There are many reasons why you should read
what it says 50 times each year. It is free to
tell the TRUTH. It will oppose the encroach
ment Of special privileges upon the peoples
rights. It will call the roll public men and
assures and inform you how your congress
men work and vote. It will criticise the exc
cutiye branch of government from the highest
to the lowest if in it's judgment the peoples
interests are not protected. It will spread the
gospel of ideal home lite through the Woman's
Department. 1t will be conservative when
good things are to be conserved, and radical
when bad things to be exposed.

A bride who has to live with her
mother-in-law may and daily life less
complicated II she thinks herself as
a guest who is making a long visit. 1t
may be a forlorn feeling at times, but
It has the merit of preventing assump-
ton or undue familiarity on her part
and will save many an attack Of heart
sickness or irritation.
It is a tradition that to live with
her mother-in-law is a difficult matter
for a young married woman. Because
she is at home during the day, trihes
constantly arise which she must ig
more or control, as the case may be.
II she takes the attitude Of being, not
q daughter OF the house. but a guest
willing to add her quota to the enter
tainment and to be generally courte-
Gus. many small matters will be kept
from her. for a formal situation is ere
ated, and there will be a "thus-far
and-no-farther" atmosphere that is
easier to live in than the constant
friction that sometimes exists in such
households.
in-law might as well recognize FIRST as
last that she cannot entertain her
friends as she would II she were in
her own home. Her mother-in-law
may be cordial, but the young woman
will find that conditions are not as
she would have them, and from her
point Of view the entertainment will
be failure. A formal dinner may be
eminently successful where an infor-
NAL luncheon would not succeed.
Her motherin-law may receive
from her the same tactful courtesy
that the girl would practice toward
any older woman in whose house she
might be a welcome guest. But by
keeping to the guest and hostess atti-
tude the girl assumes nothing, and is
therefore neither hurt nor disappoint-
ed when little thirgs are not as she
would have them. In the house of a
friend she would not expect her own
ideas to be followed. and the house Of
her mother-in-lsw can only be that,
save In exceptional instances.
Unremitting courtesy and a slight
formality will make for peace and
comfort with both daughter and moth
er-in-law. 1t is not well to go con-
stantly from room to room so that
privacy becomes impossible for either.
For a few days this would not matter,
but when months and years are to be
lived together such trifles as respect
ing each others rights and privacy
become highly mportant.-Rosann
Schuyler, in New York Telegram.

observes:
Nobody. from the kind down. Is
either ashamed or afraid to be eeono-

an is thought to be 6 fool OF a vul-
garian who is not careful Of expendi-
ture. while in America our walters
have been clever enough to make It
appear that economy is mean, and as
a nation We suffer accordingly. We
are fools TO be fooled In this manner. =

 'T don't object to the man, but the girl is too young to marry" said the parent.
 "How old is the girl?" asked Clerk Thomas.
 Fifteen" said Cody.
 Clerk Thomas was doubtful if he could issue a license to marry to a girl of 15, even with the consent of her father, so he held the matter in abey- ance and put the question up to City Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan. who will answer in due season.
 The law fixes are age of consent at 1e years.

 PASCOE, PRETTY AND
 SIXTEEN, DISAPPEARS

Joseph Pascoe, a teweler, residing at S85 Brooks street, was much dis turbed, today, over the disappearance Of his orphan sister, Maggie, who left his home. yesterday morning, to answer an employment advertisement and who has not been seen since. Maggie, who is 16 years of age, is less than five feet tall, slender, and very childlike in her appearance.
 A local newspaper printed an ad- vertisement in which it was request ed that ten small girls apply at ITS Main street for work.
 On the recommendation of her brother, who had removed her from Warner Bros. factory, because the work there was too hard for one of her slight physique, Maggie answer ed the advertisement in person.
 She left her brothers house short 1y after seven o'clock yesterday morning. When Maggie did not re- turn the brother went to the address given in the newspaper and found that the man who advertised was a soap merchant who wanted the girls and boys to wrap and pack soap. The dealer declared that no such girl as Pascoe described had applied to him.
 Pascoe then informed the police at the East Side station, and waited until after the band concert at Wash ington Park was over, and then until

LIVE WITHOUT WIFE
 ATKINS DIES

News was received here, last even- ing of the suicide of Michael Atkins, 23 years old, until recently chauf- feur for B. P. Bullard of Stratford, at his home in New York city, 56 w. 52 nd street. In fit of despondency, following his wife's disappearance, he wrote note, telling his friends that life was not worth the living without his wife, and he drank a deadly dose of carbolic acid.
 Atkins was only recently married He and his wife had many friends in Stratford, who believed the young couple were very happy. When it was learned that the two had separa- ted there was much surprise, but when the announcement of Atkins tragic death was made, the friends were shocked.
 Two months ago MT. and Mrs. At kins left Stratford to live in New York, where Atkins had secured an advantageous offer. One evening, about two weeks ago, Mrs. Atkins left the house, first addressing a note to her husband telling him he would never see her again. It was said that she had taken the savings of the cou- pie when she vanished.
 Atkins became melancholy and re- fused to be consoled Tuesday even bottle labelled poison revealed the cause of his condition. The funeral of Atkins was held in New York city today. Friends are convinced that Att kins, who was of unusually buoyant disposition, became crazed with wor- ry over his Wife's strange disappear anco.

 Miss Pascoe was born in England. She has been in this country two years. The brother declared that she had never had the company of young men and says that he dses not believe that any young man fs involved in her present disappear ance.
 MT. Pascoe thinks that if any o< the girls acquaintances have fnduesA her to remain away from home fhsY have done both himself and the rfrI a grave wrong, as he is her only reIa,- tive in this country and charged win the duty of protecting her.
