SOUND ADVICE FOR MEN.
The Moman's Side OF it-Converse OF
the Proposition That the Wiie
Sho Id Not Burden Husband
With Household Duties.

Beginning away back with St. Paul
who admonished the women to keep 81
| lent in the churches, the so-called
weaker sex have been eNhorted, ad
vised and ridiculed; and long list
| of conduct of the negative sort mapped
out beginning with DON'T, and an
equally lengthy array of the positive
sort, starting with DO.
And all this sage advice applies in
turn to maid and wife, debutante and
dowager.
Now what's sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander. Why not some
advice to men?
Are you one Of those men who con
tinually leave their personal belong
ings, their hats, canes, coats or slippers
wherever they've happened last to use
them?
Do you smoke your cigar in the par
lor and let the ashes fall wheresoe'er
they will. and that, too. after the regu-
lar Friday cleaning? And you en-
deavor to placate your wife with that
superior sophistry about cigar ashes
keeping out moths.
Do you bury yourself in the morn
ing paper, even reading while eating.
while your wife sits silent at the head
of tn table? Do you exclaim, or
chuckIe, or swear softly at the latest
news, without sharing your lnforma'
tion with her?
Do you compliment the little wo-
man when you are enjoying one OF
your good dinners, or do you find fault
if the morning coffee is just the least
bit below standard. though the pre-
yious twenty-five mornings you have
drunk the amber liquid of SURPRISING
excellence?
Do you notice the new gown that
has cost her days of thought and ef-
fort? Or do you say You women
spend whole lot of unnecessary
thought and time upon Clothes" and
then take your new top-coat back to
the tailor the sixth time because "it
doesn't set just right?"
Do you surprise your wife occa-
sionally by getting seats at the theatre
and giving her a surprise party OF
two? Or do you say "Aw, go to the
matinee II you want to see the show.
I'll go to the ball game?
Do you tell her of your plans, your
work. your perplexities? Do you
share with her your hopes and fears
Do you let her know of the real life
you IedQ SO ulduy uOuES edCA uaS :
Or do you turn her questions with q
brief women know nothing aDout
business. 1t will only worry you?
Do you sometimes take her in your
arms and say Little woman, you are
a good wife-a real helpmeet."? Do
you ever tell her the things you did in
the sweetheart days? Or Go you let
it go. thinking "She knows that any
way"
The woman's field Of labor, big man,
is narrow and circumscribed. 1t is
bounded, ordinarily, by the walls OF
the house and the needs of the chill
dren. This is her province and she
glories in it. But know that she
also longs for contact with the big
world, for the mental stimulus that
comes from daily association with men
and affairs, for the joy Of recognized
compensation for services rendered.
Because she is your wife. because
she has entered into the domestic life,
these things are denied her.
Can't you be generous to the little
woman? Can't you welcome her into
your larger life? Can't you make her
your real comrade-your true help
meet?

Mr.. Hageard expresses himself as
extremely we'll satisfied with the re-
SnIta seen at the Fort Romie settle
ment in California, and the Fort
Amitv settlement in Colorado. Ihe
Ohio settlement he leaves out OF con,
sideration, as it is principally devoted
to the redemption of inebriates, ana
the carrying out Of agricultural eAperi,
ments At both Forts Romie and
Amity. he found the settlers healthy,
happy, hopeful and almost without
exception doing well. Beginning In
nearly every case with nothing. In the
course of about four years at Fort Ro-
mile. he found these settlers worth
about $1,000 per head. above all their
debts and liabilities to the salvation
Army and others, and at Fort Amity,
n average Of over $1,000 a head,
which he thinks is more than they
&. could have possibly accumulated dur
ing the same period as day laborers on
the land or in the cities.
Reason For Wide Encouragement.
It is true that, although the set
tiers themselves are doing well the
Salvation Army, for the reason that
unexpected difficulties in the OPEN
ing up of the land were encountered,
was called upon to pay some $4,000
for its experience. Mr.. Haggard de-
clares, however, that under all the cir
eumstances, and in the face Of the
principles demonstrated, and the sue
cess won in every other direction. this
experience has been very cheaply
bought.
"Further," he says, "I cannot see
any cause to fear repetition of that
loss in the future application of these
principles. 1t is therefore totally in
accurate to say, as has been done
widely in press summaries of my re-
port, that these settlements are fnan-
cially a failure"
Would systematic Philanthropy.
Mr.. Haggard proposes n scheme,
!. e." to combine a judicious use of
the public credit, with that of what /
have called, the waste forces of be-
nevolence,' and by means of these
two levers, to lift some of the mass of
human misery, which demonstrates
itself in the great cities of civilization,
to a new level Of plenty and content
ment"
He believes that if settlements are
carried out on these lines, and espec-
tally If they are located upon good
land, which lFas cost the controlling
authorities little or nothing, there
should be, as is indicated by the ia
bles furnished in this report, no loss
but even a considerable gain.
