NINTH PRIEST.
The Two Things Necessary Are
Love and Mutual Respect.

To the Editor OF The Evening World:
Does It really seem necessary to make
any set rules or regulations for keeping
a husband? To my mind the only things
requisite are certain amount OF love
and respect for each other. With these
two qualities In home, would 1t be
hard for wife to make her home a
place OF comfort for her husband rather
than a bore7 A wife with cheerful
disposition, ready TO understand and
appreciate the many little inconven-
iences a man has to undergo during the
day for her sake, does far more toward
keeping a husband than many OF the
so-called wives" who have the much
mistaken idea that wites duty con-
sists in merely seeing that he gets
enough to eat. MRS. G. J. DOHM.

intermediate distance. they are inter-
copied by the lofty peaks Of four
ranges of mountains, which absorb all

they reach the valley. all humidity has

It is in the months of greatest heat
that the sandstorms Of Death valley
are most deadly. They rage with in
tense fury, celebrating the landscape
and dimming the light Of the sun,
whitening" the scanty vegetation and
covering the trails deep in powdered
dust. - At all times the aspect Of the
valley is superlatively desolate. No
spot on earth surpasses 1t in aridity or
Tophet-like heat.
During the heated term an hour
without water means death. Meat be-

cooked in the blistering sand. Water
is only palatable by means Of large,

all hot countries, suspended in drafts
and reduced in temperature by means
Of the rapid evaporation Of the mois-

4 car AND N "a CANARY.
They Went Away Separately, but Came

t"|H 't~t1~-r BACK o9eIn0rs
A lady friend Of mine, says an Eng
lish writer, has as pets a canary and q
cat. The two were the best of good
friends, md when the birds prison
door was opened it would come out
and perch on the cats back while It
trilled forth song Of gladness. il
One day my friend left her two pets
together, and on her return the bird
was nowhere to be found. Pussy was
curled up on a cushion, sleeping con-
tentedly, and my friend jumped to the
conclusion that the cat was answer
able for the birds disappearance, con-
sequently she caught up the cat and,
holding the supposed delinquent be-
fore the empty cage, beat it rather
mercilessly. Poor pussy mewed pite-
ously, but her relentless mistress put
her outside and shut the door against
her.
Next morning, feeling rather asham'
ed Of her outburst, she made inquiries
about the cat. but pussy was gone.
Some days later she heard a faint
scratching at her window, and on open
ing the easement a cat crept in and
laid a bedraggled canary at her feet.
At first she did not recognize her pets
in the two disreputable looking objects
before her. When she did recognize
them her delight was great.
Presumably the canary had gone out
by the open window, and, finding liber-
tv sweet. It had flown to q neighbor1ng
wood. How the cat found the bird and
brought It back uninjured is a mys-
fofv4
