WANTED-A HUSBAND.

Recently a popular magazine inter-
viewed a hundred representative wo-
men in town and country concerning
husbands.
What kind of man should a wo-
man marry? was the question.
And what sort of answers do you
think were made to this query? What
sort Of qualities did the women put
above all others?
Did they demand wealthy husbands?
Or husbands handsome In person?
Or those Of engaging social qQalities2
Taking the world as you find II, you
might suppose these would bs among
the very frst In woman's demand Of
husbandly qualities.
Not one of these things was 30 much
a. mentioned by a single woman!
What. then?
Seventy-f1ve Of the hundred put
HONESTY and HONOR first Of all.
The women. some Of whom are mar
ried and some single. understand that
neither money nor brilliancy nor hand
some features-alone or united-are
sufficient to make desirable husband.
CHARACTER is absolutely essen
tial.
A woman cannot love man whom
she does not respect, and something
besides appearance Is necessary to pro-
duce respect. Only the surface woman
is caught by externals.
The women mentioned-58 per cent
Of them-put LOVE OF HOME as the
second essential of good husband.
Evidently they believe the man who
goes the social pace is not desirable.
To the right thinking husband home
is the center Of the universe How
ever many circles Of obligation-larger
or smaller circles-he may draw about
him in his complex life, the center Of
all these circles always remains in the
same place-the home center.
Now, these two qualities-character
and love Of him-are about all the re-
quirements made by the hundred wo-
men,
Modest? Yes, but all inclusive.
A reasonable wife does not ask spe-
cial heroism of husband, but she does
ask ordinary manliness and honor.
She does not crave wealth or cOmely
features so much as she Graves the
love Of an ordinary man who will be
true to her and her home.

most sensible woman in the world

FROM WA!F TO MILLIONAIRE.

Thirty seven years ago Il German
lad who could not speak word OF
English landed in New York and. hay
ing no money. spent his first night in
Castle Garden.
That boy was John V. Stegcr, owner
Of the greatest piano factory in the
world.
It is far cry from the condition Of a
pennless waif seventeen years of age
to that of a millionaire. And such &
tremendous step could be taken only
in this land of possibilities.
The second day after Stcger arrived
he took job ut rough carpentering at
$1.75 per day. At that time he formed
a resolution which he adhered to for
several years thereafter. One-half Of
every days pay was saved.
AS soon as he had accumulated Il
little surplus he went to western New
York, where ne secured a good posi-
ton in a furniture factory. Patiently
he worked and saved until he was
ready to take n new step.
He was looking for a site for fac
tory.
After prospecting in the west he To-
Gated in Chicago. He hired to a firm
Of electrotypers at 81 day. Queer
way to build factory? At the end
Of three years Steger was drawing $50
a week and had $500 to his credit at
the bank.

ness. And all the time he was build
ing that factory-in his mind. At the
end of FIVE years his initial capital had
grown to $4,000.
Whereupon Steger started his fac
tory. Capitalists offered to so in with
him, but he refused. He had learned
plano making il Germany and had al
ways held his determination to be sole
proprietor Of a big factory.
Seventeen years ago Mr.. Steger
bought a tract Of land several miles
out Of the city and created a modest
plant which turned out 400 pianos the
first year. He also laid out q town
and named 1t Steger.
Today his factory makes 10000 pi-
amos yearly. The town has 1900 In
habitants. mostly employed in the fac
tory. Steger is worth several millions.
There has never been q strike in bis
factory!
Fighting his way upward. Steger
learned to understand and sympathize
with the men who labor. If all en-
ployers were like him labor troubles
would disappear.
How did this man get up in the
world?
Simply by patience and thrift.
And there is no other way.
Every captain of industry has come
up this way-beginning at the bottom,
saving money, patiently watching for
a chance, improving his opportunity.
