Nelly's letter (of May p, is the
most striking of all that I have read
yet. l don't think anything could
grleve a man more than a careless
natured woman with a Grabbed, i'll,
snappish, and selfish disposition.
Please come again, cousin Nellie.
If every father and mother could
realize his or her duty toward chill
dren as Sincere sees it, I think the
children's lives would make the world
much brighter. And I am sure faith
ers and mothers would enjoy life
more.
l know by experience that Puella
is right about habits. So let's all
be more careful about our habits.
and leave off the bad ones while in
the days of youth, for it will be too
late when they have grown up with
us. We should not wait till a tree
is grown to begin pruning it.
L agree with Mrs. S. E. NJ, about
giving us the praise due us while
We live. but / can't endorse what she
says about tombstones, for / think
1T we'll for every grave to be marked,
so anybody can tell who is buried
therein. And I know of no better
way fmarking than to set tomb
stone at their head.
/ also agree with Jack Klinard
about woman's neatness, for there
is nothing that I dislike more than
a woman who combs her hair but
once Or twice a week, and "drags
around in loose dresses. the skirts
of which resemble a coal pit"

Why a Wife Is Cross.
Wake Co., N. @.

Dear Aunt Jennie How nice
the cousins letters are, and how
pleasant it is to read them each
week, as they come out printed in
The Progressive Farmer! The pa
per is very interesting and we all
look forward to it's coming with the
anticipation of reading the nice let
ters and many other good things.
Yes, Nellie's letter is very good; !;
but she did not seem to find. single
fault with the husband whose cold,
insincere and grabbed words and
ways in his home circle often cause
the wife and little ones to wish
themselves out of existence, and
makes the wife scold and be cross.
If he would show for her the same
respect and love he did years ago be-
fore they were married, home would
be so infinitely more pleasant for
her. Then he could not be in her
company enough. Now he has her
tied by the "apron sring." She is
not too good to be pulled and driven
about any way. Woman marries a
man for a companion and not to
serve as a taskmaster.
After the tolls of the day it is
pleasant to have husband sit by the
fire side and have a pleasant CONVEX
sation until time to retire. But,
alas! where is he? Standing around
talking with his friend (man) or
sitting around some store or depot
until late hours, and his wife home
with the little ones alone.
God pity the woman who is un-
fortunate enough to be- tied to such
a man. SNOW BlRD.

Young Spunk's Comments.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I have de-
clded to call on the Cousins again.
As have no special subject to write
on, | wish to say few words in re-
ply to what the other Cousins have
said.
L agree with r. D. Vandiford
about speaking when we have an op-
Portunity, for the first may be the
last. So let's accept the first oportu-
HitV. especially if it will add sun
shine to gloomy soul.

"When Thou Makest a Feast" -"

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I will write
you another letter, rather of a re-
buking nature. The wise man says
that "open rebuke is better than Sc
cret love-" This time I will cite you
to the 94th Psalm and the 10th verse:
"Who will rise up for me against the
evildoers 2"
Now, Aunt Jennie, the customs of
the people in the last three genera
tions has become, / think, an abomi-
nation in the eyes of the Giver of
all good. And if we don't rise up
one and all of us-l mean all Chris
tians-the vices will in short while
drown out all good. I refer to the
fashions for one of the evils of to-
day. The members of all of the diff
ferent denominations are led by the
styles of the world The Savior of
sinners tells His women people how
Christians should dress, but alas |!
all have gone over on the other side
and you can't tell one from the 9TH
er. either by dress Or actions.
And they make big dinners and
big everything, and invite big people
to come and feast. But the common
people-actions speaking louder than
words-are invited to stay at home
and eat and drink such things as
poor folks can get. If these are
Christian marks, / don't understand
Gods Book. I want every one of
these feast makers to read the 18th
chapter of Luke, and judge for them
selves.
I am touching on these evils very
lightly for fear they will call me by
a hard name. If I were a preacher
in charge of congregation, I should
have members that had Christian
marks or / would pronounce the
church vacant. Now if this will do
any good, I will come down heavier
next time.

