Amber entered the bungalow, to

request he shuffled off to prepare cot

black and hot, Amber stipulated. He
needed the stimulant badly. He was
sleepy and his head was in q wbirl.
He sat lost in thought until the
khansamah brought the decoction,
then reused and drank it as 1t came
from the pot, without sugar, gulping
down huge bitter mouthfuls of the
scalding black fluid But the effect
that he expected and desired was
strangely long in making itself felt.

The Garden OF Neatness.

Paul, aged four, had been taught
neatness ever since he was big enough
to walk When the warm weather
came on a wee plot OF ground In the
corner OF the garden was given to him
for his very own to plant things in.
His mother showed him how to put
the little seeds In the ground, and how
to water and care for them and watch
to see the tiny sprigs OF green force
their heads above the earth. At last
q few spears of parsley or radishes or
whatever It happened to be came up
and even hourished.
One morning Paul was discovered
in front OF the kitchen sink, tip-toe,
water streaming over something no
clutched In his chubby hands.

called his mother from across the
room.

AMERICAN WOMEN ARGUERS
they WrsnsIe Over Trifies and Make
life Uncomfortable, Says the Mar
red Man.

There are three 'Donts' which
every clergyman could with rropriety
add as homily to the wedding cere-
mony," remarked an unhappy looking
married man. Don't argue, don't
bicker, don't nag, and the greatest OF
these is don't argue. for in the trail oil
argument troops pickering and host
of other petty, disagreable traits
which lead straight to disaster.
The habit OF arguing over trifies Is
a dangerous one, yet one that is In
dulged in by women. and particularly
far to say that the American woman
is more given to argument than any
other. She contracts the habit in the
cradle and successfully carries 1t
through life.
The fact that many women use
an argument as a safey valve for de-
preston and vent their ill-feeling IN
this form Of wrangling. And generally
the smaller the trifle the greater the
wrangle Once an argument is fairly
started, no one knows where 1t may
land one. One goes much further than
intended, and says things that had bet
ter been left unsaid.
1T is a rare woman who can take
an impersonal attitude in an argument
and maintain it. The average woman
quickly becomes personal to the point
of rudeness and is often disagreeable
Worse than this, she is not always
overly scrupulous in her methods. she
will say anything to carry her point,
with an absurd diregard for accuracy.
"A certain type Of woman instinct
lively takes the opposite side OF ques'
ton. If you mildly remark that the
day is pleasant. she declares 1t quite
the contrary. This sort of woman has
a tremendous power for making life
uncomfortable, and her methods may
slowly wreck a home"

WHITE COAL FOR TUSCALOOSA.

Burlington Hawk.Eye: Oskaloosa
has prospects for white coal. Two
Chicagoans have been looking over
the ground and propose to dam the
Des Moines river and thus obtain
power to supply oskaloosa for power
and lighting and perhaps for heating.
1t is even possible that in the near
future, that electric force, of which
we still know so very little, will help
us to cool the house in summer, and
not by the means OF. the somewhat
crude and unsatisfactory fan, either.
For the uses of electricity are still
very few, as compared to the posi-
bilities, which will be turned into
actualities ere long. While Oska-
loosa has long been famous for black
coal, there is no reason to assume
that she will turn her back upon
cheap white coal if such is offered
unto her.
