divorces granted in this country and
then spoke on "the model husband. ."
His text was Colossians 8. 49, "Hus-

THE model husband is one who thinks
more OF his wife than he does OF him
self or any one in the world.
THE successful business men keeps
close watch on contracts TO see that
they are fulfilled. Husbands. how long Is
II since you have looked at your marriage
contract?
Many a man, without appreciation OF
the beautiful flower he has taken unto
himself. becomes careless and negligent.
A model husband is a man OF good mem
ory He remembers the Introduction that
set his heart fiutterlng. He remembers
the walks together before marriage.
Therefore he does not get half square
AHEAD and then bawl out; Susan Jane,
for heavens sake, why don't you hurry
up?'
my model husband doesn't walt until
his wife dies TO give flowers. A single
rose, perfumed with love In life, is worth
more than dozen wreaths on the casket

when you so home put your arms
around your wife and tell her how
sweet and beautiful she Is. 1t may be
stretching the truth. but God will for

Remember how blind you were 10 her
faults before marriage. II you have dis

NO SKIRTS
OR CURLS
FOR GRACE

New York. Sept. 13-Dear Papa-When
YOU get this will be away from Newark.
I have gone to accept a position which
secured through a newspaper advertise
ment. will write before long and let
you know how am getting along. Give
my love to all Your loving daughter.
GRACE.
Such is the letter which Miss Grace
easier left when she ran away from
home, No SO Wilsey street, Newark, Sat
urday night. She is 16 years old, very
pretty and as full OF romance as most
women OF her age and ripe experience.
Her father, Charles easier cannot even
guess what position" the young scape-
grace secured" For TO fill II properly
She found II necessary to cut of her soft.
brown curls and 10 dress herself In boys
clothes before she left the paternal roof
by way OF the back fence.
But Mr.. easier strongly suspects that
Miss Grace who pants for the romantic,
as one might say, has gone as esquire TO
young knight OF whom she was greatly
enamored.
Miss Grace is very fond OF reading
about those days OF old when monarchs
held their sway, when II was quite the
improper thing for girl TO leave her
papa's castle and ruffle II In boot and hose
with the sir knight who had won her
youthful affections.
Mrs. easier went shopping Saturday
night, and Miss Grace was alone at home
until the neighbors saw Sir Launcelot
enter the house carrying very unro-
mantle bundle Soon Sir Launcelot
took his departure. and soon again the
neighbors saw a slim but agile youth
climb the back fence as never a girl
hampered by skirts could.
Mrs. easier returned 10 find all the
feminine clothing Miss Grace wore be-
fore her transformation heaped on her
bed and every other piece OF her ward
robe was in it's accustomed place In cup
board or bureau.
But. even more convincing, Miss Grace's
silky ringlets lay. shining mass. on n
chair In her bedroom, and by them the
scissors with which she had despoiled her
shapely head.

JAPANESE
CONSUL HAS
PROTESTED

Washington. Sept lS-The expected pro-
test OF Japan against allowing the Rus
sian auxiliary cruiser Lena, which ar
rived at San Francisco Sunday TO remain
longer than "a hours came today. when
the Japanese Consul In that city, through
the Collector OF Customs. made formal
demand that the vessel be required TO
leave at the end OF that time.
The Collectors telegram officially no
ufying the authorities OF the arrival OF
the Lena and OF Japans protest, was
addressed to the Secretary OF the Treas
ury. who at once sent copies TO Acting
Secretary OF State Adee and Acting
Secretary Murray OF the Department OF
Commerce and Labor. who has direct
jurisdiction In the matter. The tele-
gram reads as follows:
japanese consul has made demand
upon me that Russian auxiliary cruiser
leave within "A hours. The captain re.
ports that he has entered for repair OF
engines and boilers. principally the lat
ter. l am requesting the inspector or
Hulls and Boilers TO make an examina-
tion OF vessels machinery with the con-
sent OF the Russian Consul and the COM
mander OF the Lena.
Can find no authority in the law OF
regulations for the Collector assuming
any authority In the promises and re-
guest instructions"
IAfter n conference with the COUrls-
sioner OF Navigation Acting Secretary
Murray sent the following dispatch TO
the Collector.
Your telegram addressed 20 Secretary
OF the Treasury concerning Russian
steamship Lena received at 4:40 p m.
You should have addressed this depart
ment as directed In circular 20.

sumo OF steamboat inspectors report, and
II repairs are necessary the probable time
required TO complete them. On receipt
OF particulars the department will In
struct you further. See circular 20. end
OF page and all OF page 8"
The circular referred TO was issued on
Feb. 13 OF the present year, Immediately
after hosilities between Russia and Japan
commenced. and besides containing the
presidents proclamation and the provls-
ions OF the statutes relating 10 neutrality
gave instructions 10 collectors That
should any case arise requiring official
action you will communicate the facts 10
the department by telegraph"
The collectors telegram came after Of
fee hours and the officials were some
what puzzled that there should have been
so much delay In sending it. There was
a good deal OF reucence on the subject
on the part OF the officials OF the depart
ment of commssce and labor and OF the
bureau OF navigation, who preferred to
await the report OF the steamboat inspec-
tor before making any statement.

My little baby boy fifteen months old

and no sooner had he got over these than
he began TO cut teeth and. being so weak

"I decided n change might help so

When we got there he was so very weak
when he would cry he would sink away
and seemed like he would die.
When | reached my sisters home she

Grape Nuts and although 1 had never
used the food we got some and for few
days gave him just the Juice OF Grape
Nuts and milk. He got stronger so
quickly we were soon feeding him the
Grape Nuts itself and I'm a wonderfully

THAT showed me something worth

SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT.

Another amendment pending before this
general assembly and It's immediate pre-
decessors confers upon registry voters
the right TO vote In the election OF city
councils. In other states of the Union
no such limitation OF the suffrage exists.
III Is unjust and wholly unnecessary. In
the five cities OF the state the total num-
toer OF property voters last year which
is approximately correct for this wear
was 2i,l05 the total number OF city regis
stry voters now upon the lists is S3. 0gs.
IL therefore appears that three ffths OF
tail the voters I'm the cities are denied
the right To vote for those officials who
iare nearest 10 them and possess the most
power over their daily lives
IL goes without the saying that with n
very few exceptions these $1,000 half
voters desire TO become fully enfran-
chised citizens. It Is their right To have
this question so vital 20 them. passed

you as officials disposed 10 subordinate

no appeal.
The primary object Of this session Is 20
enable this general assembly, at this
1uncture, 10 review again and 20 deter
mine finally whether Il will or Will not at
the coming November election submit TO
the people certain proposed amendments
20 the constitution In which they are vi
tally interested.
Both parties in the state--the Republi-
can party in particular-ere committed

INITIATIVE AMENDMENT.

The amendment known as the "Consti-
tutional Initiative" provides that 500
voters OF the state may. by petition. pro-
pose a specific and particular amendment
20 the constitution. and have that amend
ment submitted by the secretary OF state
10 the vote OF the qualified electors at the
general election next succeeding.
For the choice OF elective officers we
now have the initiative and referendum
the Initiative In the primary meeting and
the referendum In the subsequent cleo
ton. For constitutional amendments
there also exists the popular referendum
but not the popular initiative. The pur-
pose OF the pending amendment is 10 give
20 the people that control over measures
which they already have over men.
For this proposed amendment petitions
representing many thousands voters have
been presented TO the general assembly
and 20 preceding general assemblies For
its passage a strong and widespread pub
lie sentiment exists. including not only
