The Ideal Wife.

THE ideal wife is always truthful
never attempts to coerce her husband,
always looks her best, never scolds
and makes it her constant duty to
please him."
The above summarizes Rev. Richard
A. Morley's conception of the ideal
wife as he pictured it to his congre-
CATION in Oak Park, Ill. IAN ideal
wife," he said, never attempts to force
or coerce her husband, but she realizes
.hat she was created to be subject to
him. 1t is not true, strictly speaking"
he explained, that the wife is subject
to the husband in a material sense.
That is the idea of the coarse and I'M
thinking, but not of those who have
caught the vision of the inspired writ
.es A woman has the right to resist
with all her strength any attempt by
her husband to intimidate her.
Continuing the description of ideal
wifehood, DR.. Morley said in part:
ITO be a wife at all is great honor.
But to be an ideal wife is a position
and honor that angels might covet.
When we speak of a wife we assume
that she has those virtues and quail
ties essential to wifehood before she
can enter into the realm of the ideal.
That is, she is woman before she is
wife. An ideal wife must be abso-
lutely truthful to her husband. Most
people will be untruthful by word or
act under some circumstances, but it
is objectionable for wife to lie to her
husband.
Your husband courted you in your
best attire. He wooed and won you in
an atmosphere surcharged by the be-
wilderment of roses, perfume and song,
amid the sweet intoxication of wood
land rambles and moonlight poetry.
You come to his home and take the
myrtle from your hair, the rosebud
from your throat and exchange the
perfumed roses of love for faded or
even soiled calico. Can you expect any
thing else than a shock to the affec-
tons of him who had hitherto looked
upon you only in the moveless trance
of love?
1T is a wife's duty 70 look her best
at all times, and sin for her to be
careless about her personal attire in
the presence of her husband. An ideal
wife never criticises her husband and
is not a scold. Solomon says. A con-
tinual dropping ON a very rainy day
and a conscientious woman are alike,
and in another place he say Ut is bet
ter to dwell in corner of a housetop
than in wide house with a brawl
ing woman and Solomon knew, be-
cause he had a thousand wives, and
no doubt some of them were scolds.
THE ideal wife studies her husband
as she studies philosophy or mathemat-
les, scientifically. Her aim should be
to please him. She looks pretty for his
sake rather than to please other men,"

100000 UNION FARMERS.
An Organization which Ha. Become


Power In the West.
History does not record a more phe
nomenal growth than that of the Farm
ers' Union, an organization born in Texas
a little more than four years ago, and
which began operations with a member
ship of ten persons. To-day it has
membership of more than 100000, cover
ing every Southern State and spread
ing into six States located north of the
Mason and Dixon line. Its members
declare that it has alrea6y accomplished
what no other organization has ever been
able TO do-that is, it has the cotton sit
uation of the United States we'll In hand
and under the most thorough control 1t
has accomplished this through the careful
education of it's members, and ITS power
and influence is constantly increasing. 1t
is believed that within brief period it
will be able to thoroughly control the
marketing of all agricultural products and
largely eliminate the middleman from the
situation, enabling the farmer instead of
the speculator to step in and eontrol the
markets.
The first national headquarters were es-
tablished at Emory, the home of the
president. They we're subsequently, moved
to Point, thence to Greenville, and about
fourteen months ago finally located at
Dallas. Operations for two years after
organization were confined to Texas but
since that time the organization has
spread, so that at the present time State
and local unions exist in all the South
ern States and in Iowa, Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Oregon, California and Illinois.

ed by neighbors of the murder of his
wife and child, arrested him.
The man admitted that he had killed
his wife and stepson, and accounted
for the wound in his head by saying
that he had attempted to commit sui
eide but had failed, and then changed
his mind. When he came to town to
think that the murders had been dis
covered. When arrested he said that
he had killed his wife and stepson in
self-defense, but would say nothing
more.
First Attempt to Lynch Fails.
News of the murders and Cullen's ar
rest stirred his neighbors and residents
of Charles City to a frenzy This
was Increased when relatives of the
murdered woman made it known that
Cullen had on several occasions at
tempted to kill her and had always
treated her brutality. Cullen, who
made a living as a carpenter. had
bad reputation among those who knew
him.
Soon after his arrest threats were
made to lynch him and mob was
formed to attack the Jail. An attempt
was made late Tuesday night to force
an entrance into the Jail, but this
failed.
Wednesday it was learned that Gull
len was not seriously injured and rel
atives of the woman he murdered went
about town melting their friends to
make another attack on the Jail. Sud
denly at II o'clock Wednesday night
mob began to form near the jail In
a few minutes the news spread over
the town that another attempt was
going to be made to lynch Cullen and
hundreds Of men rushed to the Jail.
Smash Down Jail Walls.
Some of these brought up heavy rail
road irons and in an instant these had
been brought to play on the outer doors
of the Jail. These were easily demol
ished. Then the mob with hammers
and picks broke hole through the
brick wall of the Jail into the cell oc-
cupied by Cullen.
The sheriff was overpowered and
made a .risoner while men in the mob
dragged Cullen outside. With his head
bandaged and so weak with terror that
he could hardly walk Cullen was drag
ged to the county bridge over the Ce-
dar River.
Here men in the mob held back the
crowd, which now included many wom-
en- and children, while others solemnly
conducted a prayer Meeting with Gull
len in the center of the group.
After those who were about to kill
him had prayed for a few minutes
rope was tied to the bridge rail, a
moose thrown around Cullen's neck,
and he was showed from the bridge
