gloom over the happy, trusting
face of his. wife, who, it may be,
has waited anxiously for the sound
of his footsteps to give him joy
GUS welcome to his home. How
often has the parent, by a harsh re-
proof chilled the overfowing spring
OF confidence and love which is
bubbling up from the heart of the
innocent prattler at his knee? How
often are the bright rays of hope
torn from the clinging grasp of the
souls of those worn out by poverty
and the never ending conflict of
life, by the stinging ridicule or the
sordid advise of those whom the
world honors-aye, loves to honor?
How often does the child even af-

of manhood, and is clad in the gar
ments of strength and beauty

in the home partnership the wife,
and not the husband, pulls the lab

a mans business be ever so engros-

laborious, the mere fact that he
goes to it in the morning and re-
turns from it at night sets him
above his wife in ease and comfort.
For him the slavery of routine

with the most unselfish fidelity,
there are nevertheless times when
she is weary. She knows better
than anyone else the steps and the

and over, and the pettiness of the
trials that come to the nursery and

that she is ashamed to talk about
them, and we fear she sometimes

The daily papers have plenty of
scare head" articles for their sheets
these days. They print accounts of a
new murder in one or two columns,
they bury the victim of a murder of
the preceding day in another and give
the details of a nice juicy divorce
suit in the remaining columns on the
front page. The inside pages are CIV

Now that the Chanute Tribune and
Sun have consolidated, a most in
teresting question arises as to what
the advertising rate should be in the
new paper. The publishers think it
should be based on the combined cir
culatien of the two papers, as claimed
by each, prior to the consolidation.
The Chanute merchants think that
the present circulation should be
determined by adding together what
each conceded the other to have.
Needless to say that there is a wide
difference in the results reached by
the two plans of computation.-Ot-
tawa Republic.
Here is a little story told by the

hotel, three little girls came out and
sat on the steps. Listening. he heard
one say: That's a fine old man: he
is to be my father-fn-law." Don't be
so sure of that. I have my eye on
him, too" said the little miss in the
middle. The third glanced hastily
around, caught his eye and smiled,
oh. so sweetly. She never said a
word. Curious to know the third we
insisted on her name. AS he smiled
meaningly my father said: "She is
your wife"
