FOR HUSBANDS ONLY.

The money maker of the fami-
ly has his own Troublesome one
ever doubted that-but the
housekeeper has a few, too, and
it would not be out of place to
give her a little consideration.
The man of the house, therefore,
might paste these suggestions in
his hat, if he does not consider
them impertinent.
Assume cheerfulness even
though you do not feel it on COM
ing home in the evening.
Greet your wife with smile,
instead of an inpatient inquiry
as to whenawill dinner be ready.
Do not complain any more
than is absolutely necessary
about the toughness of the beef
nor the comparative inferiority
of the bread.
Do not tell your wife that you
cannot imagine what she does
with all the money she has to
spend.
Do not ask her what she
did with the 81 you gave her last
month before you respond to her
for two-bits to send out and get
some butter.
Do not tell her at once that
you saw the prettiest woman you
have seen for long time in town
that day; it will hurt her feel,
ings.
Do not tell her she does moi
know how to handle the servants,
or they would do better.
Do not say that the chill
dren are the worst behaved you
ever saw.

Took Boys Suggestion.

A travelling man relates that
while riding on the new orient
line between Harper and An
thony few days ago, one of the
side rods of the engine broke,
and the other side stopped on u
"dead CENTER" so that when the
repair was made it was impossi-
BILE to start again. According to
the Kansas City Star he says:
"The engineer, the conductor
and all the passengers took turns
going over the thing and trying
to devise a way to make it run.
Finally boy came out of the
field where he had been blowing
to see what was going on. He
crawled through the wire fence
and sat down on the bank and
famed himself with his straw
hat. IF you'd back that last car
up the grade an let Ter come
down gerchunk, that 'ud start
'er,' he finally suggested, delib-
erately.
"The railroad men shifted con-
temptuously, but the passengers
sided with the boy. Finally the
conductor gave orders that the
rear car be uncoupled. No less
than so passengers caught hold
and pushed the car up the grade.
Once at the top the car was let
go. The loose coach gained mo-
mentum as it came down hill,
and in spite of the engineers ad-
monition to 'let her come down
easy the emergency battering
ram crashed into the train with
a tremendous thump. The en-
CINE was bumped off center all
right"

alleged medicinal virtue of the
miracle stone. Analysis has
been made of several specimens
and all have been found to re-
veal a considerable amount of
radio-activity. The discovery of
the marvels of radium causes re-
Elective persons to pause before
they condemn the Northern min
ers for their faith in an insen-
safe rock.
Some pieces of the miracle
stone possess in a high degree
the quality of emitting a bril-
liant light when rubbed with q
metel substance, or even when
scratched by the finger nail.
The light becomes more intense
when under water.
If Prof. Curie or Prof. Ramsey
or their successors can find out
the true inward secrets Of this
substance, the day may come
when we shall carry around bits
of radioactive rock in our gar
ments, and give the laugh to the
physicians and the drug store

on my tramp, and of course |
wanted to sympathize with him
and | urged him to marry again
but he seemed to be afraid of
taking that kind of a step on ac-
count of his children. He had
wrote me to get him an aged
lady as house-keeper, but | just
couldn't do it, although | tried.
SO when | met him said, Tom,
marry, you are young. He shook
his head. | said no more. |
know there are many sad and
lonely hearts everywhere, but
there is sunshine and JOY for
such hearts. In and among my
relatives there are several step
mothers, (no better mothers ever
drew the breath of life than they
are, that are just as good to
their step children as their own
mothers were, and the children
told me they loved them. Well,
none of the connection ever
NEEDLES or pokes their nose in
the way. Most step mothers
have a time, but in our family
a step mother is loved and re-
spected. And not one of them
has ever had any harder time
with their step children than
their own. | despise meddlesome
people, and these meddlesome
connections always spoil things
never new it to fail. For the
sake of our noble step-mothers
and the happiness Of the child
rem don't NEEDLE. Beinga step
mother is no dishonor or disgrace.
Now make of them your friends
for new friends are like silver
while old are like gold. Don't
fill the child's heart with terror.
Don't still it's song. Don't tell
it that it is being wronged,
but tell it 10 love mother and
never seek to break its spirit
but teach it obedience to mother.
Let it lean upon her knee without
fear, let it kiss her cheek while
her dear, loving arms fondly en-
brace the little one. Mothers
never fret when a little one clings
to their gown or scold very much
about the little ones wet muddy
feet as they patter over the floor.
Mothers, though step are the best
beings on earth and they often
kiss the golden curly head and
think of it's mother that is dead.
All, we do them wrong, wrong!
| don't know why | am such a
strong friend to stepmother or
why am so ready to take their
part but | do say that some OF
the best women | know are step
mothers and have proved them
selves a blessing in their homes.
People who are so ready to tare
them into doll rags, we do not
consider them worth a banbee,
but an enemy to the children
who they claim to be the friend
of, and should let other folks
alone and not NEEDLE. Every
father can do better if not med
died with by his kinfolks fol
they usually do more harm than
good when they begin to NEEDLE,
We have many such meddlers
and no one seems to object but
Uncle Tom. Quit it and paddle
your own canoe and let brother
Jake do the same. UNCLE Tom.

Before you arise in the morn
ing, repeat within the secret
chamber of your soul these words:
In the name of the infinite Spir-
it, | declare that l shall always
think peacefully, speak peace
fully, and act peacefully Be-
fore you go to sleep at night re-
peat the following: Il love
everybody, and ask everybody to
love me. l forgive everybody
for what they might have done
against me, and ask everybody
to forgive me for what l might
have done against them "

Mans Duty.

To live his life in patience,
