Iookinu Ear Ahead.

A sarcastic friend of Senator Bailey
called upon him In Washington, hav-

"You should try to get your boy ap-
pointed to West Point or Annapolis, !"
said the senator. "Oh, no. said the
friend, I'VE have got something better
than that for him. His, ambition is to
build the Panama canal. \ He will have
two years more in the preparatory
school, then four years on civil en-

the field under some good engineer,
and then want him to get to work on
the canal. He may be the man who IL

The Modern Wife and the Money
Question.

Usually it is the shadow of money
that brings the first partial eclipse to
the honeymoon, and unless the problem
is rightly handled the eclipse may be-
come total. The modern wife cannot
be always asking for money and retain
either her happiness or her self-respect.
The husband could not keep his business
going if he did not have a payday for
his employees or If he was careless about
paying his bills. He cannot expect to
keep his house going without financial
arrangement that will give il regularity
and security. 1t is passing strange that
this matter should be constant difficult
ty in millions of homes, but it is hard.

The conditions in this city amazed even

obliged to mount bowling, growing,

And yet the author would not exchange
the far-away savage clty of domes and

the roar and hustle of civilization. She
would crave for the Picture CITY, girt by
the Atlantic swell; with its binding
white houses, fiat rooted and palm top

strange smells and she would long for
her quaint old Arab palace with its
queer balconies and vast rooms, and
