take place this week. The first is the
laying of the corner stone of the new
home for the Bureau of American Re-

unusual character. Twenty-one Ameri-
can republics will unite in the cere-
monies attendent upon laying the
corner stone Of the building which

country and will bring out the views
of the ablest thinkers as to the best
means of conserving the country's
sources. That great good will result

The Rev. DR.. j. L. Scudder of Jersey
City, N. j., may be most happily mar
ried, but the epigrammatic comments
on welded life he made in a sermon
to women on "How to Treat Your
Husband make it appear that he is
rather familiar with the shoals OF
matrinlony. Here are few of his re-
marks:
mo wife can be as free and
frivolous as she was before her nup
tial days. Her station demands a
certain matronly dignity
Don't DE one of those autocratic
creatures that say Marriage makes
two one and I'm the one'"
"The man who is married to one OF
those female tyrants with firm chin
and naughty demeanor has no need OF
purgatorial fire in the life to come"
a qualification of model wife is
to keep her temper and control her
tongue"
A cross, cantankerous jade loves io
give her husband piece Of her mind
and usually, like a mosaic, her mind
is composed Of many pieces"
Seeding wives live long and die
hard. They possess vitality, volubility
and sometimes vituperation'

round in his shirt sleeves and leaves
his clothes about the room when he
should put them in the closet, never

LOOK AT 1T THIS WAY ONCE.

Instead of envyng the people who wealthy and making
what they buy and subject of dissatisfaction with all Of
us, let's take up the other side of it for minute.
Instead of feeling away down in hearts that the rich
ought not to have automobiles fine residences of
pensive furniture ewarea they should enjoy extern
sve travel in the north and the SOUTH let's
look at it from another view point.
Would it not be BETTER instead Of envyng them posses
sion OF Of these things that enjoy to
encourage them to buy all they CAM
The they buy the benefit their money does the
rest Of u.s.
To make yacht automobile residence requires
lots OF work. and the making Of them great amounts wages
paid When the rich buy they are helping to
the wages They buy fine furniture for their home Fum
ure nothing but wood labor Therefore the finer
they buy, the more wages they pay.
So instead of letting feelings tend in the direction Of
wishing to limit the purchases Of the wealthy would It not be
better to endeavors get buy twice as muchY
In answer to the question, 'What is the worlds greatest
need9' Robert ]. Ingersol said:
That the rich shall be more exravagant and the moor
more economical
That appeals to about the best plan arrive at general
property division that likely reach for some time
So instead of being groucy the rich man because he
spends as much as he does let's all try get him in good
humor with himself and influence to get him to snend
more than he does.

A man up in Humboldt the other
day advertised in the papers that he
had got religion and had decided to
pay all his debts. He had had a
dream, he explained, in which God
called on him to square up all his &C
counts, and he gave notice to all his
creditors that he would settle prompt
ly upon the presentation of all &C.
counts. If there was more of the re,
ligion that prompts such deeds, auto
mobiles and yachts would multiply in
numbers.

THE MORBID in HUMANITY.

There is morbid streak in human
Ity, a love of the grewsome that is
sometimes hard to understand. Yes
terday these curious souls had a
veritable feast at the Guinness farm,
where fifteen thousand swarmed the
grounds, rioting to catch a glimpse Of
the skeletons and dismembered bod
les of the victims of this great tragedy.
Occasionally the door of the red car
riage house, where the bodies were
held before burial, would be opened
and the crowds would file in past the
door to view the CHASTITY picture.
When the doors were closed men,
women and children fought at the
windows and tried to pry open the
cracks in the boards sufficiently to
permit. a view.
Morbid crowds came in from a
radius Of several hundred miles, in
interurbans, in automobiles, on trolley
cars and on railroad excursions, max
Ing holiday of the affair. Ice cream
wagons and candy vendors were shout
ing their wares and postcard sellers
sold out their entire stock, including
chastity pictures Of the corpses after
their disinterment.
Another instance Of this morbid
streak in humanity was seen in
Plttsburg. A Salvation Army captain
there hit upon a scheme of drawing a
big attendance at a meeting by CIV
Ing something of the aspect Of a
funeral to the affair Dressed in the
garb of a corpse he paraded through
the streets at the head Of his follow
ers. Behind him came six men carry
ing coffin and following was band,
playing funeral dirges At the hall
the captain stood in the coffin and
preached TO hundreds attracted to the
hall by the spectacular parade.
1t is doubtful if his hearers were
Impressed by the preaching. They
were attracted simply by the unsual
method employed by the speaker to
draw a crowd.
1t wasn't the same with the morbid
crowds at the Guinness farm. They
were seeking excitement and they
would have been better pleased If
there had been more bodies to view,
more grewsome butcheries to furnish
them amusement.
