Put a Paddock on
Your Lips.
[Communicaisdl

There Is one snbject upon which every
woman's lips should be fastened with q
vale lock, and that lie sowing her hns-
band's weaknesses broadcast. To go
around in the garb of wife (and Oft
times pose as very loving one at thaD
in order to have more power in trying
TO make people believe III OF her hus-
band and TIE father Of her children, is
shocking thing aud a disgrace 10 VIC
mankind. Many a professional man
could trace his failure or falling OF nj
practice to his w'lc's unIireing zeal OF
tearing HIM to pieces. | maintain q
wife like this is de triment and not tit
fora wife, aud to say the least is wholly
unworthy Of that husbands love aud
affection and support shun such wo-
men rs you would the mot poisonous
reptile, as any woman who will Islander
her usband, will Islander others These
Jmcn's husbands are ignorant Of any
such matters. They, ms a rule, think
their wives the cream OF b,nor aud
queenly devotion, never dreaming oil
what they really are, for these women
at home are something akin TO angels,
so TO speak, purring and boneying
around their husband's weaving as IL
were web OF golden thr nd about them
that they (,heir husband's) mistake for
halo around the heads Of their wives.
and at the same lime their wives pou'
into their ears TRADE OF sland,r turned
and shaped for their husbands benefii
into sweet refrain, and the good words
some one has spoken in behalf Of ihos'
husbands misconstfu.d into what Their
wives would have IL mean and tell IL to
husbands, who OF course believe 1t as p
natural consequence, conceive the yer!
idea their wives intended they should,
and in this way they not only DO their
husbands cruel injustice, but 1t Las O
tendency TO poison their ininds, not on-
ly against loved ones and friends, but
the people at large. These sort OF wo
men don't realize it but as general thing
1t Is the wife, VINO writes the husbands
price tag in a community and people
talk OF him, as a rule, at her valuation
We have no better authority for 1t thar
what his wife says, and we feel that
there could be nc better, for If a mans
wife doesn't know HIM through and
through, nobody does. SO what she
says goes. II a woman lie always calling
attention to her husbands real OF im
aginary faults, although many times
she does il for merely self glorifcaii u
and TO show what beautiful christian
spirit she has, and in this way she ere
ales prejudice against him, that moth
ing he can do can dispel. Such wo-
man should marry a drunkard or liber-
tine as then she would have ample and
Just cause for complaint. Women who
belitlle their husbands and magnify
their seeming faults. are those who have
married above their station IN life, aud
in consequence they seem TO like TO pick
their husbands 10 pieces in order to
build themselves up on Their foundation.
Let other people do the knocking. There
will be plenty Of them. Men, ms rule,
do not DO these things. A man has TO be
pretty low down sort Of creature before
he ever cri;ises his wife to other people.
IL a woman thinks her husband is great,
respects his opinion, quotes his We've
and hss faith in his winning out and
making place for himself in the world
by reason of lis intelligence, enterprise
energy and thrift, before We know
1t we a:e all speaking of him as a comine
man and giving him our support.
