Those jaw Drivers Again.

Mr.. and Mrs. o. B. Landes had q
narrow escape last evening on North
Buckeye. They were driving south
about Q o'clock, close to the right
side Of the road. When near 9th
street two rigs came north, side by
side evidently racing and the Jay
drivers on the wrong side OF the
street. Mr.. Landes drew up on the
curb but his buggy was struck and
he was thrown out. Mrs. Landes
seized the reins and held the horse
until he could get it by the bit A
runaway was saved but two badly
damaged buggies resulted. This town
needs an ordinance against jay drivers
who get ION the wrong side Of the
street.
OF course the streets not being
dragged or worked after q rain II
takes long time for them to become
smooth enough to make broad drive
wsys. In the meanwhile there il
only one track like q cowpath zig
tagging up the streets which fire.
quently makes it easy to drive on the
wrong side.

The newspapers are full OF disserta-
lions on such topics as how TO be A
successful business woman, how TO be
good stenographer. how TO be a we'll
paid factory girl. how 10 be an efficient
housexeeper, how 70 be a satisfactory
cook. how 70 be prosperous dress
maker
But the question how to be model
wife seems 10 have escaped the young
women who make their living by writ
ing such articles. DO they think being
a model wife is 50 easy that no instruc-
ton IN that art is neededf Or is Il
that after woman is once married
she need not trouble about being a mod
81 wife. her chief concern being how to
make hers a model husbands
At any rate. the remarks Of Mrs.
sally Morris Cory OF New York. who is
a wife herself. on the model wife prob
lem have all the charm Of novelty. Mrs.
Cory's theory is that a woman may
best seek happiness In married life and
that II she conducts herself according
70 a set OF simple rules she viii be rea-
sonably sure 10 ind IT, She says that
the model wife viii never have an opin-
ion contrary 10 he- husbands. viii have

viii give up her family ties. for man
Is born with a dislike for his future
wife's family: viii be neat. economical,
a good cook and a good housekeeper.
II she viii attend 10 these little mat
tiers. she VIII make her husband happy
md be happy herself
Perhaps this Is true; at any rate
every man viii approve Mrs. Cory's
prescription. But win not happiness
be purchased too dearly az such
price5 Never Was there a household
where the wife did not hold opinions
different from those. Of her husband,
ana this. however hard II may be upon
domestic happiness. is a good thing for
the world. The opinion OF a good WON
an Is an Important factor In human
progress. But for that Il Is doubtful
whether slavery would have been abol-
ished but for that we should still be IN
A state OF barbarism. The opinions OF
good women, impressed upon their hus-
bands. are responsible for almost every
advance the race has made.
A wife should undoubtedly be neat.
economical. a good cook and a good
housekeeper, but she is entitled to her
own opinions and should insist upon
them always. whatever the cost TO the
harmony OF the home.-Chicago jour
nal.
