THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The Influence of a
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Oyerestimated.

Seven-eighths of the
men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful in their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire ad,nira-
ton, respect and love.
There is u beauty in
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition; because of
them even thrones have
been established and de-
stroyed.
What a disappointment,
! then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her head! A sickly. half
dead-and-alive woman,
especially when she is
the mother of a family,
, is a damper to all joyous
ness in the home. and a
F.! drag upon her husband.

Another reason for uneasiness at
school may Ee summed up in single
word-clothes. School girls should
dress very simply. | am not sure that
q uniform would not he good solu-
ton of some school problems; just a
blouse and a skirt with gymnasium
! shoes and cap. There ought to be no
great difference in the dress Of girls

mother has fads. or is eccentric, and
sends her little daughter to school
dressed in an odd or conspicuous fash

position.
Sometimes girls poverty inter-
feres with her comfort. She cannot
dress as well as others do. and at GER
tain times. commencement for in

to the rest or stay away from the pub

Girls are apt to be over dressed at

of the banker may go to her gradua-

Side by side with her in class may
be the bright little daughter of clerk

The pride and ambition of the latter
will deprive his home of necessaries,
and saddle him with debt but his Flor

gene. and the one shall be dressed as
eXpensively as the other. | have
known school girls to forego the grad
uating honors because their parents
could not compete with others in the
dress that custom has enjoined. A
diploma costs too much for scanty

The question of dress should never

WORSE THAN GRATING.

Politics is productive of many
evils, and grating does not appear
to be the worst. There are to be
found in many places men in power
who prostitute their offices for pur-
poses of revenge, or to secure politi-
cal prestige by running Others.
The other day up in Milwaukee a
grand jury indicted one of the most
prominent men there for misappro-
priatiug $4,000. This man has al
ways been q leader in civic progress,
and has given away thousands OF
dollars for public purposes. Four
teen thousand dollars is mere baga-
telle to him, yet he is held up to the
eighty millions of people in this
country as common tlief. and en-
bezzler of this paltry amount.
AMI on what evidence?
Members of the grand jury them
so.ges ADMIT tina. ;isis was no e..
dence. 1t is said that "he was in
dicted merely because he was sus-
pected OF having made illegal use of
money, and by means of an indict
ment he could be made TO account
for It,"
If grand juries made a practice of
indicting on suspicion, mans char
acter would not be worth ten cents
in some places. The real object OF
the indictment is clear from the man
ner in which the accused mans po-
litical enemies have published it to
the world and commented on IT,
So grossly unjust was the outrage,
that Milwaukee's mayor has issued
public statement charging the grand
jury with being in collision with the
mans political enemies, and gratu-
itiously adding that "some of the
acts Of the district attorney and
grand jury are villainous, revengeful
and vlndictive and approach close to
subordination of perjury" and that
proceedings OF THIS Kind, instead OF
inspiring respect for the law. are
more apt to engepder a contempt
for it"
The only consolation the accused
gets is that If he is innocent he can
easily prove It and come clear. But
where is the man who wants to be
indicted simply to have the eatisfac-
tion of proving himself innocent?
A great deal of grating may have
been exposed in Wisconsin. but from
the statements OF the mayor OF Nil.
waukee, there are other and perhaps
worse things that need the limelighl
OF publicity turned on them.
