SOME MARRIED ADAPTATIONS.
By Clarence L. Cullen.

'
 Don't tell needless lie. Save It ur for the big occasion. when. closely pressed. you'll imperatively need it.
 It is a self-evident proposition that when a woman boasts that she pos sesses a sense of humor she doesn't.
 In essence the trial marriage" idea Is intended to give the parties to the contract the benefit of the statute of limitations.
 Ever notice that it's only the woman with the fine big mop of hair who sits in the front window to dry 1t after washing 1t?
 | That cheerful, dimpled maiden, Miss Affinity. has little or no trouble in ce- menting a bond with the husband of whining wife.
 Eventually you'll find out that, when your mother-in-law takes your end of It in an argument with your wife, the situation hasn't improved 10 cents worth.
 When an ill-considered marriage goes into bankruptcy it is called a di- vorce. and alimony is the liquidation for the benefit of the one preferred creditor
 If her white petticoat protrudes be- low her overskirt. don't tell her so un- less she asks you, for if you do she'll bark at you as if you were personally responsible for 1t.
 The woman who writes the essays upon What Man Owes to Woman" often Is the woman who feeds her hus- band exclusively upon junk from the delicatessen shop.
 They pull their hubbies' hair only in the comic supplements. They have more subtle and grueling methods of evening up scores than by engaging in that hirsute-yanking comedy.

wHEE UsURERs WERE HANGED.
Our FOrefathers Were Less Lenient with Loan Sharks than We Are.

Our Forefathers Were Less Lenient
 with Loan Sharks thnn We Are.
 Society Is strangely lenient with
 some classes of wrongdoers. Long
 terms In the penitentiary reward those
 who take our money from us by brute force or stealth. but there is no pun
 ishment for the usurer who robs the
 poor just as surely and far more
 safely.
 A workingman in a steady job finds It the easiest thing in the world to
 borrow money from the usurer, and If he Is not in a position to repay the loan when it natures all he has to do is to renew the note, a substan- tial bonus being added to the amount of the first loan. When he is thor oughly enmeshed the money lender takes particular pains to see that he does not escape. His wages are gar nisheed now and then to prevent his being able to clear off the debt and another and bigger bonus is demaDded for renewing the note. In the end the victim Is working for the usurer and Is allowed to retain for the support of his family only so much as the usurer Is willing to let him have.
 This looks more scoundrelly than highway robbery. yet the criminal law has overlooked it entirely, says the Detroit Journal. In a case now be- fore Justice Lemkie the borrower owed a trifie over S20. and being unable to pay was given some SIP more and re- quired to sign note for $50, the diff ference between the $32 and the $50 representing the bonus he had to give for being allowed to borrow. To cover up that transaction he was handed a | check for $50. which he had to indorse and return to the money lender. Thus the latter could and did say in court that he had given the man a check for $50 which had been cashed at the bank So 1t was cashed, but 1t was the money lender who drew the mon ey. It was eXtortion of a cleverly disguised kind. and had not the work man become desperate and refused to pay anything at all he might have remained in the power of the usurer for years.
 Of scores. probably hundreds. this Is ! the one case that comes to light. and l when one is exposed all the courts can | do Is to liberate the man from the | power of the usurer; it can do nothing | 10 punish the usurer. Our forefathers | were not so lenient in this respect ! They punished the usurer with confis- cation of his property, with torture md often with death

lation to varying ideas about the im- mortality of the soul.
 It is generally understood that in most branches of the Christian church there are men and women who in a vague and more or less speculative way believe in the early second com ing of Christ and in the resultant end of the world as it now exists Such beliefs are usually held quietly and not as occasion for difference. It IS not strange, considering the origin md the history of Christianity. that the idea originated and has persisted.

more extended scale. The belief ID the second coming of . Christ at an early date has not been uncommon in the Christian church from the begin ming. This idea has persisted and has appeared again and again. and is prob ably destined to a long. if lingering, life.
 So far as this country Is concerned. the greatest exhibition or expectation of the early second coming of Christ was at about the middle of the last century, when William Miller. cler- gyman of the Baptist denomination. made up his mind that the advent would occur in 1S43 or 1S44 By means of an extremely literal inter- pretation of the imagery of the scrip tural writers he came at last to be convinced that the end of the world would come on Oct. g. 1844.
 In some sections of the country. it was said that there was scarcely a Christian church in which there were not adherents of the idea. and occa- sionally a church was disrupted by 1t. The apostles of this eyangel were diff ficult to contend with. After the dis appointment that the predictions of Miller were not fulfilled there was the inevitable reaction. Some returned to their old churches, while some went, adrift from all religious faith.
 Out of the movement came the ad- vent denomination, which has now six branches with about 95.000 communi- cants, and in which there is agreement that the second coming of Christ is to be personal and premillennial. and is close at hand. though few venture 10 fix dates The differences between the branches are principally with re-

WOMEN OF THE ARCTIC CIRCLE.
Cabins Miles from So-CnIIed CIvIl-
 izafiOn Homes of Happiness.

