy steps, and he's n mighty i'm
pressiye fowl. But a small boy with
n rock and a good aim can make him
run a mile. When you see n fellow
swelling up and telling his firms Sc
crets. holler "Cash," and you'll STAN
pede him hack to his hall BEDROOM

Health is like any Inheritance; you
can spend the interest in work and
play, but you mustn't break into the
principal. Once you do and it's only a
matter of time before you've got to
place the remnants in the hands of q
doctor as receiver, and receivers are
mighty partial to fees and mighty
slow to let 90. But If you don't work
with him to get the business back on
a sound basis there's no such thing as
any further voluntary proceedings,
and the remnants become remains.
It's a mighty simple thing, though,
to keep in good condition, because
about everything that makes for poor
health has to get into you right under
your nose. Yet n fellow II load up
with pie and buckwheats for break
fast and go around wondering about
his stomach ache as if it were a put
up job that had been played on him
when he wasn't looking; or he'll go
through his dinner picking each
course in n different brand of alcohol
and sob out ON the buffers shoulder
that the booze isn't as pure as it used
to be when he was a boy; or he'll come
home at midnight singing The Old
Oaken Bucket" and act generally as
If all the water in the world were In
the well OF the old homestead and the
mortgage on that had beer foreclosed;
or from 8 p. III. to 3 &. X. he'll sit In q
small game with n large cigar, breath
ing a blend of light blue cigarette
smoke and dark blue cuss words, and
next day, when his heart beats foul
and skips two and he has hat queer
hopping sensation in the knees, he'll
complain bitterly to the other clerks
that this combining Office work is kill
ing him.
l might add that l don't like the effects
Of drinking any more than the after
effects, and for this reason you should
never hire men who drink during bust
ness hours. When a fellow adds up on
whisky he's apt to see too many fig
ures, and when he subtracts on beer
he's apt to see too few.
OF course, with all the care in the
world, Il fellows likely to catch things,
but there's no sense in sending out in
vitations to a lot of miscellaneous mi
crobes and pretending when they call
that it's a surprise party. Bad health
hates a man who is friendly with It's
enemies-hard work, plain food and
pure air. More men die from worry
than from overwork; more stuff them
selves to death than die of starvation;
more break their necks falling down
the cellar stairs than climbing u
tains. If the human animal reposed
less confidence in his stomach and
more In his legs the streets would be
full of healthy men walking down to
business. Remember that a man al
ways rides to his grave; he never
walks there.

No book has 1"ade for one thing (and 1t
is, after all, the least thing so many
other books as has that great volume OF
inspired revelation. The bible is a most
prolific producer Of literatures. 1t has
made them by the wholesale and is doing
so still. But what Is far more significant
for thought and life, there is no book
that makes such good books as the bible.
There is no such reading anywhere as in
the bible itself, and the best literatures
of the world today are those which have,
directly or indirectly, been inspired by,
or which quote in large, appreciative
measure from. the bible.
But while there is no volume In the
world which can begin to compare with
the scriptures, both as regards the guam
tity and the quality Of the literatures
which the book Of books has inspired, in
a lesser degree a few notable produce
tons of the centuries have also proved to
be bookmakers on a large scale. Au-
cuisines writings lave made much Of
modern thought and expression Augustin-
ian; Calvin has Calvinized much of the
teachings OF all the time since Calvin;
Shakespeare has set many a brain to
thinking on the problems of life and
probably also many a tongue wagging;
Milton has inspired the muse Of many a
lesser poet since. Every language has its
creative classics, which have given tone
and temper to a long series Of writings
succeeding them. A great book Is like a
banyan tree: sending out on every side
its lesser shoots, it's reduplicating stems.
The larger part Of the books current In
any one period are second class, third
class or fourth rate books, which are the
progeny Of the few really great works
Of the ages. 1t is we'll that 1t is so, for
the average reader, with only a limited
amount Of brain development, is capable

New York Observer: OF making many
books about books there is no end. AL
most as soon as anywhere there has APP
peared a literature on any subject the
commentators ave arisen to connote or
amend the work of their predecessors. A
Plato has his critical Aristotle, who builds
upon yet revises his philosophy; a Shake
speare is followed by an innumerable
train of Caconian or non-Baconian critics,
Emmanuel Rants great thoughts have
proved gerninal Of endless post-Kantian
PHILOSOPHERS. So 1T goes. Books make
books. libraries add to libraries, litera-
lures develop literature. Even when
books are burned -.-ey are not wholly
lost. An Alexandrian library may go up
in flames. but today there are thousands
Of Libraries greater In size and value than
the scorched or scattered tones of the
famous Egyptian book house.
The greatest bookmaker is the bible.

ICE SKATING.
Sometimes the Ice Is Too Hard TO

Sometimes the Ice Is Too Hard TO
Good Sport.
New York Press: A man who was do
ing some fancy figures on the ice in Cen
trail park during the last freeze remarked
to n party Of friends:
Il like to skate on a mild day like this.
Out west the-ice Is often go hard we
can't skate on It,"
There you go again. said one Of the
group. When you talk of the west there's
no believing YOU"
When his incredulous friends had kated
off the westerner said:
II suppose that statement has made me
appear to be a liar oftener than any state
ment 1 have ever made, and yet it Is true.
When the temperature hangs around 30
degrees below ZeZo for a week, as l ave
seen it in Dakota and Minnesota, the ice
becomes SO hard the skates won't take
hold, and in a sense 1t is like skating on
iron or stone.
Most people know little Of figure skat-
ing, being happy If they can skate
straight FORWARD or backward, and are
unaware of the Importance the tempera-
ture Is to a fancy skater. He will prefer
any day a temperature Of 20 to rs above
to zero or even 10 above. Tha principle Of
figure skating Is the inner and outer edge
of the blade. In all one-foot figures the
renewal of motion Is doae by changing
the edge. The sWaying OF the body and
the fling given to the foot off the ice are
elements in this change Of edge. 1t is
clear that when the ice is too hard the
blade will not sink deeply enough into the
ice to support the body's weight in the
making of turns.

