The Drama.

The drama begins in Athens, Greece,
on the wave of enthusiasm created by
the Greek victories over the Persians.
Aeschylus, B. G. 429, was the creator
of tragedy. Aristophanes. B. G.. 800,
was the father Of comedy. During the
middle ages the theater dropped to the
low level of the Miracle Plays" or
"Moralities" and was revived in the

Under such circumstances the brain has
a queer way Of calling up unwelcome
and unpleasant pictures. Night after
night Of this will turn the most ardent
love into Indifference. It will dry up
the, heart and sour the blood of the
most long suffering woman on earth,
and then the fool man wonders what
has changed his wife and Of course
blames her. He thinks it all over and
says to himself that he has given her
everything in the world she has asked
for or could want. He has beenfaa true,
kind and faithful husband, and her
conduct is therefore inexcusable. He
forgets that he has denied her that
which she considers Of far greater inn
portance than all the rest, that which
she desires far more than fine cloth
ing-his companionship.

There was Jimmy Rogers, member
of one of my clubs, as fine fellow as

man, generous to fault, straight as a

the best story tellers l ever heard. He
was devoted to his wife, but he was
an inveterate clubman. He never
dreamed he was neglecting her, for,
like many women, she endured in 81

Not a Mere Transaction.


When you married Anna May you
assumed an obligation somewhat broad
er and more binding than is involved
in the employment Of a housekeeper.
A mans duty to his wife is not ended
when he merely provides her with
food, clothing and shelter. Judging by
actions, there are great many men in
this world who would disagree with me
on that point, but they are men Of
strained vision and warped hearts.
They keep their eyes focused on their
selfish ambitions or pleasures until
their field Of view is entirely filled by
the reflection of their own image. It's
no use to argue with that kind of cat
tie, and I'm not going to try. But there
are great many more men who don't
know or don't think, and | reckon
you're one of them. Hoping that you
are, l want to try to inject few facts
into your carcass for the benefit of
your wife as well as yourself. 1t may
do some good, and it may not. At any
rate, it will relieve my mind.

The Lamb Plant.

Old time travellers in China and Tar
tary spoke of a plant they found there
with the shape and appearance Of e
lamb. 1t had, so they said,i head. feel
and tail distinctly formed, and its skin
was covered with soft down. It would
turn about on the stalk on which Dc
grew and would bend toward the
heritage on which it fed, and when
the grass failed it would dry up ana
Wither away. A singularly shaped
plant recently discovered shows that
there was some foundation for this re-
markable story. This plant has wool

There is no finer sight in the world

who, living always for each other, at

which is the ideal married state. They
are one, IN fact, and you no doubt have
noticed the physical resemblance which
often comes to such couples in the
course of years. Mr.. and Mrs. Harper,
over, on Benton street, are a splendid
example. When first knew Dick Har

as wild as they make 'em and was
getting mighty close to the jumping off

married her, and she made a man of

and they are still spooning. When they
