FOR HAPPY MARRIED LIFE.
Effie Shannon Lays Down Rules Worth
Consideration.

Miss Eftie Shannon has supplied
thirteen rules for the man who in.
luired how he could be happy, though
married, or, in other words, what he
was to do to gain and hold the love
of his wife. Miss Shannons expe.
rience with unhappy marriages--on
The stage--is wide, and likely she
could formulate twenty-six rules quite
as well as thirteen, but she stopped
at the odd number. Here they ere:
J.. be considerate of her in small
things. Small things make up wo-
mans life.
2. Remember always that every
where in the animal kingdom kind and
not sex makes difference in brain.
3. Need her and let her know it.
Women understand best that it is
more blessed to give than to receive.
4. Let her feel before, and partic-
ularly after, marriage, that she IS
more important than your business.
You wouldn't care to be supplanted in
her thoughts by constant musing over
that $3.l7 that slipped through her
hands yesterday
S. Before marriage kiss her as
though she were your wife afterward
kiss her as though she were your
sweetheart.
6. Never abuse her confidence Her
faith in you is capital which you will
have to invest many times.
Z. Compel her respect. Respect is
the mother and admiration the father
Of love-
8. Take an interest in her affairs.
You would be hurt if she took no in.
terest in yours.
8. Devote at least a quarter OF the
thought to entertaining her during
lifetime that you would devote to en-.
tertaining her pretty sister half an
hour.
TO- Don't mag. Men nag as much
as women, and vaccination, the slow
scraping away Of the skin, pains more
than the quick incision of the sur.
geon's knife
II. Remember that she is the bet.
ter half Of yourself, and ito thine own
self be true"
-. Be generous, not lavish. When
she is your wife she is your partner.
Never compel her to ask for money.
A woman feels dependence as much as
a man would.
13. l have devoted as much atten.
ton to the subject of winning the wo-
man you have wor as to winning the
woman you haven't. 1t is more i'm
portant to keep the love of your wife
than to create love in the object OF
your attentions. Eternal vigilance is
the price of eternal affection. Never
say to yourself, 1--WE caught the car"
You may fall of.

Advertisement That Stirred the WRATH

The apartment houses on Thir

MOL to-day, says the Denver Lost,
and it is all because OF red ants. For
some time the presence Of the ants
has been noticed in various Of the
tenements, and as their number IN
creased and the efforts to suppress
them became more strenuous and less
effectual dire threats of what would
be done have become frequent.
The climax was reached when the
head Of one Of the families iscovcr-
ed bedraggled red object in his
soup, and he then and there said that
the plague would end that the To-
Gusts Of Egypt were as nothing to
these modern creatures of the pantry,
and that he thought he could settle
them. So the following advertisement
was inserted in a newspaper: Ten
thousand ants for sale. Five cents
per thousand Call at 1929 Stout
street."
So people began to call, and they
found Mrs. Mary Bruner very wroth
about it.
''They didn't come to buy any ants,

Questions Raised by Armed conflic

When men defend the principle of
war between nations or peoples they
are very apt to assert that questions
now and then arise that can be settled
only by the test OF physical force
There may be such questions, but are
they ever the most fundamental to So
ciety and are the most fundamental
ever really settled by the sword?
Clearly, the great trouble with war
is that even when it does settle some
questions. such as political supremacy
or political autonomy or territorial
possession or control OF trade routes,
it almost invariably raises up other
questions quite as harassing, perhaps.
