InduIgent Husbands.

American husbands are said to be
the most indulgent In the world. An
there would appear to be great meas
ure of truth in the indictment. Also,
that word indictment is used advised
ly. For it can not rightly be said
that the over-indulgence practiced
by the American husbands, particu-
larly those of the leisure class, Is
calculated to accomplish much good,
in any sense OF the word. Take, for
example, the case of Howard Gould,
who is just now in the public eye
because he is being sued for sepa-
ration by the wife he INDUCED. Mrs.
Gould's extravagances, of which she
has given testimony, were such as to
open the eyes of the uniformed as to
the practices of the wealthy. Items
of simple little things like 1000
rope of pearls, $4,000 diamond PEN
dant, a $4,000 diamond chain, a
$4,000 diamond diadem, and SINH
lar baubles, were reeled off by Mrs.
| Gould as ordinary purchases. This
is an exceptional case, you will say.
| True, because Mr. Gould is man of
exceptional wealth. In comparative
degree, however, most American hns-
| bands are simply over-handed. And
senseless display is largely to blame.
If husbands SOW the wind and reap
the whirlwind in this way, they are
deserving of little sympathy.-Pitts-
! burg Post.

The Deadly Fourth.

The Fourth of July is rapidly be-
coming day to be dreaded rather
than enjoyed. The Fourth of July
means the death of hundreds of child
rem by explosives of different kinds.
The daily papers on the fifth of July
never fail to contain column after
column of death notices from toy
pistols, fire-crackrs and various kinds
of explosives. In New England
the growing disgust that a day which
should be hallowed by patriotic memo
ries should be degraded into day
marked by the killing ard manning
of hundreds If not thousands of child
rem and turned into day of
torture for the sick and nervous and
of dread and anxiety for the strong
and well. The hospitals of the large
cities ON the Fourth of July are filled
with youngsters of all ages, cut and
burned, with their hands torn to
shreds and their sight destroyed or
injured, and the death due to lock-
jaw alone would, if we were not cal
loused by custom, cause such an out
cry that hose who sell or parents
who put into the hands of tiaeir chill
drem the deadly toys would be held
up to general execration. That there
is no exaggeration in this statement
of the case is borne out by the news
papers of the morning following the
Fourth in every city in the country
Among the sick and unwell, or those
who are in the least nervous the con-
slant din and the sudden ear-splitting
explosions cause a degree Of misery
that in itself would justify the sup
pressions of all explosives even if
Ehey were entirely mucous to those
that handle them and to surround
ing property. No one has the right
to subject others to torture merely
to amuse himself. To bring children
UP deliberately to disregard the COM
forts and we'll being Of others is to
teach license, not liberty on the day
that should be consecrated to liberty.

Packing in the South.

The tendency shown throughout
the South to patronize Southern
packers and to prefer Southern beef
has stimulated the industry in the
Southwest. The South shows
preference for Texas beef as against
the higher grade and higher cost of
native stuff, and Texas packers
find they cannot supply the demand.
Ground has already been broken for
another enlargement of the Armour
plant at Fort Worth, which it is said
will be doubled in capacity. Similar
extensions are planned for the Swift
plant, and it is said that the S. and
S. Company has it's eye ON a Fort
Worth location. At other Texas and
Oklahoma points there is great &C
tivity in the packing field, existent
and prospective. Everywhere
throughout the South indications of
enterprise in beef and pork packing
are evident, particularly in region
where diversified farming is being
advocated and small plants to con
sumo local production are being pro
posed and planned.-The National
Provisioner.

Modern living is complex affair,
greatly in contrast with the simple
modes of life of the earlier Ameri-
cans and of their immediate desccen-
dants. All the appliances which nav
BEEN nvented-notably during the
past generation-to give heightene
comfort to the home, and to make
labor easier have added to this com
plexity of living, and most materi
ally to it's cost. How materially, ON

studied the matter for himself and
discovered beyond question that TO
day a man cannot support wife and
bring up one child, living in a com
Portable and not at all lavish manner
upon what his ancestors would have
considered sufficient to rear a large
family. He cannot do it on what
it Gosh his ancestor of only two gen.
erations ago. AS men and women ar
educated and taught to think for theI
selves, they will no longer follow
blindly the lead of the so-called
fashionable" bell-wethers, but will
recognize the charm of independent
modes of thought and life, and will
permit themselves to live according
to their own ideals and their own
ways They will see the folly of at
tempting TO initiate the methods of
the millionaire on the income of the
average business or professional man
but will live their own lives, happy in
doing the things which they really
care TO do, instead of the things
which they do just because somebody
else does them.

He may not care to go to church,

by going with them. He may tank
that they ought to know he love
them dearly, because every day
his life he is working for them.
But his love is not all that it might
be until it leads him to do things
that are especially pleasing to his
family Numerous cares, deep thought
an absorbing life work, a crowded
day, free no man from the duty of
showing his love at home in ways
which are wholly of his wife's or his

The man who complains of the use

him had better right about face and
ask himself how much he is doing
to make such loving claims seem no
