The Honeymoon.

mOOQs lever SUlll Will UdhC LII.
Most young people think,
"Well, it is hard if we may
not be left to ourselves at
such a season." And yet,
perhaps, if we took the ex-
perience of the many on this
subject, they would admit
that the honeymoon has been
the time of all others when
they have been the least able
to help themselves.
Is it too much to say that
during those two months the
happiness or the misery of
two yonng lives is very near
ly settled. Well, perha ps
that is too much to say, for
errors and misconceptions
may be lived down, and habits
may be formed or broken
after the honeymoon, in the
course of years. But still
much is often decided, we
will not say in the first few
months, but even in the first
few days. Little things are
decided in little ways, and
neither understand that cit
is the little rift within the
lovers lutte" that has begun
to show even on the first day.
Patience on both sides is
ueeded-but especially on
the mans side, for he is the
stronger vessel, and knows
life. At the bottom of her
heart his young wife wants
to please him; but she cannot
bear him out of her sight
he must account for every
moment. His ways are in
comprehensive. Why does
he want to 60 out for an hour
after dinner for a stroll
Why does he prefer spending
an hour or two down stairs
with an old friend at night
to going up into the drawing
room. Why does he want to
see the papers at the club. in
stead of going out, after a
hard day in the city, for a
little shopping? Man is a
mystery to many a young
girl for the first few months
after marriage. She has not
learned that a mans interests
are and must be various.
We hear a good deal about
incompatibility of temper
we believe very little in it.
The sexes are almost indef-
nitely plastic. People quar-
rel more from errors of judg-
ment than from any other
cause. You can live with
anybody if you understand
him, and you can manage any
body if you know him, pro-
viding you mean well, have a
decent heart, and are willing
to be patient and to make
some sacrifices for love.
Newly-married women are,
no doubt, very trying some :
times to their husbands; but
it is the fault more of their
social training and the want
of education than anything
else. Men should remember
how much a girl has to learn,
and how much, alas. most
men have to unlearn, when
they first begin the married
life. We venture to say that
if all newly-married couples
were to make a contract not
to quarrel for six months they
would seldom have any very
serious quarrels in after life.
You can get into the habit
of living peacefully and hap
PLY, and that habit is quite
as difficult to break as any
habit we know of. Let there
be no long pOutingS let there

A Coco Daughter.

There are other ministers
of love more conspicuous
than she, but none in which
the hearts warm requitals
more joyfully respond. She
is the steady light of her
fathers house. Her ideal is
indissolubly connected with
that of his fireside. She is
his morning sunlight and his
evening star. The grace,
vivacity and tenderness OF
her sex have their place in
the mighty sway which she
holds over his spirit. She is
the pride and ornament of his
hospitality, and the gentle
nurse of his sickness. For
tunate is the home in which
is a good daughter.

ECHO OF DRUCE CASE.
Several Witnesses Are to Be Tried for
Perjury.

London, Jan. 13.-The bruce case
promises to bring in the spring an
aftermath of sensational charges of
perjury against several persons who
were connected with the hearings.
A witness in the case who calls her
self Miss Robinson was brought into
police court today. The chief detec-
tive of Scotland Yard asserted that
instead of being a spinster, the
daughter of q Virginia planter, she
was in realty the daughter of a
London policeman.
On the stand this woman testified
that she had been brought from
America by Charles Dickens to act as
secretary to the Duke of Portland and
T. c. bruce. The Inspector declares
that Miss Robinson spent her earlier
years here and that she married a
butcher with whom she went to New
Zealand. The prosecutor said he ex-
peoted to prove that Miss Robinson's
entire story was a tissue of false
hoods. The prisoner was renanded.

this part Of the country that 1 wear
when in Alaska with the exception of
fur gloves, heavier foot and head
wear and I have felt the cold more
than when in the northwest.
This is caused by the moisture in
the atmosphere and the fact that
there is not breath of air stirring
when the mercury Is low in the
north. The summer season about
Dawson is delightful and though the
more than a foot or such matter
nearly all kinds of vegetables are
grown, the country producing a fine
grade of celery. Potatoes and all
kinds of vegetables are grown in
abundance and the grains which ma
ture during a short season are also
grown during the short summer sea-
son.
1.-The summer season Is one of all
most perpetual daylight and during
the season of long days in the states
during the latter part of June the sun
may be seen during the "a hours of
the day. When the dark or night
season of winter sets in there is not
the intense darkness found in the
states as the ground is covered with
snow and the moon shines brightly
nearly all of the time.
During the summer season the
men work until they are tired and
then sleep until they feel like work
ing again, being paid by the number
of hours they are employed at actual
labor. There is one beauty about the
country at any rate to the man who is
employing laborers. There is no
Sinking while they are on duty as
the temperature Is such that they
prefer to keep hard at work, and
warm to Sinking and freezing.
1.-THE trip over the trail is fraught
with dangers and particularly so If
made after the streams begin to open
in the spring as the Yukon, Pella and
Stewart rivers must then be crossed
in small boats. These are sometime

lost as there is small chance Of q man

Coffee Finally Had TO 90.

The way some persons cling to coffee
even after they know it is doing them
harm, is a puZzler. But it is an easy
matter to give 1t up for good when
Postum Food Coffee IS properly made
and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been suf-
fering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drin liking
coffee.
'One day I asked her why she did
not give up coffee as a cousin of mine
had done who had taken to Postum
But mother was such a slave to COT
fee she thought it would terrible to
give it uS.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum so fee
ly and with such relish, l asked for q
taste.
That started me on Postum and I
now drink it more freely than 1 did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"A girl friend of mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and. asked if It
was coffee. l told her it was Postum
and gave her some to take home but
forgot to tell her how to make it.
THE next day she said she did not
see how could drink Postum. / found
she had made it like ordinary coffee
gave her a cupful I made, after boiling
1t fifteen minutes. She said she never
drank any coffee that tasted as good
and now coffee is banished from both

The Problems:
Why is a Legislature2

Is it worth that much to the pee-pul
to elect Stubs and make all other

pie him onto a strong ticket?

ton has made arrangements for this
emergency?

petition should get in early and avoid

Although the matter has been ex-
haustively explained to this depart
ment by a number of unemployed poll
ticians, there are still some doubts left
concerning the workings Of this guar
antee deposit business. The clearest ex-
PLANTATION was made by Governor
Haskell Of Oklahoma, and from it we
gather this sweetly solemn thought:
Jones, Brown, Johnson and Smith,
each rent q quarter of a certain section
Of farm land Jones, Brown and John
son each raises a crop. Smith plays
poker and pinochle with friends, and
the cockleburs play Leavenworth with
his crop. AS a result he doesn't raise
bantam hen. Presuming that Smith is
insolvent, and owns nothing upon which
the owner Of the property can levy,
does this leave said owner Out in the
Cold? Not any. Said owner has made
arrangements, towit: a guarantee de-
posit law. He simply adds SO and a
third per cent each to the rent of his
other three tenants, and Gets His. This
is of Great Benefit to the three diligent
agriculturists, and to the farming bust
ness in General. Smith loses nothing,
because he has nothing to lose,-but
the principal emergency is met with
ease. The Owner loses nothing Jones.
