What about the man who Is master
full and domineering?' How Is his wife
to treat him?
II she would not lose her own and
her husbands respect, she will not
quarrel, will not scold, will not nag.
She need not resort to means which
are beneath the dignity Of refined
woman.
Let the wife appreciate that she Ii
her husbands equal, his friend, his
partner-not his slave nor his toy.
The main point is not what Is asked
by the man. but how 1t is asked. We
have not SO much to do with the mat
ter Of the demand as with the manner
Of It. Every dutiful wife has right
to exact q courteous manner and gen.
tlemanly speech from her husband.
To attain this end she will discour.
age at the outset any rough language.
One bride, within a month Of her mar
rage, showed with gentle dignity
that she would allow nothing but
courteous treatment from her liege
lord. They were entertaining a few
friends In their new home. The bride
made statement which the husband
contradicted. She hesitated a min
ute, then said, gently:
John, think that was the way
that happened. I may, however. be
mistaken"
The savage, latent in every man
sprang-as is frequently the case,
without sufficient cause-to the front.
Mistaken! You are not only mis-
taken, but you are talking like a
fool!"
The thoroughbred wife controlled
all evidence of agitation except her
rising color. Tactfully changing the
subject, she chatted pleasantly on un-
til the last guest had departed. Then,
as her husband, forgetful Of what had
happened, and quite his usual good.
natured self again, turned to her with
a smiling remark, she said quietly:
John, dear, there is a little matter
I want to talk to you about. Sit
down, please, here on the sofa, by
me-"
And as he, wondering at her grav-
Ity, followed her suggestion, she con.
tinued:
Dear, you know that l love you,
and that / would bear anything that
was necessary for you. But there is
one Unnecessary thing that l cannot
promise to bear, and that is rudeness.

not to do 1t, and he is ashamed Of
himself. This modification must be re-
pressed in order to insure mental rest,
and so he puts on a bold front and
bluffs It down. an act which stimulates
his egotism and hardens his heart. He
becomes proud, cold and brutal. All
his finer feelings die.
Confession Is also a necessity for
the injured one. We are so made that
injury hurts. The soul suffers as the
body does. Pain is the fundamental
element In self-preservation. II It did
not hurt to be insulted and wronged
we should become the passive victims
Of injustice and wrong. It does hurt
and this hurt has but Q single healing
lotion. We dream Of relief through
revenge, but It Is only q dream. Re.

Is only one balm. and that ls the 40
knowledgment Of the wrong by the
one who has indicted the wound. Moth.
ing IL more mysterious and wonderful
than the curative power Of confession.
It soothes the pain.
But forgiveness Is as imperative a
necessity as confession" II is pass
ing strange, but It is unequivOcally
true that a quarrel cannot be made up
without free pardon. The heart that
has been hurt can be relieved and re-
stored to its original state Of good win
only when that divine sentiment has
exuded, as gums exude from wounded
trees. The bitterness Is drained out
by the act of pardon. II You refuse
to forgive you win feel unworthy and
he unhappy. And as for the one who
has acknowledged the fault, nothing is
more certain than that he win be ex-
asperated by your not forgiving him.
This spiritual confession and par

enon In nature. II Is the cure for all

Of performing these two sublime acts

sweetest experiences Of their lives

Just as divided electric currents re.

through confession and pardon. And

The Marriage Vow
MANAGING TYRANNICAL HUSBAND
BY MRS. VIRGINIA VAN DE WATER.

I am not used to It. married q gen.
tleman, not a boor. So, John, dear.
you must not speak to me again as
you did tonight, II am to continue to
love you and respect you. You and
are equals, husband and wife, not
master and slave. I know you did
not mean what you said. But you
cannot say such things to me. / could
not resent It where our guests were.
But 1t cut me-and, dear, 1t disapoint-
ed me. / am sure, knowing this, you
will not make that mistake again"
But suppose he is, at heart, the
beast above suggested. Only one
course remains. When wifely tact,
love and pleading, followed by judici.
GUS silence, have availed naught, let
the wife systematically set about
learning not to care.
/ see the shudder Of shocked dis.
may with which the model matron
meets this suggestion. But still
maintain my stand. When wife has
done her duty toward her husband
failing in nothing that can make him
happy and comfortable-and he still
treats her brutally, complains continu-
ally, is perversely unjust to her, and
eternally nags at her. let her summon
all her tact to avoid occasions for
1.-The enemy to blaspheme," continue
to do her duty, and then gather up
what is left of her life. There 10
something in life besides a husband
and a husbands approval. Let
our disappointed wife live for them
and in them. Let her allow the side
of her heart with which she would
grieve over her husbands injustice
be 80 full of that which is worth all
of life that she cannot take time to
brood over her great sorrow. She still
owes the man her duty, her fidelity.
and, If she be good woman. she will
pay what she owes.
Can she be happy? That depends
upon the woman. II she be one OF
the women of whom the Irishman
spoke as ''three-halves mother" she
will be almost content. The part of
her that longs for husbandly sympa-
thy, for the ideal understanding that
may and does exist in some lives,
will go to her grave hungering. Many
widows know the same longing, the
same hearthunger. To the sensitive
soul their lot may seem easier than
hers. All, well! for both there is q
world that sets this right!

Where sittlnq Bull Was.

Dakota, says of Sitting Bull and the
Custer massacre! THE Indians tell
me that Sitting Bull was medicine

reason Of his constant agitation
against the whites, and that he did
not personally engage in the light
against Custer, but that he was back
on an elevation between the Little

Walters in Southern Hotel Shoot Crap.
 to Wait on Him.

From the New York World.
 Comptroller Metz has had the rare dis iinction of being the stake in craps game He returned from the south a few days ago. At the hotel he stopped at in Savannah he followed his Waldorf training and gave the negro waiter 50-cent tip at breakfast, 50-cent tip at lunch and a 50-cent tip at dinner.
 This liberality stirred up sensation and the next morning new waiter served him.
 Look here" he said to the negro. "I gave that other waiter $1.50 yesterday and don't like the idea of having a new waiter thrust upon me every day."
 I'm going to wait on you right along boss" said the negro. "I hope you won't be mad, boss, but we shot craps for you last night and I won"
 "In ante-bellum days" said MT. Metz "the white men in the south played poker for negroes. Now the negroes shoot craps for white men"
