THE CHIEF CAUSE OF MARRlEC
UNHAPPlNESS.

'It seems to me-" commented the
sensible married woman, that the
chief causes of married unhappiness
hinge on the money question.
"One of the two parties involved is
extravagant and the other parsimoni-
Gus. There are husbands so mean
that they force their wives to come
to them for every cent. There was
even one man who-used to give his
wife quarter for car fare when she
went out and when she came back ask
her for the change. Fortunately he
is dead, and, by the way, ! wish you
could see the way his widow makes
his money spin. She didn't wear
mourning any too long either!'
Il dare say commented the man
she was talking to dryly.
Now, don't be cynical she went
on. Lots of women mourn their hus-
bands, and sincerely, even when the
latter have turned out to be bad prop
ositions and have run away, and do
you know why? Because these men
have been generous to them. l re-
member hearing one woman, whose
husband had committed every crime
in the Decalogue and finally run away
with another woman, declare that she
couldn't think in a hard way of him
because during the whole time he had
lived with her he had always been
the soul of generosity in every way
So much for a womans opinion of
a mean man-and the opposite.
But the wife has her faults, too, and
there is no condemnation too severe
for the frivolous woman who spends
her husbands hard earned money on
trifles in ludiCrous imitation of the
rich, while he goes without the neces-
stiles of life to pamper her whims.
| have known women so mad for
clothes that they would even steal
there is no other word for it-from
the house money and give the family
inferior food to eat in order that they
might wear a few spangles and taw-
dry chiffons.
This is positively criminal. A wo-
man is not forced to marry a poor
man, and if she wants gorgeous clothes
there is only one thing to dO-give up
her dreams of love in a cottage and
marry some rich man or if she can
not manage that stay single and earn
the fineTy she considers so indispen-
sable to her happiness. She certainly
has no business to marry a man un-
able to crafty her tastes and then
make life a perfect slavery for him
because he cannot.

.POTTERS GET 5000 FOR
STROOD AND CURTIS

The East Liverpool o. & p. manage
ment received $500 for players Ted Strood
and Gene Curtis, according to an an
nouncement emanating from Erie. The
dispatch says:
The sale of Curtis and Strood enriched
the East Liverpool club $500, this being
the consideration If the transaction. The
two were sold at the same time and each
was held worth S400. The sum is almost
equal to the price paid for Broderick,
who came to Erie in exchange for $500
and Bill Houser, and, besides showing
that Broderick is working for strong
team, it proves that mggardliness is to
have no place in the policy of Roth and
Mertens.

Madison Square Garden, N, Y, Dec. l.

exhibition in the Madison Square Garden
tonight.
The crowd was a disappointment, not
more than four thousand persons taking
IN the show.
Johnson was well received and boxed
some lively rounds with his white spar

Then came a few wrestling bouts which
preceded a bout between Champion

tracted to throw the doctor inside of fif-

fight and stayed the limit
Jeffries and Berger came on at 10

The hrst round lasted one minute and 10
seconds with a rest of a minute during
which Jeff puffed as il his wind was af-
fected.
The second round consumed minute,
Jeff cutting loose so that the crowd yelled

The last round was the same and

EMINENT OPINIONS ON WOMAN
SUFFRAGE

In the administration of a state
neither woman as a woman nor man
as a man has any special functions,
but the gifts are equally diffused in
both seXes.-Plato.
l believe in the rights of the woman
just as much as | do in those of the
man, and indeed a little more.
She can do the best work in her home
if she has healthy outside interests
and occupations in addition.-Theodore
Roosevelt
Women are working for civic better
ment, and their interest in affairs of
the kind is constantly increasing. i
believe that woman suffrage will come
eventually. There is one fundamental
principle that applies to the whole
thing-under a representative form of
government the interests of any par.
ticular set of people are more likely
to be advanced when represented by
one of themselves than by one of an
other class, no matter now altruistic.

THE MONEY QUESTION

Because women consider the govern
ment mems affair they have become so
confused in regard to their traditional
business in life, the rearing of chill
dren, that they bear with complacency
a statement made by the Nestor of
sanitary reformers that one-half of
the tiny lives which make up the city's
death rate each year might be saved
by a more thorough application of
sanitary science. Because it implies
the use Of the suffrage they do not
consider it woman's business to save
these lives.--Jane Adams.

never before heard of in this section.
As the water arose on the COWS he saw

The Commercial contest We do not
know anything about the cause of
trouble in Mr.. Holbrook's contest, but
cannot see how any serious conflict can
arise if the plans of the contest are
carried out strictly. In our contest the
ballots are numbered, and the girl who
brings in a subscription or renewal re-
ceives one of these ballots with her
name written on it and the date of
issuance These ballots cannot be sold
or transferred without mutilation, and
hence it is not possible to transfer
them if the names are properly writ
ten on the ballot, which is done in all
cases in our contest. 1t takes bona
tide subscription to get ballot, and
none will be issued otherwise in this
Office or contest. The judges will count
the ballot for the contestant only whose
name is written upon it.
These ballots are deposited by the
contestant, or accredited agent, in the
ballot box. No other person in the
office is allowed to deposit ballot.
When the contest ends Mr.. Hefey.
of the Union City Bank & Trust Co.,
and Mr.. Howell, of the First National
Bank, count the ballots, the winner of
the piano being the one of the contest
ants who receives the largest number
of votes.
These votes are based on amount of
subscriptions turned in, and hence it
can be seen that the girl contestant who
does the greatest amount of work re-
ceives the piano. Extra free votes in
the contest are offered, but every con-
testant participates in these free votes
equally and alike according to the
number of subscriptions and renewals
