HOW TO THRASH YOUR WIFE.
London Press Says This Matter Has
Not Received Attention.

|
London, England, Sept. 25.--"So
many social and domestic problems
come up for discussion at this time of
year in the London newspapers that
1t is matter of some surprise" says
Henry Labouchre, that the important
question, how to thrash your wife, has
not received the attention it deserves
1t is a question in which there is
room for great diversity of opin
lon and practice, and nothing is more
certain to affect the tone of home life
periodically than errors of Judgment
In administering correction to ones
wife and mother.
1T Is SO easy to beat your wife too
much or too little or to do it in the
wrong way. If woman requires to
be chastised the husband should take
q strap to her and not his hand. The
use Of a poker is apt to lead to serious
consequences. On the other hand,
while the strap stings abnormally, it
Is never likely to lead to trouble with
the coroner's jury.
THE truth is that the chastisement
Of wife who stands in need Of cor.
rection, as the best of them do at
times. is delicate business and
should never be undertaken without
care and deliberation. If 1t be bungled
or overdone and the police are called
in the whole moral effect is lost. Mag.
istrates to do them justice are nearly
always kindly and sympathetic to hus,
bands who do their work with rea.
sonable amount of tact and discretion;
they are not too particular about a
black eye or little blood or an oc.

A GARBLED STORY
DIR. w. E. cREATH TALKED WITH
ELLET coHAGEN OF BLAkEs-
BURG, AT sALlDA.
Young Man Was Reported to Have
Been Found in Dying Condition In
Lone Cabin at Camp of Gold Hill
Mining Company.

If the Goa Hager the young eastern
prospector told about in the newspa-
per clipping that has caused SO much
worry and anxiety to the relatives
and friends of young Elicit Cohagen
Of Blakesburg and that unfortunate
young man are identical parties, then
the account given of the affair in the
clipping was most badly garbled, &C.
cording to DR.. w. e. Creath of this
city, who recently returned from the
Tin Cup (Colo.) region
When seen this morning by a Cour-
Ter representative DR.. Creath stated
that he and A. S. Jdell, also Of this
city, were in ST. Elmo, Colo, at the
time young Cohagen was brought to
that place in wagon from the camp
Of the West Gold Hill Mining Co.,
by which firm he was employed, near
the town of Tin Cup, situated on the
Gold Hill mountain.
Young Cohagen was placed on the
train at st. Elmo and was sent to
Buena Vista, where he was placed un.
der the charge Of physician. For
three days the physician was unable
to decide whether the malady from
which the young man suffered was in
deed typhoid fever, this uncertainty
being caused by the mildness of the
form of the disease.
Taken to Hospital.
AS soon as it was definitely decided
that the disease was typhoid fever,
tho sufferer was taken to the hospital
at Salida, from which place letter
was received Saturday by Mr..
Cohagen's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. S. l..
Cohagen, who reside near Blakesburg.
The hospital is the one belonging to
and supported by the Denver & Rio
Grande R. R. and DR.. Creath stated
that the care received by the young
man there was of the best possible
kind.
The Gold Hill Mining Co., in whose
employ MI. Cohagen was, is we'll
known in this city, as over fifty OF
tumwans are interested in 1t. Mr..
Cohagen at the time he was taken
sick wa. room mate or Denney Nc
Chung, former Ottumwan who was at
one time enc of the Office force of a
local hardware store wher. Mr.. Co
hagen was also employed.
The Newspaper Clipping.
The newspaper clipping that caus-
ed so much anxiety to the relatives
and friends of the young man was re-
ceived last week enclosed In letter
from Adolph Schoech of Golden, Colo,
to his brother, Joseph Schoech, a
farmer residing south Of Blakesburg.
The clipping ctated that young
eastern prospector by the name Of
Goa Hager had been found in dying
condition in a lonely mountain cabin
and had been carried in a wagon
through Tin Cup Pass and through
Buena Vista to Salida, where he was
placed in hospital
The resemblance Of the names and
the fact that young Cohagcn was en-.
ployed at Tin Cup, aroused the fears
of the young mans father, s. l.. Co
hagen and Friday night letter was
written to his son, enclosing the clip
ping and asking for particulars

ton street, this morning. lie had been
feeling unwell for the past few days and
was not taking his regular run, his COM

Carpenters Strokes to Drive Nail.
How many hammer strokes does a
carpenter use in driving nail?
Perhaps not one carpenter in thou
sand Or one layman in ten times that
number can tell or ever think of it.
The trurh of the matter is this: The
carpenter takes seven strokes in driv-
ing a nail into ordinary wood and
twelve regular strokes and two finish
ing taps in driving nails into hard
wood.
These figures are furnished by q man
who works at night and sleeps-or tries
to sleep-by day and whose bedroom
window opens out upon a fiat building
in course of erection He figured the
average number of hammer strokes for
nine mornings and, having learned
them. moved to a hotel until the new
building is completed
He discovered that the carpenter
drives an average of three nails min
ute in soft wood and d fraction under
three in hard wood At this rate he
would drive LAO nails a day in soft
wood if he keeps up the gait steadily
and 1,2S2 in hard wood He would give
10000 hammeN strokes in soft wood
and 20, 100 in hard wood.-Chicago Trib-

England's Round Tree.

The heart Of England is a sturdy
member that throbs responsive to ev-
cry call of duty. That, indeed, is not
common to England, but is heritage
Of every land where the love Of country
is deep in the breast Of man. But the
real heart Of England-its exact geo.
graphical center-is altogether another
proposition So far from being Occu'
pied by patriotic sentiment, tree ex
actly fills the space. It is called Round
Tree and is both a picturesque and dis
tinguished growth. Cold stone might
mark the spot, but this living monu
ment which green's as the snow melts
is much more fitting. This ancient oak
typifies the national strength, and the
associations attached to it thickly as
leaves in midsummer make it thing
Of affection and veneratiOn.

Popular Names Abroad.

Numerous as are the members Of the
Smith family, they do not occupy as
prominent a place in European direc-
tories as they do in those of England
or at home, though they take up much
room in the Berlin directory, 5000
Schmidts being registered They have
to give room, however, to the Schultzes
and Mullers. In Brussels the Jansen
family is the most numerously repre-
sented, while the greater space in the
Paris directory is given over to the
Martinets.
Morelli and Vitelli are the names
most numerous in Naples, and here the
Smiths sink into significance; but, like
the word "hello." the name of Smith
is heard around the world and is repre-
scented in practically every directory
published, more than may be said of
any other surname, whatever its ma
tiOnality

J Fl Richardson, whose farm has been
submerged since before the frost came
out of it this spring, has been stirring up
the mud around the Indian Ford dam.
He went to Madison last week and laid
the matter before the attorney general,
who sent out his assistant, A G Titus,
accompanied by G FL Cromhart of West
Superior, to make an investigation. They
came here Wednesday and engaging Ed
Hager's automobile went around the
lake, making stop at Indian Ford dam.
The result of these deliberations may be
a lowering of the dam or an appraisal
and purchase of the overhowed land. A
meeting has been called here Saturday
of farmers interested to talk the matter
over and decide on the course to pursue.
