eDEcErr ALL RIGHT TO HOLD A HUSBAND"

let articles lying in full sight about
the house, confess they go to massage
artists, throw rats carelessly about
and even admit to strenuous gymnas-
tics to keep down weight and give ar
tif1cial lustre to sinking eyes.
Women ought to keep their hus-
bands guessing all the tinle-juet as
the coy girl Of romance plays hide
and seek with the grande passion, un-
til she has her sweetheart groveling
and trembling lest the Yes she has
secretly meant to say from the start
won't be said at all.
Here's the secret of keeping a
husband. Stay beautiful and don't
let the male half know the reason.
Also, don't eat too much. Given tho
aid of modern corsets and lacings, the
American wife is indefensible il her
husband deserts her because she has
grown fat"

Mombasa, East Africa, By Cable
Mombasa is preparing already to well
come Theodore Roosevelt when he
lands here the latter part of next
month on his much-heralded African
trip. and the coming Of the former
president Of the United States has
given dec .ded impetus to the inter
est In the present hunting season. The
governor Of the protectorate, Lieut..
Col. Sir James Sadler, is getting up
entertainment for the distinguished
visitor, but in spite of these arrange
ments, the greeting to Mr.. Roosevelt
will be more to the great sportsman
whose fame is well known to local
hunters than to the former president.
y East African sportsmen were high
Iy gratifed to learn that Mr.. Roose-
had refused the offer of the authori-
ties to grant him a special hunting
license that would have permitted him
to kill game to an unlimited extent
instead of confining himself to the
two elephants, two rhinoceroses, two
hippopotami, etc. Lions and leopards
are cIassed as vermin and consequent
lg no license to kill them is required.
The white population Of Mombasa
has heard much of Mr.. Roosevelt's s
personality and in a joking way
frequent references to the "big
stick" are being made.
The prospects for good hunting this
season are considered excellent. Many
settlers in the outlying districts, real
fzing the increasing interest in the
prospects for good sport because of
the coming of Mr.. Roosevelt, are vol
.untarily sending in information about
the movements of game. According

ed the flag of their country in the land
of ice which man has sought to pene-
trate for four centuries; and each ig-

Peary sends word from Indian Harbor
that the Stars and Stripes have been
nailed to north pole and that the ship
Roosevelt is safe.

of his success, message that has
aroused a storm of controversy around

There was. no qualifications; it left no

were apprIsed of Peary's great achieve
ment practically at the same moment
and the excitement which followed at
tests to the high pitch of interest
aroused over this climax of mans per-
