KINDLY MAN BEST HUSBAND.
tBy Beatrice Fairfax. }


Girls, there is one indispensable quality
to look for in husband, and that is
kindliness.
A man may be rich and handsome. a
power socially and financially, but if he
is not kindhearted he is not the man to
marry.
Good looks and money help man
very much in his wooing, but they can t
make you happy wife, if your husband
is not kind and thoughtful of your hap
piness.
You must remember that married life
is not continuous round of pleasures,
such as theatres, parties, etc. The
husband is not so ready with candy and
violets as the sweetheart was. But if
he is tender and considerate you won't
miss the excitements of courtship. The
qualities that count are those you must
live with day after day. A man may
be an Apollo to look at, but if he comes
to breakfast as cross as a bear he is not
very pleasant to live with. Or he may
give you every luxury and yet never
dream of giving you the petting and
love your heart is aching for. And all
his money won't make you happy
woman.
when a young man is attentive to you
find out first of all if he is kind. Notice
his manner toward old people and
children. When he calls on you observe
his treatment of your parents.
kind-hearted husband will consider
your welfare before all else. To work
for you, to make you happy, to give
you a good home will be his first con-
sideration.
Don't throw yourself away on a man
who has nothing but money or good
looks to recommend him. A man NAV
be extremely attractive and carry YOU
off your feet by his impetuous wooing.
but try to keep your head until you
really know him. Then if you detect
him in any cruelty or disrespectful
action toward others, send him away:
no matter how much it hurts to do so.
He may be charming to you now, but
If his nature is cruel you will suffer for
1t some day. And if you have any
reason to know he is Incorporate send
him away, for an Incorporate husband
means wretched, unhappy home.
When you marry man you are in
trusting your whole life's happiness to
HIM, so you must he very careful to
know as well as possible what kind of a
man he is. Of course you cannot know
him really well until you marry him,
but you certainly can know if he is kind
and temperate. Don't spoil your whole
life by marrying man who will not
treat you as friend and companion as
well as a wife.

Last Saturday, in hopes of having
her husband returned to her, Mrs.

straw and she broke down in mind

The house to which Klise re-
moved his family is large, old
structure, insufficient to afford pro-
lection from the cold and wind.
Bit by bit Mrs. Klise sold off the
furniture. A week ago the stove
went. The bed followed and when
she notified Mrs. Reynold of her
poverty stricken condition the only
resting place for the children was
an old, WORKOUT rug and the baby's
bed was pile of rags.

taken charge of the children and

OPERATORS NOT

Spokane telegraphers deny that
the Associated Press operators
have been ordered back to work.
The report was brought here in
private advices received by City
Commissioner O'Brien, who used to
be an operator 1t came from Hell
ena and was sent, the telegrapherS
claim, by man who has gone back
to work and is being used in an eff
fort to stampede the rest of the
strikers. .
1t was rumored that one of the
A. p. operators in this city had APP
piled for reinstatement and had
been rejected.
The men on strike have heard
nothing official yet from the ma
tional convention at Milwaukee.
They are satisfied with the prob
able selection of A. w. COpp as
president to succeed Small and
have no fear but the strike will be
fought to a finish. They say that
every device Is being resorted to
by the companies to misrepresent
actual conditions and discredit the
stand of the operators. One of the
latest moves is the pretended
friendly suggestion from company
sources that each local union take
secret vote on going back to work
without consulting national ofs
ficers. So far as the local opera
tors have been informed this plan
has failed in every instance.

TECT DEPOSiTORS - COUN-
TRY,S PROSPERITY NOT
THREATENED.

NEW YORK, Oct 25.-Despite
the strong close of yesterday, the
troubled financiers of the East had
to face the failure Of three more
banks this morning.
Notices were posted on the doors
of the United States Exchange
bank of New York, with capital
stock of 100000, that it would not
open its doors today The doors OF
the Borough Bank of Brooklyn held
the same notice.
In Providence, Rhode Island, the
Union Trust Co. formally posted
notice that payments would be tenn
porarily suspended. A run devel-
oped on the Union Trust Co. bank
late yesterday afternoon, but it
was thought that the company had
sufficient funds to stand the emer-
gency.
All of these banks are believed
to be solvent and able to pay dol
lar for dollar.
Bankers state that the Twelfth
Ward bank, which closed yesterday,
is solvent but suspended to safe
guard all depositOrs. The Hamil-
ton hank, which also closed, posted
a notice to the same effect.
In the excitement following the
closing of the banks the loaning
section of the exchange became a
wild mob demanding money at any
price. One national bank loaned
$5O0,000 at so per cent and the
First National bank put out $4,000
600 at the same rate of interest. A
syndicate of banks added $4,000
600 more in the stand to stay the
market.
In spite Of enormous rates COM
manded Rockefeller continued to
loan steadily at per cent.
Morgan stood behind the move
ment to quiet the panic stricken
street and his management of tne
situation is the greatest triumph OF
his financial career. Through him
the mighty power or the U. s. treas
ury. represented by Sec. Cortelyou,
and the Standard Oil strength was
brought to bear at the psychological
moment. In the thick of 1t Nor
gan said:
1--WE have done all we can and |
hope for the best. 1t is time for
action and not for talk"
1t is estimated that $200,000,00
has been withdrawn from the banks
in the past two weeks.
Notwithstanding the suspension
of three smaller banks today. the
trouble is regarded as purely local,
