DiScuurteOuS Husbands.

We recently heard a woman re-
mark: Il suppose my husband is as
good man as ever lived. but bis
mother did not train him to be
courteous to ladies His sisters Were
his slaves, and thereby be is spoiled
as husband. | wish [ could train
several hundred boys to be husbands
for the next generation. Do you
suppose they'd consider it their pre-
negative to drive the girls out of the
easiest chair. take the sunniest cor
ner OF the room, the best place by
the light, throw books, papers or
slippers down for some one to pick
up, grow up with the idea that q
wife must be valet and the rest OF
the household stand respectfully by
to obey orders? You smile, but this
is anything but a subject to laugh
over. I really believe that husbands
lever think that their unkind words
hurt. They don't realize the differ
cnce. to us--for instance in their
manner when they come to elmer.
All day the wife has been alone with
the servants and the children, and is
more hungry for kind word from
her husband than an .epicure feast
He comes in just as the dinner bell
rings. For wonder, dinner is once
ready on time the husband says.
Couldn't he have saved the heartstab
by saying That's pleasant sound
TO hungry fellow. And If dinner is
not quite ready, why need he say,
OF course not; never is. In working
notices for the home, why hash t
SOM one taken Wesley's remark, I'd
as soon swear as fret, instead of
hanging up, Il Need Thee Every
Hour. OF course men appreciate
their wives, but they too often keep
their polite manners and courteous
ways for others. /"

If some of the weeklieS would eX-
pend the same amount of steam put
ting real live readable matter into
their columns that goes into the Con-
tests which they work so hard to
pull off, they would in the long run
find their subscription lists enjoying
a much better boom. Its the news
attractively gotten up and always on
deck that wins the way of paper
into home, not some trivial premi-
um or chance of rare possibilities at
some big present; the Contest or
premium rachel will pull them some
times, will they prove stickersis the
question, and could you not have
captured them anyway with the
proper presentation constantly Of

The Brookhaven Leader sounds

viding for submitting Prohibition
Amendment to the Constitution to
the people in the Fall Election of
1910. AS the Leader very truthful
ly observes, this was pretty near
promised by the same Legislature
at it's former session, but for rush of
time and other contending issues it
was showed aside. The friends Of
measure land they are legion) should
now firmly contend for it's adoption.

MED. Lets fasten that thing into
our organic law so that we can go
onto the next thing on the Prohibi-
tion Program without any uneasi-
ness about seeing part of the work
already accomplished undone by
some fckle-minded subsequent leg
islature.

Some editors in this state seem
never to get an idea OF any worth,
except econd-handed. This thing
of playing second-fidd to some. big
man for whom an insane admiration
fills you, rather smothers the origi-
nality in any writer. We admire all
men who have forced their way into
the thinking world by their superior
attachments, but we do not acknowl-
edge that Vardaman or any other of
the Big-bugs of Mississippi have pre-
empted all the ideas. The way some
of them grab up and run with the
striking things he and others of the
forcetul public men of our state, he
minds us of bunch of little pups
running up and grabbing G bone a
piece when some one shakes out a
plate.

We want girls of sense, girls who
have a standard of their own, indie
pendant of conventionalities and are
brave enough to live up to it: girls
who simply won't wear a trailing
skirt on the street because fashion
duplicates; girls VINO will don what is
pretty and becoming and snap their
fingers at the edict of an ugly style.
We want good girls, girls who are
sweet right straight out from the
heart to the lips; innocent and simple
minded girls with less knowledge, du-
plicity and eyil-doing at % than the
pert little school miss of ten has now
days. We want careful girls and
prudent, who think enough of the
generous father toiling early and
late to maintain them in comfort or
of the gentle mother denying herself
much that they may have pretty
things, to take care of their clothes
and draw the line sharply between
the essentials and the non-essentlals
of their needs; girls who strive fully
as hard to save as they do to spend;
girls who are unselfsh and thought
full and seek to be joy in the home
rather than expensive burden.
