Aside from the custom, 1t nearly al
ways happens, as you may know, that
the favorite boy who has become hus-
band grows rather more exclusive than
IS always agreeable to his old chums
The more charitable attribute it to the
fact that the wife is so charming that
the husband does not care to have her
good qualities shared by the outside
world. OF course there are always
people who look at the other side of
the new relationship. Maybe the wife
has evinced traits which the new hus-
band does not care to have placed on
exhibition.
Nevertheless there stands out the
frigid fact that the home favorite is
not what he was. If the wife is what
she ought to be the world never knows
why. One Of a wife's rights is to care
fully mask the shortcomings Of her
liege. People who have the gift of
looking through a stone wall and tell
ing what is on the other side of it will
tell you In confidence that the boy was
spoiled at home and that when he got
home Of his own the spelling was &C.
centuated. In fine, the fellow has
erewn more selfish. He is not like his
father, whose hospitality had become
proverb. Have you ever noticed that
the husband being treated Of is backed
Up in his manner Of living by his
Llessed mother? If the other brothers
e the family every marry they are
improvements as husbands.
What about the girl who was ia
vorfte at home before marriage? 1t
has never been explained and probably
never win be to the exacting that
when girl marries she acts as If she
knew more about being q wife than
Ter adored mother ever thought Of
EStudents Of these peculiar conditions
will tell you that if new wife i'm
lnures herself after her marriage It Is
the fault of her husband. 1t may not
slways be fair to the husband, but the
verdict is formed. and It stands until
fcath or divorce ends the tie that
i2ade one Of two.

NEED OF A PARK.
Picture That Might Be Painted of Any
Small Town.

Picture That Might Be Painted of Any
Small Town.
I. D. bort Of Flint, a.ich., has writ
ten for the newspapers OF Flint three
column letter pleading for the execu-
ton by the town of the park and
boulevard plans that have been out
lined by Warren II. Manning. Outside
Flint the interest of the latter Is only
in those arguments which have general
application. OF them the following,
which seldom has been so well ex-
pressed, is significant:
He is telling how the people woke to
the need of parks, realizing that for
all the river "and its beautiful shore
lines, both above and below the city,
for boating, camping and other recrea-
ton purposes" hundreds, not to say
thousands, of persons during the sum-
mer months, because there was no
community utilization of the opportu-
mites, poured out Of the city by train
trolley and such other means as could
be employed to seek rest and recrea-
ton in the fields or woods or by the
side of lake and stream" and that for
the same reason ''hu-creds Of others
perhaps on Sunday norning or after
noon might be seen standing about on
our business streets very often and
with very good reason bitterly COM
planning of the city's almost utter lack
of suitable public resting and recrea-
ton grounds"
This is a picture that might be paint
ed Of many small town and city
where parks would be no expensive
business and yet where their establish
ment would mean for the people a
more wholesome physical and social
life.

THE MOTHER BOY AND GIRL
Latter Makes an Ideal Wife, Former
Usually a Moody Husband.

In a household where there are sew
eral boys or where there are boys and
girls some one in the circle is the one
altogether lovely The confession does
not come from the father or mother,
but observing visiting friends to the
household realize the fact before many
calls have been made.
1t is a common impression that the
only child, whether boy or girl, soon
becomes aware of his or her impor-
lance at home. To adapt a common
expressi on, the only child is always
spoiled, and it is not always the only's
fault.
To return to the first statement,
does the favorite boy in a household
Of boys make a better husband than
his brothers, and does the favorite
girl make the sort of wife that has
been predicted before she quits home
To put it another way, does she make
Il better wife than the favorite brother
makes a better husband?
In a home OF boys the favorite is
mothers boy The other brothers are
not envious of his classification. I'm
less the favorite is an exception to the
rule he has. In the estimation Of his
brothers, an effeminate composition
The opinion may not always be just
but the favOrite carries the handicap
all his life, or at least as long as he is
under the paternal roof and under the
maternal influence. Generally the IA
vorite brother is the first to have a
sweetheart. The other brothers charge
this up to the mother. If the sweet
heart has been picked by the mother
all the greater q favorite he with his
mother. One of the inconsistencies of
the situation is that this favorite is
not always the youngest boy Of the
family. If the last born reflects any
Of his fathers traits you may be sure
that he is not the favorite.
When comes the time for the favor
lite to stand before the altar he is the
recipient Of every attention which the
family can bestow. This is not strange,
for the first marriage in a family is
the event of events, especially where
the affair meets with family approba-
ton. When the wedding is over, when
the rainbow season has passed and the
twain enter upon that period where
better and worse meet on the common
level, when the friends of the family
watch and wait to ascertain whether
the match was well mated, the test
comes apace.
There seems to be an uiwritten law
which warrants newly married cou-
pc to eliminate their former friends

Small Trees For City Streets.

