thinks he is working too hard and
wants him to feel that he can afford a

On the contrary, every one says,
How franfically in love Mrs. Perkins
is with her husbandr' because she
spends half OF her time marching her
hair and manicuring her hands so as

dition and always dresses up in her

Does the man who gets hump
shouldered and old before his tIme,
shaving TO provide his wife with frills
and furbeIows, get any credit for Civ
ing proof Of being inspired by a grand
passion? Not at all The man who is
pointed out as an ideal lover to his wife
is the one who makes pretty speeches
to his better half and very likely lets
her take IN boarders TO support him
seifIshness Not Love.
And the queer part Of the situation
is that we accept these absurd stand
ards Of value in love ourselves Who
has not known men who actually en-
joyed being henpecked half out OF
their lives because they considered thar
their wives petty tyrannies showed
-
ing about them and anxious for them7
Who has not known a man whose ca
reer in life has been wrecked by his
wife's refusal to let him go away from
her for few months, yet the man
took this evidence OF monumental sell
fishness on his wifes part as a token
Of her great devotion TO him, instead
Of realizing that It only showed that
she was incapable of affection for any
one but herself.
It is also common to hear poor,
sickly little woman who needs rest.
or change Of air and scene, brag that
her husband loves her so well that he
can't bear to be parted from her long
enough to let her have the winter in
the south or the summer in the noun
tains that would save her life, or that
she has to do most OF the cooking be-
cause her husband is so fond OF her
that he thinks that just her touch
makes the food taste better.
The Ultimate Insult.
These women do not stop to consider
that real love would make man will
ing to make any sacrifice TO save his
wife, and that he would eat any kind
Of servant girl food forever before he
would have her dear hands worked be-
yond their strength.
Jealousy Is in reality the ultimate in
suit that men and women can offer
each other. 1t Is an open accusation
Of ones doubts and suspicious OF an
other, and yet it is almost universally
regarded as a proof OF love. A man Is
rather flattered when a woman is jeal-
Gus Of him, and a woman is never more
sure that a man really and truly loves
her than when he gets green-eyed II
she speaks to another man.
Truly. as Puck says, What fools

"HE other day the newspapers
printed a little comedy that
shows how much funnier real life
is than anything the humorists ever
imagined According TO the story, a
young woman in Hoboken is in love
with a youth who had planned TO go
back to Germany TO spend Christmas
with his family. The girl did not ap-
prove Of this plan. She wanted her
merry Christmas with her sweetheart
on this side of the water. She begged,
pleaded and cajoled TO no purpose
The young man was Obdurate. Tt
was the fatherland for him. He bought
his ticket, had his baggage sent down
to the ship. and blithely started on his
trip. only to be arrested as he set foot
on the gangplank of the steamer. The
girl had charged him with having
stolen $3.50. He protested his innocence.
and as soon as the ship pulled out into
midstream the young woman flung her
arms around his neck and began mad
ly kissing him, declaring that the
charge against him was false. that he
had never taken a cent of her money,
and that the reason she had him ar
rested was that she couldn't bear for
him to go away and leave her, and she
knew of no other way to keep him.
Isn't that enough to knock the little
winged god off his perch?
Was HIS Vanity FIattered.
What do you suppose that man did
as he thought of his forfeited passage
money and his brand new steamer
trunk vOyaging across the rolling deep
while he remained in HObOken?
Of course no man will ever lay his
hand in aught but kindness upon a wO-
man. but there are times when ne
sw ould like to, and If under such provo
cation as this he did, nobody could
blame him. Unhapptly we are not in
formed as to the subsequent proceed
ings. but the chances are that he took
the whole matter as a proof OF how
desperately in love the girl was with
him, and his vanity was so flattered
thereby that he forgave her on the
spot and didn't even scold her.
This little incident is an amusing IL
lustration OF the queer standards we
set up by which to judge not only our
own affection but that OF others for US
The real tests of love are as simple
and accurate as the rule OF three. They
are unselfishness and service. The man
that really loves a woman puts her
happiness before his own. He finds
his greatest pleasure in working for
her. He surrounds her with tenderness.
The woman who really loves a man has
no thought of herself; only of what is
OeSt 1OH uiin anu she linus uO uEuSoIy
in doing even the meanest task if it is
for him.
The Real Proofs OF Love-
But, curiousIy enough. these genuine
proofs OF love are passed over by most
people in favor Of spurious and spec
tacular tests that really mean nothing
You never hear, any one say, for in
stance, how devoted Mrs. Brown is TO
her husband, because she does her own

1t was long after midnight when the
two came back FROM the inn rather
unsteady on their feet. Monday night
the same thing happened.

Both drew a deep sigh and looked
at each other.

Five minutes later Stepka rushed in

Three Unique Families.