brand as a lie, to the serious injury of my
reputation for veracity, also deals with
Ice and winter. The lake near my home

sudden change from rain to freezing. I

was a mile dong and three-quarters of a
mile wide. AS l was skating 1 cut
through one of the black objects. Exam
lining it 1 found it was a frog. Then !
saw that the sudden snap had caught the
frogs while they were migrating across
the lake, having been deceived by the
rain that had preceded the frost"

A
People Along Three Great Rivers Sup
piled With Inducements

Chicago Chronicle: A floating theatcr,
designed to supply the towns along tho
Ohio, Illinois and Mississippi rivers with
dramatic entertainments, has recently
been constructed and Is about to start
on it's journeyings. Its seating capacity Is
for 1000 people, and there are boxes for
the elite and a pit for the orchestra. hi
addition the vessel Is sufficiently large I'd
admit of numerous sleeping rooms for
the actors, the deck hands and all those
connected with either the show or tho
boat. The entire force numbers forty. On
the steamer which tows the floating theal
ter. besides the boilers and engines, there
is a complete electric light plant, besides
a kitchen and dining room. ,
In view OF the fact that the long waten
route Of the floating theater carries ID
into the warmer portions OF the south the
season for the show does not close until
late in the southern winter. The entird
route comprises $500 miles. The boat
starts at Pittsburg and visits the towns of
the coal miners n steelworkers along
the Mo%nongahela river. Next it returns
and goes down the Ohio to the Kanawha,
thence to Cairo, and later up the illinois
river to La Sale. Then. after going back
to the Mississippi, the boat slowly makes
Its way in the direction of New Orleans.
The idea of a floating theater is not ex-
dCllS new, out tne extensive scale upon
which 1t Is being conducted and the fact
that it Is the drama instead Of the vaude-
Vile program that is being presented at
tracts unusua attention. Faust is the
production which has been presented this
season.
Along the route of the floating theater
the towns are often but ten or fifteen
miles apart. Therefore the jumps Of the
boat and its company are not long ones.
On the HSDae dsoz N the steamer is a
calliope. Long befors the theater reaches
the town In which it Is to show the
sounds of this instrument may be heard.
The idle population Of the river towns at
once begins to assemble on the wharf
AS the steamer comes within a few hun
dred feet of the dock the calllope is ST.
fenced and a brass band strikes up a IA
miliar air. The crowd on the wharf then
grows larger. Many are there awaiting
the first opportunity to secure reserved
seats. When the boat touches the wharf
the sailors, some of whom are later trans.
formed into actors, make the vessel fas,
and put the gangplank In place. The
scenery is arranged and the orchestra re.
hearses while tho cook Is preparing the
next meal in the kitchen. The people
come aboard and select their seats, In,
stead of doing so from a diagram on shore
At night the theater is brilliantly lighted

over tho surrounding territory. The en-
tertainment lasts about three hours.

Inexpensive muslins, lawns and or

fabrics by this simple means. AS the

The d~eft-tirgered woman can obtain

An exquisite party gown recently
seen was worn by Il young girl, who
whispered into the ears of an admiring
friend that the costume cost less than
SIS. This statement was explained
said that she had decorated the cos
tune herself.
The dress was a soft white diapha-
nous affair, made Of organdy, and with
row after row of billoWy flOunces. The
entire gown was %sprinkled with violets,
single and in clusters. A soft white
ichu of lace hung in long loops In
front, and at the end Of each one was
suspended a bunch Of violets made Of
ribbon, and tied with violet louisine
silk bows. Violets were also painted
on the white kid slippers worn with
the gown, and three or four stray VIC
lets were painted on the white fan.
This effect was obtained by the use
Of violet dive. which was annlied with

Insurance and Suicide.

Springfield Republican,: Life insurance
companies continue to write suicide re-
strict.ons into their policies and the
courts continue, with considerable una
nimity, to pronounce them void. The Ohio
supreme court Is the latest to render such
a judgment, two companies being held
liable for the amount Of the policies in
the case Of a man who killed himself
within two months of taking out the in
surance, although the insurance contract
provided that suicide within that time
would invalidate the claim. One thing
would seem to be clear, that II any sui
eide clause is properly voidable this one
Of the two months restriction is: for the
insured person under this clause offers
particularly strong proof of insanity and
| absence of intent to defraud in showing
an inability 10 wait a few days longer, or
until the restriction Is removed, before
killing himself.

essary is to feed the fowls some cond,
ment or to feed heavily Of some egg-pro-
ducing food to obtain eggs galore. Nature
will not permit the hens to lay 6 after
that manner and all one can do Is to pro-
vide them with comfortable quarters and
a ration which gives them the proper
proportion Of muscle building, flesh build
ing and egg making materials. To over
feed of animal meal or Of any animal food
is as bad as overfeeding Of corn; then, dc
not expect that the hens are capable Of
producing any great additional number
Of eggs just because you give them more
of one kind Of food than another. Also
remember that the hens may be of the
100 eggs a veal kind and that you cannot
materially increase this quantity by any
plan of feeding. A new breed with a high
record will be necessary and this can be
obtained only by purchase or by obtain
ing n flock with a fair record and building
1T up by careful selection year after year.
This plan will work if you go at 1t intel
