Il Is e low standard OF domestic moral.
ity to which she subscribes
According to my idea, successtul
wife Is woman who not only makes
her husband happy. but who helps him
to make the very bost of himself and OF
life. She isn't sugar and water. she Is
a strong tonic that puts iron in hez
husbands blood and makes him able &,
DO the work OF three. She doesn't get
along with her husband by plying him
with lying batteries. She helps him "a
act the part Of a reasonable man not q
vain sirnpleton.
M-sn't BE n Mans slnre.
She isn't her husbands slave. She Is
his side partner. She never nazs. but
she is not afraid to tell him the truth
even when the truth hurts.
The successful wife must know how
TO keep comfortable home. She must
be thrifty and Industrious She must be
sympathetic and loving. She must
make her husband q better, a happier
and more useful man than he would
nave been without her, or else she is
not successful wife.
Among recent Instances of successful
wives, no better illustration can be
found that Of the wife Of express-
dent Diaz. She married a man with
great ability, who was Of lowly and
half savage ancestry, and she Is said TO
have not only taught him the very ru-
diments OF civilized society, but al
ways to have softened his judgments
and been the one influence for mercy
ana Kindness in his life. She was q
successful wife because she made tba
pest or her husband, instead OF foster
ing the worst in him.

now, as she left the car at the corner
and hurried through the rain to her
little room IN Mrs. Dolan's boarding
house, she was filled with renewed
courage and confidence
On how small a thing ones mood
and happiness sometimes depended
That morning Ruth had left the board
ing house with very heavy heart
The world had seemed full of gloom
and misery.
And now. while nothing had changed
1t was still raining. the sky was
still leaden-yet with q light heart
Ruth ran up the steps. lowered her
dripping umbrella and fitted her latch
key IN the shabby front door
What Made the Changer
Inside, the hall was just as dark
and damp, and the odors just as musty
as they had been this morning. But.
somehow, now, she did not notice
them
She left the front door open long
enough to look over the few letters
and post cards on the hat rack. but
there was nothing for her, On the
stairs she stumbled over a dust pan
and broom. left there by the maid, but
she only laughed and hurried on.
Her own room was just as crowded
and disordered as when she had left it
this morning-the maid had only
smoethed up the bed, with. no attempt
at busting or strengthening And now
Ruth took off her things. slipped on
on old wrapper and started energeti-
calIy to clean up" She went down
and brought UP the dust pan and
broom she had stumbled over on the
stairs
The room had not been swept since
she had been there and, with q towel
pinned over her hair. she swept and
busted it thoroughly, humming song
as she worked
When she was I'll through she
bathed and put on her one white dress
for dinner.
She wondered why she had been so
wretched that morning. Why had she
been so depressed and discouraged
She resolved not to let herself give
way to '-the blues again Why
should she? With youth and health
and courage, and with all tirS posi-
bflities that New York had to offer
why should she not succeed?

COTTON ESTATE
TITLE CLEARED
Railroads Pay Heavy Dam
ages for Building an
Embankment.

The Cotton estate has now cleared
its title to all property IN the Cotton
addition. The last suit OF the estate
to try title to land was compromised
in the z1st district court last week
when the FL Paso & Northeastern roac
and the Texas & Pacific. a codefend-
ant, agreed to pay $4,000. Judge
Waltha1l dismissed the jury and re-
served the case to himself to decide
how much each Of the defendants
should pay.
The suit was originally filed IN 1908
when David W. Williams, who at that
time represented Frank B. Cotton, filed
suit against the Fl Paso Leather com
pany and II other defendants to try
title to the ground on the plea that
they were trespassers.
One by one these defendants were
disposed Of and the Kansas City, Ell
Paso & Mexico railroad was the only
remaining defendant. This company
went into the hands Of the receiver and
Jay Gould bought its property rights.
Later, Gould's representatives acting
for the T. & P. Railroad company. sold
the property 10 the FL Paso & North
eastern Railroad company.
1t involved the rightofway used By
the FL Paso & Northeastern, now
known as the El Paso & Southwestern,
and is that section beyond the FL Paso
Southwestern reservation near Fort
Bliss.
The suit was on trial three weeks
ard involved not only title TO the prop
erty, but also suit for damages because
the estate Of Frank 3. Cotton, through
Walter B. Grant, the executor, claimed
that the erection OF an embankment
in the northern part OF Cotton addF
ton damaged the ground to the south
of 1t.
Witnesses for the defendant testf-
fled that the property was damaged
to an extent of $4,000, while witnesses
for the plaintiff testified that the dam
age had been 100000. so the compro-
mise of $4,000 was effected.

These views Of what it takes to make

Y HAT IS successful wife?

w HAT is a successful wife? :.
one who is elected to office.
A successful financier is a man who
makes money. A successful actor or
author is one who gets the glad hand
from the public. By the same token a
successful wife is one who is popular
with her husband, whom he loves and
admires. and enjoys more and more as
the years go by. and who looks better
TO him when she is fat and 40 than she
did when she was sweet and 20.
At any rate. this is the ideal of wife
hood toward which all married women
aspire. and toward which they strain
with every nerve and sinew taut. Few,
however, reach the goal. and why they
fail is the great unsolved problem Of
the feminine sex.
This makes Of peculiar interest two
recent utterances on this subject One
Is by Madame Maeterlinck, who, in a
magazine article. has told How I Be-
came a Successful Wife"
Madame Maeterllnck's recipe calls for
superhuman self-abnegation on the
part OF a wife On her own showing,
the way she succeeded was by feed
ing her husband on the choicest It'd
bits. flattering him out of reason,
waiting on him like a slave, hand and
foot. never speaking to him unless he
gave indications that he would conde-
scend to hear her. and then by only
saying things that experience had
taught her would be pleasing for him
to hear.
In q word, Madame Maeterlinck con-
siders that she became a successful
wife by servi1ity, by prostrating and
sacrificing herself before him
