THINGS WOMEN HATE.
Some Words Of Wisdom = EsmsIs
Would Tell Man.


Some Words Of Wisdom EsmsIs
Would Tell Man.
For better or for worse, no man
ever yet understood a woman or
ever will Men may know this,
but they do not realize It or they
never would imagine that they
could improve a woman by telling
her about shortcomings.
a woman hates to be corrected
by a man.
o man! Thoughtless, thankless.
inconsistent man! This world
would be a happier place if you
ceased to go about trying to make
women more sensible.
The sensible woman gives man
his due. She admits he IS stronger
stronger physically, stronger il,
mind. The very sensible woman
admits that he should use his heav-
en- sent power. Man should be the
wise lord of woman. he should be
her steps. Men object to the mare
who is the better horse. But wom-
en- hate to be forced to be chiefly
responsible for pulling the cart Of
matrimony.
Woman, I say-and I do not
speak as a fool-likes well enough
to be lorded. What she hates is
weakness in man. She hates lack
OF decision. Finding it, she devel-
ops into a bully. Then, if only the
poor, henpecked husband knew it,
there IS nothing in the world more
ardently desired by the pecldng hen
than that the worm should turn
and bully her and overmaster her
and force her 10 give in.
And now ! have some eight or
nine other wise words to speak to
you, 0 humorless man! And l
say to you that women like men
who do things. Unless you should
make false deduction I will put
it this way, A woman hates man
who does nothing.
1t IS given to all men to do. A
woman seldom has conjunction in
taking the money that man has
inherited and viii share with her,
but the man who cannot make
money and can do nothing but part
with it she holds in low esteem. 1t
is another example of the lacking
humor of men that they should
laugh at women who fight for the
hair of a Kubelik or kiss the
ground trod upon by conqueror.
0 man-selfsh, egotistical, swag-
gering being-listen again, and get
understanding! Woman loves You
and knows that you cannot love her
as she loves, and she likes you to
enjoy yourself and be happy.
She hates you to forget to say.
as you were wont to say, how well
her dress becomes her, how charm
ing she is looking tonight. She
hates you to forget her wedding
day-she can never forget it. She
hates you to interfere with the ba-
by, because you know nothing about
it. She hates to be left behind to
nope when you go off on your holi-
And she hates the way you
worship your pipe. 1t is not fair
that men should have always the
consolation of their pipes and WON
en- only the consolation of their
tears. Tobacco is fragrant, but
tears are bitter.-London Express.

Mrs. Peabody said, ooh, thank

Then, having performed her duty

BONA LOMBARDI.

Bona lombard, one of the most ro-
mantle characters in history, was born
in SuccO, Italy five hundred
years ago today. She was the daughter
of simple peasant family, her father
having been private in the
army. Left an orphan when a little
girl she found a home with relatives,
one of whom was curate in a small
parish.
She developed into a beauty, and all
the region was proud of her. And it
was not alone her mere physical
charms that won her the esteem and
admiration of those with whom she
grew up; rare goodness, high intelli-
gence and faithfulness to duty en-
deared her to her neighbors and
friends
Sacco was in the district of Vattel-
lima, held by the Venetians. In the
war of 1431 between Viscounti. duke
of Milan, and the Venetians, the Milan
csc troops were under the command
OF NIcolo Piccinino, a general of sig
nal ability. He drove the troops of
Venice out of Vittellina, and when he
followed the enemy to infiict fresh
punishment he left a Capt. Brunaro in
charge of camp to protect the con-
Quered district
One day the captain had been on a
hunting trip and on returning to his
camp he saw in a grove a party of
peasants who were having a picnic
The life of the group was Bona. then
Is Years old.
capt. BrunarO was struck with her
beauty, and upon talking with her
impressed with the brightness and the
keen intelligence of her conversation.
He spoke of her to several persons,
and they all Endorsed his first opinion
of the girl.
During tile summer Capt. Brunaro
was CHARTERED in the district and he
saw much of Bona. Day by day, he
became more in love with her. They
Kept their marriage a secret for some
time, and when Brunaro was ordered
away he induced Bona TO don an Off
GERS uniform and go with him He
| taught her to ride, and made her prof.
cient in all military exercises.
She fought side by side with him in
many battles, and constantly sought to
defend her husband. Upon one occa-
and put him in confinement in a DUN
geon where he might have spent the
rest of his life had not Bona devoted
herself to getting his release.
Bona at the head of troops was as
cool and collected as any old COM
mander. She could manage a 1rooI
with the same skill. Once when Bru-
marc had been taken prisoner she
| brought up some fresh soldiers, led ar
attack on the castle where her hus-
| band and other prisoners were con-
fined, captured it and released them
all.
Capt. Brunaro died in 1863 and Bona
was crushed with grief She said she
could not live without him, and began
to build tomb large enough to hold
the remains of them both
She kept her energy till this was
finished, and then she began to fail. Il
was not long before death reunited hel
with the husband she had so devoted
| ly loved.

