Should Wives be Eelf-Bupporting2
American Romen are ceasing to
ad men to marry them unless they
ass self-supporting. This is the
steftling deduction made by the
United States burean of labor in
its last report The marriage rate
among women who work and wom-
len with money is much higher
than among women who are neith.

proportion is annually increasing.

working women have equal oppor-
tnnities. but the women who must
depend on servants to do house.

10 slppLp all the household income
are being driven from the matrimo-
nial field. Fewer than one half of
them marry now and the percent
age is steadily diminishing.
Nine per cent of the married wo-
men of the United States work for
wages apart from the performance
of their household duties. Twenty
three per cent add to the house,

More than one family in FIVE has

20 percent of the earnings of the
average American family comes
from the labor of the wife and the
children.
The old type of American who
supported by his own earnings his
wife and children, whose home
was his own and who occupied an
independent place in the commu-
nifty, is disappearing. Marriage is
becoming more and more a com
meroial partnership where the man
and the wife pool their earnings,
or a fashionable festivity where,

WE BOW TO THE PRESIDENTS
JACKAss.

President Roosevelt has return
ed from a bear hunt which ex-
tended from Texas to Colorado.
The people all along the line call
ed him Teddy and he wore boots
and rode a mule and did many
things just like the Car of Russ
Ia don't do them. A nation is
like an individual. As long as
this nation is prosperous and
there is nothing doing in the gov
ernment line we would like any
body that happened to hold the
: Job of President. We would
swear that he was as wise as Sol
omon, as meek as Moses and as
democratic as Diogones. Even
the Iroquoes Club the democrat
ie Organization of ehioagosis go
ing to give Roosevelt a dinner
Six hundred and forty guests,
nearly all Democrats, are invited
and the plates will cost $40 90 a
piece and and the President is to
make a great speech. Nobody
now can tell whether the Presi-
dent likes the Democrats or Re-
publicans the better. And no.
body knows whether the Demo-
Gratis or Republicans like him the
better. Why sis we are as abso-
lutely polite to Mr.. Roosevelt as
the Hindoo jester profefessed to
be to old Loord Give, when the
Nabob of Lucknow accused him
of speaking fippantly of this

Colonel.v said he, 81, who never
get up in the morning without
making three low bows to his
iaekasclp' Just as long as this
nation feels good it will make
three low bows to the Presidents
jackass. The man who feels good
can love almost anybody. But
you let that same man stay out
and play poker till five a. m. and
go homh busted, with his liver
grown fast to his fifth rib, and a |
taste in his mouth that would |
cause a carrion crow to reich in
sheer disgust, and he will even
abuse the wife of his bosom. And
SO it is with nation. Today we
might bow to the Presidents

the angel Gabriel might not be
able to rule US in peace.-Park-

The Wind of Death.

It is rather a remarkable fact
that the great cyclones or lorna
does which have wrought suoh de
vastatiou in Kansas, Oklahoma
and Texas during the past few
days should have all swooped down
upon their helpless victims while
they were fast asleep in their beds
at home, without thought of dan
ger much less of sudden death in
one of its most awful forms. It
was midnight when the prosperous
town of Marquette, Kansas, was
uprooted from the face of the prai
rie. and long before daylight when
Snyder, Okla, and the surround
ing country felt the unmeroiful
blast, while at Lawrence, Kansas,
it was half past ten at night. There
is no information as to the condi
'tion of the weather on the days
preceding these oalsmities, but all
the Indications are that the temp
erature was high. with very low
barometer, since the wind was ao-
oompanied by both rain and hail
AS for remedy against these awful
visitations, there is absolutely
none. No plan has ever been de-
vised, and never will be, whereby
the safety of human life and prop
erty can be ensured for moment
With all our science and skill We
must forever remain powerIess in
the face of these warning elements
and the only thing to do is to tsust
to blind chance, for not even the
Cyclone cellars are of avail unless
people dwell in them continuously.

A Hens Long Fast.

R Fl. Winslow, conductor on
the suburban trolley line, would
like to know how long a hen can
live without food and drink. For
more than a week his nice. big. fat
hen had been missing. He thought
the fowl might have strayed into
somebody else's roasting pan and
thus ended its career. But the
other day his boy was in the oeller
and happened to kick over basket
and found the ben inside alive. but
quite weak from it's long confine-
ment. "Rop thinks ths hen
must have jumped into the base
ment from the cellar window. and,
alighting on the rim of the basket
was overturned with the hen be-
meath. 1t was there ten or twelve
days.-Punxsutawney (Pa } News

Watch the Hands.

Don't undervalue the appear
ance of the hands. A beautiful
hand may be even more fascina-
ting than a beautiful face.
Don't neglect massaging the
ends of the fingers now and then
This will do good deal toward
making the fingers taper.
Don't wear gloves every night,
or the hands will become yellow.
Occasional use of gloves, howev-
er, is advisable.
Don't dry the hands carelessly
after washing; use soft damask
towel or silk handkerchief and
dry throughly.
Don't wear bracelets tight to
affect the circulation or SO that
they rub on the joints of the
wrist
Don't wear gloves that are g
size too small; this prevents cir
culat1on and makes the hands
red.
Don't forget that warm fee
have much to do with white
hands. When the feet are habi
tually cold the hands are always
red or blue.

Will a Nail in a Tree Trunk Move
Upward?

Few people realize that the
growth of trees upward is all in
the tip end of its branches, not
the trunk. This is what L. A.
Goodman, the horticulturist, says:
"The fact that the trunk of a
tree does not grow upward has
been demonstrated a thousand
time. 1 have in my yard two
trees into which we put hooks
upon which to swing a ham,
mock. The hooks have been
grown over as the tree widened
in its developments but the hooks
have not moved upwards the
of an inch. The trInk
of a tree widens but it does not
move upward. You can tell the
age of tree by the layers of
growth, there being a layer for
each year of its growth, but if
anyone tells you that you can
drive a nail in the trunk ola tree
and that it will move upward,
don't you believe him. 1t Is not
the law of nature."'

s5, 900 For Old walking Stick.


Five thousand dollars for a walk
ing stick may seem extravagaut,
but that is what John W. Gates
the millionaire, has paid for one,
which has been in possession of
Miss Lila Gates. of Tyrone, Pa.
for many years.
The cane was given to Miss
Gates father by the proprietor OF
the Bingham House, Philadelphia,
90 years ago. It contains sword,
on which is engraved a mans head
and face.
Miss Gates valued the cane at
81 900, but MI. Gates thought it
worth much larger sum. and has
sent her draft for 5000.
1t is understood the cane will be-
come the property of one of Mr..
Gates European friends.

10000 Men willing.

The announcement made about
two months ago that there were
120 young women who drew home
.steads ON the Rosebud Indian rs
servation in South Dakota, and
are eligible for matrimony. has
caused applications to be msde
from about 10000 men of all ages
and from every state in the Union.
A letter from Bones eel says that
in view of this fact these 120 wo-
men have formed mutual pro-
teotive society. The man who
marries into the society must fret
show that he is able to work farm
and must put in a whole season at
plowing. Sc wing and harvesting.
After he does all this the appli-
cant may be rejected if he does not
please the owner of the homestead.
