Recipe for a Model Husband.

st. Louis Republic.
A citizen of Sunflower, Cal. bethink-

himself to any one of a club of twelve
Sunflower maidens who might look
upon him with favor. His offer has
brought forth a we'll considered
response from one of the girls. who
states her willingness to marry him pro-
yided he could fulfill all of the follow
ing conditions: ''That he prove his
sincerity, that he demonstrate that
he is amply able to provide a comfort
able home for his bride and is willing
to make provisions for her every need
and comfort: that he abstain from
tobacco in every form, that he will not
use Intoxicating liquors to any extent
whatever, that he shall be chaste and
pleasant in conversation, use no pro-
fame or improper language, spend his
evenings at home. not frequent clubs
or pool rooms, not hirt with any
woman and attend church every Sun
dav." We grieve to relate that the
gentlemani in question has been obliged
to stop and examine into himself in
order to ascertain whether he really
wants to marry. We commend the

THE SPEAKERS MACE.
Origin of the Emblem of Authority
Used in Congress.

At the right of the speakers desk in
the hall of the house OF representatives
in the capitol at Washington stands a
large cylindrical pedestal made OF highly
polished green marble.
When the house is called to order each
day. the sergeant at arms or one oil ms
deputies places upon the pedestal the
mace, which is the symbol of authority
in the house. When the body adjourns
he removes it and keeps it in safety until
the house meets again.
This mace is of very ancient and non
orable origin. Under the old Roman re-
public the magistrates passed on foot from
one place to another administering JUS
tice, trying public offenders and imposing
penalties. H.,
Each of these magistrates was attend
ed by a small body of men known as nc
tors, whose duty it was to make way Tor
the officers of the law, preserve order,
make arrests and inhict punishment on
condemned citizens. -, -.
Eacb Of these lictors carried with him
bunch of rods tied together with thongs
and having an ak bound to the outside. OF
II. The thongs were used in scourglng
and the ak for beheading. Sentences I'M
posed by the magistrates were at once
carried out. Those bundles OF rods were
known as fasces. When the Romans con-
ouered Britain the use of the tasces as
symbol was brought with them, and many
other Roman customs renamed with the
British people. At.
While it was no longer used for inlet,
ing punishment, it continued TO De useu
as q symbol by the early English magis,,
rates and when an officer appeared
carving the fasces his authority was I'M
mediately accepted by all. 1t was, In Ell
feet, his badge of office.
The English form of the tasces was
slightly changed in that the ak was
nlaced inside of the bundle OF rods, with
The blade protruding from the, top.
The great councils of the early SaXons
gradually developed into one general Douy
which in the 18th century became, known
az fine house of commons. In all these
earlier councils the use of the tasces was
continued. but it then came to be known
"a the mace which has remained. as the
emblem of legislative authority IN that
body down to the present day.
The house of representatives OF the
Irnited States was modelled closely after
III. house of commons by the trainers OF
orr constitution, and the usage OF the
mace was borrowed from the English Gus
tom. H. L,ao
The first mace adopted by the house
was DESTROYED by fire when the BRUSH us ?
burned the capitol in 1914. From lSl3
nntil 1919 a mace of painted wood dld
service but in the latter year the present
mace was made after the model Oh Vhe
original one.

The bureau of forestry is considerably

BIG PUBLISHING STUNT"

With the possible exception of one,
no other book published runs into such
large editions as the telephone direc-
tory. Neither does any other repre-
sent the same amount of incessant la
Dor. and none is more accurate.
Though mistakes are liable to creep
into every human production in spite
of every precaution, the telephone di-
rectory is acknowledged to be more
free from them than any other list of
names compiled.
The telephone directory is one of the
most important adjuncts to good tele-
phone service. As the telephone sys-
TEN grew, not only in the number of
people who made use of it but in the
number of times each person employed
it. obviously it became impossible for
operators to keep the run of subscrib-
ers by name. To attempt to do so
would not only make all sorts of
chances for errors, but would serious
Iy reduce the quickness of the ser,
vice.
So, for the convenience of the large
body of telephone users-there are
quarter of a million regular subscrib-
ers alone now in the four northern
New England states-and for the sake
of uniformly good service, the New
England company was compelled sew
eral years ago to establish the prac-
tice among its operators that they
should not undertake to do their work
by name, so to speak, but must be
told the number of the telephone with
which connection was wanted.
With 10000 telephones added to the
New England system each year, it is
more necessary all the time that users
