As TO A MODEL Wife.
Male Members of Philadelphia Con-
gregation Express Their
Views.

Philadelphia Record: Some inter
esting masculine Views as to what
constitutes an ideal helpmate were
stated Sunday evening by the Rev
DR.. Forrest e. Edgar of st. PauPs Re-
formed Episcopal church, who preach
ed on A Model Wife. At his request
various male members of the congre-
cation sent hims letters expressing
their opinions on this interesting sub
ject and these he read, to the great
wonder and edification of the large
number of women present. Some OF
the views expressed follow:
An ideal wife will not spend S25
a week on a $40 salary.
One who does not harass the life
Of her time gadding with the neigh
bors.
One that has the breakfast dishes
washed when her husband comes
home for supper.
One who keeps her home neat and
tidy.
One that who does not harass the
and soul out OF a man.
One who enjoys his prosperity and

adversely, and helps to make the home
happy.
One who thinks more of her chill
dren than a bull pup.
A woman with more gray matter in
her upper story than red paint on her
busy-body face.
A woman who dresses we'll is re-
membered more for herself than for
her clothes.
A woman who cares more for her
home and children than for afternoon
bridges and parties.
A woman who realizes the value OF
peroxides as disinfectant, not as q
hair dye.
A woman who does not consider her
home complete when it consists of
herself, her husband, and a dog.
A woman who reads, understands,
and obeys her Bible.
DIR. Dagger in his sermon advocated a
combination of the ideas presented.
Especially should a woman be neat
and tidy, keep herself neatly dressed,
always have the meals ready when
her husband arrives home, love her
children and home, read her Bible
faithfully, and go to church regularly.

NO STRAIGHTFORWARD.

The demonstration made this year of
the agricultural possibilities of Alaska
may serve to quiet the alarm Of a
failing food supply.
Vegetables raised in the Tanana
valley, within two degrees of the Arc
tic circle, have been placed on exhi-
bition in the eastern states SURPRISING
the products of some of the famous
market gardening regions both in
quality and yield. There are potatoes
weighing three pounds each, which
would take the premium for quality
at most any county fair. The yield is
said to. be as high as $40 bushels to
an acre.
There are cabbages, turnips, beets,
mangels, carrots and parsnips, all
larger and finer than the average
There are also fine specimens of wheat
oats, barley, timothy and red-top hay.
Although the growing season up in
.that latitude IS snort the crops can
be raised in much shorter time, owing
to the prolonged sunshine of the sum-
mer day.
1t may be said that the products of
Alaska will never make much impress
sion upon the worlds food supply, but
Alaska is not the whole story. There
are immense northern areas in Cana
da and across the straits in Siberia
tat will, with proper cultivation, pro-
duce food in great abundance. The
distribution of this food will be a
question of transportation, which is. in
the way of being solved by the projec-
ton and construction of railroads
through regions which were formerly
supposed to be regions of eternal snow
and ice
A large percentage of the arabic sur
face of the earth is as yet unvexed by
the pillow. The time when the popula-
ton will outrun. the means of subsist-
ence is many generations ahead of us,
and may perhaps never come, as by
the time the land is all occupied in
tenser cultivation may indefinitely in
crease the yield of the soil.

is a page made up Of some of the
homes in Walla Walla valley. The
churches are touched upon in the
tenth section, while the eleventh Sec
ton was the children's delight-"the
funny paper"
Although one marvels at the size
of the publication there are many
ways of Illustrating it's size even
more astounding. The publication
consisted of 80 pages, or 644 columns,
and if each column were clipped from
each paper and placed end to end
they would reach 12,2OO miles, almost
half around the world, or more
than twice across the United States.
There were 1880 lines Of type in
each paper and if these were-placed
end to end would reach almost four
miles. If the printed surface could
be strung out seven columns wide, it
would make walk 1,152,000 \ feet
long.
The paper carried 80 full page adj
yertisements and over 100 local ad-
vertisements, besides the readable
classified page, were represented and
each had special message to the
thousands of Sunday Union-States-
man readers.
This bit of enterprise will not only
be read by people in this valley, for
already hundreds of orders have been
received to have the paper sent to
many far distant points. The issue
will go to one or homes in two-thirds
of the states OF the Union, and many
into Canada and Mexico. number
have already been mailed to Europe
and four go to far off Australia.