In the vicinity Of Gentry No.,
are three remarkable families, the
Hopkins, the Manions and the kiers
all of whom have lived in this Vi
cinity and each Of which are unique
in its way
In the family of Monroe Hopkins
there are 10 children, although the
father is only so and his wife As
years of age. There are no twins
FOR triplets, and the oldest child is 80
The parents were born in this coun-
ty, and have always lived on a farm
Mrs. Hopkins is very proud Of her
family, and says it has been pleas
ure to rear it.
in the family of Mrs Eliza Man.
ion there are five generations The
combined ages of the five being near
~ 300 years. The list begins with
Mrs. Sarah Henry, mother of Mrs.
Manion, who is IS years old, then
comes Mrs. Manion, Mrs. Mary Robb,
Mrs. Mary Rees, and the latter's
8 year old daughter.
In the family of Mrs. Eliza A.
kier are six sons who are of the
same height, and who weigh exactly
the same. Not long ago when a fam
lily picture was taken, the six sons
measured and found there was no
difference. Then the oldest one
stepped on the scales, and when his
weight was determined he was fol-
lowed by the next oldest, and so on
down the line without moving the
weights.-Post Dispatch,

THE JOKE IS ON HITCHCOCK.
In the First Three Days of its Exist
ence Red Oak Postal Savings
Bank Gets One DepOSitOr.

The joke is on Postmaster General
Hitchcock, or at least on his depart
ment. Several weeks ago the de-
partment sent to the Red Oak post
Office for data concerning the popula-
ton of Red Oak, in reference to the
number of foreign born patrons of
the Red Oak office, concluding from
the data that the community was
one in which a postal savings bank
should be established.
Postal savings banks, it is said,
are considered more desirable in
communities where there reside a
large number of foreign born citi-
zens, for the reason that some for
eigners have some fear of putting
/ their money into local banks. 1t is
claimed that many of them send their
money to the old country to deposit
under government guarantee, and
that others hide their money rather
than risk it's loss by depositing in
local banks.
But Hitchcock didn't know Red
Oak. He ordered the bank opened
on Monday, June IL. Instead of q
clamorng throng of people who had
taken their money out of hiding in
order to deposit it under the United
States guarantee of safety, there was
one depositor waiting at the window
on the morning of the opening day.
Miss Golden Rule, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. G. L. Rule, had the dis
tinction of being the first depositor
in the bank. More than that, she
had the distinction of being the only
depositor up to Wednesday evening
of this week, the third day of the
banks existence.
Officials at the postoffice are not
allowed to give the names of depos-
itors, but it was learned by Sun
man that Miss Rule was the first de-
positor, and the postoftice people are
permitted to give the number of de-
positors.
To people who live in Red Oak and
know the conditions here, the lack
Of patronage Of the bank is no sur
prise. Instead of citizens who are
afraid of local banks, and of money
hiding inclinations, this town and
the country around are settled by
people who realize the advantage of
the local banks, five staunch institu-
tiOnS, sound in business and cOurte-
GUS treatment of their patrons.
Red Oaks postal bank will no
doubt receive additional deposits in
the future, but one thing is sure, the
community would not, at present,
anyway, suffer for the lack of it.

Very Promising.

We know young man who was
sent to college by his loving old faith
er and helped through without the
exertion of even a sigh on the part of
the boy. We took great pleasure in
his college days in referring to him
as the promising son" of Mr.. So
and-So. He graduated, came home,
and began business for himself, still
helped by the old gentleman, and
coddled along until he was we'll off
financially, through very little effort
of his own. A retrospective view now
makes US glad that we always cited
him as being promising youth. He
is now middle aged man, he owes
us $14 and has for ten years; he is
now promising man; he promises
to pay every time We meet him.

A CHINESE TITBIT.
Eggs That Have Been Preserved For

eggs were exhibited In New YORK

connoisSeur. although by their looks

The eggs were incased in clay and
when uupacked looked like pieces o.

this way by the Chinese for Il cen
fury or more. and Ii Hung Chang nd

eggs for his morning meal might have

Chinese in somewhat similar fashion.

SEARCHLIGHTS.
A Special Pattern Must Be Used on
the Suez Canal.

the Suez Canal.
Every war vessel carries from one to
twenty searchlights, and every vessel
of any description whatever passing
through the Suez canal has to carry
one of a special pattern.
A archlight consists essentially OF
an arc lamp of special form. a para
bolie mirror and case to hold the lot,
the case being mounted so as to be
capable of movement in two direc-
tions-viz. vertically and horizontal
ly. The hood. as this case is called.
is made of sheet steel about $50
inch thick. The turnable. trunnions.
etc. are cast in gun metal. The
arms which support the hood are of
cast steel. The lamp box is form
ed as part of the hood. The mir
ror is carried on springs in the
back cover. and at the front of the
hood is front glass; mounted in a
gun metal ring. and the dispersion
lens when carried Is hinged on in
front of this. Training is carried out
by means of worm and worm wheel
or by Il rack and pinion. Slowing is
effected by means of pinion which
gears into crown wheel on the un-
dersde of the turntable. or else it is
done directly by hand.
The %uez canal regulations require
that the protector shall be capable of
giving the light required under two
different conditions-in the first case Il
broad. fiat beam of light Illuminating
both banks and the canal uninterrupt-
eddy, this being used when no other
ship is approaching; in the other case
they require a beam having the same
angle of divergence and consequently
the same width as the first. but divid-
ed into two portions, with dark in
terval between. thus giving light at
both sides, but not directly in front.
and so not interfering with the navi-
CATION of the approaching vessel.-J.
