Head of the Family.

Tradition and custom since the be.
ginning of time have prescribed that
the man shall be the head of the fam
lily. Excepting during the period of
courtship, and often then, it has been
the woman who has striven hardest to
please the man who has sought to
mould herself according to his ideal,
to conform to his standard in all
things. Rudyard Kipling says: Men
speak the truth as they understand it,
women as they think men would like
to understand it; then they all act
lies which would deceive Solomon; and
the result is heartrending middle
which half dozen plain open words
would put it straight"

Bright Idea Went Wrong.

The keeper of one of the large no.
tells in Paris frequented by the poorer
classes of guests recently determined
to smoke out with sulphur a couple
who would not pay their bills and
would not leave. Unluckily, the fumes
penetrated to the rest of the building.
Exit by the front door was impossible,
as the landlord had locked it, and, be-
ing stupefed by the fumes, could not
remember where he had put. the key.
The fire brigade eventually arrived
and rescued the choking guests, in
Guiding the offending couple. Now not

Origin Of the Periwio.

The periwig which played so import
ant a part in the toilet of a man of
fashion during part of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries owed it's orr.
gin to Louis XIV. Of France. When a
little boy. Che succeeded to the throne
at five years Of age) he possessed a
profusion of remarkably beautiful wav.
ing hair, which fell in clustering curls
over his shoulders. The courtiers imi.
tated the boy king by having heads of
false hair to initiate his natural locks
and when Louis grew up he adopted
the periwig himself.
During the reign of William and
Mary periwigs were worn in exagger.
ated dimensions, and the beaux used
to comb their wigs in public with spe.
cial combs Of ivory and tortoise shell,

HIS TROUBLES.
Supposed by All to Be Dwelling on

Yet He Is Constantly
in Debt.

Pity the poor man who has an in

dollars a year. He has more worries
than the man who works for three dol
lars a day. One CT these poor men
whose salary is eight thousand was
telling his woes to friend the other

In debt ever since can remember. l

general public thinks that a man with
an income of twenty-five or thirty dol
lars day is blessed. But they
haven't an idea of how he is hemmed
in and .hampered and held in thrall by
the very fact that he has an income of
that amount.
Take my daughters case. for in
stance. OF course she must have .
fine education and every advantage
that father who makes as much
money as do can provide. Did it
ever occur to you how much it costs
to afford such advantages to a young
lady OF eighteen or nineteen? sent
my daughter to Vassar, and, as befit-
ting girl of her age and station In
life, rugged her out with complete
equipment in the way of dress. What
do you suppose that girl did? Within
two months she pnt on % pounds in
weight. Not thing in her wardrobe
would fit her. Well, my wife bought
new outfit complete for her. That girl
OF ours came home for the Christmas
holidays, few weeks later, with most
of her garments held together by
strings. She had outgrown even the
second lot. Now, I've got to buy a
third outfit for her.
Then there's that young hopeful
who's my son and heir-a fine, bright
youngster and the joy Of the house
hold. He had minor sort of an all
ment lately and it was necessary to
perform slight operation l have
brother who is the chief examiner in
one of the large life insurance COM
panies. He is bachelor, and he
thinks great deal of my boy. When
he heard that my son would have to
have an operation he insisted that
none but the very best surgeons
should have the case. So we got the
best surgeon in the city. On account
of my brothers position and influence
we got him at half rates. We also had
several eminent gentlemen in con-
sultation. They charged only half the
regular rate. The operation required
the administration of ether. My
brother, from his long experience, did
not deem it safe to have the acaes-
thetic administered without having
my sons heart examined first by
noted heart specialist. He only charged
half price. Then my brother would
not consent to having the ether given
except by specialist in that line, and
of course We had to have the most ex-
pert and accomplished of trained
nurses. They were the only ones who
charged full price.
MY boys heart was all right l am
delighted to know it on such eminent
authority. But I'm afraid mine is not.
1t has been weak ever since l received
those half price bills.
These are only some of the minor
troubles of the poor man who has but

school days be set aside in the spring
time and dedicated to the Use of stu
dents Let all school work be suspend
ed and all thought of drudgery be put
away. In these two days each depart
ment of the University could have its
annual stunt" The time could be
allotted in a way to prevent conflicts.
The journalists could issue their vel
lew extra" and give new wspaper play
in the auditorium. The engineers could
hold the st. Patrick celebration. the
farmers could give the county fair and
the lawyers could hold a mock trial.
The 'academS' could 'hc"ira" if they
SC desired. The medical students might
have an entertainment that all could
erioy and the ''cO-edS present a man
less play. The peda"Ogues could play
the 'Dccstrict SkuIe" and the faculty
might be permitted to present a Greek
tragedy or a farce.
"All-Stunt- DAYS" would be- product
i've of good to the students and to
the University. The several depart

college life would be forgotten for Il

celebrated his tifticth birthday ami

with a slight maiformation on his left

reason he has made the German war

This physical defect caused him to be
a poor hOrSeman. Seeing himself thus
deprived of the pleasure of his fathers.
he has devoted himself to perfecting

rire. This is partly true, but Emperor
Williams initiative has advanced the
date OF its organization more than fifty
years. The German kings have always
been soldiers, but none of them have
done what the present ruler has done
towards the advancement of their cOun-
try's military and maritime powers.
In years William ii is certainly mid
die aged, but in spirit he is the same
impulsive, well-meaning monarch that
characterized him in his younger days.
Oscar Wilde has said: The old believe
everything: the middle aged suspect
everything, and the young know every
thing" Regarded in the light of this
paradoNical generality, the Emperor
may well be said to have reached the
middle age. The stress of last fall
brought home to him the consciousness
that neither did he thoroughly know
his people nor did his people know him.
The Kaiser received his first shock by
the Harden revelations. Again there
came shock when he suddenly discOv-
cred barrier between himself and his
official advisors. The trouble with
Chancellor Won Bulow cost the Emperor
the temporary good will of the people.
Lut since then this good will has been
rcgained.
The newspapers of Germany hardly
refer to the stormy past. They eulo-
gize the Emperor for his services to the
state. The fall of Prince Won BulOw
from the grace of the Court has in
creased the kai>er'S popularity. Thus
William II enters upon his tiftieth year.
