Election commissioners now In Office
are not entitled to receive the increased
salary voted by the general assembly
in the 1909 amendment of the election
law, according to an opinion given out
by Attorney General Stead. Chief
clerks of the commissioners are en-
titled to the increased salary. as they
are held to be app0intive officers and
not named for any definite length OF
service. For this reason the attorney
general holds they are not prohibited
from receiving the additional salary.

to treat him?
II she would not lose her own and
her husbands respect, she will not
quarrel, will not scold, will not nag.
She need not resort to means which
are beneath the dignity of refined
woman. ~" .:i ,.
Let the wife appreciate that she is,
her husbands equal, his friend, his
partner-not his slave nor his toy.
The main point is not what is asked
by the man, but how it is asked. We
have not so much to do with the mat

to exact courteous manner and gen.
tlemanly speech from her husband.
To attain this end she will discour.
age at the outset any rough language.
One bride, within a month of her mar
riage, showed with gentle dignity
that she would allow nothing but
courteous treatment from her liege
lord. They were entertaining a few
friends in their new home. The bride
made statement which the husband
contradicted. She hesitated min

John, think that was the way
that happened. 1 may, however, be
mistaken" -

without sufficient cause-to the front.

The thoroughbred wife controlled
all evidence OF agitation except her
rising color. 1actfully changing the
subject. she chAtted pleasantly on un-
til the last guest had departed. Then,
as her husband, forgetful of what had
happened, and quite his usual good
natured self again, turned to her with
smiling remark, she said quietly:
John, dear, there is a little matter
l want to talk to you about. Sit
down, please, here on the sofa, by
me-"
And as he, wondering at her grav-
fty, followed her suggestion, she con-
tinued:
Dear, you know that I love you.
and that I would bear anything that

one unnecessary thing that I cannot
promise to bear, and that is rudeness.

l nave heard married folks affirm
with great solemnity: 1--WE never had
quarrel" But l always wonder If
they do not mean a fight" That is
easy enough, of course; but "quar-
rel!" How in the world can two peo-
pie with any force of character and
any strong convictions about life get
along for quarter of a century or
more without some sort of clash that
produces estrangement and alterca-
tion? They surely must be angels
or rabbits!
Fatigue brings on quarrels. So don't
get overtired unless you have to. The
whole world looks so dark to a wo-
man when she has washed and ironed
and baked, all in the same day. Every
bone in her body aches. There is a
numbness in the base of her brain.
Her head throbs. The slightest noise
goes through her nerves like the firing
of a cannon. Poor old John! If he
happens to forget the oysters tonight
he is liable to hear from it. For Mary
isn't herself.
Worry brings on quarrels. If John
has note coming due, or has just re.
ceived bill which he had forgotten
all about, or has had a strike in his
mill, he hardly knows the difference
between a kiss and a cuff. So don't
worry.
A thousand other things bring on
quarrels, and sometimes they lust
seem to come on of themselves. How
hard 1t is for us to find another will

The Hon. Gustapher Plogs is one

nerve enough to wear a Prince Albert

maintain my stand. When wife has
done her duty toward her husband
failing in nothing that can make him
happy and comfortable-and he still
treats her brutally, complains continu-

eternally nags at her, let her summon
all her tact to avoid occasions for

to do her duty, and then gather up

brood over her great sorrow. She still
owes the man her duty, her fidelity,

pay what she owes.
Can she be happy? That depends
upon the woman. If she be one of

not to do it, and he is ashamed of
himself. This modification must be re-
pressed in order to insure mental rest,
and so he puts on bold front and
bluffs it down, an act which stimulates
his egot1sm and hardens his heart. He

Confession is also a necessity for

injury hurts. The soul suffers as the
body does. Pain is the fundamental
element In self-preservation. If it did

we should become the passive victims
of injustice and wrong. It does hurt,
and this hurt has but a single healing

Ing is more mysterious and wonderful
than the curative power of confession.
1t soothes the pain.
But forgiveness Is as imperative a
necessity as confession" 1t is pass
Ing strange, but it is unequivocally
true that a quarrel cannot be made up
without free pardon. The heart that
has been hurt can be relieved and re-
stored to it's original state of good will
only when that divine sentiment has
exuded, as gums exude from wounded
trees. The bitterness is drained out
by the act of pardon. II you refuse
to forgive you will feel unworthy and
he unhappy. And as for the one who
has acknowledged the fault, nothing is
more certain than that he will be ex-
asperated by your not forgiving him.
This spiritual confession and par.
don" is the most beautiful phenom-
enon in nature. 1t is the cure for all
mental unhappiness. Hearts capable
of performing these two sublime acts
will love forever. The deepest and
sweetest experiences of their lives
will be making up their quarrels.
Just as divided electric currents re-
unite when passing through two poles
of battery. their love will mingle
through confession and pardon. And
so when you and John read this article
by the fireside open your hearts to
each other. Confess the sin, forgive
the wrong and you will love more
deeply than you have loved before.

foot, and in a little while she could
honk as we'll as Gustapher himself.
She was perfectly satisfied and hap:
py, and Gustapher went on into town,
and did his business, and as he passed
the COW on his way home she honked
at him joyfully.
About two months after that Gus
tapher was at the state house, when
he received post card from Silas
Prowse. 1t said: Il wisht If you can
you would get the State Secretary Of
Agriculture to tell what is the matter

Plogs read that post card he put on
his hat and took the train for home,
and got into his automobile and au-
tomobiled along the road to Betzville,

Gratz Hollow road was the COW, look
ing steadily and hopefully in his d.

she gave whoop of Joy and started
for him, and when she reached the
automobile she stopped and held up
her foot

ter right away-the cow had a pune

repair kit and mended the puncture,

she uttered low cry of JOY and sped
toward Gustapher. So he honked
again, and at that the COW fairly
laughed with happiness and broke in
to gallop straight toward Gustapher
Gustapher had never seen a COW
act in just that way, and he didn't
know what to make of it, so he
brought his car to stop and took
hold of the bulb Of his honker and
honked at the COW for all he was
worth. The COW stopped straight in
front of him and looked at the auto.
mobile with puzzled air, and when
they had stood there for a minute or
two she looked up at Gustapher with
a wistful, pleading look in her eyes.
For quite while Gustapher did not
know what the cow wanted. He
thought maybe the heat had driven
her insane, and the more so because
she got madder and madder. Then he
gave her a warning honk, and she
Immediately quieted down and re.
sumed her puzzled but satisfied look,
but when he didn't honk she grew
angry. They stood there at least half

coat to sit all day in an automobile
honking for the pleasure Of a spotted
COW. So he started his car slowly
and kept up a steady low honking,
and the COW trotted along at his side
like a large coach dog.
But the more Gustapher thought
about it the more he felt that it would
not be dignified to enter town paced
by a spotted COW, and as his old tea
pot of an automobile couldn't go as
fast as the cow could lope, he hardly
knew what to do about it. And right
there was where he realized that his
honker made a honk exactly similar
to the bleat of calf and that the COW
did not care fig for him or his au-
tomobile-all she cared for was the
low, pleading honk of his honker.
So Gustapher unscrewed his honk-
er, and after he had studied the COW
awhile he tied the horn on the cows
fore leg, and then he made her hist
up her foot, and he tied the bulb on
the bottom of her foot. Well, If you
