The question would arise, -Tho makes

handsome man is paradoNically referred
to as the "homebreaker." But there
are lots OF handsome men who are neither
homebreakers nor homemakers.
When a girl is at the romantic age she
prefers the handsome man. when she
wants a good home-when she wants to
enjoy the bliss of peace OF mind and
happiness she prefers the ugly man.

When once the ideas and suspicious OF a

TRIALS OF HANDSOME HUBBY
One of the Tribe Insinuates that
the HomeIy Alone Are
Hnnny.


Happy.
The man who said no mad discovered
chow to be happy though married"-did not
take into consideration the trials and trib-
ulations of the handsome husband. He is
up against some conditions and circum-
stances which perjure his domestic happi-
ness and the peace of mind of his wife.
For the handsome man is bound to attract
the attentions of other women-and he is
only man, for the matter of that People
always look upon the handsome man as
the man who welcomes the attentions of
women, and nine women out of ten will
say:
do look at that handsome man on the
platform. Mabel Isn't he a dear?"
He's married, though" says Mabel, with
a curl of the lip and a sigh.
He isn't either!" comes the retort. He's
too swell looking for that"
Thus the man with the good looks, a
good appearance and pleasing manners is
the subject of much attention within the
minds of romantic young girls who refuse
to believe he is married because OF his
looks.
Statistics have amply proven that the
ugly man enjoys more domestic happiness
than the handsome man. Divorce courts
prove this beyond any doubt The aver
age handsome man is fond of the society
OF women, but he seldom marries He
will talk optimistically on the subject OF
matrimony, he will praise the state of
conjugal happiness, but when it comes to
following the advice he has so freely
given he will balk and refuse to listen to
this form OF madness" Get married d?

| On the other hand look about you and
see that the men who seem to enjoy mar

scrapes. The homely man goes on his

him highly, perhaps is perfectly con-
tented with him. but she has not the
continued fear preying upon her mind that
his elegant, wayy hair. the classic profile,
his black eyes or his slender hands are
drawing the attention Of other eyes than
her own. Therefore, domestic peace reigns
supreme. True the warmth of love in the
home OF the more handsome man may be
missing, but the divorce court is not
staring the latter in the face a few
years after he has settled down.

PRAISE FOR POLICE NATIONS
"a Heart Walking Around with Out
stretched Arms 10 Help Them
ms Needs Help"

1t seems as If there must nave been police
matrons always, and yet the first woman
in America to hold such u position died in
Philadelphia last Saturday and it wasn't
from old age, either. Her name was Kate
Kalbach, and she brought to her duties
so much OF loving enthusiasm, SO big a
heart and so hopeful disposition, that in
earlier days, she might have been canon
lied.
Certainly, she was regarded as a saint
by her associates, and the story is told of
the reply which policeman made when a
visitor pointed out Mrs. kalbach at the
station house and asked who is that
woman
THAT amt no woman was the answer
that's just heart walking around with
outstretched arms to help them as needs
help
A finer epitaph could not be found &c
carve on her tombstone, but 1t lives in the
memory of her associates, and in the
hearts of the thousands of women she hac
| befriended, and perhaps that Is the better
and more lasting place.
Like praise could be given police mat
rons as class, according to those who
know, for while men grow stern and cal
loused-cynical, too in their sad expert
ences-the women of the police service
never seem to lose their sympathies or their
sistery hopefulness.
And yet, as anyone knows who has even
circled round the outskirts of crime, there
is more to be looked for in the way of
regeneration on the part of men who have
become criminals than can be hoped for
from women. They have greater chances
to become straight and stay so; society
doesn't hedge them in SO impenetraby;
their own sex and women, as WELL are
kinder and more helpful to them than to
women.
A woman, though, who has stepped
aside, finds it harder to return, and largely

out his mature years.
IL have become home owner by the old
reliable route of working and saving. AS
a journeyman printer my wages averaged
about siOO a month. A lot was purchased
for 5000 on the installment plan. The debt
became a stimulus for greater effort, for
fewer holidays, and the cutting out Of
youthful gayeties. in two years 500 Of the
debt was paid off.
"A new loan for $1,000 was negotiated at
10 per cent, with which the balance Of the
old loan was paid and the remaining $500
used in building a single story cottage

building of this little snuggery was in
anticipation of marriage, and when we
moved into it on our wedding day a mort
gage of $500 was forgotten in the happiness
of beginning married life in our own home.
"Our income remained at the same wage
figure. Various unforeseen expenses of
family life stretched the payment of the
disposed of we began new plans. Our sue
cess in paying off the debt strengthened
confidence in our ability to handle a larger
one. Our little house was regarded as

depth of forty-eight feet. The contract
price was $500. Furnace, fixtures, side

up to $780,
THE problem of financing the enterprise
entailed much thought and investigation.
Our cash resources we're about $500, hence
a 200 loan was necessary. A straight five
year loan at per cent could have been
obtained, but no payment on the principal
was permissible for two years, and in the
succeeding years only on semi-annual in
terest payment dates.

interest rate, imposed conditions as to pay
ments which tend to discourage the payday
thrift of the borrower. We chose instead
a loan from a cooperative savings and
loan association, an obligation calling for
regular monthly payments of principal and
interest. The current interest rate of these
associations in Omaha is 60 cents a month
for each 500 borrowed, or 40 per cent a
year, payable monthly. Our loan of $1,000
calls for an interest payment of SIS a
month. In addition we pay SIS a month
on the thirty shares pledged for the loan.
We may pay as much more as our means
will permit Payments of 500 or multiples
of that sum may be made at any time, in
