IN POLITICS

Governor Hadley of Missouri ex-
presses the opinion that one of the
political possibilities of the near future
will be a titanic struggle between the
democratic and republican parties for
the control of the souths electoral
votes.
A well defined movement is said to
be under way to dislodge Colonel Cecil
Lyon from the leadership of the re-
publican organization in Texas. A con-
ference of the opposition leaders is to
be held soon to take definite action in
the matter.
Ormsby McHarg, the new assistant
secretary of commerce and labor, is
credited to North Dakota, but he has
been in Washington many years. For
some years he was an instructor in law
at Washington university and recently
he took a prominent park in the in
vestigation of land frauds in the west.
George H. Moses. who has been ap-
pointed minister to Greece and Monte
negro, has been a prominent figure for
many years in New Hampshire politi-
cal life He was a delegate to the last
national republican convention at Chi
cago and was an ardent supporter of
Vice President Fairbanks for the presi-
Dental nomination.
Representative Hughes of New Jer-
sey has been appointed as the whip
OF the democratic party by Champ
Clark, the democratic leader Mr.
Hughes succeeds Representative O'Con-
nell of Massachusetts. The party whip
has a lot to do. 1t is his duty to as
certain as nearly as possible the senti-
ment Of the members of his party on
all pending legislation depending or
party action, and to see that the entire
membership of his party is present
when the vote is taken on the ques-
ton.
r. A. Taft, son Of the president was
chosen head of the intercollegiate Civ
ic League at its recent meeting in New
YORK The league is an organization
which plans to interest colleges in poll
tics, to show them what their civil
duty is, and TO inspire them to perform
| it. Thirty of the leading colleges o
the country are embraced in the mem
| bership of the league. Young Mr.. TAT
is a student at Yale and represented
that Institution at the league conven
ton.

ON CHOOSING A WIFE.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

Nothing is better established by hui
man experience than that, other things
being equal, n wife will make or mar
mans whole life.
Therefore the wisdom of careful
choice
Firstly, as the preachers say
Do not expect to find a perfect wife.
AS the Irishman put it, she has never
been born and her mother is dead.
Even could you find the perfect wife
she would soon become imperfect.
But if you will permit plain speak
ing there are some things that may
be considered in the choice Of wife.
Let US take the matter negatively.
Do not marry for mere beauty.
Beauty of face and form are nothing
without beauty of character If you
ty without a beautiful inner spirit
may prove a snare.
Do not marry for money.
If other essential qualities so with
it, money is no drawback But money
cannot buy domestic happiness, and
it may be the means of much strife.
Select a wife who is prudent and
thrifty, and she will help you make
your fortune
Do not marry a foolish woman.
A silly, superficial wife may easily
ruin the prospects Of a home. There
are many dificulties-espec in the
earlier phases-of married life that
require large common sense and good
judgment The foolish woman is a
poor partner
Do not marry lazy woman.
An indolent, lounging girl is apt to
make a shiftless, slouchy wife whose
household will always be in disor
der Nothing so takes the heart out
Of man as lazy wife.
Do not marry an unhealthy woman.
Let us put the whole matter aff1rma
lively.
Choose a wife who is wise indus
trious, healthy; wife who will help
q wife who win be kindly and pa
tent, a wife who will grow in com
radeship, d wife who will be gentle
and generous and sympathetic, an,
last, hut not least. wife who will b,
affectionate.
Commonplace qualities?
Surely. Nothing is said Of brillian
cy, or social graces, or ability to dress
or conversational requirements.
These gifts are worth while if &C
companied by the substantial quail
ties of wifehood, motherhood, woman
hood.

Of his skill as a bear killed. They

grieved terribly.
This is good enough grub he
would say, as he pitched into a cold

meal in the world, in my opinion, is
bear steak, gril1ed to turn over a
log fire.

day, gimme a good bear brile. I'm get
tin sick of this canned stuff
Look out! cried a neighbor. 1t was
