KANSAS CITY, Mo.-In granting a

Gee, a policeman, against Mrs. Lou
fsa S. McGee, Judge T. A. Frank
Jones, in the Circuit Court, arraigned
wives who have shown themselves to
usurp the authority of their husbands
He dwelt upon the relationship that
should exist between husband and
wifo. and traced this relationship
from the day of the cave man through
the ancient common law of the Anglo
Saxons. He declared that the law
of today has made little change in
the fundamentals of this relationship
as 1t was in the times of Holy Writ,
when the command, wives, obey
your husbands" was made. The hus-
band alleged general indignities,
which the wife denied. The Judge
said
"A man is the master of his own
household. The law vests certain au-

A Lesson for Diplomats.

Elihu Root, at the luncheon in
Providence preceding the dedication
Of the John Hay Memorial library at
Brown university, said of John Hay:
"His diplomacy was gracious, and
It was prudent as well. remember,
IN an argument about a certain inter
national complication, how very
warmly and aptly he once insisted on
prudence.
1T was the Christmas season, and
he said that we might learn a lesson
from a little girl who was naughty in
the early part of December.
Dear me- her mother said, If
you're going to be naughty I'm very
much afraid Santa Claus won't bring
you any presents.
"The little girl frowned.
"'Well,' she whispered, you needn't
say 1t so near the chimney"

NEW YORK.-A we'll dressed young

Gently been visiting homes on the
East Side that have been visited by
death, exchanging sympathy for a
square meal. In most cases he left
the houses richer not alone by food
but by substantial gifts of money and
clothing, His last experience, though,
sent him away somewhat less sympa-
thetic than when he approached the
mourners.
II Is customary in Jewish homes for
the husband or wife and the children
Of dead person to observe a period
OF seven days mourning, in which
they sit constantly together in one
room. In these seven days, called the
'Shiya," the mourners' grief is unre-
Strained save for such comfort as
they can draw from their religion.
In the midst of this period of
mourning there recently appeared at
one house a rather good looking
young man with infinite pity in his
sad brown eyes. Like all other com
ers at such a time, he was ushered
directly into the room of mourning.

Elephants S Sense

"An elephant of mine," said the ele-
phant trainer, has been taught to
pump the trough in his winter quar-

Mawgli-I call him Mawgli after
Kipling's hero-showed his sense the
other day.
1T was like this. One Of the logs
supporting the trough had got dis
placed. The trough slanted, and as
fast as Mawgli pumped the water in,
it ran out on the floor l watched
him to see what he'd do.
He pumped away for long time
before he noticed anything wrong
Then he left the pump and came and
nosed the trough over, grunting dis
contentedly. The thing was still
empty; so he returned to the pump
again.
Twice he stopped pumping; twice
he studied the trough. Then all Of
sudden, he gave sharp quick trum-

you'll have TO walt for Mr.. Dawson.
| remember now that he said he
might be In court this afternoon"
Mr.. Montagu had been observing the
young lady before him, not brazenly
and impudently, but in a SHY and
modest way. He put her age at
twenty, and he saw that she was fair
to look upon-daughter Of a widow,
perhaps, and had seen better days.
After he had seen her walk across
the room he made up his mind that
she was almost another goddess.
They were beginning to cross his
path, and he might meet a third one
in day or two, All at once a bright
idea seized him, and after turning It
over for couple of minutes he said:
ITS not a legal case. after all, and
perhaps you can help me-"

beautiful girl in the world"

since this is not legal case, let me
