YOUR WIPES COOKING.

The saying: '"The way to a mans heart is through his stomach" was probably first uttered with contempt and by a woman. Most men will ad- init the truth of it and a number of devoted husbands have been asked by the editor of the Woman's Home Companion what they value most III their wives cooking.
 There is a page full of-7clever re- plies in the November Woman Home Companion.
 One man says the thing he values most is his wife's genius for disguis- ing things. ':Have you ever seen the defective in me-chiId, me~child melodrama disguise himself in a light overcoat?'' he continues. t'The entire audience recognized him instantly, and only the angelic heroine was de- ceived My wife never disguises q steak like that, nor do exclairn when it reappears, Where have seen that face before?' Its own moO1y-cow mother wouldn't recognize that steak. The result is that~our luncheons are about the most interesting meals we have, mere retrospects though they are. That's lucky for us both. I am irascible by nature and if it wasn't t for Beth's way of disgusting things, I might growI- I am no better tenn pered than the man who explaine ed his refusal to say grace by roaring, I've asked the Lord to bless this old ham all I'm a-going to!'

Mrs. Farley is Industrious and Main Support of Her
 Children

Fireman Charles Farley, arrested yesterday for forging the names of Employes of the Bryant Electric Co., to notes addressed to Waldo c. Bryant and Manager John Taylor by which he raised $3 on each note, was today held in bail of $1o0 for hearing in the city court tomorrow morning.
 Mrs Farley, the mother of three small boys, was in court. Farley's small bail is taken to indicate that the charge of forgery may not be pressed, and that the minor charge of obtaining money under false pre- lenses may be substituted.
 Mrs. Farley is an industrious fac tory enp1oye, and it has been mainly through her efforts that the family has been kept together. In her ab- scense at her daily toll. Farley is said to have squandered not only what he earned at odd jobs, but also whatever of her money he eau obtain: Mrs Far1eysfeels that a greet injustice has been done her by the report that she countenanced the serving of drinks at her home. On the contrary she did all in her power to prevent her hus- band from continuing in his dissipa- tion but with little success. Her con- duct merits approbation rather than cenSure.

The Woman With a Grievance.

We all know her and have had her griefs and worries loaded on to an already b1rdcncd back. II certainly Is comfort to some people to divide their diacomforts by sharing them and q normal person never will refuse to take the recital of trials and give in return full measure of sympathy: but there are people who should not be sympathi2ed with. it is the worst possible thing for them. What they need is q good dose of cold facts and be made to realize that they are not of all women the most miserable. Let them "eount their mercies, name them one by one" and they will find many silver sides to their clouds.
 She who comes with tales Of her husband his faults, failings and short eominSs, is the one who raises the ire of the high minded woman. Would she enjoy the idea of knowing that her husband eanvassed their private affairs with his friends as they met? She would be deeply hurt and indig nant, and yet she does the same thing
 
 worked both ways or 1t is of little value in the home. One person cannot do all the thoughtful kind things without making others selfish Selfish ness Is many-sided evil Some of the most self-denying people are the most selfish, for they enjoy doing the things for others that they should be taught to do for themselves.
 How often a mother teaches the child the very evil she would shield 1t from. because of her deep love, which is not quite deep enough to wound the child sometimes for his own good.
 She cannot bear to see it suffer, yet she builds for future suffering lmmeasurably greater.