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

This week / have the pleasure of
Introducing Snow Bird to the circle.
Now it does not often happen that
we can know the theme of birds
song, but this one has. a lay calculat-
ed to benefit wives if the husbands
will read and remember it. 1t pur-
ports to have been written by a man,
but we are just little afraid that
if a man, then bachelor. / am glad
that some one does take our part
in this discussion; but no one has
alluded to the untidy habits of some
husbands, or the habitual use of to-
bacco-and sometimes even LIQUOR
indulged in by them. 1 know that
woman has her tasks to perform; !;
faithfully. / know that men are less
ant to hold and cherish a grudge
against fellow being. / know that
men talk less, and few of them tat
tie. but / know that men can make
home happy or miserable. l know
too that women can do the same
thing. Therefore it behooves us
when fitting a yoke to be worn al
ways by two people to be sure that
they are congenial companions, and
that they are as able and capable of
pulling up hill as they are of run
ming down hill together. Obi I fan
cy that some one says: owe did not
fasten the yoke; it was of their own
choosing, and if it gals their young
necks we can't help it." Well, / am
sOrrv, but young people sometimes
conclude that they know more than
their elders; and then there seems
to be no other alternative but to
loosen your hold and let them see
which is right. / am reminded of a
pair of young oxen my father had
broken on his farm when / was a
child. They were beauties, Just the
same age and very much alike until
the yoke was adjusted, then "Buck"
was ready to run, but 'Bob" wanted
to lie down and rest. Now we all
know that one could not do all the
pulling when there was double yoke
and one end of it fastened to the
neck of a beast that sulked and re-
fused to go, unless the willing one
had added to his already heavy bur-
den the dead weight of the other !;
and then the best kind of a yoke
will wear the neck of the willing
worker raw.
All, Mr.. Hays are we not told that
'Bv their fruits ye shall know them"
and is it not true to-day as it was
when first spoken?
We are delighted to have a letter
from one who signs herself GA Read
er." We remember her nice letters,
and this one is like her-sensible.
Let us hear from you often. Your
cure for love is excellent.
Young Sponk's letter is chatty.
He is an attentive listener and is
learning to talk Interestingly.

ing to US use only one side of the
paper. Number your pages; and

Bank Clerk Who Was CHARGED With
Taking Money From His En-
ployer Does Not Stand Trial.
SENTENCED FOR THREE YEARS
Court Insisted That His lmpriSOn-
ment Should Cover Same Period
of Time As His PeCulatiOnS.

Realizing that the evidences of his
crime were too strong to be success
fully refuted and believing that he
would perhaps come off better by
throwing himself on the mercy of the
court than if he attempted to contest
the case, Errett l.. Smith, for ten
years past trusted employe of the
Bank of Fergus County last Satur-
day morning went with his attorney
Harry H. Boggs, before Judge Chea
die and entered a plea of guilty to the
charge of embezzeling funds belong
ing to the Bank of Fergus County ana
was sentenced to Imprisonment in the
state penitentiary for term Of three
years.
A number of people We're in the
judges chamber when the young man
was brought in. He looked in better
spirits, if there was any change at all,
than he did before his troubles became
public. He turned slightly pale when
the sentence was pronounced Dut Otl-
erWise his composure was much great
er than most people would show un-
der similar trying circumstances. In
pronouncing the sentence the court
said that inasmuch as the period over
which the accused mans peculations
had extended was about two and a
half years, it was nothing but just
that he be compelled to serve at least
that much time in prison. By good
behavior he could reduce his three
year sentence to two and half years.
Smiths action in pleading guilty was
not any great surprise to many people
as it was the general opinion that he
would not try to fight the case. Some
thought that the case might be settled
as it was known that very strong in
fluence was brought upon the bank
and the county attorney in that direc-
ton. but neither the officials of the
bank nor the county officer felt that
the circumstances justified the conces-
sions. The young man will be taken
to Deer Lodge tomorrow or the next
day to begin his period of imprison-
ment.
