How to Make A GOOD Wife Unhappy.

See your # tat I'D G
Ii she IS warm hearted and cheerful
in temper, or if, after days or q
week S absence, she meets you with
a smiling face and in an affectionate
MANNER, be sure to look coldly upon
her and answer her with monosylla
bles. If she forces back her tears and
is resolved to look cheerful, sit down
and cape in her presence, till she is
fully convinced of your Indifference
Never think you have anything to do
to make her happy, but that her hap
piness is to flow from gratifying your
caprices; and when she has done al
woman can do, be sure you do not
appear gratifed. Never take an in
terest in any of her pursuits; and if
she asks your advice, make her feel
that she is troublesome and imperti-
nent. If she attempts to rally you
good naturedly on any OF your pecu-
liarities, never join in the laugh but
frown her into silence. If she has
faults (Which, without doubt, she will
have, and perhaps may be ignorant
of never attempt with kindness to
correct them, but continually OBJ
trude upon her ears: What a good
wife Mr.. Smith hasP' How happy
Mr.. Smith is with his!" Any man
would be happy with such wife.
In company never seem to know you
have a wife Treat all her remarks
with indifference. Be very affable
and complaisant to every other lady.
If you follow these directions, you
may be certain of an obedient and
heart-broken wife.

WHAT ABOUT THE HOUSED

Referring to tariff revision bills
Representative Dalzell. Republican, Of
Pennsylvania, and a member Of the
ways and means committee OF the
house, is quoted by the Associated
Press as saying:
This multiplicity of bills and reso-
lutions does not scare anybody. There
is no change in the situation" he de-
clared. "At the commencement of the
session the ways and means commit
tee determined that there should be
no tariff revision at this session.
Nothing has occurred to change that
decision and 1t stands"
eat the commencement of the ses-
sion the ways and means committee
determined that there should be no
tariff revision at this session. Nothing
has occurred to change that decision
and 1t stands" But what has become
of the house of representatives? Has
it, under the Republican party, ceased
to possess the power delegated to It?
Is mere committee to issue DEGREES
such as Mr.. Dalzell describes?

"REST AND PEACE AND REAS.
SURANCE."

In a letter addressed to the New
York World, Grover Cleveland Of
Princeton, N. j., said:
Our people need rest and peace and
reinsurance; and it will be quite in
line with true Democracy and success
full policy to impress upon our fellow
countrymen the fact that Democracy
stands for those things"
Yes, rest and peace and reassur-
ance! And for all of that Democracy
stands
But that does not mean reinsurance
to the men who manipulate the money
of insurance policyholders or the
wealth in the public treasury. II does
not mean that they are to enjoy rest
and peace so long as they persist in
their evil practices. 1t does not mean
that the American people are to be
asked to close their eyes to these in
EQUITIES or, through an appeal to a
false conservatism, grant immunity
to those who conspire against the
public welfare.

WHO PAYS THE BILL?

The American Protective Tariff
league has issued circular No 216-
which shows that the league has issued
good many circulars beforehand
this circular is in the form of a letter
asking for the name and address of
one person who will cast his first vote
in the presidential election in 1908.
The league wishes Ito forward litera-
ture on the subject of protection"
and wants the home address" only.
1t costs money to keep an office on
Broadway in New York and furnish
literature on the subject of protection.
The Protective Tariff league has for
a good many years been sending out
this literature, and those who get 1t
are helping to pay for it. Like the
tariff tax, the payment is concealed,
but somebody must pay it. The pro-
tected industries have used small
part of the money that they get from
the people to pay for the literature
with which to send out arguments in
support of protection. The Protective
Tariff league, however, is more inter
ested in the voter just now than it is

How to ENLARGE Girls, Clothes.


The momentous question of altering
and lengthening girls skirts is a never
ending problem. OF course IL there Is
a hem it should be let down as first
means. A few years ago it was not
nearly so difficult to- lengthen a skirt,
as one could use ruffles, fiounces and
yokes. Yokes were probably the most
popular method. However, In this day
when neither yokes nor flounces are
worn and when ruffies seldom are, n
amounts to quite perplexing question,
says the Chicago Tribune. A 'ess OF
plain colored material may lie length.
ened by letting in bias bands Of plaid
If the dress is laid, bands of plain col.
ored material may be used. A color
should be chosen which matches one
of the colors of the plaid. The width
of the band should be determined by
the number of inches you desire to add
to the length of the skirt. Decide
where you wish to place the bands
and then cut the skirt there. Stitch one
side of the band to one side of the cut
part and stitch the other side to the
opposite part. This will lengthen the
skirt the width of the band. When
two or three bands are used the skirt
will then be the desired length.

after the election, for after the cleo
ton the voter is completely ignored.
The beneficiaries of protection are
deaf to the entreaties Of the masses on
the subject of taxation. When 1t is
proposed to put upon the free list Inn
ported articles which come into COM
petition with articles controlled by the
trusts, the Protective Tariff league Is
quick to protest. When the Demo
Gratis talk about reducing all schedules
which are above 100 per cent. the
Protective Tariff league resists the re-
duction of 120 per cent. duty, for the
protection of the Standard Oil Com
pany does not disturb the Protective
Tariff league. 1t is looking at the
question from the standpoint of the
tax-eaters, but during the campaign
it is quite anxious to spread its litera-
ture before the taxpayers. 1t ought to be
put on each piece of literature: This
document is paid for by the protected
industries which have been getting
the benefit of the high tariff"

FauIt.Finding.

