SOME MARRIED MEDITATIONS
BY Clarence L. Cullen.


Favorite feminine Bromidion: "All
men are perfect boobies when they're
sick abed."
The man who permits his wife to
designate a certain little spot in the
house as the one place in which he
shall smoke deserves all that he gets.
and he never fails to get it.
Slathers of married women get in
bad by needing the queer advice of
Lady Pensmiths (mestly spinsters),
whose dictum is that the proper way
to hold a husband is to hold him at
arms length.
The highly exalted faithfulness of
women often is matter of plain pol
icy. Plenty Of careless men would
strictly toe the faithful mark If their
reward for so doing were to be agree
ably taken care of for life.
The man who knows the difference
at sight between s25 embroidered
shirtwaist and one of those cute lit
tie ruffle-front s1.48 shirtwaists usu-
ally is male person whose opinion
isn't worth valuing anyhow
1t is the woman who shrieks at
Central" through the iihone and calls
her a saucy hussy and such like who
wonders why 1t is that telephone girls
are so much more polite and prompt
in responding to mems calls.
Familiar quotation: "Oh, I've got
plenty of leftover summer clothes,
dearie. All I'll need to exc out will
be a few little linen suits and seven
or eight more shirtwaists and three or
four summary hats and some tan and
champagne-colored shoes and a new
supply of silk stockings a few
little odds and ends like thosei"
Did you ever feel kind of emery
and things with yourself when, after
blowing $7.S5 on a bunch of cheer
full workers, you went home and found
her lacking some frizzled old sweet
peas on a last years hat frame?
Extract from The Dairy of a Neg
lected Wife" "'Tis now midsummer,
and my birthday is in December and
my husband hasn't said one word
about it yet, nor what he is going to
get me. Gracious power, give me the
strength to go on enduring"

GETS OPTION ON TROLLEY LINE.

La Crosse Water Power Company
Said to BE After Street Cars.
Following several unsuccessful efforts
the La Crosse Water Power Company
controlled in the East, has secured a
ninety-day option upon the lines and
property of the La Crosse City Rail-
way Company at figure said to have
been made attractive since the recent
strike. Representatives of both con-
Germs are understood to be in the East
closing negotiations. 1t is denied that
the water power company has secured
options on the La Crosse Gas and Elec-
trio Company, but the fact that the
latter concern has signed contract
with the water power company for all
current sent there from the big Hat
field works, indicates this concern may
soon be absorbed also.

More than She Could Bear.

Marion was little American girl
of six years. For three months her
mother and aunt had dragged her
through the museums and art gal
leries of Europe
She was made TO look at the slip
pers OF Marie Antoinette. the prayer
book of Catherine de Medici. hats of
Napoleon and endless numbers of un-
interesting Madonnas. These. her
mother told her constantly she must
remember. for when she grew up she
would realize how famous they were.
At last Marion rebelled She re.
fused TO go 10 a world-famed mu.
scum. After much persuasion. she
yielded upon one condition.

said. "if you'll promise never again

varied. and his efforts in behalf of
international peace and of the aboli-
ton of war have been noted. In Wash
ington he was as deeply beloved as IN
Boston. where practically all OF his
life had been spent and where he was
held in veneration The world Is the
richer that he has lived and is much
the poorer that death has claimed him,
after a useful. upright and honorable
life of 81 years!
DR.. Hale was born In Boston In 1892
and graduated from Harvard In 1899.
In 1912 he was licensed TO preach by
the Boston Association of Congrega-
tional Ministers, after which he spent
several years in ministering to various
congregations. passing the winter OF
1S44-45 in Washington. His first regu-
lar settlement was in 1916 as pastor
of the Church of the Unity in Worces-
ter. Mass. where he remained until
1856. In that year he was called TO
the South Unitarian Church in Boston.
where he vas pastor for so years.
Early In life Dr. Hale engaged in
Journalistic work and before he had
attained his majority contributed reg
ularly to the Monthly Chronicle and
Boston Miscellany. While connected
with the advertiser he began histori-
cal studies For six years he was the
papers South American editor and
was regarded as an authority on
Spanish American affairs.
DR.. Hale's influence was extensively
felt in all philanthropic movements
His book, Ten Times One Is Ten.
published IN Boston in 1870. led TO the
establishment of clubs devoted TO char
fly. which became scattered through
out the United States, with chapters
in Europe, Asia, Africa and Islands OF
the Pacific. He also took great In

