ART OF FAMILY euARRELlNo
Husband and Wife Not 70 Loose
Their Tempers at the Same
Time.

The Jarr family is closely related
to nine-tenths of humanity. And the
gentle art of family quarreling is one
that deserves the attention OF all.
Shorn of its "cuss" words and bitter
recriminations the family quarrel
can yet be made. to serve useful
purpose.
| know a man fond of having his
own way. He insists his tempera-
ment demands freedom. His idea OF
freedom is to stay out until he gets
good and ready to come home, say,
about 2 or a. m.
His wife does not love liberty-his
brand of liberty-and the Jarr fam
lily live in their house without pay
ing rent.
When the advocate of personal
freedom comes rambling home with
the early milk wagon, wife is ma
turally exasperated. To all her in

swer is Good morning, Carrie!" in
the sweetest, most urbane tone.
Now, If that isn't the soft answer
that turneth away wrath. what is?
Another branch of the ubiquitous
Jarrs has drawn up an agreement
binding husband and wife not TO
lose their tempers at the same time.
If she begins the quarrel it is hers
and he has no right to appropriate
1t to his own uses. On the other
hand, II he starts the shindig her
role is the meek and lowly.
It works beautifully, o. at least
people who have visited in the house
and studied the family jar on its own

Patience, charity, forbearance and
a number of other virtues, may be
developed through the proper use OF

Cream From Middle West.
While enlistments are being made
in practically every section Of the
country, it has been the experience of
the recruiting service that the Mid
die West has brought to the service
the best class of recruits. While they
knew nothing of the sea, they enter
the navy with good health, clear eyes,
and an ambition to learn. Many a
man enlisted from the Mississippi
valley, who never saw salt water or
anything. more nearly approaching a
man-of-war than a prairie schooner,
has within two or three years made a
record for himself and for the service
at target practice. This means hard
work and constant application; but
the lads who are drawn to the service
nowadays are not afraid Of work.

in the interior sections of the country,
especially in the broad region from
Kansas and Tennessee in the South

A wealthy Chinese gentleman who
had an only worthless son wanted
the youth to take the classical ex-
aminationss and get into the official
class. He paid for tutors and for
months his house sounded with the
dronings Of the works of the great
sage. The youth liked flying whis-
thing pigeons better than Confusius,
and as a consequence when he went
to Pekin to take the examination he
failed lamentably. .as
The father, believing that his son
possessed all the paternal traits,
again paid for tutors, and again the
house rang with the chanted wisdom
Of the Wise One. Once more after
the father had spent large sums the
worthless boy went up to the ex-
aminations and again he failed. A.
third and yet fourth time he came
back from the yearly trials with no
better showing.
At last the father lost patience and
warned his son that if he did not pass
on last trial he would expect the
body to go out and drown himself.
Once more the youth failed. The
father turned him out of the house
and ordered preparations to be made
for funeral.
When all the hired mourners had
come and the coffin had been built
