THE AMERICAN HUSBAND.
He Is One of the Most Satisfactory of
Our Products.

So many good things come from
America nowadays that one hardly ex-
periences a shock on learning that
America is also claiming to produce
husbands which are almost ideal. The
American middle class husband is as
perfect as it is possible for any man
to be. He has only one failing-he
does not put by money in advance to
provide for the ffhappy home" When
he marries it is usually on short no
tice, and because he has fallen very
desperately in love with some one
and cannot find it in his heart to wait
until cold caution declares the venture
advisable Even when an engagement
is a long one he usually squanders SO
much on gifts and entertainments for
his fiancee that there is only a very
moderate amount to begin housekeep-
ing on.
But this is only an early evidence
of his chief national Characteristic as
a husband-his unfailing, unselfish
and almost imprOvident generosity He
is liberal to the point of extravaganza
in his money relations with his wife
The young American husband expects
to provide well and literally for his
household. He is also very indulgent
to his wife's fondness for fine
clothes. and although he grum-
bles occasionally at milli-
merry bill, in reality he glories in the
resplendent appearance of his wife in
sacrifice that his pride might be min
istered to in this one particular
A true American husband who has
been out late always takes of his
shoes at the front door and undresses
in the dark. OF course, he frequently
lapses from this path when matri-
mony has become an older joy, but, as
a rule, he is extremely devoted to his
home. and shows very little desire for
pleasures outside Of it Indeed the
fault which American wives very fire.
ouently find in their husbands is that
/ they are too fond of their homes In
many households the husband is I'M
willing to sacrifice his desire for an
evening at his own fireside to take his
wife abroad in search of pleasure

GARBAGE FRANCHISE EXPIRES
Topeka Company Failed to Take Adj
vantage of the Ordinance.

On June l, the time limit on the
contract between the city and the pro-
posed Garbage Reduction company
expired, and the deal for the handling
of the garbage problem in this city
is in the air The people upon whom
the promoters of the garbage COM
pany were counting to give financial
support to the enterprise failed to
come UP with the money, and the
elaborate scheme which the company
had for the collection and reduction
of garbage has collapsed
Recently the company has been
making strenuous efforts to get some
thing in tangible shape before the ex-
piratiOu of the time limit The con-
tract required that work on the plant
be commenced by June 1. A few days
ago, the company had new man
here looking over the field with view
to putting in some entirely different
system than what was originally con-
sidered- Some sort of a deal is pend
ing with this person at present, and
there are some members of the cOun-
ell who have expressed their willing
ness to grant a renewal of the con-
tract to the company if it comes for
ward with a proposition which can
be carried out But it is stated by
officers of the company that no ap-
plication for an extension of time or
anything else will come before the
council this evening.

MIR. FOSTERS NEW SCHEME.
His Outline Maps VIII Be Taken to
the St. Louis Fair.


Eli G. Foster, principal of Harrison
school, has prepared a series of OUT
line maps of the United States which
bid fair to make an innovation in
geographical history He has on dis
play in the window of Halls book
store today a set of forty maps made
by his pupils in Harrison school.
These maps will with three other sets
be sent to the Worlds fair to be
placed on exhibition. The idea which
Mr.. Foster prOmulgates is a new one.
From the first settlement of the coun-
try up to the present date the eVolu-
ton of each state and territory is
marked outlined and delineated in
colorS and type. To merely look over
the outline the impression would at
once be received that it would take
years of hard work to be able to cor
rectly fill it in. The remarkable thing
therefore is that the children in the
seventh and eighth grades at Harri-
son school have been given the work
right along with their studies in his
tory, and the results were of such an
excellent nature that the state text
book commission gave it immediate
and unanimous approval and Superin-
tendent of Schools L. D. Whittemore
has taken steps with regard to it's in
PRODUCTION into the schools in Topeka.
Mr. Foster is preparing consider
able explanatory reading matter. He
intends to print several thousand
copies of the "flled-in'' set for library
use and there is little question but
such a book would be a valuable ad-
junct to any library.
Mr.. Foster has produced a number
of other historical compilations, and
these with his last work are stamping
him as one of the strong students OF
history in the west.
