HAPPY MARRIAGE RECIPE
NonInterference Policy Would Remove
Many Causes o. Discomfort
Among the Welded.

The experience OF a married couple
vino have lived together for 70 years
without quarrel possesses practical
value which outweighs any amount of
theorizing, and the reasons for the
happy union given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Levi Sherwood, who enjoy this distinc-
tfon, have a wide interest. I'VE just
loved each other and that was all
there was to It," said Mrs. Sherwood
But the true recipe seems to be con-
tanned in the husbands remark that
he minded his own business, while
she tended to her own affairs"
In that simple policy of noninterfer.
once Is comprised all the philosophy
not only of happy marriage, but OF
harmonious human relations in the
broader sense. If the married adhered
to this rule, there would be little mar
ital discord, less divorce, and fewer
cases OF domestic disagreement in the
police courts. The very latitude Of ac-
ton which this enlightened couple
gave to each other served to unite
them more closely and to avert the
conflict of interests which causes ship
wreck Theirs was union without
dictator or boss.

may suffer from too much regulation.

than unhappy wives and the small boy

UNCLE SAM is SLOW PAY
Ono Army Officer Had to Wait 3e
Years for Small Sum

II anyone doubts that Uncle Sam
often is tardy In settling his Just debts
all they have to do to dispel that H.
lusion is to ask Brig. Gen. Harry R
Anderson, u. 8. A., retired, to whom
the government has acknowledged
that he has had coming to him for
some 80 years a small amount of gov
ernment cash.
After many years of putting Uncle
Sam time and again through the third
degree, as It were, in the shape of a
claim IN connection with his old-time
army service, the doughty general sue.

complete confession from the comp
troller Of the treasury and law officer
Of the department, whose word is
final, that his contention was right
that the government forthwith must
turn over to him $240.10 he ought to
have had long years ago.
Fair-minded people will think that
Uncle Sam, to do the handsome thing,
ought to pay the general interest on
the money he has not had the use Of
in this long period, but your Uncle
Samuel will do no such. thing. He
pays no interest on such money as
that, and never has. At fair interest
the claim would total more than $500.

Real Test of Character.


You cannot read a man SO well dur.
Ing his busy hours as by what he
does after supper, or from the closing
hour Of business to bedtime. You can.
not gage his character so well by the
money he spends for necessaries Of
the liviEg Of his family as by that let
tie overplus of money which is left
after the necessary expenses are paid.
What does he do with his spare
money, that margin left over from
business and from living expenses |?
What he does with that margin will
throw wonderful light upon his char.
acter.
The largest part of every active life
must be devoted to getting a living,
attending to ones affairs, and this is
done by most people in routine sort
OF way. You cannot tell much about
the real man during these hours, be.
cause he has a system, his regular
daily routine, and he does very much
the same thing every day. But the mo
ment he Is free, he Is quite different
man. Then his real propensities come
out. People are not natural until after
they are free from restraint.
Watch the boy and the girl when
they are free from their regular du.
ties, and see how they spend their
evenings. what society they keep.
what companionships they form, what
they do. This will be pretty good
test of their character.-Success

ers cannot be Americans, or possibly

very ''nouveauest'' at that, which is
ample excuse for their l9ughable habit
of lowering noisily around the edges of
society's eXclusiVeness! Aye, let the
Ladies" and the Gentlemen" wear
badges, lest we, the common people,
who know what it is to earn that
which we possess should mistake them
for common people. whose watehword
is, BE ladies and gentlemen" Brand
them. | say, fix a little tin star on
their foreheads so that we may tell
the alloy from the genuine. We who
have so much respect for ourselves
that we do not refuse to recognize
self-respect in others-We are not
ladies and gentlemen, but merely ami
mate beings" whose only duty is to
pile up the rocks for some snobbish
cad who calls himself GENTLEMAN"
and his Dresden china wife who calls
herself Lady" We all hope to ac-
quire money. 1t buys things; but God
grant that should any of the aforesaid
animate beings" become wealthy or
inherit a title they will not be guilty

dents, "A Lady, and "A Gentleman"