John Davey Of Kent, o.. known all
over the, United States as high au-
thority ON tree culture. delivered an
interesting lecture some time ago at the
new Avondale 1Ol school under the
auspices OF the Avondale Improvement
association. Many more trees. he said,
are deformed or killed by cutting and
trimming than by letting nature alone
govern their form and growth Mr..
Davey advised the planting of small
trees instead of the larger varieties
that eventually interfere with overhead
wires and have to be either trimmed to
an unsightly appearance or entirely cut
eown.

SUGGESTIONS to r. F. D. Patrons.


If you all will excuse me, I wish to
compliment you all as patrons for the
many kindneSses ex ended us as your
carriers. I am sure there is no one
who seems more like home-folks to US
than YOU ali. But I wish to call your
attention to the following sugges-
tions. which, if complied with, will
greatly aid US in making time on our
routes, and, at the same time, to give
you more prompt and better service,
which you need and will get if the
following rules are complied with,
viz:
l. Always have your mail ready
when Your carrier arrives.
2. Buy your stamps and stamped
envelopes ahead and do not put pen
nies or other coins in your box if you
can avoid it, but should you be COM
PEELED to put coin in your box, do so
by putting the exact change on your
letter or package, as the case may be.
3. Do not ask your carrier to write
you a letter or postal card, as that
would take up too much Of his time
and, besides. he is not required to do
such business as that.
/. See that your box is arranged so
as to be easily served, without your
carrier having to dismount from his
vehicle.
5. Keep your eye on the roads, and
do your part in keeping them in good
passable condition the year around.
6. Always put your name and re-
turn address on the upper left-hand
corner Of your envelope or package.
By so doing, your letter or package
will be returned to you direct in case
it cannot be delivered to the party
addressed; otherwise, it would be
sent to the division Of dead letters,
broken open and then returned to the
writer, or destroyed.
Z. In addressing your letter, do not
write above the middle Of envelope,
so as to give room for stamping and
postmark.
8. Keep all Instructions from the
front of your box, so as to give your
carrier free access to the same.
9. Should you ruin government
stamped envelope in addressing it,
present it to your carrier, who Will
give you stamp in exchange for post
age value on the same.
10. Do not allow water to stand In
your box; punch some small holes in
the bottom Of the box, so as to let the
water out.
The above suggestions are intend
ed for your good and for the relief

of your carriers, and you, as patrons,
should use your every effort to- COM
ply with them. Just think for a mo-
ment, what has rural free delivery
done for me? Ought we not to wake
up to a sense of responsibility, and try
to do more towards improvement in
the future than We have in the past?
I believe you will agree with me, and
answer yes. Trusting that the above
suggestions will prove beneficial to
each of us, and that bright future
awaits our efforts,
I am yours very truly,

 Major Lillie was a great friend and ad- mirer of Major North He served under North as an Indian interpreter. Colonel Cody said that North was his lifetime conrade In arms and longtime partner in peace. He said that no tribute told, no matter how eloquenty put, could do jus tce to the good qualities possessed by Major North.

Safety in Railroads.

During the year 1908 not one pas senger was killed or injured on Brit ish railroads. In England, Scotland. Wales and Ireland travel has become so safe that an accident of any kind is startlingly unusual. The remark able record of a year without the slightest injury to any passenger IS certainly one of which the British rail roaders may feel justly proud.
 After contemplation of such report the natural inclination is to make an unfavorable comparison of the rail roads of the United States of America. The current year has not been marked by many disastrous wrecks, but the two or three years preceding were pe- riods of destruction not equaled in the history of American railroading. The death list, including passengers and all others, totaled more than H. GOO, while the total injured was more than 11,000.
 Of course, the vastly greater mile age of American railways is in large degree accountable for the tremendous difference between the British and American figures, but even this does not suffice to explain everything. America has gone speed mad, and the railroads are affected and afflicted.
