How to Choose a Wife.

"W neither a mans life be mar
red or made depends on his choice
of a WIFE"
The Rev. j. l.. Thompson, pas
tor of the Forest Avenue Chris
-tian church, Kansas City, gave
out advice from the pulpit ON how
to choose a wife, recently.
"In choosing" he said, "a man
should use more sense than SEN
timent-but don't altogether
overlook the matter. 1t is gen
orally conceded that love has
POOR eyesight and naturally you
can't depend on it altogether,
The results OF these senseless mar
riages clog the dockets OF the
divorce courts. And it Is q shame
to this country that the question
OF marriage and divorce are often
treated fAppantly.
more essential than beauty In
a wife are the qualities OF frugal
fly, good tssnper and housekeep
ing ability. The divine mission
and right OF woman Is to create
and sustain the atmosphere OF
homeland whatever the wife Is,
that Is your home"

Found a New Negro Tribe. )

New York, Dec. IA strange
tribe OF negroes with a language
of their own has been discovered
in South America by Lieutenant
r. w. Wymans OF the Dutch navy.
The officer arrived here to-day
from an expedition to heretofore
unexplored parts OF Dutch Guiana
The negroes were encountered
after the explorers had gone 100
miles up the Surinam river and
then cut across country to the
boundary between British and
Dutch Guiana. The tribe appear
ed never to have seen white men
before and while perfectly black,
we're not OF the thick Tipped type.
After considerable effort their
language was found to be a mix
ture of several European tongues,
Dutch, Portuguese and English
predominating. Lieutenant wy
mans was OF the opinion that
they were descendants OF slaves
who had escaped from the coast
doubtless many generations ago
Gold was found to abound in
the country, but c%ataracts and
othcr natural features OF the
sort were found that would prove
serious obstacles to the opening
up OF the land.

Safe Blowers Make Haul.

The store of Harrison. Tucker & Co, general merchants, at Bolding. Ark, a small town, four miles west of Felsenthal, on the E. X B railroad, was entered Saturday night and the safe blown open and completely footed. At least $150 in currency was secured. The safe and surrounding stock and fixtures were damaged to the extent of probably $500 more. There is no positive clue to the perpetrators, but party of six or seven well-dressed strangers, evidently not of the common tramp variety. were noticed cooking their dinner out in the woods only a short distance from the town There is some reason for suspecting that this was the party of crooks that did the work. They scattered apparently, and have not been seen since in that vicin- ity. The work was done in a man. her that stamps it as a job of expert "yeggmen." Nitroglycerin was prob ably used. as particles of soap were blown all over the office.
