A KNoTrY PROBLEM.
Should a Husband Tell His Wife
Everything?

A young married man wrote to the
editor of the Jewel Monitor, says the
Kansas City Journal, asking: "Shall
I tell my wife everything?" Hardly
knowing what to advise the editor
asked man who had been married
fifty years to explain and he said:
Tell her everything" But the editor
concluded this old codger was hen
pecked. Tim he called on man who
has had three wives and Is looking for
a fourth. "Tell her the truth and she
will think you are lying, and IL you
lie she wifi catch YOU" Adopting a
conservative policy, the editor said:
Look wise. say nothing and avoid
trouble

Years as Chief of Police of this city,
was convicted of murder in the Sec
ond degree in the Criminal Court to-

Young Atkins Is 20 years of age. In
November, 1906 he went to the house
of one Eddie Eckels, on the Bowery,
and was ordered out by the woman,
who saw that he was drinking. She
advanced on him with a bunch of keys
in one hand, which the infiamed mind
of the young man mistook for pistol.
Pulling a derringer from one of his
pockets he shot the woman dead
The jury was given the case, after
a hard-fought battle, this. afternoon at
4 o'clock. Half an hour later the jury
men were ready to report, but court

APPLES PROPAGATE MOTHS.
Germans Give Warning Against
Keeping the Fruit in Dwellings
New York SUM-

Germany has found a peril in ap
pies. They are the principal medium
for the propagation and spread of des
tructive house moth (Glycyphagus do
mesticusl according TO observations
recently made.
The discovery was the result Of a
plague OF moths at Cries and the vii
lagos surrounding It. The larvae
were traced TO the stores of apples
kept in the houses and thence to the
trees themselves.
The larvae are found first Of all in
the apple blossoms AS the fruit grows
they cluster in the conical depression
about the stem Of the apple.
When the fruit is taken into the
house it is laden with the eggs. The
propagation OF the eggs is said to
be prodigious.
When the fruit Is taken into the
house the eggs find their way into
clothing. hangings, carpets and up
holstered furniture, and the insects
are Matched out, with the well-known
ruinous result. The eggs are also
said to be the cause Of the white mot
ling that is so often noticed on dried
'ruit.
As a result OF the discoveries It is
Urged that apples never be taken into
dwellings, without careful cleansing,
md even then they should never be
,ept in living rooms, and the peeling
hould be promptly removed

Bon Ton Opening.

The millinery opening at the Bon
Ton Tuesday attracted an unusually
large crowd, who were we'll repaid
for their visit, as their display of
spring hats, ribbons and flowers were
lovely and quite a number of hand
some hats were sold. The decora-
tons were dainty and evidences of
spring we're in every available corner.
Miss Conyers displayed much taste this
season in her selections. Her street
hats, mostly mushroom shape, are
very stylish and becoming. The Bell
hat made of dark green foliage, with
one large pink rose was much ad-
mired. White Leghorns with hand
some plumes and buckles seem to be,
also quite popular for more dressv
hats.

IN MEMORIAM.

Mr.. S. B. Nichols departed this lif
Sunday morning, March 18th, at 4 80
o'clock. Deceased had been In failin,
health for some months, though kline
friends and loving hands tried tt
make smooth his pillow. The summons
came and the tired spirit took Its
flight to rest in the beyond.
Mr.. Nichols expressed himself as
being ready for the call of the Master
though he fam would have stayed
among his many friends and with his
young wife, who watched over him so
faithfully and cared for him with so
much tenderness. God who doeth all
things well saw fit to take him away
from world of pain and affection.
He leaves brothers, sister and a
loving wife, and also many friends to
miss him, and who indeed, will mourn
that his earthly pilgrimage has end
ed.
When we think, Carriers Creek will
not seem the same without him, we
are reminded of his usefulness as a cit
izen and of how often he has bestow-
ed on us favors as well as every one
else when he saw he could accommo-
date them. He seemed ever ready
and we find ourselves wondering who
will take the place he has filed for
so many years past; and who will
be the stay and help to this vicinity
that Mr.. Nichols has always been.
Some one is ready to say, "he had
his faults" Who of us is perfect? |
Again | say that good man has been |
taken from our midst and one who
will be sadly missed.
May the Lord strengthen the sor-
rowing wife and bereaved relatives,
and while | try to write these few
lines my eyes grow dim with tears,
realizing that have lost a friend in
deed.
For more than eight years We have
been together almost constantly, and
during the entire time he has always
been as kind and indulgent to me as a
father to a son, and 1t shall ever be q
pleasant spot in my memory to know
that was able to help comfort him
in his last days. E. c. F.

tell you of an incident of my own

one of my salesgirls made a belt out

attractive, also a novelty, and had
her make up a dozen or so with an
idea of selling them and put line or
two in my ads calling attention to
them.
"The first dozen was sold the fol-
lowing day and in the next three
months we sold between 10000 and
$4,000 of these belts-at a good profit.
1t also gave our salesgirls an oppor-

money after hours.

first sign of spring. AS announced
Tuesday was the opening day at Nc

day and many handsome sales were
made. The rooms were artistically
decorated in garlands of flowers of all
varieties, tied together in love knots
OF shaded tulle, making altogether a
most attractive display. The hats this
season are unusually becoming, the
mushroom shape being the most popu-

hold their own. Flowers are used a
great deal. The extreme dress hats
have handsome plumes. Some of the
new street hats are the "Aair Ship"

COMING CRASH OF NAvIEs.
When Ships Of Nicaragua and Hos
duras Meet.

We can all remembe:, says the
Brooklyn Times, the suspense that
rested upon the nations of the world
when Rojestvensky was inching his
timorous way from port to port on the
way to the Sea of Japan, where Togo
was lying in wait with his sea dogs in
leash, ready to hurl them against the
Russians. 1t was felt that the issue
of the whole campaign depended upon
the result of their meeting, for it was
plain that Japan's triumphal progress
through Manchuria must be perforce
arrested if Russia gained control of
the sea. 1t can hardly be said that
the world is watching with the same
intense interest the result of the i'm
pending encounter between the fleets
of Nicaragua and Honduras, although
to the rival Central American repub-
lies it may seem matter of greater
than the clash between
Togo and Rojestvensky. The Mica
raguan fleet consists of the converted
fruit ship Omatipe, which is generally
believed to have a gun or two of some !
sort mounted and ready for action, |
while the Honduran navy is the gun
boat Tatumbla presumably a convert I
ID. tugboat, which is also supposed to
lave on board some plausible imita-
ions of the Mortal engines, whose