nounced. as 1t has been often predict
ed. that he will insist on his resigna-
ton.
There are three essential elements
in the German financial situation:
ID a rapidly increasing expenditure
far outrunning the actual income; ca
a rapidly growing debt, from which
in great part current expenses have
been met; CD a system OF taxation
wholly unequal to annual require
ments and framed largely to benefit
the land owners on the one hand,
while leaving their property largely
unburdeDed on the other. The chief
objects of expenditure have been pub
lie works. especially canals, the army
and Notifications and the navy and
a good deal of money has been spsnt
much of Ii wasted-on the various
colonial enterprises. which have been
very costly. and only recently show
any signs OF paying for themselves.
But, as in every other modern coun-
try. there has also been in Germany
a strong tendency toward general in
crease In the scale OF expenditures.
Living has become much more costly.
The old German thrift and economy
are disappearing, all branches of the
public service are more expensive and
the treasury has for years been I'M
able to make both ends meet. The
gap has been filed by borrowing. The
most powerful and prosperous nation
of Europe has been for long while
in the humiliating position OF depend
ing upon the money lenders TO pay
its day-by-day requirements. Natur-
ally. its credit has suffered and il has
to pay more for its loans than many
a third-rate country.

FORTUNE FOR MISSING GIRL.

Katherine Jordan of kenosha Dis
appeared in 1903.
In connection with the settlement OF
the estate of the late James Jordan,
a former prominent farmer in the
town of Salem, interesting facts were
brought out in regard to the disappear
ance of Katherine Jordan, his daugn-
ter, who has been missing since 1903.
The young woman had gone to Duluth,
Mimi, for visit with friends, and
disappeared. For some time the fam
lily sought to find some trace of the
girl, but after a couple of years gave
up in despair. One-fifth of the estate
has been set aside for the missing
daughter, but if she cannot be found
within another year it is planned to
have her declared legally dead and the
estate will be divided among the other
heirs.

Legislature Spends Nearly 5000 In
Pay for Chaplains.
According to vouchers filed in the
Office of the Secretary of State, over
$500 was spent at the session of the
Legislature to pay for prayers. On the
basis of the total membership this
amounts to the rate of $3.50 in pray
ers for each member. If the member
ship of each House is considered sep
arately, it cost the State for prayers
for the Assembly 1910 each and the
Senators $3.50. The pay roll OF the
chaplains was turned over to Secretary
of State for auditing. Each minister
received SO a day for offering prayer
In the morning. The minister who will
receive the largest amount is Rev,
Thomas Foulkes, who receives $156.
The smallest amount goes to Rev. How
ard Gold, of Madison, secretary of the

NEW LICENSE rs NECESSARY.
Attorney General Gives Opinion oil
GuIne Hesitation.

Attorney General Gives Opinion on
Game Legislation.
Even though their licenses were
marked in red ink subject to change"
by the game warden department, fish
ermen on the Mississippi River who
took out licenses under the Old law
cannot claim protection or credit in
any way under the new law. Such is
the opinion of Attorney General Gil
bert in response to an inquiry from the
game warden department. The Attor-
ney General says the new law does
much more than simply increase the Ii
cense fees. 1t in fact entirely repeats
many portions of the laws of 1907 and
makes entirely new provisions, partic-
llarly relating to the catching of rough
fish. Licenses granted under that law
are therefore revoked and afford no
protection to the licensee.
