GIVE YOUR WIFE
 A LONG VACATION
She Gets Tired of Your Pres-
 ence At Times
SHE NEEDS FREEDOM
A Divorce Filed Away In Handy Place Is Good Harmonzer Between Man and His Wlfe-WouId Solve Divorce Problem.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 "I know about a dozen married women among my personal friends" said Har- riet Johnston Wood at the New York Woman's Press club last week, ''who say they wish they could live alone for a time, and since I have heard their views I have begun to see right here the solu- ton of the divorce problem.
 You see, men have liberty and women have none. Men are materialists and women idealists. While women kept to their own viewpoint 1t was all right-or 1t was all wrong. But women are devel- oping so splendidly that they are gradu- ally getting a mans viewpoint. which is that of the individual. All these women ask is that they may be permitted to live alone for a time without having the sit- uation attended by any scandalous gos sip. They want to have a kind of vaca- ton, and still be on perfectly friendly terms with their matrimonial partners. To have ones husband on ones calling list would not be so bad. You see, there are so many things doing in the woman's club world nowadays that women are full of ideas and business affairs, and 1t has grown to be a regular tax to have to be at home when HE gets there.
 "One woman l know says she just longs to be alone by herself, and to know ab solutely that her privacy Is not to be in- truded upon. She says she is so tired of being relative to somebody that the sit uation is already on her nerves.
 Another woman tells me she has been the partner of her husbands woes for so long that she would like to try being the partner of his joys for time. She would like even to give some one else chance at his grouches, and take a turn at a few good times which she is sure they could have together if he would only get over the habit of telling her of his complaints whenever he comes into her presence.
 q knew couple who grew so tired of each other that they got a divorce and put 1t on the top shelf in the closet and then went on living again. That paper lay on the top shelf for 12 years and was a regular family harmonizer. The know- edge that each could get out at any time they wanted to simply solved their prob lem.
 Men get to be so commonplace that they bunch their wives in along with their mothers and sisters and other fe- male relatives, and the women get tired of it. This idea is dangerous. It Is the divorce leaven that, given time, leavens the whole loaf.
 "If women could have a vacation from duty once in a while, and have 1t in them to enjoy the temporary freedom, it would do society a lot of good, for the women get to be quite as commonplace, if not more so, than the men. A two years vacation before the formal filing of the divorce papers would come near to solving the divorce problem

CHERRIES ON RosEBUsH.
Crimson Rambler Acquires Freak Hah
 It None Can Explain.

From the New York Press.
 c. H. stiefel, whose home is at Fair view and Gardner avenues, not far from Seton Hall college. South Orange. owns a freak rosebush. Instead of bearing roses 1t Is white with cherry blossoms He is hopeful 1t will bear a large crop of cher ries. He says he has no idea what caused the bush to go off at such flower bearing tangent. He has not grafted or budded 1t, or done any of the other for icultural or horticultural stunts which Luther Burbank, the California wizard, does. It Is natures work from start to finish, and the young cherries already have begun to form.
 It is a crimson rambler rose. Several years ago 1t was planted at the foot of a cherry tree in the Stiefel garden. Now 1t is well up the trunk. Never before has it borne cherry blossoms. Last year, and the year before that. 1t was afiame with roses The display was so handsome it attracted much attention and Stiefel gave away hundreds of the blooms to friends and neighbors.
 This spring the rosebush put out it's leaves and buds the same as usual. stiefel congratulated himself he soon would be in the rose dispensing business agaln. r1o Wdb surprlneu Wnen ie went into his garden a week ago to discover the bush covered with white blooms. Rub ping his eyes to ascertain whether he had been stricken with color blindness, he hurried to it. The blossoms were white all right, and his surprised in- creased when he discovered they were cherry blossoms
 Neighbors were summoned and a con sultation was held. Nobody could explain what caused the phenomenon. One horti- culturist suggested that the bush fed on che sap of the cherry cree until its entire nature was changed.

Signs and Expectations.

From Judge.
 College boys, in spite of their great in tellgence, consider it a certain sign of bad luck to be called upon to recite in a study concerning which they know ab- solutely nothing. With tho same class of men the loss of a race by an eight-oared crew is ominous of long walk to be taken before long.
 Many people of the same general be- lief differ in many respects to their super stitions. For instance, there are many democrats who believe it bad political omen to walk under a Bryan banner in a presidential campaign.

Coyote, Texas Boys Pet.
From the. Dallas News.

From the Dallas News.
 A pet coyote belongs to Roy Galloway, Dallas boy, who declares that coyotes can be made tanner than dogs. This par ticular coyote came from Stamford, In western Texas, when 21f months old. It Is now a little over a year old and fully grown.
 This pet plays with the children, lying down to be rubbed by them, and frolick- ing about the yard with them. She likes to play with dogs, but the dogs object. The coyote sits on her box and waits for Roy to come home in the evening and shows her pleasure when she sees him.
 T don't think" Roy says, "that any dog could be moro lovable than my coyote is,"

Now that the F'renchmen have fin- ished the job of sticking a harpoon into Steel common and turning it around. they are explaining why it was they didn't care to have the stock listed on the Paris bourse. The main reason is alleged to be that the man ufacturers and the workingmen or France objected to the listing because 1t gave recognition and standing to a dangerously large American industrial whose tariff protected goods could be sold in deadly competition with home manufa cturers.
