The Expense of q Wife.

A wife Is decided addition to tho
demands upon ones purse. In that
sense. however sensible and managing
she may be. she Is expensive. But
everything worth having has Its price
Of one sort or another, and there are
some things which cost much without
which life Is hardly worth living.
Said Theirs: Most men contemplate
making some self denial when they
marry. They think they will give up
such and such expensive pleasures.
Later on. when they discover that they
cannot do 80. and at the same time
they lack the means to. indulge. they
complain that 1t is the extravaganre
Of their wives which causes the incon-
venience"

BURSTING WATER PIPES
IMPERIL WOMAN AND BABE.
Explosion Follows Lighting of
Fire in Stove.

Neighbors of Mrs. Joseph A. Haley
today viewed with wv the ruins of her
kitchen. at 312 Belmont avenue, which
had been wrecked by exploding water
pipes in the rear of her stove, and unite
in saying that it is remarkable how
Mrs. Haley and her 1-year-old child.
Joseph, escaped instant death.
Early Sunday morning Mrs. Haley
and her husband and child left their
home to visit friends. She did not re-
turn home with her child until late yes
terday afternoon. Meanwhile the cold
weather had frozen hard the water
pipes in the back of the stove. She i'm
mediately started a fire in the stove,
and when it did not burn fast enough
she sat, with her baby beside her, in
front of the stove and began to poke.
Then there vas an explosion, and
when neighbors came they found the
room a total wreck, Mrs. Haley in Il
fainting condition on the ioor and the
baby crying. Strangely enough, the
flying bits Of iron hit almost everything
in the room, but missed the mother and
child.
Among the first to arrive was Patrol
man Dennis Moroney of the Second
Precinct, who lives across the hall.
With Christian Hansen, Moroney IA
ried the woman and her child to a
neighbor's home. There was a slight
blaze, which was put out by Moroney
and Hansen before the arrival of the
fire department.
