the reins II you must, but when you fad

that she won't suspect 1t. I used to have
a FLY that would take the bit in her teeth
and run away every time I cracked the
whip. but give her lump of sugar pat
her on the back. and she would so at any
pace l wanted. That's the way you've got
to treat a woman If you want to have a
home where peace and happiness prevail.
Compliments Cost Nothing.
Compliments will accomplish more in
month than criticisms in lifetime. Don't
you suppose she knows as well as you when
anything is wrong with the cooking, and
do you imagine that her modification and
disappointment will be relieved by your
neasly kicks? Not nyour life. On the
other hand, don't you suppose that she
knows you re lying when you praise the
batter cakes you can hardly swallow? OF
course she does, but nevertheless the load
that you put in your stomach you lift from
her heart, and she inwaTdly resolves 10 dc
better If she has TO break her arm stirring
batter. She realizes that you are hypo-
critic, but she knows that you are hero,
and she can't find fault with hypocrisy that
is prompted by your love for her.

A Good Word for the Senate.
From Ieslie's Weekly

w
That the United States Senate is lust now
under a cloud Of public disfavor, much Of
it deserved, is clearly evident, but no fair
minded and well-balanced American citizen
can sympathide with the torrent of reckless
and indiscriminate abuse which certain pc
riodicais are pouring out upon that body.
1t is better to be Just and truthful, even
when dealing with the Senate. 1t is grossly
unjust TO convey the impression, as one of
these magazine critics Is doing, that tvsb-
thirds OF the members of the present Senate
are selfish. greedy and corrupt the crea-
lures OF corporations, and unworthy of the
confidence and esteem of the American peo-
pie Possibly few senators may be de-
serving Of this opprobrium. but the large
majority. and the controlling element are
men of character and ability and as much
entitled to popular respect as any body of
men who have occupied their places. They
are liable to errors of Judgment In common
with the rest OF mankind, but that thew
are mere set Of obstinate obstructionists
bent ON serving their own interests and de-
feating the popular with. we do not believe.
Much less do we believe that they are most
~ thieves and 'grafters," as one of these
nfagazinists has asserted. Honest and in
teligent criticism Of the Senate is always
In order. but billingsgate is not criticism

Encourage Her Home Instinct.

The home instinct is strong in nearly all
women, and the majority will do everything
possible to make home pleasant if given
proper assistance and encouragement. They
will make mistakes, of course. have yet
to see the man who doesn't. But In most
cases they can see them as quickly as tho
creatures in trousers who assume to know
1t all and win do much more TO correct
them than he possibly ask IL they are
let alone. There are times, I will admit
when 1t becomes advisable-nay, absolutely
necessary-for man to call his wife's att
tention TO errors she has overlooked or
wilffuily made He should always remem-
Der, however, that 1t is his wife and not
his Office boy he is dealing with, and that
diplomacy will do more with a woman than
a big stick, no matter how vigorously used.
Some men will tell you that a big stick Lib
the proper weapon for the maintenance OF
discipline and peace In the household, but
want to inform you with all the emphasis
that can put into 1t that the one inpor-
tant thing to maintain in the home is love.

husbands hands, or q wife's either, for
that matter, is compliment, yet it is ono
that is less used than any other. The
beauty and graces that In our courtship
days drew forth The most extravaganza
praise are suffered to pass unnoticed or
unmentioned in later years. The little at
tentlons that once delighted us become
mere matters of daily routine, and we ac-
cept them our right and without COM
ment. Yet all the time that dear little wo-
man hungers for the recognition that is her
due; longs with the longing that man cans
not understand for the little word that ex.
presses your continued admiration. for tho
little acts that are proof of your undimiu-
ished affection, for the evidences OF YOUR
appreciation of her efforts to make YOU
comfortable and happy. She hungers, but
all too often her love Is allowed TO slowly
perish from starvation. The heart dries up
from lack of nourishment. and the bind
man wonders at the change. No matter
how strong your love may be. no matter
how much you appreciate her labors ana
her personal attentions to you, all this has
little value to her unless it is expressed in
some form. Still waters run deep, you
have heard, but the very uncertain y of its

OPENED AT AN ADVANCE

New York, September 1.-The cotton market was somewhat irregular during today's session. but after an early de- cline was frner on less favorable weather predictions and closed at an advance of l to points on slightly better conditions than were expected, but sold off to net decline of 36J5 points under bear pressure and liquidation inspired by the excellent showing in the early weather reports, in dicating only scattering rains for over Sunday with light precipitation and mod crate temperatures. Later, however, the market rallied by Wall street support which followed the forecasts calling for lower temperatures and rains in the southwest and disturbances along the At lantic coast which might work inland
 The close was within point or two of the best. Private cables from Liverpool reported some hedge selling at the open ing, but light offerings later.

bears had some doubts as to the prob able fulfllment of their big crop ideas while the bulls were forced to admit that the amount of new business being done was not encouraging. At the same time the demand for spots to All old engage ments had to be recl1oned with and was still a factor of considerable Importance. All but the most bitter bears are now willing to admit that the crop Is late and that much depends on the date of the first killing frost. Probably this date will decide the course of prices during the remainder of the season. With conditions as they were even the ring sealpers found themselves at fault and taking losses in- stead of profits. Around the opening or soon after the opening. a lower market was looked for but instead prices went upward for about 10 points. Around 9:2 for December professionals commenced to wish for 9.50 to sell the market on and 9 cents to buy on.
