BY GARRETT p. sERvIss.

In the first OF this series OF articles.
concerning some Of our great predecessors
in America. described the gigantic Tri-
| seratops.
Today We have to do with an animal
equally gigantic and perhaps even more
wonderful. the Stegosaurus. or roof
backed lizard which probably lived still
earlier than the Trceratops, along the
great. shallow inland sea which crossed
the continent east Of the present line of
the Rocky mountains. in the geological
epochs known as the Jurassic and Gre
taceous eras.
twenty-five feet seems to have been
very common length for the monsters
Of that time. These were the dimensions
Of the StegosaUsus as well as OF the
Triceratops. Biologists call their time the
Age Of the Great Reptiles" Evidently
they needed TO be big and strong, for
everything about them indicates that they
passed their days in fighting for their
lives.
They were armed and armored from end
Of snout to tip of tail. Man found war
full panoplIed upon the earth when his
turn came to take up the struggle for
existence. He initiated the armor and the
weapons Of his predecessors. His spears
were modelled after the great horns OF
the Triceratops and his shields after the
immense bony plates OF the stssosaurus.
When he began TO fight. he fought as
the great reptiles had done, foot to foot
and hand TO hand
The Stegosaurus was more wonderful
In its defensive armament than a mod
ern battleship. When it reared itself on
Its mighty hind legs. brsced and anchored
by its ton or more Of tail. IT must have
lowered fifteen or twenty feet high
The imagination cannot go astray in
picturing the terror Of the scene when
one Of these tremendous creatures were
attacked by its enemies.
The pitching and plunging OF the enor-
nous body. the terrible strokes. the
growing. roaring and snaTllng Of the
combatants. the threshing among the
trees. the fall Of the conquered shaking
the ground. the plunge into the water
In the effort TO escape-these things are
told in the very form Of the creatures.
There was one thing about the stego-
Omaha daily bee., 1912-04-12

as hairs breadth. the way her husband
treats her after he has fallen into the
habit Of tyrannizing over her and abus-
ing her. but any woman with a grain Of
sense and the backbone OF an angle
worm can prevent herself from ever be-
coming the victim Of bully.
Every wife decides just hcw her hus-
band shall treat her. and she gets just
what is coming to her. IL she will stand
for insults and being sworn at she will
be sworn at and insulted, but II she
insists .on being treated as a lady, she
gets the respect due to a lady, II, from
her wedding day. she insists upon a fair
share Of her husbands income she will
get 1t, but II she stays in the back
ground. and wears made over clothes
while he flaunts about in joyous raiment.
she will always be left at home, while
he goes abroad TO enjoy himself.
II young wife begins meeting a hus-
band at the door with a sweet smile and
an ice pack when he comes home drunk,
she'll have to keep doing II till the end
OF the chapter. II she forgiyes his every
time he goes sidestepping. and loves him
still. he won't think It worth while to be
faithful to her. but II he knows that he
has either got to walk straight or face
divorce proceedings, it's the narrow path
for him. .-
The only reason on earth that women.
as class, are more moral than men Is
because men have forced them to be. A
man does not forgive an erring wife. and
therefore women behave themselves,
whereas the women shuts her eyes to her
husbands frailties. and he takes advan-
tage OF this to do as he pleases.
In my opinion the chief reason that
men get tired of their wives is because
the wives haven't got enough spirit and
Independence to make the matrimonial
game interesting. It's human nature not
TO value those who hold themselves
cheap,y. and no woman ever does a more
fatal thing for her own good than when
she lets her husband find out that he
can use her as be pleases, and She will
meekly overlook 1t, and that her love
is of the kind that nothing will kill.
The women men love. and are faithful
to. are the capricious, hard-to-please
ladies' whose affections are as slippery
as an eel, and II you will look about you,
you will observe that the wives who de-
mand most of their husbands not only
get it, but have the husbands who are
most devoted.
The foregoing remarks are intended as
tips to young wives. The old wife who
can stu love a man who neglects and
abuses her is not a subject for newspaper
adylca. She is a study for allen'sts.

insult her; after relating that he has
tired of her and forsaken her for some
other woman, and that he spends his
money rioting with his companions, leav-
ing her and the children to half starve,
and after writing that he, perhaps, beats
her in his furies when she demonstrates
with him for his conduct-the woman al
most invariably winds up by saying;
what can / do? don't want TO leave
my husband, because, IN spite of the way
he treats me, | love him stlll'
Isn't that the inscrutable feminine at
Its most welrdly mysterious moment?
Can there be anything more curious than
that a woman should love q man who so
mlstreated her? Or could there be any
thing more eyRicalIy funny than that a
woman should blandiy ask for some re-
liable recipe for changing her husbands $
nature, and converting him from
rounder or a beast into a loving, tender
domestic spouse?
You don't know whether to weep over
such a woman or TO laugh at her. But
It is easy enough to answer her question
What shall wife do who Is married
10 a man who neglects her and illtreats
her. but who still lives him so much
that she doesn't want to leave him?
The answer is-stand 1t without whin'
ing. II you have no more spirit than the
whipped dog that licks the hand that
bears IL, at least forbear TO disturb other
peoples peace by bowling about your
grievances.
To decent, dignlned woman, with
any shred of self-respect, there are but
two courses open in dealing with hus-
band who neglects and abuses her. One
is 10 pack her trunk and get up and
leave him. And the other is, II she stays
with him, to cover her bruises from the
gaze Of the world, and TO bear her
troubles in silence. It's Up TO her TO
either hiRe out and leave the conditions
that she finds so afflicting, or else to
put up a bluff at liking them. but she
hasn't any right to stand being neg
lected. and then bedew the innocent by
stander with her tears over an unfaithful
husband.
As for a wife changing the attitude OF
her husband who neslects her, and who
is surly, and grouchy. and niggardly TO
her, that's an impossibillty. No wife can
work that miracle. II takes some other
woman to do 1t. and :, myself have seen
a brutal husband. who had literally killed
two gentle, refined. delicate wives by
his cruelty. so tanned and henpecked By
a third wife that he dared not call his
soul his own.
No! No woman can alter, by so much

And so you intend TO rear your little
daughters to shun and avoid your kin;
and In all this you feel Justified through
some strange method or reasoning.
To my thinking the calling OF tho
blood and the call of the soul should
prevent you from taking such stand.
The unfortunate girl who has dis
graced her name needs you now more
than ever In her life. 1t Is your hour to
stand forth and prove yourself worthy
Of the title Of good wife and mother and
! good woman, which you claim are yours
by right Of your own behavior.

shone forth more fully than when lie

That would be no more inhuman than
what you are doing.
How can an unfortunate girl rise
how can she try to climb TO higher ground
n no good woman OF clean life and
secure position Is ready to reach her a
hand and speak word Of encourage
ment?
And now ask yourself, and demand a
true answer:
Would you take this high and mighty
stand OF outraged respectability IL the
unfortunate one were your own brother,
or male cousin?
OF course you would not.
You would permit him the freedom Of
your home; you would let him sit at your

No man is a perfect husband so long
as he feels sorry for himself.
Almost any married man can make his
friends smile py saying he does as he

Every man who IS whipped for sin
claims that other men have committed
greater sins and been whipped less.

he has to get twice as mad as formerly
