Aronson with trembling lip told a
hard luck story about being discharged
as a travelling man In Winnipeg be-
cause he was too old. There he met a
woman who proposed they should GO
TO Chicago together to find work.
When the couple arrived In Chicago
Aronson failed to secure employment
he said he had pawned his watch and
overcoat, and in order to keep from
starving he accepted money from the
woman. He did not know how she
was earning the money until he was
arrested. Technically, he admitted. no
was guilty OF violating the immigra-
ton law. but he was really guiltiess.
However. he would talse HIS medicine

ON CHOOSING A WIFE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE
Copyright. 1908. by American Press
Association.

Nothing is better established by hu-
man experience than that, other things
being equal, a wife will make or mar
q mans whole life.
Therefore the wisdom of a careful
choice.
Firstly, as the preachers say
Do not expect to find perfect wife.
AS the Irishman put It, she has never
been born and her mother Is dead.
Even could you find the perfect wife
she would soon become imperfect by
association with you.
But If you will permit plain speak
ing there are some things that may
be considered In the choice Of a wife.
Let us take the matter negatively.
Do not marry for mere beauty.
Beauty OF face and form are nothing
without beauty OF character. II you
can get both, well, but external beau
ty without a beautiful inner spirit
may prove a snare. Vanity Is the
weakness Of external beauty. and van
ity In a wife Is a menace to marital
happiness.
Do not marry for money.
If other essential qualities go with
1t. money Is no drawback. But money
cannot buy domestic happiness, and
1t may be the means OF much strife.
Select a wife who Is prudent and
thrifty, and she win help you make
your fortune.
Do not marry a foolish woman.
silly, superficial wife may easily
In fhA
are many difflculties-especially IN the
earlier phases-of married life that
require large common sense and good
Judgment. The foolish woman Is a
poor partner
Do net marry a lazy woman.
An indolent, lounging girl is apt to
make a shiftless, slouchy wife whose
household will always be In disor-
der. Nothing so takes the heart out
OF man as a lazy wife.
Do not marry an unhealthy woman.
Marriage makes demands on phys
ical strength. The siclkly, nervous girl
is likely to develop an invalid wife, a
husbands greatest handicap. No man
mas right to make a drudge Of his
wife, but he cannot hope to succeed
MS helpmeet develops chronic III
ness.
Let us put the whole matter affirma-
lively.
Choose n wife who is wise, indus
trious, healthy; wife who will help.
wife who win be kindly and pa
uent, wife who will grow IN COM
radeship, wife who will be gentle
and generous and ovr,Do+Ao.s-
last, but not least, n wife who will be
affectionate
Commonplace qualitiesf
Surely. Nothing is said of brilliap-
cy, or social graces, or ability to dress.
or conversational requirements.
These gifts are worth while n ,c-
companied by the substantial quail
ties or wifehood, motherhood, woman
hood.

SHUT YOUR ASH PAN.

The dictatorial legend has flashed
across your window and has set you,
wits Into a puzzle. What Is the sig
nihcance OF an order SO utterly for
eign to ones knowledge OF his personal
anatomy?
lt is easy when you comprehend.
smut your ash pan" is a direction Is
sued to the engineer OF your train and
means what IL says.
There Is an ash pan under tho boile,
or his machine which when open
strews embers along the =. roadbed.
The sign Is standing order and
means that his engine is approaching
q wooden bridge.
It Is warning to the engineer. He
must shut OFF the ash pan lest tho live
Goals set fire TO the timbers of the
bridge.
The sign would make q mighty good
motto for "some people" Including
present company.
For Instance:
There Is a strained situation be-
tween two people, OF whom you are
one The situation Is comparable TO
the engineers approach to the wood
en- bridge. At such n time be very
careful or your words. Words are
Ike live Goals. They are likely to
start a fire. The fire may flame mn
Into passion. quarrel, a clash. In
1udicious expressions may set the
bridge on fire.
Shut your ash pan.
Or there Is little trouble. a trivial
thing, between husband and wife.
one OF them forgets about the ap-
proach to the bridge and drops a fiery
word There is q retort In kind. The
nre flames up. The outcome is es-
arrangement and observation-disclosures
Oily separation or divorce.
How much wiser to have read the
warning sign and. approaching the
danger signal. do as the engineer
does
Shut the ash pan.
What lot. Of daily friction IN thu
business world might be saved II men
would train themselves to look out for
the warning sign and shut the ash
pan!