Don t get in the habit of it. It's
the easiest thing to. do and the hard
est thing to stop in the wide, wide
world. 1t ruins your temper and
spoils the shape of your mouth. Try
and see the good rather than the
disagreeable in the people and your
surroundings. You would not go to
a friends house and find fault with
what she does and with what she has
and her ways of living. What right
have you, then, to find fault with
those who are more than friends to
you; the people of your own blood?
If there is a grace that are all stingy
with, 1t is that of giving praise, and
yet it is one with which we ought to
be lavish. Why should you tell your
friend that her bonnet is unbecoming
and when you have never said this to
your sister? Why should you go
out to tea and praise your neighbors
mullins, when you have forgotten TO
tell mother how good hers were?
Why should you announce how much
Mr.. Wilson over the way knows,
when father is a great deal better in
formed man, and it has never enter
ed your little head to whisper quiet
ly to him how much you appreciate
his wisdom? You keep your ability

begin to dump in immense stones TAX

level course is made of these, and then
another layer Of somewhat smaller
stone is dumped on.
Then comes a still smaller layer, and
then, last, the stonework is leveled up
and all openings are filed in with very
small stone, so carefully and thorough
ly placed that animals can be driven
over without hurting their feet Then
the rock is entirely covered and the
road finally shaped up with a good
layer of "hardpan," which packs solid

Drainage at each side Is always pro-
vided for, the roads are well rounded,

solid foundation Of rock underneath

How Chicago Millionaire Uses Rocks
on His New Hampshiro Farm.

How Chicago Millionaire Uses Rocks
on His New Hampshire Farm.
J. Glessncr, the Chicago millionaire,
Bethlehem, N. H., for the last twenty
four years, is rapidly attaining fame
as road builder says a Bethlehem
correspondent of the Chicago Record
Herald. He is now able to show three
miles Of probably the finest road in the
White mountains, all within or adjoin-
ing his own estate and all public road,
although it was all built or built over
by Mr.. Glessner at his own expense.
During the late autumn he had con-
structed a half mile Of road on the
main highway from Bethlehem to Lit
Teton and during most of that time
had crew Of seventy men, thirty
horses and twenty oxen engaged on
the work. Part of this road looks like
pictures of the modern French or the
old Roman roads, and 1t is built fully
as solidly as the Roman roads used to
be-in fact, after the same plan.
The most important work done on
the Littleton- Bethlehem road by Mr.
Glessner this year has been an ex-
tensive fill of quite stretch Of road
over some lowland where bad travel
ing had generally been the rule. At
the lowest place the road was filed in
six feet with stone, and the stone
wall on each side was carried three
feet higher, the wall in places being
ten feet higher on the back side, or
side toward the fields. The wall is
three feet wide on top and is strong
ly built.
The road is twenty-five feet wide be-
tween the walls, and four teams by

international Road Convention,

1t is announced that the minister of
public works of France has been au-
thorized to call an international con-
vention in his country In 1908 for the
purpose of considering methods to pre-
vent roads from being damaged by ex-
cessive automobile traffic The use Of
the automobile, it is claimed, has pro-
duced many new problems in connec-
ton with the splendid roads for which
France has become famous, and plan
for their construction and maintenance
is deemed necessary. The delegates
will therefore in particular discuss
methods Of adapting present roads to
the new conditions of traffic.

for postponement of tariff revision

Vice-President Fairbanks said: I'VE

may require revision Immediately fol-
lowing the coming national election

Well, why not revise one or two
schedules before the election In order

Why not revise the wood pulp

How to Treat waxed Floors.


Those who have waxed floors In
their dwellings know, according to In
doors and Out, how invaluable turpen-
tine is in cleaning them. With sand
paper or steel wool, dipped in turpen-
tine, the blacklist coating, which is apt
to accumulate in winter on waxed
floors not frequently polished. can be
easily and quickly removed. and q
washing with turpentine does much to
brighten up any waxed floor prepare
tory to the application of a light fresh
coat of wax and polishing with the
weighted brush. As with all other
painters materials, however, turpen-
tine is shamefully adulterated, and
care must be taken to get only the
best and purest from some thoroughly
reliable dealer. The usual adulter-
ant is cheap benzine. and as benzine
turns good floor wax dirty white tur-
pentine so adulterated has an injurious
effect on the floor The floor wakes"
made with tallow show less effect
from adulterated turpentine, but the
wise householder will use only those
floor wakes which are made with bees
wax and turpentine, with little par
affin, but no tallow.

PLANTATION. The figure is based on an
estimate that our family will average
one trip per day to town and that
there is an average of ten other teams
per day passing. For good measure /

Hon. Matt Hall, now warden of the
Missouri penitentiary, was a wood
dragger before he left the farm. In a
published statement he tells of begin
ming his work in deep mud. In two
months he had half mile of road of
which he said: II can hardly believe
my own eyes when / look at It. A
loaded wagon won't make any more
impression on it than it would on a
floor. / don't believe / have spent a
half a day on it altogether, and, hon.
estly, | wouldn't near take $50 for the
comfort 1t has been to me and my
friends and neighbors" You will note
that Mr. Halls estimate of benefit is
about double mine
A comparison was recently made
which showed by figures taken from
many counties and from Maine to

much Lcaefit as several hundred dol
lars spent the old way. II is hard to
