He has announced thar the state schools will not get their money until October 1. Much of 1t is due now.
 Representative A. R. Brndley of Gads- den, chairman of the committee that framed the revenue bill, stated today that the governor would be compelled to call the legislature in extra session on his return from New York. The state tax commission reports to the governor that it will not have revenue enough to meet ordinary expenses of the state. It is therefore believed here that the extra session will be called.

HALF MOURNING.

Miss Lee of Virginia had a negro
maid who was always asking her mis-
tress for her clothes long before she
was through with them. One day Di-
ana's husband died, and she went into
deep mourning. In a very short time
however, she asked her mistress for
a certain hat, which was trimmed
with bright red roses. Much sur
prfsed and amused, Miss Lee remark
ed:
why, Diana, you cannot wear that
hat, you are in deep mourning for
Toby, and t. would look outrageous"

because of the dog. Many heartache
will result, and the atmosphere will
never be quite the same.
Isn't it foolish to let even the mer-
est fraction of happiness slip away
for such a cause, such a little, little
cause, such an unnecessary cause?
Back of the dog, of course, are OBJ
stinacy, selfishness and wilfulness on
the wife's part; ill-temper, perhaps,
on the husbands. These are really at
the root of the trouble. If they had
not come to the surface by reason Of
the dog, no doubt they would sooner
or later have cropped up through some
other medium. But surely they should
be nipped in the bud. The husband,
in certain objections to the dog, As in
the right, and the wife, instead Of
wilfully and obstinately refusing to
listen to him, should be reasonable
enough to see the justice of his OBJ
jections, and yield to his wishes. On
the other hand, the husband should
be willing, if the dog is kept within
bounds, to let his wife have this pet
and companion. Probably he would,
as he only began to object when the
dog took undue liberties.
Marriage is matter of give and
5 take. Neither should want all his
desires gratified without any regard
to the wishes OF the other. If this
spirit crops out in either one at the
outset of married life, they should
lovingly talk the fault over and unit
eddy help to overcome it. Else hap
piness is liable to become a rarer and
rarer inmate in the home

A NEwLY-wED AND HER DOG.

What little things can sometimes
upset the happiness of a new home!
And how unconscious husband and
wife are of the danger until the dam
age is almost beyond repair!
A certain bride a few weeks after
her marriage secured a little dog.
Her husband is away all day, she is
lonesome, and she wanted the dog
for company. So into the home
came this cute little puppy.
For a few weeks all went well, al
though the husband did not take any
too kindly to the puppys chewing his
slippers, ripping his best umbrella
into shreds and going out through the
screen door without the ceremony Of
opening it. Mosquitoes are bad in
that section, and screen doors with
hole big enough for a puppy to go
through are of little value.
However, the head of the house
kept fairly quiet on the subject, believ.
ing his wife would soon come to her
senses about the dog. But the habit
of petting and caressing an animal
grows on some women, and it wasn't
long before the dog began to rule the
house. He was brought to the table
at mealtime, he was allowed to track
mud and dirt over everything with hi
little pattering paws, he was Rugged
and kissed and carressed ad nauseam
Naturally, the husband began tc
protest decisively But the wife OBJ
stinately refused to discipline the dog
or to mend her ways regarding him
The husband took the matter in hant
and then wiley wept and said he was
a brute.
And it looks as if a big quarrel will
be on in that little new home simply

And in contrast to the preceding is
this:

THE AGE FOR MATRIMoNY.

The young matrons have much to
say concerning the age at which they
would advise a girl friend to be mar

of them agree. The average of the
ages named by them is twenty-four
years and a fraction. That no girl
should be married before she is TWEEN

many.

woman, "and my husband thirtv-ona.
after we had both seen a good bit
OF the world and had enjoyed some

Other views on the suitable age TO,

Personally, I believe in a girls

BOYCOTTING THE BATH.

The bathing record of the average
Russian from the cradle to the grave
is one that includes only three baths,
according to Professor Simon Baruch,
who is now engaged in delivering a
series of lectures o n"Water' to the
students of Columbia University, New
York.
The three momentous occasions
when the applications Of water to the
skin of the peasant is made, are at
birth, marriage, and death. 1t is man
ifest that the bath-tub trust would
have but little chance to flourish II
the Empire of the Car.
Think, however, of the bliss OF
avoiding cold baths or plunges in the
lev chilliness of the dawn No more
need. if one We're a Russian peasant,
of dreading the daily or weekly bath,
for who would object to taking bach
three times in a lifetime? Russia
is the land Of promise which the Amer
lean hobo has faile dto discover.
In justice to the Russian peasant let
it be said that he has more or less
effective substitute for the water bath
in what is termed a sweat bath. Amy
available place is used for the pur-
pose, and the peasants have often been
known to crawl into a vacant heated
oven in order to take his semi-occa-
sional sweater"
But there is a tremendous toll Of
life given in return for the Russians
lack of cleanliness Whenever chol-
era or d similar infectious disease
sweeps over the empire, it cuts down
victims by the hundreds of thousands
Each year sees great increase in
the number of deaths from cholera,
which is attributed mainly to filth
and dirt on the peasants bodies
Even though one may feel a nat
ural aversion to bathing, it is better
to brave the terrors of water and
keep clean than to fall prey to all the
Ills that flesh is heir to.
