"HAPPY THOUGH MARRIED"
Wives No Longer Nope at Home
While Husband Spends His Time
at the Club.

If wives continue to grow sensible
at the present rate, the time will
come when everybody will know
how to be happy, though married"
Time was when the picture of the
wife moping at home, while the hus-
band took his night off at the club,
was a true one. It isn't so these days,
a writer declares.
When the modern husband says to
the modern wife, MY dear, I'm 60
ing to dine at the club Thursday
night; l may be rather late" the mod
ern wife says cheerfully, Very well,
dear" and sits down to indite invi-
tations to a dozen or so of her friends
for a nice little hen party for Thurs
day night
And there's just as good a time at
the hen party as the husband is
having at the club, too. There is a
perfect little dinner of the most ex-
pensive delicacies of the season, and
then there is bridge And who wor-
ries about what her husband is doing
at the club when there is bridge to be
played? Not the modern wife.
They play for stakes at these hen
parties, too. In fact, all the comforts
of the club, to change an old saying
a little, are fast being appropriated
by these poor deserted wives.

Feminine Nature Of Crowds.

Crowds are everywhere distin-
guished by feminine characteristics,
not always revealing the best in
stincts which are associated with the
nature of woman but this crowd was
remarkable for it's kindly tolerance,
womanIy tenderness and consideration
for the woman and children and for
those who were overcome by the long
hours of waiting and the sufferings
OF the heat and thirst. So much at
tention has been paid to the criminal
actions of crowds that the influence
they exert has come to be looked upon
as necessarily demoralizing. History
has many instances of the heroism Of
crowds; it is by witnessing the dis
interested unselfshness of such a
crowd as this that one can hope to
realize in some measure the devotion
and self-sacTifice of which collectiv-
tiles are capable.

Yes, you did. and you said it as If

"Oh, it was a fellow I met at the

What were you talking about so
long?"
Nothing very important He mere

"Oh, he is a politician?"

WAS that why you said you envied

Certainly not l don't want to run

We'll, how can he take the time for

In Which the Cunning and Resource
full Cat Won by Superior
StrateqicaI Ability.

"T never fancied cats very much"
said a limited lover Of nature, but
certainly the cat is a fairly courage
Gus animal and more than ordinarily
shifty and resourceful, and so it's
quite likely to be able to hold its own
against an enemy much larger and
more powerful than itself.
Here was yellow cat moving at
a walk leisurely across the street
while at the same time there was
coming along this block a dog. When
the dog saw the cat it started for 1t
as fast as it could go, and when the
cat saw the dog it turned on full
clear the remaining space to the other
side of the street. where it halted
with its back against a tall iron picket
fence and faced the dog.
Instantly the dog jumped for the
cat, but even more quickly up went
the cats paw to sweep the air down
ward, and a cats claws are very
sharp and a dogs nose is very tender
and delicate, and the dog didn't close.
In a moment he jumped for the cat
again, but again the cat clawed him
off, or the fear of the claws was
enough to make the dog shy again.
But the next time evidently the
dog was going to close in and rough
house things and take the chances;
and do you know what the cat did
now? The cat is a very Compressible
creature; it can get through a very
small space; and now this particular
yellow cat backed in between two Of
those iron pickets to the inner side
Of the fence; but it didn't run away.
It stayed right there, close to the in
neT side OF the fence, which the dog
couldn't get through, and when the
dog came up for that last time the
cat struck at it again through the
fence with that swift, silent sweep Of
its paw, swung this time, as it
seemed, with a sort Of savagely cool
cOntemptuousness. Then the foolish
dog ran away.
I'VE may not fancy the cat, but we
should err if we failed to give it at
least some measure of admiration for
the shifty ability with which it holds
its own against its natural enemy"

BLIND MAN CLIMBS STATUE
Goes TO Top Of Liberty Monument
and Is Told of Sights He
Cannot See.

Coming over from the Statue OF
Liberty in New York harbor, a pas
isenger fell into conversation with a
blind man who boasted that he had
climbed to the top of the statue.
TT was a pretty good pull" he said,
''but | have done better. Bunker Hill
monument tired me a lot more, and
the Washington monument in Balti-
more was something Of a clip; but the
climb that pretty near tuckered me
out was coming down the monument
in Washington. Maybe you can't call
that climbing, since it was walking
down instead of up, but for man
who can't see the coming down from
these high places is always harder
than going up.
Everybody you meet on top Of
tower is mighty good to a blind man.
They point out the bay on this side,
the river up yonder, the islands to
the front and the tip end Of the city
over there. While I was doing Liberty
statue a shipload Of immigrants
passed within hailing distance.
couldn't see them, but a woman told
me all about them, how they were
all packed together IN the bow Of the
ship for their first glimpse of the city
and everything. I suppose some folks
wonder why man without eyes is so
anxious to climb 400 or 500 feet to the
top of a place that is noted for it's
view, but the charm is not all lost,
and anyhow I've got the satisfaction
OF saying I've been there"

Use of the Hardy Ferns.