BELLINGHAM JEWECLER is
LOSER $500 BY BURGLARS.

BELLINGHAM, Dec. 13.-The theft
of $500 worth of jeWelry was discov-
cred this morning by Wilbur Gibbs, a
West Holly street, jeweler, when he
reached his store The establishment
had been systfatically looted by the
burglars, and everything not under
lock aid key had been taken.
This is the fifth Of q series of burg
laries in the city, all committed within
the last week, and the local police
have as yet been unsuccessful in ira
cling the perpetrators of the crimes.

ness. This carries control, under state
laws, of nearly half a billion, paid into
the company's treasury in premiums
and held to secure policies
Competition of high finance for con-
troll of these assets brought on the life
insurance scandals of several years
ago. Young Mr.. Hyde had no taste
for business and Mr.. Hartman wanted
access to the funds. The company's
officers resisted interference with their
own control and the whole story of
use of these assets in speculation came
out. But it must be said that the
Equitable made no worse showing than
the mutual companies.
When the latter were reorganized
by the state legislature, it was ar
ranged that Mr. Ryan take Equitable
control and turn it over to three trus-
tees, two of whom survive Grover
Cleveland Now that the scandal has
blown over, control has passed to Mr..
Morgan who will probably terminate
the trusteeship as he terminates his
voting trusts when he is ready to take
a property. Then the assets will be at
his disposal, as Mr.. Hartman so earn
estly desired they should be at his.
But what is to be said or done
about it? If these huge trust funds
are to be accumulated, they must be
invested, or interest will be lost and
premiums must be raised to make up
for it. They can be invested only by
men in large business, with both op-
portunity and experience. Some of
these men are more trusted by the
public than others. with or without
reason Probably, for example, policy
holders would rather trust their assets
to Mr.. Morgan than to the late Mr.
Hartman.
Some insurance experts insist that
the conformation Of responsibility in
stock ownership is sounder life insur-
ance than the mutual. However, such
strict control as is now enforced by the
New York law is wholesome for both.

KEEP COOL.

The right of every man to his opin-
ion cannot be denied. But when that
opinion takes him beyond his own
rights, and interferes with those of
others, it, is time some check is put
upon his actions, if not his opinion.
The local option fight in the city is
case at point, and several cases have
already developed in. the situation
which do credit neither to the VETS
nor to the 'drys.'
Saturday night a man called another
man liar, and a small sized tempest
in an understood teapot ensued The
man who was aggressor was an audi
tor of the other mans speech: but be-
cause their opinions differ, there was
no excuse offered for the breaking into
the speech. Because the auditor did
not believe the speaker was right was
no reason he should start something"
especially when it appeared he could
not finish it. Maybe it wasn't his
meeting).
A certain show window in town has
some exhibits that point directly to
one side of the question. The exhibits
are disputed by the other side as to
fact. And the crowd around the WIN
dow has had some heated arguments
in one or two cases nearly resulting
in fisticuffs.

All this has nothing to do with the
arguments for either side. It is apart
from that The citizens of Walla

let each one remember that, and let
each one remember that he has no
right to interfere with anyone's belief
Keep cool. Hands off. If you can't
keep still, at least keep cool When
this fight is over the city will have to

Walla Walla have had issues before
which have divided them, and which
they have forgotten by the mutual in

So in this case. When the smoke of
the battle at the polls rolls away one
week from tonight, whether the fight
goes your way or the other, forget it.
Vote the way you believe, try to con-
vert others if you wish. But don't get
excited and do something which you
will regret, that may open a wound
that will take years to heal.
You must meet the day after and
shake hands and work for the best
