DON'T TALK TO ME.

A Friend Who Sometimes is Badly
Spoken Of.
"Don't talk to me about coal" That's
what everybody feels, if he don't say it.
Nobody likes to buy it or bother with
it or dispose of the ashes. Still it's
mans greatest friend at this stage Of
existence. 1t gives more comfort than
any one thing he buys. He gets more
in bulk and it's cheaper than any other
thing. Just now its cheaper than any
time of the year. You save 8 per cent
on your money.

ly old he-bears, may kill numbers of

gan this hog killing just as soon as he
left his den. In the summer months
they find little to eat, and it is at this
season that they are most Industrious
in hunting for grubs, insects, frogs and
small mammals. In some neightbor-
hoods they do not eat fish, while in
other places, perhaps not far away,
they not only greedily eat dead fish,
but will themselves kill fish if they
can find them in shallow pools left
by the receding waters. AS soon as
the mast is on the ground they be-
gin to feed upon it, and when the
acorns and pecans are plentiful they
eat nothing else, though at first ber-
ries of all kinds and grapes are eaten
also. When in November they have
begun only to eat the acorns they put
on fat as no other wild animal does.
and by the end of December a full
grown bear may weigh at least twice
as much as it does in August, the diff
ference being as great as between a
fat and a lean hog. Old he-bears which
in August weigh 300 pounds and up

cember. weigh 600 pounds, and even
more in exceptional cases.

into loving his wife more. 1 am will

creatures as women themselves, un'
sympathetic in small things, often
blind, and that they may easily be ex.
asperated into small brutalities OF
speech. If a woman refrains from ex.
acting devotion, and is unswervingly
kind and unselfish, a husband who has
any affection for his wife at all can be
left to look out for doing his share.
He will look out for it anyway; no
one else can make him. Neither tears

criticises Aid Given Schools.

William H. Allen says: "The fact
that s62 1000, 900 was given to the So
called institutions of learning in 1907
affords no guarantee whatever that
these funds will not substitute mis-
education, rather than promote right
education. The Rockefeller founda-
ton openly takes the ground that in
many cases gifts to colleges and
schools postpone the recognition Of
the truth that the beneficiary has out
lived it's usefulness and offers poorer
education than another institution
within 25 miles equally needy but
incomparably superior in equipment
and staff. So far as the Carnegie
foundation (1905). for pensioning col

hey go. it is no more educational than

does not marry with the idea of secur-
ing patient chattel with enough in
telligence to work for him, wait on
him and minister to his physical de-

American husbands are proud of
wives who succeed in the business,
professional, artistic, literary or dra-
matte world; who attain positions of
prominence in philanthropic, educa-
tional, or reform organization, or who
are possessed of any special ability or
knowledge.
In the conservative countries mar
riage is all important to a woman and
of secondary interest to man. The
stories end with the wedding of the
heroine, for it settles her career. She
is now merged in her husband and no
more is expected or heard of her.
Meanwhile the man pursues the even
tenor of his way, his marriage being
but more or less important incident.
But the American woman's growth
of interests outside of marriage has
increased the Importance of marriage
to men. The more developed woman
of the United States touches her hus-
bands nature at many points and fills
larger place in his life He discusses
public affairs with her, confides in her
the details of his business, asks her
opinion, and frequently follows her
advice. In matters of common inter-
ests her wishes carry equal weight
with his. In brief, the American wife
holds position in the respect as we'll
as the affection Of her husband that
makes the American man a proverbial
matrimonial prize
OF course, all American women are
not free, respected and happy. There
are wives in the United States who
are bullied and Dossed, treated with
contempt, beaten and even murdered.
But in these also are many instances
where, so far from the wife obeying,
the opposite extreme almost holds

The Australian women are treated
with the utmost brutality, beaten and

trivial provocation.
Few women will be found upon ex-
