The editor of the Texas Woman says
that it is mistake to suppose men
would be more domestic If their wives
should feed them better. She says

1t is impossible to control him and
that the only way to hold him to a con-

What Would You DO?
There are two stock answers given
by wives when they are asked the
crucial question. What would you do
II your husband seemed inclined to
fall in love with another woman?"
One answer is, Il wouldn't do any
thing; I'd let him go!" and the other,
I'D flirt with someone myself"
Further than this the Imagination
does not seem to go.
The first answer, translated, means:
IF my husband could fall so far from
my ideal of him he wouldn't be my
husband any more. l would feel only
indifference and contempt for him.
The other answer is of a different
caliber: IF he sees that he is in dan
ger of losing me he may regain his
interest in me. What another man ad-
mires he may admire, too. and find
that he loves me best, after all. At
any rate, he will find that he cannot
neglect ME with impunity."

make it "jell." it stiffened perfectly,
and was pretty clear red. Its pleas
ant tartness will make it desirable to
eat with meats. 1t was made the first
week in July; we have an impression
that it would not "jell" so well earlier
In the season. The rhubarb was cut

A Snake Story.

Some women and children who were
picnicking in a wood near Williston
Monday had spread a tablecloth on
the grass, had laid out the angel cake
and the ice cream, had disposed them
selves, cross-legged. to enjoy the feast,
when big black snake glided from
the underbrush, coiled itself around
the angel cake, and, kissing, raised
its head menacingly. Those of the
picnickers who were not paralyzed by
fear scattered shrieking. Some ran
down the turnpike and met Miss Vera
Gillette, who was going to her neigh
bors. She did not act like Miss Moi
fat. When she was told about the un-
welcome guest she got a big stick.
With one blow she stunned the snake;
the second killed it. But the picnick-
ers hurried away without taking even
the tablecloth.

OUR SCATTERED ARMY.
Is 1t = Menace to = Really Efficient
Service?

1t is perhaps hardly realized, writes
Captain T. Bentley Mott, U. s. A., in
Scribner's, that in the United States
proper we>have 100 posts, garrisoned
by $4,000 men. OF these 81 are coast
posts, the other 68 in the interior have
compliments of one, two, three, four.
eight and twelve companies. At only
seven posts Is an entire regiment COL
lected. Fort Leavenw0rth. the largest
of all, has % companies belonging to
five different branches Of the service.
The opportunity to constantly handle
and. see handled regiments, brigades
and divisions in the open is one Amer
lean officers have never had, and will
never have until large permanent
camps are established. Autumn man
euvers, under our present system, pro-
vide this opportunity most imperfect
~. They are like examinations pre-
coded by no course of instruction.
Today our instruction stops at
the field officer. Who teaches lieu
tenant colonel anything whatever of
his future duties?
If We have no school for forming our
colonies where are our brigadier gen
erals taught? As for a division COM
mander, under our system he must be
born such, for there exists no machin-
cry for manufacturing him or letting
him manufacture himself, and when
made there is no way of testing the
strength and business of his parts.
A good colonel can in time make
good captains and a good regiment, but
IA of the best captains that ever
marched cannot make good colonel,
and all the effort they have spent on
their companies comes to naught in a
battle through the faulty handling of
the regiment. But a vigorous and able
division commander can make good
colonies, or else rid himself of the
bad ones, and it is precisely this op-
portunity which larle commands alone
can provide. The examination for
promotion" of the officers in such a
camp would go on all the year round.

Of Interest to Women

hcial and based on the feeling of the
moment-the feeling of getting ever"
But the woman who is in danger of
losing her husbands affections will
nave many moments not to be evolved
into sentences so clear-cut and self
sufficient. If woman does know that
her affection is killed for a man when
she finds him beginning to be attracted
elsewhere, then, indeed, the situation
is simplified II one no longer loves
everything Is endei-the worst hurt
Is over. But in real life the woman
who speaks the most proudly is the
one who finds it most impossible to
live up to that ultimatum of indiffer-
ence. To see the one she loves daily.
In all the intimate domestic happen
ings, to have everything speak of those
cords of married life by which they are
bound together, to know that there are
still times when he is tender and she
is dear-oh, that is not to wish him
to go! He must stay and love her
best, or she will die.
There Is one question that should
come to every wife who sees her hus-
band attracted by another woman:
Where does she charm where 1 do
not? Does she try to please him more
than l have done? Is the suggestion
immoral only? What is the unconsci.
GUS need back of this outcome of It,
the thing that I have unconsciously
failed in? Why should any one have
more attraction for him, more power
over him, than his own wife,"
And one thing is certa!n-if his re-
gard is failing you under the condi-
tions of life that you are now both
living under, change them-never
keep on under any conditions that are
futile Of result. BY some means, in
some way, get out of the rut. Give
him some other interest, other COM
pany, a fad, anything to take up the
mind or his attention so that this
other hurtful interest may be crowded
out Plan for it as you never planned
before. A fishing trip will cut out the
dawning passion for almost any wom-
an. Even figuring over an impossible
canoe or an impossible sailboat with
a yachting magazine and a couple of
enthusiastic nautical friends will sup
ply counter attraction through many
winter evenings.-Mary Stewart Cut
