Ideal Husbands and Wives.

It may be truthfully said
that less than one-fourth OF
the women who marry know
what they are doing. They
have no idea of what their
duties are, much less their
rights. About all they know
is that they are getting mar
ried. Is there any wonder
that SO many are disappointed
and wish themselves out OF
it?
It is perfectly right that a
woman should have an ideal
husband, but more important
that she should have a dis
tinct notion of what cOnsti-
tutes an ideal wife. There's
where the trouble lies. They
all want ideal husbands. but
never seem to think that men
may want ideal wives. Men
imagine that a wife will make
them happy, and women think
that all they need to put an
end to their troubles is to
secure a husband. How sadly
both are disappointed. The
wife who expects her husband
to make her happy is fore
doomed to disappointment: SO
is the man who expects the
same from his wife. We make
our own happiness, and in SO
doing we make others happy
Whenever young women
begin trying to fit themselves
for wives then a new social

Advice $500 Years Old

One of the Oldest books in
existence is a collection of
proverbs by Ptahbotop an
Egyptian, who lived some
where about the time Of Abra
ham. Among his injunctions
is the following which we com
mend to the writer's on wOm-
mans emancipation domestic
economy, and other popular
topics, who may think that
the subjects which they dis
cuss are fresh and suggested
by the increased intelligence
of modern civilization: If
thou be wise, furnish thow
house well; WOO thy wife and
do not quarrel with her; nour-
ish her: deck her out, for fine
dress is her greatest delight.
Perpose to make her glad as
long as thou livest. She is a
blessing which her posses
sOr should treat as becomS his
own standing, Be not un-
kind to her."
This counsel is none the
less useful at the present day
because $500 years have
elapsed since it was given.

Who are DrunkardS?

Young men did you ever
think who druukards are?
Drunkards are drinking
young men grown up, if then
there we're no drinking young
men there would be no drunk
ards. But where the drink
ing young men come from!
Why of course they come
from the children. If all the
children were pledgedagains
the use of everything that can
intoxicate, there would be no
drinking young men and con-
sequently no drunkards. Re-
member that drunkards are
drinking young men grown
up, and these drinking young
men are unpledged children
grown into young men. Let
us look we'll after the child

The Mississippi Way.

John Allen was defending In the
house with unusual warmth and vigor
the manner of conducting elections in
his own state, Mississippi. He waxed
eloquent on the subject and was in the
midst Of a most forceful argument
when, noticing looks of incredibly and
amusement on the faces of some of his
colleagues, John stammered, halted and
closed with:
"Well-well, it is true that we have
fair elections in Mississippi, but every
election morning just before the polls
open we fire off few guns and can
non, just to let the negroes know that
1t is to be u fair election"

Clothinu In China.

In winter throughout the cold lati-
tudes of China the Chinese of all
classes wear fur. wool or hair lined
garments. Even the cody laborers
have their sheep or goat skins. and
people Of the middle and official
classes have many sets of garments
lined with the richest furs. In China
houses are rarely heated to the winter
temperatures Of European or Ameri-
can interiors. and in consequence fur
lined clothes are worn indoors as well

Mrs. Armstrong Dead.

Mrs. J. A. Armstrong died at 100
o'clock this afternoon, in this city
Mrs. Armstrong had been suffer
ing great pain and was at times
partially unconscious. During the
twenty-four hours previous to her
death, her suffering was intense.
The news of the death of Mrs.
Armstrong was great shock to the
people of Bemidji, the MAJORITY of
whom did not know that the lady
had been sick.
The death of Mrs. Armstrong is a
terrible blow to husband, who is
nearly crazed with grief.
At the hour of going to press with
the Pioneer, no arrangements have
been made for the funeral, but
arrangements will probably be COM
pleted this evening. when the mother
and other relatives of the deceased
are expected to arrive in this city.
Mrs. Armstrong was "a years old.
She was married to J. A. Armstrong
in February, 1906, and has made
her home in this city for several
years.
Mrs. Armstrong is survived by
her mother, Mrs Hiland, a sister,
Mrs. Alvin Gustafson, and brother,
H. Olson, all of whom live at Brain
erd and who are expected to arrive
in this city tonight for the purpose
of arranging for the funeral.
1t is very likely that the body OF
Mrs. Armstrong will be taken to
Brainerd, her former home, for
interment.
