let articles lying in full sight about
the house, confess they go to massage
artists, throw rats carelessly about
and even admit to strenuous gymnas-
tics to keep down weight and give ar
tificial lustre to sinking eyes.
Women ought to keep their hus-
bands guessing all the time-just as
the coy girl of romance plays hide
and seek with the grande passion, un-
til she has her sweetheart groveling
and trembling lest the Yes she has
secretly meant to say from the start
won't be said at all.
Here's the secret of keeping a
husband. Stay beautiful and don't
let the male half know the reason.
Also, don't eat too much. Given the
aid of modern corsets and lacings, the
American wife is indefensible II her
husband deserts her because she has
grown fat"

How We Grow.


Some idea of the wonderful growth
of commerce and traffic in this coun-
try may be cleaned from a carefully
prepared article in a recent number
of the Manufacturers Record. An
excerpt places it before the public
In figures, and those figures are rich
In Inspiration. The writer points
out that, with 5 VI per cent. of the
worlds population, we have 40 per
cent. of the worlds railroad mileage,
and our traffic is growing so rapid
ly that we need to double our entire
railroad facilities within the next ten
or fifteen years. Our population in
creases at the rate of about per
cent. year.
On the present basis of $1,000
900, this would give us 1900, 900
to 100000 more people in the
next ten years and something over
20,000,000 in the following decade
This will give us over 125, 10000
by 1880 and 150,00O,000 people by
1910. In thirty years our population
will be about 20 per cent. larger
than it is today, but by virtue of
the increasing power of transporta-
ton on land and sea, the use of the
telephone and telegraph-which are
among the greatest agents that ever
came into existence for accelerating
business and adding to mans pro-
ductive capacity-the 20 per cent.
of increase in population will have
a far greater potentiality than the
population Of today.-Duluth News

that had again gathered at the doors
and on the sidewalk to see him
emerge, and with his brother saun-
tered quietly up Fourteenth street.
For some distance hundred or SO OF
his admirers followed, but they event.
ually dropped off one by one.
President Roosevelt always caught
the crowds on his way to and from
|ichurch. His rapid gait, and the diff
Guilty the Secret Service men had to
keep pace with him always served to
attract the attention of passers-by.
Mr.. Taft declined to walk too rapidly,
observed all the conventionalities and
altogether was disappointment.
1t was noticed that the two Secret
Service agents who kept close to the
President wore Unconventional frock
coat and silk hat which is the distinc-
tive garb of the service operatives.
President Roosevelt never insisted
upon this, and as a result the men
who watched over him arrayed them
selves as they saw fit. The change IL
taken to mean that President Taft
proposes to maintain more dignified
establishment than his free-and-easy
predecessor.
After Sunday luncheon the Presi-
dent bestrode Sterret, his newly &C.
CURED horse, purchased at Hot
Springs, Va, and with General Clar.
ence r. Edwards, his military aid;
Captain Archibald Butt and ex-Presi.
dent Roosevelt's orderly, McDermott,
went for twelve-mile ride over the
newly constructed Potomac speedway.
Automobiles will be almost the ex-
elusive method of lOcomotion of Pres
ident Taft and his family. The
White House automobile will have
the right of way throughout the Dis
trict of Columbia and will know no
speed limit.
Two fine new automobiles already
have been purchased with the $12,-
600 appropriated by Congress for this
purpose, and Mr. Taft has given them
a thorough trial. One is a good
weather machine, big touring car
with detachable top, and painted in
dark green of three shades. This will
be the one most used by the Presi-
dent. The other car has a limousine
body painted black, and was pur-
chased for the use of Mrs. Taft. Both
bear on each door the official coat of
arms of the United States.
The cars are in charge of men sent
from the factories, who will turn the
machines over to the White House
head chauffeur, who will receive 500
month. He will have one assistant.
The White House garage will be in
the present stables. Besides the two
automobiles they will quarter seven
horses, which will be at the disposal
Of Secretary Carpenter and his assist
ants. or may be used by the Tafts.
The only horses which will be used
by President Taft and his family will
be the new saddle horse recently rur-
chased in Virginia for the use of the
President and any saddle horses re-
quired by the other members Of his
family.

WHAT WIFE SAYS -eoEs,.
Hut It Sometimes 10 Bad For the
Painting.


/, When property-owner knows
nothing about paint is bad for the
property-owner, and bad for the
painter. 1t would not be so If the
property-owner would always hire a
skilled painter and then really leave
everything to him. But the house
owner SO often fools himself on one
or the other of these things.
The skilled painter in every COM
munity has some of the most incom-
petent competitors that ever vexed a
conscientious workman or contractor,
and the incompetents get jobs gener-
ally by working cheap. In the next
place, when the skilled painter is
hired, they do not leave everything
to him, as SO many property-owners
boast they do.
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally. They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in
vestigating whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painters hurrying the work.
I'm not going to have this painters
mess around my house month, . the
wife says, and what wife says goes
at the cost of a lot of wasted painting
money.
If the painter stays away few
days to allow the paint to thoroughly
dry the owner says: THAT painters
oeglecting this work-guess he's side
tracking me for Jones work. ! won't
stand it.
What chance does painter have to
do good work for man who is con-
tinually nagging at him and other
wise handicappinS him without
meaning it, of course)? A poor job
is the inevitable result of such inter-
ference.
Poor painting costs the houseowner
money-don't forget that. 1t might
pay you to get the practical paint
book, painting specifications and in
strument for detecting paint adul-
terants, which National Lead Co. are

that at least III per cent of the houses
Of Seoul and other Korean cities are so

estimates the mortgages of Seoul at SO
per cent. and states that the Japanese
go about and offer to make loans to any
of the property owners who are willing
to take them. This proposition is most
attractive to the simple Korean. He bor-
rows without thinking how he shall meet
his debt when due. The interest accu-

the Koreans to 90 where they please and
tell them that they will aid them in get

very few might migrate but the masses
would appreciate the fairness of such a

The missionaries say that the Koreans
are much like children and they Judge

that it was also bunder To take away
DR. Allen as the American representative
in Korea. He was the dean Of the corps
and he had more influence among the
people than any foreigner who has ever

mistake in antagonizing him. Had he

been of great value to both them and
the Koreans in the present situation.
One of the big problems of the Japa-
