ONES WIFE's FRIENDS.
Tho Kind That She, on Her Part. Ha,
to Dinner.

No one can remember when 1t was
that the first woman complained OF
the friend that her husband brought
home to dinner. But 1t must have
been very long time ago.
And all these years men have gone
on suffering from this imputation. 1t
has indeed been a standing joke that
no man has right to bring home a
friend to dinner that his wife doesn't
know about beforehand.
But how about the other side OF the
affair? How about the friends that
ones wife brings home to dinner? No
word of protest has yet been raised by
husbands. But is it not time that
something was done about it?
There is the old schoolmate your
wife hasn't seen for years. She comes
ON to spend couple of weeks-or
even month-in the height Of the
business season, wheD, If there is any
thing else you desire, it is quiet, and
| peace in your home.
The chances are that she is the
| incest kind of person-reeking with
culture and, doubtless, enthusiastic
about the opera-which you detest-
and the strain of appearing well be-
| fore her becomes more and more in
tense as the days roll by, until at last
| you throw off the mask and appear as
your natural self This, OF course,
calls down upon you your wife's con-
demnation, and when her friend de-
parts at last she declares, with tears
in her eyes, that she will never have
| her again"
Then there is the silent dressmaker
that your wife has at regular inter-
walls. 1t isn't exactly that she should
eat at the same time with you. On
the other hand, there is no reason why
| she shouldn't She is highly refined
and has been used to even much bet
| ter things than you are able to pro-
| vide. Then why not? And she does.
| OF course, you cannot mind about
this. 1t would stamp you as a narrow
| minded brute to assume for an instant
that she isn't as good or better than
you are AS matter of fact, this
thought has never occurred to you.
1t isn't because you feel any superior
ity that you wish your privacy. You
| explain all this to your wife, but she
tosses her head in the air and says:
IF you think you can afford to have
all my gowns made outside, why, very
we'll"
Among others whom your wife
brings home to dinner without asking
your consent is the president of the
Woman's Club. the minister's wife, the
intimate friend in the next square
whose husband is away on important
business and with whom you are
obliged to walk home afterward
standing meekly on the front porch un
til she says it's all right, There is
the trained nurse your wife had dur
ing her last illness, the teacher OF
music, who comes of a fine family
and the nice old lady who used to live
next door to your wife's mother
You smirk before them all But
when some morning you timidly as
sert that your old friend Jake Pratt Is
IN town, and if she doesn't mind you
will have him out to dine, and she
gives you a stony stare and says thai
she has put up with that sort OF thine
Just as long as she is going to- why
then-then- wonder at the ways
of Providence, and il. after all, the
ways of women are always justified.

Natural Gas For This City.

Shreveport, La., Dec. 22.-That a natural gas line is to be built to Little Rock and other Arkansas cities was evidenced here by the filing of a mortgage for $2,75O,- 0t0 by the Arkansas Natural Gas Company,a a corporation organized under the laws of Deleware and domiciled at Pittsburg, Pa. The mortage calls for an issue of 6 per cent gold bonds and is exc cuted in favor of the Colonial Trust Company of Pittsburg, which is promised as security for all the trunk gas pipe lines about to be constructed by this gas company, from the Caddo field to the Arkansas cities and all the oil and gas leases and properties now held by the com pany.
 The mortgage, which is signed by J. c. Trees and Fl. s. Grayson as president and secretary re spectively, provides that the company lay a system of pipe lines, partly of 16-inch and partly of 12-inch pipe, all from the CaddO fields.

Mjmjcrv in Fishes.

In lecture on fish photography at the Royal Photographic society's exhi- bition, Dr. Francis Ward said that the power which certain fish possessed to change their color in harmony with their environment resided in their eye. He placed a pike in such posi- tion that its head was in a dark cham Der while the rest of its body lay in bright sunshine. Although its resting place was perfectly white the pike re maine0 black in color But when he reversed its position and caused its head to be in the sun light its color changed to a very much lighter hue within the space of few minutes It was evi- dent that in fish, which possessed pro- tective powers of this kind to a great CT extent than birds or any other creatures, the light acted upon the op- tic nerve, thus causing the pigment cells all over the skin to contract or ~elax.-London Globe.

