FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

Few Of us are sufficiently advanced in
ideas TO believe that a husbands place is
in the kitchen while his wife lives the
outdoor life Of famer have just heard
Of a case Of this kind. and l must confess
that 1t leaves an unpleasant impression.
as It brought to mind other stories in
Which men figured to their disadvantage.
OF course, they were not the usual
masterful men, or they would not have
submitted 10 such conditions-and no
woman would have dared even to suggest
them.
A miId-mannered. inoffensive masculine
being became the second husband Of a
woman who had strong wiz stamped
ali over her She had a fine home and
much money. and be had been used TO
earning every dollar he spent 1 cannot
say what were his expectations, but they
must have been something higher than
the reality, for n hopeless expression
gradually settled down on his former
peaceful cCUntenanCe. and he offered no
protest to conditions which faiT-minded
employees would not dream Of accepting.
II was said that the happiest moment
of his welded life was the one that
marked his passing to another world-his
face told the story.
Another case that came to my notice
concerned a devoted couple who had
fought poverty cOntentedly, side by side.
turn in the wheel of fortune brought
ease to the home through an inheritance
10 the wife, and matters were changed
within a week. The possession Of money
created arrogance IN the woman, and she
ceased TO treat her husband as an equal
a self-respecting man would have de-
serted her. l suppose, but this one was
no longer young and his affection for his
wife was sincere; so he remained and ac-
cepted whatever conditions she chose to
impose.
She chose to play the lady. and he was
to be maid and housekeeper, and every
thing else in the establishment that car
ried work and responsibility. Strange to
say, the man grieyed 50 continuously
when his wife died as to undermine his
health. and his enjoyment OF the fortune
was short The third case has just fallen
under my notice. A young woman ad-
dicted 20 outdoor life and the love for
animals married a man who owned
horses and cattle, and by degrees has
succeeded in installing her husband in
the kitchen, while she spends her time
outside the home walls. She affects
masculine attire. as far as the law per-
mits, and carries on the business as well
as any man could, which is all right
enough.
The unpleasant feature is the reversal
or positions. Women in all kinds Of
business are familiar sights, and men in
household service are ume-honCred insti-
tutiOns; but this particular settlement Of
the fate Of husband and wife is some
thing different Most Of Us have a senti-
ment regarding home-making, a feeling
THAI there Is a close relation between
woman and home, and that the bond
between man and the business world is
natural and proper. BY reason Of superior
strength, men should be leaders, but the
majority are content 10 meet women on
middle ground. They lose caste by con-
senting 20 retire 20 the background, and
the women who force such an issue are
not gamers by the transaction.

SALOON HAS HOSPITAL ANNEX
Proprietor Without Police Aid
at His Expense
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Jan. 13.-There
is one saloon keeper who scorns the aid
of the police. He was at one time a
member of the police force and uses
his training to advantage in settling all
rows and fights. In the rear of his
saloon he keeps surgical Instruments
ointments and bandages. When his
customers mix 1t up the injured are
not sent to police headquarters for
treatment. Their injuries are dressed
in the saloon.
Four men were throwing dice for the
drinks in this saloon when a fight
started between two of them. The COM
batants were not evenly matched. One
was big, burly stonemason. the other
cook. In very short time the cook
was on the floor. There were cuts on
his face, blood was flowing from his
nose and he wore black eyes.
Fifteen minutes later the cook
emerged from the room, wearing neat
bandages on his head. His face was
clean, there were pieces of court plaster
over the abrasions and he looked as If
he had undergone treatment at the
hands of skilled surgeon. The saloon
keeper himself was the surgeon. While
an officer he had assisted in dressing
the injuries Of many victims. He had
given the cook all the treatment neces-
sary and also saved him from being
locked up at police headquarters.