found with the prosecuting attorney

EVENING
By...
Ruth
Cameron

You simply hold it in trust until you
can find the rightful owners.
Think over your ssessions-what
you call your possessions, 1 mean.
Is there in your chest upstairs any
warm suit or coat or dress that you
will probably never wear again?
If there is, it is your duty to see
that the one who needs that coat or
suit or dress, who needs it with the
terribly imperative need of the half
clad, shall receive it.
In these days that task is very easy.
1t doesn't require any more effort than
t. call up on the telephone anyone of
the half dozen agencies-the Saliva
ton Army, your church, and so forth
that stand ready and eager to find for
you the owner of the property that you
hold in trust.
And in proportion as the task is
easy so is the sin great if you fail to
perform it.
The days are growing cold. Almost
every day you see people shivering
under the dretched protection of
threabare and insufficient clothes.
If within your possession is any
warm clothing unused, yours is the
responsibility of these peoples suffer
ing.
You don't want to have that respon-
sibility, do you?
So go up and look over your chest
and give your worn out clothes to
their rightful owners.
And, one more suggestion-in your
sorting, don't make your definition of
worn out too restricted
Suppose you might wear something
one or two or three days this winter,
and on those days might, if you had
to- wear something else, and, suppose
some poor wretch might be kept warm
the whole winter by that garment,
which of you ought to have it?

Economy Of the Gas Range

ter for sauces. etc, and the free use
stove is an economy. The man who
came into a well-regulated kitchen
with the inquiry, Hello! Are we
burning gas or matcheS?" simply did
not know. His wife did. Turn off your
gas every time you can and remember
the parting injunction of kindly gas
man, Matches are cheaper than gas"
Putting aside the question of actu-
al waste, there is much to be learned
in gas stove cookery which may well
be gone over again for the inexperi-
enced. 1t is entirely different from that
of the continuous-p performance stove,
on whose half-hot lids may simmer
slowly the soup that-is-to-b and such
lengthy vegetables as beets and soaked
beans These and a few others of the
same sort are an extravaganza for the
users of gas stoves, unless the science
of gas-stove cookery has been mastered
and the simmering burner has been
introduced into your particular stove.
The various patents in stove plates
and utensils for the cooking of several
vegetables over one burner rank as
first aids to the gas bill, but more in
telligent methods may be employed in
the choice of foods and their prepara-
ton.
We have, for instance, the oven
which is the horror of the economical.
Half the price of a roast for the gas
to cook it," walls the unframed in the
science of ovens, but the addition of
a good many cents to the cost of the
roast is Cancelled by the fact that to-

rows, is cooked, except for a seconds

1t is bad enough to say unkind things
even true ones-about people to any,
one at all
But it is much worse to say unkind
things about a person to someone who
likes or admireS him.
The more people you can admire and
like the better it is for your own char
acter.
Admiration and affection exercise the
muscles of the SOU. Whoever seldom
admires or likes anyone viii have an
i'll developed soul.
For that reason I think it is wicked
to say anything that will tend to spoil
anyone for somebody who likes him.
An oft repeated sneer, frequent
mention of some disagreeable trait,
has often been fly in the ointment
of my enthusiastic admiration of some
one.
do not think | am less loyal than
most people, but when half a dozen
people have insisted on telling me that
the man / have admired SO thoroughly
is very stingy to his family I cannot
help wondering if he is after all the
perfect being that | painted him.
| know that some of these people
thought they did me a favor in dis
iIlusiOning me, but | would much rath-
err have gone on thinking him perfect

If you simply must say unkind things
about people, do be careful to say
them to their enemies rather than their
friends.
Did you ever realize that your worn
out clothing does not really belong to

right to leave it in your chest?