"The Be8ear Prince"

When the "Beggar Prince" was produced some years ago the producers had in mind a musical play that would appeal to all classes of theatre goers. That their original ideas and sub sequent formation of them was based upon keen observation of what the public really wants, is known by the remarkable favor with which the offering has been received all over America. The song and comedy features em- brace novelties that appeal to everybody from the most incon. spicuous occupant of the gallery to the most eXacting patron in the dress circle. There is not a dull moment in the entire per. formance, one critic character izing it as perfect cyclone of mirth and music. This is a good description, but does not state it all, for the plot sustains a pretty love story and the score embraces a number of musical numbers that are decidedly ambitious.

PRICESS NOUMA DIES
 AT HO? SPRINGS
The Smallest Woman in the World Dies Suddenly After Becoming a
 Mother.

Hot Springs, Dec. 21.-Weep- ing out his hearts sorrow over a tiny bit of bier, so small that it could be hidden by a bouquet of ordinary size, tossed across the footlights in first night per- formance, Maurice A. Growdy, a trouper, is tonight enacting a unusual role in this city. Within the little casket before him is contained the remains of his wife, known to the stage as Princess Nouma," midget of but thirty pounds in weight. Growdy is a 7-foot giant. Four years ago these extremely entrusted per- sons after having travelled to- gether in side shows and vaude vile, were married. This morn ing at S:30 o'clock, after Caes- arian operation, the little wife became mother. Three hours after the operation she fondled the dimpled little six-pound child at her side. Then the infant was placed in baby incubator for it's future development. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the hospital nurse noted a restlessness in the little mother. Five minutes later she died.
 Maurice A. Growdy, the hus- band, is 25 years of age, and from Shelbyville, Ind. His unusual size and height caused him to be attracted to the stage. Princess Nouma" was Mathilda Gaidos or Barot, Huns ary, before she took to the stage. She was highly educated, speaking French, Hun garian, Italian and English flu ently.
 Physicians say the child will live.

one MILLION DOLLARS
FOR A GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should Be q Warning to
Every Man and
Woman.

The newspapers and medical journals
have had much to say relative to a
famous millionaire's offer Of million
dollars for new stomach.
This great multi millionaire was too
busy to worry about the condition OF

end it became incurable. His misTor-
tune should serve as . warning to 9TH
ers. Every one who suffers with dys-
pepsia for a few years will give every
thing he owns for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal
state of the gastric juices. There ID
one element missing Pepsin.. The abb
sence of this destroys the function OF
the gastric fluids. They lose their
power to digest food.
We are now able to supply the pepsin
In form almost identical to that nat
urally created by the system when in
normal health, so that IL -estores TO
the gastric juices their digestive pow

THANKSGIVING.

This is the Thanksgiving time Of the
year. The date was perhaps not con-
sidered when the custom was first es-
tab.ished-it was an impromptu arfaiI
but It is difficult TO imagine more
appropriate season. 1t comes after the
harvest is over, the crops are gathered,
the fall work done--and the average
North Dahotan is in q position to more
thoroughly appreciate the event than
If it occurred at any other time.
This year North Dakotans have many
things for which they can feel grateful.
In material way the crops have been
good, and as q result there has been
general business prosperity. These are
conditions for which there is ample
reason for thanksgiving.
There have been no great or severe
storms In the state. With the sxcep-
tion OF the epidemic of infantile par
alysis in some cities. North Dakotans
have enjoyed splendid health.
The present is satisfactory-the fu-
ture is full OF great promise.
In the celebration Of Thanksgiving
this year there should be greater rec
ognition of the religious significance of
the day. Many people have come to
regard the event as one for sports and
feasting. While there should be re-
3oicing and the fullest pleasures from
the bounteous resources of the state
there are other and better things for
consideration. Higher ideals--a full
sense OF deep gratitude for what has
,een bestowed be felt by every
resident OF the state.
