CHOOSING A HUSBAND.

Do you ever stop to think, my girl,
how easy 1t may be for you to make a
great mistake in choosing husband?
You are naturally attracted, 1t may
be, to a young man because he is good
looking and overlook the fact that his
character is weak You esteem him
because of his snowy qualities and
neglect to take into account the quail.
ties that endure.
And just there you may make a great
mistake.
The careful young man will not err
in that way. He may be fascinated with
a girl because she is pretty or viva
cious, but if she is irresponsible or
whimsical he does not want that kind
of girl for a wife. He is looking for a
womanly girl, one fitted to be a good
wife and mother.
The wise young man may be allured
somewhat by the maiden whose chief
charms are handsome features and fig
ure and fascinating ways, but when he
seriously thinks Of marriage he will
choose the girl who will make a good
housekeeper and good mother.
Can you afford to be less careful?
Here, for instance, Is young fellow
with ordinary face or. it may be, even
homely features, but he Is strong,
manly, sensible and affectlonate. In
other words, he has In him the making
of a successful man, a good husband
and father. His qualities are not of
the dazzling sort. He does not shine
in a social way, but he has the virtues
that will stand the wear and tear of
daily living
You cannot afford to turn down that
kind Of sweetheart.
Here is one who is quiet and, 1t may
be, little dull. He appears at dis
advantage by the side of the empty
hearted young fellow who is glib of
speech and sure of himself. But the
former has qualities that will endure.
He may be a little slow. but very sure.
And in the long run he may go ahead
Of the more witty, easy hammered
youth. He has MORAL STAMINA,
the chief thing in a man.
Don't reject him because he is not
brilliant.
The unworthy and the adventurer
may have charming manners or appar-
ent refinement
The greatest mistake you can make is
TO turn away from the clean, strong
hearted young fellow who is poor or
awkward and take up with the weak
man. however talented and accomnlish
ed he may be.
What you want in a husband is a
MAN.

This Is an editorial about one who
used to be man.
He is now millionaire.
This man began his business life
without dollar. If, as some one has
said, "a man Is worth only So day
from his shoulders down and 500 a
day from his shoulders up" this man
at first was worth only So a day.
After awhile he began to use his head
to work from his shoulders up.
AS soon as he got to working from
his shoulders up he began to work
others. He learned how to make
money grow money. He was smart
enough presently to corner some spe-
cial privileges that the man who works
with his hands never gets. He monop-
olfzed opportunities. After that he
began to get rich quick. In a little
while he was a millionaire.
And there was the mans wife.
When he was just beginning to do
things with his head he married fine
girl, who, like himself, was poor. She
worked hard, denying herself. She
saved and shaved and lost her beauty.
What mattered it? They were getting
rich. They would enjoy their pros
perity together.
Then this man became a thing.
He looked into the face of his wife
and saw that her beauty had faded.
She did her best to please him, but the
old charm was gone. And one day
this creature In male garments hap
pened to bump into a girl who was
artful, fascinating and pretty to boot.
She looked at him and smiled. He
was hypnotized and finally undone.
He would have this woman. He would
buy her. He was rich enough to do so.
And thus the plot thickened.
The male creature sent his lawyers
to the old wife, who had literally given
herself to him, body and soul, and Of
fered her much money. The lawyers
told the wife her husband had no fur
Their use for her Then came the di-
vorce suits and the scandal. Finally
the millionaire went away with the
pretty woman. And almost every day
the old wife cried.
Who is this fellow with much money
and no soul?
Turn to the commercial reports of
Dun or Bradstreet and read over the
list of millionaires quoted there. If
you will pick out some one at random
you will scarcely fail to find his name
and address,
He is now a millionaire.
He once was a man.

Indian Cure For Cancer.

The Chinese and japanese surgeons
cure cancer with a common weed. A
small cone made of the dried leaves
is placed on the diseased part, which
has been previously moistened, and is
lighted at the top, when 1t burns down
with a temperate, glowing heat and
produces a dark spot, the exulceration
of which is promoted by the applica.
ton of small quantity Of garlic. The
ulcer is kept open or healed as the
indications of the case require.
Apropos of this oriental cure, the
American Indians undoubtedly came

