you want to do all in your power to please that one and that is the way 1t Is with my husband and me. He is very fond of his home and likes to be there all he can. His friends are al ways welcome, and he enjoys bringing them with him and treating them to some of his own cooking for he Is very fond of what he can do. Ham and eggs are what he usually cooks. My friends often ask me which would be the easiest-to do the cooking or clean up after my husband does it but I am not going to say, for MT. Jeffries is i very proud of his skill in this line, and considers himself a culinary artist. Of course his friends do, too, or, at least they tell him they do.' When he wants to go out in the evening with his old friends he will say to me, Well, l think I'll go out with the boys tonight and I never say any thing, for he Is a reasonable man and does not often go. l am just like any other woman who thinks a great deal of her husband, and l would not like to have him out every night"
 Are you jealous of your husband?" the question was asked.
 He never gives me any reason to be, but If he did I would be a very misera be woman. Before he was married l guess he had many sweetheartS. but now he Is fond of his home and spends every min ute he can there."
 Jeff Is very fond of his wife and al- ways tries to please her
 Well guess I'll go to town tonight. What do you say mamaY "I'm not saying anything" , Well, I guess I'll go.'
 "Very we'll"
 But what do you say? Do you want me to go?

 will
 The champion is a stubborn man, and if any one should say to him, " ou can't go to town tonight" he would slap
 his hat on his head. saying, ''I can't, eh? Well, watch me go.'' Mrs. Jeffries is scrupulously neat and clean about her house, and keeps every thing in perfect order. The cosy cor
 ners are filled with pillows she has made, and all her table linen and towels are
 embroidered with the family initial. What are some of your husbands fla vorite dishes?"
 fussy about his food. Whatever l set be- fore him he eats and praises. We have a variety on our table-turkey, chicken,
 fish. roasts, pickles and hot biscuits"
 Thinking of the much -talked-of hygienic
 food, it was remarked that Jeffrles did not owe his strength to any prescribed linA nf diet.
 "Oh, mo-" laughed his wife, neither does he get 1t from the amount of food he eats. People think he must have an appetite in proportion to his strength and size, but he Is really small eater. He does not care for sweets, and the only thing we ever have in the pastry line is a little plain coffee cake sprinkled with sugar. When there Is big dinner he eats 1t with a relish, and when there Is not he never says a word.
 How bad it does make me feel to have my husband called dissipated. He is not and all the stories they tell about his drinking to excess are un- true. MT. Jeffries has will of iron, and has never let liquor or tobacco get the better of him."
 It was no married in haste and re- pent at leisure affair with the Jeffries. They were acquainted four years be- fore they were married. The champion was a bashful man when his wife first met him, and he has since confessed that he was most of that four years

always asks his advice in these matters. Nothing could induce him to accompany her shopping, however.
 Mrs Jeffries would be noticed on the street as a pretty little woman in her trim tailor-made suits, over which she wears handsome furs.
 The big fellow has lavished many ex- pensive jewels on his wife. She keeps them in a safe deposit vault, secure from burglars, wearing only few at tins~ On her hands she usually has two tur- quoise rings, the settings of which are surrounded with diamonds. Her collar is always fastened with a diamond but terf1y.
 Who gets up in the morning and lights the fire you or MT. Jeffries?'
 "Oh, we are with the lucky ones We keep help to do all that. do not have to do my own homework. l superintend everything, for, like most German women, I pride myself on being thorough house- keeper and cook. I am particularly fond of cooking. I have ornamental hardwood floors all through the house. My parlors are finished in white and gold. MT. Jeff fries has den of his own. and it Is com- plete in every respect He even has an ice chest"
 Mrs. Jeffries is happy in that she lives in perfect harmony with her husbands s 1amliy The mother or James J. pre- scented them with lot next door to her own home, so that she might have her daughter and son near her.
 The champion is always solicitous of his wife's comfort, and is much concerned if she is not in a smiling mood.
 What is the matter, mama?' he will say if he sees her looking serious.
 Nothing at all," she will often re- ply. Well know there is, and I want you to tell what 1t is. Have I done anything?" and he will keep up his questions until he finds If there is real ly anything the matter.
 Since his marriage the fighter has changed many of his habits. and his old friends have sometimes said his wife accomplish ed this by putting her foot down and not letting him go out as he did in the old days.

wouldn't like to have a home of her own. as he expressed it.
 Mrs. Jeffries maiden name was Freda Mayer. She lived in New York until the time of her marriage and her folks still live there.
 While she was talking a little fox terrier jumped into the room. Teddy" she called him, was fresh from chase after cat, in which he had won out "A stray cat has taken refuge here and l cannot drive 1t out to starve. It Is pretty hard task to make Teddy be a good dog. You know my house is a kind of refuge for homeless dogs and cats. and l often wonder how they know so well who to come to.
 'I never worry about anything. l am fatalist, and believe whatever will be will be, and furthermore, whatever Is is right
 On the Jsffries farm they raise tur- keys One evening as they were sitting at the table with a prominent hotel man, Jeffries heard noise outside and spoke up quickly, saying. There is a coyote after my turkey Quick, mama, get light. Come cn, Dick, and we will see if we can't get him." and the two men left the house with a gun.
 They went at once to the alfalfa field WHoiS thc tui iheS "oS SiNsiA-o VI --' eggs just ready to hatch, and sure enough, the bird was gone. Feathers strewn through the field told her fate.

 oCome now Open your shirt" he said as soon as they reached the eggs, and with that he opened his own shirt bosom and placed half the eggs next his skin Here, you take your share, and put them in your shirt so they won't get cold" and they walked slowly and care fully back to the house.
 Nov, mothsr get an old hen that wants to set" he said as soon as they reached home. Mrs. Jefrries searched
