Give Him a Good Dinner
And With a Smile, Too.

At night surprise the drudge with
good dinner a really good din
ner. Give him a smile with it, and
the same look you had when you
thought he was the One Great man
of the earth Why. even the Office
boy will notice different set to
the shoulders of the drudge when
he gets to work tomorrow, the set
of the shoulders of a man who is
loved and looked up to and believed
in. Maybe he will cease to be a
drudge.
Give him chance; give him =
chance. Forget your dreams and
your ambitions, forget everything
but the drudge and the children,
The drudge who stood by you In
your hour of agony. the drudge who
would cut off his hand at the wrist
to make you and the children hap
Ply.
Come. come, my dear. life is with
you, good wholesome. sensible. ius-
ty, kindly. generous, simple life
life with its thirsts and the drink
to Stake them. life with its fatigue
and the good rest to relieve It, Life
with its tears and its laughter-for
you can't spare either of these twin
sisters and really live. Live every
minute of it, with your heart and
YOUR brain and your soul and win
The right to the glory of it every
minute YOU breathe
And peace go with you you and
the good, kind drudge, who may not
be such drudge after all if you
give him chance and the chill
dren who will rise up and call you
blessed as they would never learn
TO do in any school except the
school of happy and an honest
home.

Easy To Be Ambitious
For Some One Else.

1t is very easy TO be ambitious
for some one else. wonder how
much Roadway that same woman
would make with the work the
drudge does so faithfully and
we'll.
What does your husband have to
make him ambitious dear Wom-
an? How do you help him. pray
tell? BY nagging him and making
fun of him? That's a good way,
isn't it? Why don't YOU try an
other one for a change?
i've seen very commonplace
man made over into comparative
success Just by the faith his wife
had in him.
Have you tried believing in the
drudge to see what that would do?
You can't nag man at home and
expect him 10 bear himself like a
man away from home. 1t takes
courage and spirit and will power
to fight a way up in the world, and
if YOU take all these things out Of
a man before he leaves the house
what weapons has he to make the
fight?
Ambitious" How do you know
whether he's ambitious or not?
What do YOU call ambition, any
way? The wish to get rich?
Fine noble work that is. isn't it?
Selling the body and the soul and
the heart and the mind to leave
a fine monument and rich Wild
ow? It's all well enough to live to
get rich. but why make yourself
believe that you have high ideals
Just because you want an automo-
bile and want the drudge to get it,
some way. any way. only get 1t?
Don't be too sure that YOU are so
much cleverer and so much finer in
every way than the drudge. He
may have his own IDEAS on the sub
jsct even though he does not think
il necessary to nag YOU about them.
Stick to Your Bargain
Make the Best of It.
What shall YOU do? WHY. what
in the name of common sense is
there for YOU to do but to stick TO
your bargain and make the best
of it, It's good morals. good sense

Norwegian Cabbage Salad.

AS an appetizer for other dishes OF
the Dutch supper sort this is without
compare-that Is, where the cabbage
taste Is liked. 1t goes with a beer
drink:
Select hard red cabbage. take Off
all loose and defaced leaves and shred
1t with machine or sharp knife as fine
ly as is possible. Then drop the slaw
into cold water for two hours. Drain
dry and cover 1t with boiling water
not too much-and simmer until al
most cooked. Drain off the water.
add salt If needed, cayenne. sugar and
caraway seeds. putting the last two
between layers Of the cabbage. Two
tablespoonfuls Of sugar and two of the
seeds will be needed. Then cover the
cabbage with boiling cider vinegar
and finish the cooking. This can be
eaten hot or cold.

The Price of Fame,

It was in the Office of one of the big
theaters. lot of actors were hang
ing around, couple of journalists
and a secretary or two. A young
woman dropped in for hasty greet
ing. and then paused moment to
speak to very well-known actor
whom she evidently met for the first
time. The press agents desk was
open, and in corner fas package
of pictures of the celebrated actor.
The latter looked them over, and as
the young woman exclaimed that he
should give her one he said, with an
insinuating smile to the press agent:
"Alas. they are not mine. They be-
long to Mr.. Dash!"
Il can't give any away" said the
latter. Each one costs me 20 cents"
Surely that is cheap" the young
lady suggested.
The press agent ignored her and
turned to the actor.
Cheap? Do you think anybody
would pay that much for your"
And the young lady laughed and
went without her picture.

thought he had heard a sound outside.
He shuddered as he glared toward the
little drawer on the right-hand side of
his desk, in which he knew there was
loaded revolver.
If Alicia would only relent escape
might yet be possible. If he did not
hear from her 1t must be for tonight.
One slight little pressure on the trig-
ger and all would be over.
Suddenly the bell of the telephone
connecting the apartment with the
main hall downstairs rang violently
Interrupted thus abruptly In the
midst of his reflections, Underwood
jumped forward, startled. His nerves
were SO unstrung that he was ever
apprehensive of danger. With trem-
ulous hand, he took hold of the re-
ceiver and placed 1t to his ear. AS he
listened, his already pallid face turned
whittier and the lines about his mouth
frightened. He hesitated a moment be.

he said:

walk nervously up and down the

he expected was at hand.

How could he get out of it? Pacing
the floor, he bit his lips till the blood
came.
There was sharp ring at the front
door. Underwood opened It, AS he
recognized his visitor on the thresh

Pistols and PoiIteness.

Much Of the politeness Of the old.

with the pocket pistol. The same
type Of politeness existed in England
before the Puritan reformation. Now,
that reformation regarded superb man.
ners as an invention of the devil. and
this belief strongly affected New Eng
land, but had little effect on the south,
which was less affected In manners
and customs by the reformation than
was France, far less than England. It
would have been good thing for the
south and France If each had got more

MAKING HOME HAPPY
QUESTION OF RIGHT LIVING YER.
sUs WRONG LIVING.
Every Individual In the Family Has
Some Rights That Every Other
Member of the Household
Should Respect.

1t should be remembered in the
home. that every individual in the
family has some rights that every
other member of the household Is
bound to respect.
The husband and father should be
made comfortable and to feel that his
wishes are to be considered and home
place in which to rest from the
daily grind whether it be the wrestling
living from the soil or labor in any
other walk of life.
These thoughts were suggested by
neighborly call not long since which
showed the thoughtlessness Of a wife.
The husband. by the way. the pro-
WIDER. be 1t remembered. came in from
the field in working clothes and COM
fortably seated himself on the couch
made attractive with cushions of var
ious sizes and descriptions supposed
to be for use.
The tired man had no sooner sunk
into the downy depths Of the support
Ing pillows than the wife exclaimed.
John you ought not to lean against
those pillows in your working clothes,
you will soil them"
The man was not to blame when he
quickly pulled them away from his
doubtless wearied body and threw
them across the room. One naturally
blushed for the thoughtless wife.
There should be nothing In a home

Ing room. or by the man of the house.
whose bodily strength is given freely
that his loved ones may be made
happy and comfortable.
1t Is not we'll thus to confound
values. Surely the man who labors
constantly for others and must have
the welfare Of his family at heart
should be valued above any sofa pill
low no matter how dainty or expen-
sive.
Then there are the rights of the
wife and mother to be always re-
spected. Her especial domain should
be arranged with care and regard
for her convenience. Work in the