he burned out the sore wide and broad
and deep, then applied his RENE

the wound. The patient recovered

She says there will be no happier citi-
Zen in the heavenly country than these
prisoners of SEX"
Well
There is no denying the fact that the
average woman's life is largely given
to ceaseless drudgery and monotony
The doing of the same thing, mostly in
the same way, day in and day out and
getting nowhere comes to be an actual
tragedy.
You see
The rooms once swept clean must be
swept again. The dishes that are
washed after breakfast will be dirty
after dinner. Things will not stay
clean. And the victuals that are cooked
for one meal will not suffice for the
next If only the stuff could be piled
up for installment consumption!
But
Come to think of 1t, the life of most
men is also largely made up Of drudg-
cry. They are perhaps not so much
tied up to traditions, but they are
bound to a system that kills, machine
that brushes. Few of them but are
broken more or less by this mental or
physical routine.
Indeed, it is the remark of foreign
observers that American women are
better off than any other women In the
world and that American men are the
hardest worked men In the world.
The difference Is here:
Women are more ideallstic than men.
Drudgery tells on them. The daily
round frets their more delicate nature.
There is more poetry in their souls
1t Is difficult for women to get over
the idea that life ought to be all sweet
ness and unalloyed happiness. And
there is so little poetry in peeling pota-
toes!
Woman needs some outside interest
land there Is where the much abused
woman's club comes I'M to save her
from the nervous tension of doing one
thing all the time.
And by the same token
So does the man who lives a life of
drudgery.

He was a Mexican.
He was a laborer
He wore ragged clothes.
He was also hero.
Philip Ortiz, Mexican laborer, was
employed as section hand on the
San Francisco branch of the Santa Fe
railroad. One day after working on q
piece of the track one man of the
gang whose business it was to remove
from beneath the rails a heavy jack

full wreck. Without considering his
own peril he leaped fearlessly on the
track, hastily jerked the jack from its
place and hurled 1t aside. The next in

cut to pieces.
The train swept on, its occupants

by the side of the track. On board the
limited the passengers chatted and
lolled and read and smoked, totally ig-
norant of the fact that the section
mans life had been given for theirs.
Well, he was only "a greaser."
But there's more of 1t.
Down in a small village in Mexico
the man had a wife and children. AL
though a peon, he was unusually intel
ligent and very industrious. He was
constantly receiving letters from home
and was very proud of his little family.
He had saved from his meager wages
quite a sum Of money. He intended
going back to his home town in a few
days to engage in business and to edu-
cate his children. He was
But II you can't see the pathos, the
pity OF 1t all, why tell more or picture
the grief In the little Mexican hut?
Is your heart big enough to respond
to the heroism of a Mexican peon?
Is your mental horizon wide enough
to know that God hath made of one
blood all the nations to dwell together
on the face of the earth?
Can your soul feel thrill of pride In
the death sacrifice of a brother in

Then take off your hat to the bloody
bundle of rags by the side of that rail-

Mexican once beat the true heart of
one of Gods own heroes.

DISINHERITING A CHILD.

Some years ago the father of min
lister disinherited his son because the
| latter changed his denominational
creed, quit one church and went into
the ministry of another.
BY the recent death of his mother
this minister received the share of. the
estate to which he was originally en-
titled.
The incident raises the query:
: Has any father the moral right to
disinherit a child?
Which raises another query, Who
is responsible for the child's being in
the world? Certainly the child came
without it's own consent. 1t was not
consulted. 1t is not responsible for It's
birth.
Manifestly the parents are RESPONSE
BILE. The child comes into the family
by invitation. 1t Is entitled to all the
rights and privileges of the family.
Whatever estate may be accumulated
belongs to the entire family. Each
child is entitled to a share, and justice
dictates that the property be divided
equitably.
1t matters not what the child may
have done. 1t cannot disinherit itself.
The fact is our Inheritance laws
need reformation. Those laws had
their origin in the old English juris-
prudence which recognized not only
the right but the duty of the father to
practically disinherit all the children
of the family save the eldest.
Our laws ought to be changed to cor
respond with the moral sense Of our
day.
A man may say:
1.-THE property hold is mine. l have
made it. l have conserved it. Shall l
not do as like with mine ownT
The man is mistaken. The property,
in the true sense, is NOT his own. The
property is simply held by him IN
TRUST for the Emily of which he is
the head He has no more MORAL
RIGHT to divert any legitimate share
Of that property from any member of
the family than he has to spend that
property in riotous living.
And yet
Every little while one hears Of some
father who has disinherited his child
because the child happens to differ on
some point Of religion or politics or
business or who marries against the
fathers wishes. or any number Of in
consequential things.
1t Is not right.
IT Is wicked