Graceful effects may be developed
IN fairgrounds, in drives through
glades, and in many other positions,
by the bold use of the larger hardy
ferns. Few people seem to give much
attention to hardy ferns, and in most
gardens, If there are any at all, they
are usually planted in some out OF the
way spot where no one sees them.
Rarely do we find them well grown
or an important item IN the garden
picture. The bold and handsome ferns
Of our own and other countries de-
serve something better than to be con.
demned to a miserable existence
among a lot Of decaying roots, which
the conventional idea always associa-
tsd With them.-GRrdsn Illustrated.

IWHERE THEY LEFT MARGARET
Reckless Chauffeur Who Was TardiIy
Informed of the Loss of One of
His Passengers.

Speaking of automobile speeding" T"
said man who drives his own car, II
heard a good one the other day. A
young Irishman who, having left
home and made lot Of money, was
visited by his two married sisters,
neither Of whom had ever ridden in
an automobile. So, he planned for
them a trip in his automobile, think
ing they would enjoy both the novelty
of the ride and the city sights With
a view TO a little fun at his sisters
expense, he told the chauffeur to let
'er out as much as was consistent
with safety, at the same time warn
ing the sisters that they shouldn't
speak to the chauffeur as he was a
very nervous man and mustn't be
disturbed when he was driving a car.
Everything was quiet in the ton
neau while the driver went rushing
out into the suburbs and through the
parks. Sometimes it was on four
wheels and sometimes on two, but
there was no protest. He had en-
tered into the spirit of the affair, and
he made up his mind he would make
those women cry enough SO he
picked out some rough going and
bumped the bumps for a half hour.
Finally the younger sister leaned for
ward and touched him timidly on the
shoulder.
Excuse me- she said trembling,
I know I ought not to speak to you,
but thought I ought to say that we
left Margaret some ten minutes

Real READING.

In anything fit to be called by the

should be absorbing and voluptuous;
we should gloat over a book, be rapt
clean out of ourselves, and rise from
the persual, our mind filed with the
busiest, kaleidoscope dance Of i'm
ages, incapable of sleep. or of contin-
uous thought. The words, if the book
be eloquent, should run thenceforward

and the story, If it be a story, repeat
itself in a thousand colored pictures

DOM

There are many colored families
Who are living in crowded houses
N small plots of land in towns or
,ities who want real freedom and
real opportunity for themselves and
for their children. 1t is very difficult
to rear children in a crowded town
or city. The place to rear children
is in the country.
In Macon County, Alabama, the
colored people have rare and ex-
ceptional opportunity. This is the
county in which The Tuskegee Nor
nal and Industrial Institute is To-
Gated. There is plenty of good land
for sale on easy terms. There is a
good schoolhouse, and the school
term lasting from seven to eight
months in every part of the county.
The white people in Macon County
are of the very best class. There is
no disorder or racial trouble. We
advise colored people who are now
living in crowded towns or cities,
in the North or in the South, and es
pecially those who have children It
raise to come to Macon County and
ouy home where they can get plen
of land to cultivate and rear thei
antilles in the county free from tn
nptations of the cities and towns.

Broke Packing Record.

Last week The Index mentioned
the feat of Miss Beutler in packing
100 crates of prunes in one day.
That record was broken this week
by Miss Ethel Patton, who packed
112 crates in nine and one-half
hours. This girl is an adept at this
work. She makes but one mo t,icn
for each row-for 5x5's picking up
three in one hand and two in the
other. and for 6x6's taking three
in each hand There are in an av-
erage crate 432 prunes. With that
number as a basis, Miss Patton han
died 4S,3S4 prunes the day she
made her record. Her average for
the season was IS crates, and her
wage was 4 cents box or $500
per day.
The fastest box maker was John
Patton. A few days ago he made
500 boxes in one day and during the
season had a total of 1900 boxes.
to his credit. There are twenty
nails to each box, which means that
during the season he drove 100000
nails. In spurt he can make two
boxes per minute. There were &c.
