Most American girls are spoiled from babyhOod. Mothers and aunts, fathers and uncles have an ear open always to the tales of woe of the household pet. Later, when a cold world re- fuses to take into account the trou- bles which oppress her, and when it seems to care as little for her sor- rows as her joys. she looks about her for someone who will enter into her state of mind, and when she finds a man who seems to give her the attention she demands she is likely to marry him. She expects him. henceforth, to sympathize with her moods and tenses. She wants to be
 pitied, coddled, comforted. In her egotistical plan for her future the man upon whom she bestows her favor is simply to live for her. She likes to think that his days will be spent in understanding her, and in this she usually meets disappoint- ment.
 I do not mean that the average man lacks sympathy when it comes to the real things of life. If a wo- man is ill, her husband will wait on her; if she is in trouble. he will com fort her. but he has no patience with imaginary woes. Moreover, if he is a man of reserve, who hides his own feelings. he condemns the constant complaints as useless. arguing that they show a lack of self-restraint. The girl who has been held close to the heart of her mother resents this seeming hardness. She feels herself misunderstood, and matrimonial wreckage follows.
 Many wives put their husbands patience to a stronger test than it will stand when they ask weary masculine to agoniZe over every lit tie worry A man has cares of his own, and he does not cry over them. Moreover. he craves brightness, and enthusiasm as a relief from the mo- notony of his days work. When he comes home weighed down by his burdens to find only tears and signs, is he to be blamed absolutely if he condemns the elf-indulgence which makes mountains out of mole hills?
 The woman who accuses her hus- band for lack of tenderness should ask herself, Am l sympathetic? ?" That a man does not wear his heart upon his sleeve is no proof of shall Iowness. Human nature is human nature. and the man who often feels like having a good cry is denied that feminine indulgence. In this life we get largely what we give. Infi- nite affection brings affection in re- turn. What right has a woman to ask her husband to pour out upon her flood of commiserating love. while she fails to comprehend the smallest needs of his nature?
 I know a little woman, the wife of a doctor. who complains of her hard lot Don't ever marry doctor, my dear" she says; tits dogs life. You might as well be a nun. l tell my husband I am going to run away some day with a man who isn't as busy as he is" But what of that doctors life? Is he getting out of 1t of joy or brightness? There are nights when lives hang in the nights when he leans over bedsides watching for faint signs that shall show that death has been ward ed off. nights when he fights hand to- hand with awful conditions. And when he comes home, that little bit of foolish femininity meets him with the recital of her woes. He listens

WON'T LET HIM HUNT
 IN HIS OWN BACKYARD
The Petition of Mir. Jesunofsky to Shoot Big Game in His Yard
 is Refused.

l.. \. Jesunofsky, director of the permit by the police to go hunting in his back yard.
 Although MT. Jesunofslly resides within the corporate limits, his back yard has been so overrun with game of many species that he felt com pelled to ask for a permit to do a little shooting. Marshal Moore said yesterday that he would gladly grant the permit, but that it was not in his power to do so. He knew of no way by which the weather man might lawfully hunt in his own yard eX- cept by having a special ordinance passed by the council.
 Mir Jesunofsky was asked yester- day what sort of game his back yard teemed with.
 The weather man paused and looked the reporter in the eye before reply ing Now. you know" he began, slowly, that l am not a humorist. although certain alleged journalists of this town have endeavored, at one time or another, to coerce me into becoming one I am not about to tell you any Bill Nye tale. l men tion this incidentally, because you journalists are a skeptical bunch. Why, if you saw a man fall off a pier into the ocean and he shouted that he was drowning you would bet him a dollar he wasn't.
 "I keep chickens, you know, and in my back yard or in the immediate vicinity thereof there is a small me nagerie, consisting, as far as I can learn, of two skunks-I have thrown stones at them, but can't hit them one civet, a wildcat, a coyote, quail and rabbits. Do you know that last year I shot twenty-siX rabbits in three hours in East Evergreen place."
 The reporter lighted his pipe, took few puffs and asked casually: Are there-er-any deer in your back yard?"
 MT Jesunofsky turned on him saw agely Now, sir, yoo are trying to place me in the same category with the nature fakers, on- whom Roose- welt stamped his disapproval I am not a member of the Liars club pardon, I mean the Story Tellers. A few days ago I chased road runner from the Adams Annex to the School of Music, and that is no gauZy fiction, either"
 The only way that can be sug- gested for the weather man to pre- serve peace in his chicken coop and reduce the menageries in his yard is to practice the trapper's art-catch them alive and add them, as he gets them, to the geological gardens down at the fire house.

another: What do her parents pur- pose that she shall do with her life?"
 Ask tEis question of a dozen or a hundred parents. and the large ma jority will answer, "Oh. hope she will marry we'll"
 Yes; in spite of the higher edpca- tion of women, of the throwing open of the professions tO them, of the modern determination to place men and women on an absolute equality as far as the battle of life is concerned, the fact remains that fathers and mothers, in ninety-nine cases out of hundred. would rather see their daughters happy wives than occupying the most renowned positions in any of the professions in single blessed

and Gen. Antoine Simon, who after
wards became president, was march

$4,000 men. Nord Alexis was various,
ly estimated at from 80 to 100 years
old. He was a descendant of one of
the Oldest families of s1aiti
After he was educated by his par.
ents, he entered the Haitien army and
his bravery soon drew him into public
attention. He took part in many
wars and in 1896 rebelled against
Hippolyte, who previously had over
thrown President Legitime. Hippolyte
died the same year while preparing to
march against the rebels and he was
succeeded by Gen. Sam. Nord Alexis
became president of Haiti in 1902.
His term to have expired May Is.
1909, but his administration was not
conspicuously successful. Prominent
politicians grumbled because he did
not give them what they considered
their fair share of the spoils and his
conduct in Furnishing some notorious
cited widespread Indignation, as 1t
was reg -ded as gross breach of
precedent.
Early in 1908 the movement against
Alexis had gained great strength and
in March a reign of terror was insti-
gated in Port au Prince, the govern
ment sending out troops who seized
many of the recolutionists, even drag
cling them from their beds and sum-
marily put more than a score of them
to death. The number of executions,
according to some reports, reached as
high as 4S. The warships of four ma
lions went in haste to Port au Prince
and their arrival put the seal of Sc
curity on the lives and property of
foreigners.
President Nord Alexis achieved the
double purpose of killing as many of
his foes as he could lay hands on and
striking terror into the hearts of those
who were beyond his reach.
For only few months, however,
did Alexis maintain his rule. In No.
vember he ordered Gen. Antoiane Sim
on, commander of the south for 20
years, to come to Port au Prince and
confer with him on the political situa-
ton. General Simon refused to COM
ply and Immediately took up arms
against the president. His march to
the capital was triumphant one for
he seized many towns and gathered a
large force under his banners.
With his approach to Port au Prince
the people of that city turned against
their PRECEDENT. They surrounded the
palace on the morning Of Dec. 2 and
took possession of the city At the
last moment Alexis yielded to the
pressure of those about him and de
cided to take refuge on board the
French warship Dugua Tluin.