Cabins Miles from So-CaIled CIvIl-
 izafion Homes of Happiness.
 Every spring hundreds of brides journey to Alaska and fully as many young women go north, with more or less trepidation, to be married. so that the number of homes in the neighboT- hood of the arctic circle grows larger each year, Frances Sterrett says in the Housekeeper. The trepidation dnly lasts while the brides are "cheechalk- os,", or tenderfeet After they have watched the ice go out and are real sour doughs," they want no sympathy because fate sent them to country where coal Is $50 a ton and lemons a dollar dozen. You cannot find an Alaskan who will find fault with Al aska, and so, as every one Is satisfied. the mining camps at Dawson. Fair banks and Nome, or the cabins out along the creeks. miles and miles from what we call civilization. hold only happy housekeepers, women who know more about canned goods and what can be done with a tin of beans than any body on either continent.
 Everything that comes to their doors is canned, milk, eggs and potatoes. as well as the vegetables that we all use. In the larger camps fresh vegetables are brought in by steamer in the sum- mer, until the shops bloom with wealth of succulent green things, put only the anecdotes of these delicacles reach the creeks The gardens at Dawson are famous, for almost any vegetable will grow if the housewife will bother to plant it. Although the season is so short the sun shines night and day and the cabbage keeps tne same working hours.
 Condensed milk is the arctic house keepers standby and you would not believe how much was used unless you saw the pile of empty tins. Every woman has to learn to make mufnns and cake all over again until she knows just the proportions of milk ana water that will produce the light and feathery result. Canned eggs offer 2 similar course of study and so do timed potatoes to the woman who must serve three palatable meals day from canned or dried foods.
 It is a wild, free life these arctic women live. They know how to shoot and can keep the larder replenished when the men are busy. The can also take big pan of pay gravel and wash it until the specks of gold are free from dirt. In their fur parkl ana muckluks they can trot beside the dog sled on the winter trail and when the journey of several hundred miles is over they can play Mendelssohn or Chopin on the piano that takes up hall the room in the little cabin.
 We never sleep" declared happy arctic housekeeper. Tn the summer It is light for twenty-four hours and 1t is not worth while to go to bed. and in the winter when it Is dark for twenty four hours. we have to be doing things to forget the darkness, so there is no chance to sleep

we'll remember some seventy years ago seeing flat candles in use. To produce what was known as. the fiat candle, which was also sometimes called "shoemaker's candle" two new ly-made dips" were pressed close to each other while soft and then again lowered into the hot fat, thus holding them together as one candle with two wicks. The size could then be in- creased If desired. This fiat candle was most generally used by shoemak- CTS and tailors. but was made use of in some households whenever an ex- tra bright light for working or read ing was required.-Cor. Dickensian.

STOLE FOR CHILD WIFE.
Husband. 1e Years Old, in the Hands
of the Police.

Kansas City, April 25.-Robert Baird.
a 16-year- old husband, is a prisoner at
police headquarters because he stole TO
provide a home for his girl wife. He
was arrested after he had taken sew
eraI suits of mems clothing, dress,
hose and other women's apparel from
the Jones dry goods store. Baird says
he is nephew by marriage of Senator
Curtis of Kansas.
The boy was employed until a week
ago as an elevator operator at the
Jones store. A month ago his wife was
injured by a fall from a street car and
since has been at the general hospital.
In her absence the husband lived in O
poor room at 522 Main street. The wife
was to have left the hospital today,
and in his anxiety to obtain more COM
Portable apartments, the boy, whose
work took him to the store a half hour
or more ahead of other employees, Sc
GREETED wearing apparel and sold it.
After his discharge he returned TO
the store, slipped by the timekeeper at
the door, and stole four suits of cloth
ing, which he carried away in sack.
Baird says his father, E. Baird, an
assayer, is Mrs. Curtis brother. He
married Miss Anna Persinger, 16 years
old, in Los Angeles.
All of the clothing stolen by the boy
was recovered by the police.
