POLITICIANS WIFE
From Harper's Bazar,


 Mrs. Champ Clark does not appear to be standing in reflected light, but gives one an immediate impression of marked individuality She has . slow southern voice, musical in conversation; she has also iron-gray hair. a very earnest man. ner, and extremely good taste in dress That she reads much. thinks much, and has views of her own no one can doubt who talks with her.
 "I am often asked what influence a pol iticians wife has on his career" She said one day. "I think that depends on the politician and his wife.'' Mrs. Clark em- phasizes her words with an uplifted slen- der forefnger. a gesture that somehow subtly suggests the occasional heavier pedagogic attitude of Champ Clark IT public speaking.

 He can't roll a cigarette like you dcs k can he twist a neclztie into so many diff ferent shapes as you do; neither is the old man able to use the latest slang of the day, nor is he posted on the proper shape of pipe to stick in his mouth and suck away on while making parade. But the old man knows how to make enough money to pay your bills and keep the wolf from the door. When the old-man was your age he didn't smoke a pipe nor wear a new rainbow necktie every evening. He was very busy, working hard on small salary and denying himself lot of pleasure in order to get a start. You are now in flowery beds of ease on account of that start. You will find out after while that the things the old man don't know cut mighty little ice, while the things he does know will make volume it will take you many years to learn When you have learned as much as the old man has forgotten, perhaps you will be able to hold down job that commands salary of seven or eight dol- lars week."-The Village Deacon in the Osborn Farmer

FIsHERMAN's LUCK

From Judge.
 In the CatsklI foothills, a New York travelling man who was making trip overland passed an old man who was fishing with hook and linefin small stream As the drummer drove by in @ buggy, the old man never took his eyes off the bobber in the water.j
 When the travelling man. returned late in the afternoon, he was greatly surprised to see the old man still ing the same po- sition. with his eyes gluedfon the bobber.
 Hello, uncle!" he shouted. Any luck today?"
 Without taking his gaze off the cork which rested on the surface of the placid stream the old man replied:
 Had nibble long fabout noon."

Total Abstinence Better

"The statewide prohibition movement has proved a miserable failure" said John T. Everson of St. Louis.
 T was in Texas recently and found more or less excitement over the state wide campaign In progress there. The election takes place in July, and my pre- diction is that the state-widers will be defeated by a decisive majority. And this Texas campaign will probably end the movement in its present form of the anti-saloon leaguers who forced statutory prohibition on the people of some of the states.
 within the past IS months the ultra prohbitionists have been beat in every state where a contest was made-either in the legislature or at the polls Ala pama, where the severest of all laws had been enacted, is back in the local option column. am not politician, but 1t seems to be that the democratic party was wise and just when it incor- porated the local option plank in it's platform. have usually voted the republican ticket, but l have long ad- mired the democrats for certain things, and the party's firm local option stand is one of them. It riled me considerably when northern emssaries came south and tried to split the democratic party with their prohibition propaganda.
 "I believe total abstinence is the only safeguard against the evils of liquor. am not total abstainer today, but it has been many years since I drank any, thing stronger than beer or domestic wine.

Martin W. Littieton. the distin- guished Brooklyn congressman, is one of the finest orators in this country" said a man of culture who knows him personally and has heard him speak several times. His voice is musical and the matter of his discourse Is fresh and full of pith.