LIVING AS JESUS wovIp

1t Is easy to ridicule the movement
OF those young people OF Cleveland
D., who undertook to live for two
weeks as Jesus would If he were face
TO face with modern problems.
Or the $500 who pledged themselves
none fully succeeded.
But the fortnight OF Jealous striving
toward an ideal was an experiment I'm
concrete righteousness that was well
worth while.
To err Is human.
None OF these young people attained
perfection Some, starting out with
honest hearts, early fell by the wav.
side. Others persevered, stumbled on
and did the best they could. Two
score OF these followers of the Christ
told in meeting how the effort had
frightened and ennobled their lives.
1t Is easy 10 say, 'srhe ideal was too
high"
All ideals are too high for human
realization. When IN ideal is realized
1t Is no longer an IDEAL. When one
oeaI Is reached another and higher
ideal takes its place
And thus does each new vision lure
to brighter worlds and point the way.
The movement was successful. IL
richly paid the young men and women
who tried It.
The movement was helpful. Hun
dreds have lived nobler and purer lives
because Of 1t.
Every striving toward an ideal. ev-
cry effort FOR self hetterment. richly
pays the individual and the COM
munity. Cleveland is a better city to-
day because the moral standard has
been raised.
Even individual disappointment In
well doing has Its important lessons.
disappointment reveals the weak spots
In character.
The vital thing In this Cleveland ex.
pertinent Is this
In trying to live as Jesus would un-
der like surroundings a call was made
upon the finest and best that wns In
these young people. They were cry
ing to respond 30 the Hottest demand
that can be made upon human beings.
And whatever happens under that
high call men and women are made
better and happier by earnest response
to such call.
We all have our dreams.
But there are few Of US who DELHI
erately go out to make our dreams
come true.
That was the very thing the Cieve-
land young people tried to do. They
tried to do great things, not dream
them NIL day long.
Let ms who are content to dream aud
hope and who are too cowardly to put
our dreams to tho test be slow to
eriticise.

is WOMAN OLD AT FoaTy7

A Chicago young woman's club has
drawn the line OF membership at forty
years OF age. When a member crosses
that line she becomes an honorary
member only.
u q woman old at forty7
THESE Chicago women have partly
answered that question. They fought
vaiiantly against being declared old.
but they were outvoted.
Whether or not a woman is old at
forty depends.
II depends upon the woman. Some
are old at thirty. others are young at
nrty. 1t is not true that a woman ia
as old as she looks" for some mature
danes. by ways that are cute and
tricks that are wise, make themselves
look like girls.
a bright old lady OF seventy was
asked her age. She promptly replied
Thfrty-nve." Afterward she added
The house / Hive IN is older than
that"
Age ss thing or the spirit. not Of
TIE fesh. To renew the spirit is TO
renew the youth. Loss Of spirit "a
loss OF life. Old age Is loss of spirit
That woman who has lost the zest
OF life. whose youthful spirit has been
dured. Is old. whatever her years.
At forty woman should be Mt her
best. She has learned by actual expe
rience the things OF life that are worth
While. She has had tho chance To
profit by her mistakes.
II woman ever learns the nb,Ioso-
phy OF life she has learned II at forty
She has discovered the difference be-
tween the real and the artificial. and
only the real engages her attention.
The woman OF forty has found thar
certain things are bound to bappen
and that she cannot help their happen-
ing. And If she has learned wisdom
she has made up her mind to take
things as they come.
The woman of forty should learn TO
look for the best Of life. II she looks
Tor the best she will find IL. II she
looks for the worst she will find that

The woman who is determined IN
Keep the fine edge OF youthful en-
ceavor and the ine flush of youthful
