Telling Wives About Their Hus.
bands and How Such Tales
Bring Only Misery
(By Dorothy Dix IN the Denver Post,

A Certain woman knows married
man whom she meets out, now and
again at theaters and restaurants, in
company with flashy-looking girl
wearing many near diamonds, and ex-
aggerated clothes, and peroxide hair.
The married man is always playing
the devoted to the painted lady, and
looks idiotically pleased and flattered,
as if he had had little too much to
drink, and his female companion has
about her all of the expression of the
cat that is about to dine upon the can
ary
Now the married man has at home
a dear little wife and babies, and the
woman who sees him indulging in for
bidden pleasures wants to know if it
isn't her duty to go and tell his wife.
No. A Thousand Times No.
Blasted and accursed be the tongue
that bears the tale of husband $
shortcomings to his wife.
What good could possibly come of
telling woman that her husband is in
love with another woman, or is making
himself fool over another woman?
No woman is 50 ignorant of life as to
think that there is any thing that the
wife can do to better the situation.
There is no household remedy for un
faithfulness- There is no known speci-
fic for keeping a wandering husband
nailed to his own fireside if he has a
rowing disposition,
Whether wife knows where her
husband is and what he is doing or only
suspects it. or is utterly deceived about
it has no more effect on his conduct
than the weather prophecies have on
the weather. We may know it is go
ing to rain tomorrow, but our knowledge
won prevent it from raining.
A wife 5 knowing that her husband is
flirtatious, and that while she 5 walking
the baby with the collie at home he is
opening wine for chorus gills, will not
stop him from doing it.
Neither will her tears nor her re-
proaches because if he considered
her feelings in the matter
he would be treading the
straight and narrow way instead Of
dallying on the primrose path.
Neither can the most Jealous wife
alive chaperon her husband every min
ute of his time, or keep him under lock
and key.
S, what possible good can come of
telling her of conditions that shecannot
change and the knowledge of which can
only bring her misery?
Suppose the wife is really ignorant
of her husbands side stepping, Sup
pose she believes him when he tells her

MRS. M. E. OWEN
 PASSES AWAY
Beloved Representative of Jefferson County Family Died at Home
 of Dr. Gillespy

That was a very unusual life that ended yesterday morning at o'clock when Mrs Mary Elizabeth owen passed away ot the age of S5 years. Unusual for many reasons, for she had not only lived to 2 great old age but had lived those S5 years in the hope and belief of a beautiful re- ligion. She had spent the years doing for others as she would have had them jo unto her.
 She was perhaps the oldest resident or Jefferson county at the time of her death, having come to this county from Green vile, $. C., when little girl. Mrs. Owen was the daughter of Samuel and sarah Tarrant. She was born on May Il, ls25. Her ancestors were of an old and distin- ruished Virginia family, she being a granddaughter of James Tarrant, who was a captain under Washington at Yorktown.
 When her parents came to Jefferson county they settled at old Jonesboro. near Bessemer, on a plantation, where in 1851 she was married to MT. Thomas Her rington Owen, and they lived for many wears at the old Owen plantation four miles below Bessemer. There are many residents living in Birmingham today who recall the hospitality of that lovely old home when her daughter, Miss Geha Owen, was young lady, and later became the wife of pr. John s. Giilespy' MT. Rose Wellington owen, although step child, Mrs. owen reared as an own child and never knew any difference between him and her own lovely daughter just as in later life she did not know any stronger attachment for her own srand children and great grand children than for the step grand, and step great grand thildren. She had but one child of her oAs, Mrs John Sharpe Gillespy, and one step child, MT. Rose Wellington owen, one of the best known citizens Of Jet- ferson county. Surviving her are Mrs. Gillespy. Her lineal grand children are Thomas owen Gillespy, Mrs. Fulton Wim-

Mir. O'Connell's Views

"I apprehend that the quickest way for the city to get the case to the courts would be to notify me to appear before Judge Black charged with oper- ating without @ license," said Superin- tendent O'Connell T do not think there will be any rough work in con- nection with that course, and am free to say that I will agree to that plan if the officials deem it expedient. The company understands that the city license law is applicable in this case from the city's view point. Should Judge Black fine an officer of the com pany, presupposing such course is determined upon, we would immediately appeal the case and the matter would in that way be brought to the atten- tion of the higher courts. l would be glad to see the matter adjusted as quickly as possible"
 President Culpeppsr Exum said yes terday in reference to the reported ar rest of an official of the company that he had heard such a plan suggested and it might be done. However, MT. Exum said Captain Boyd was working on the course to be taken in handling the waterworks case. and that until the city attorney reported he would not talk at length upon the matter.
 Commissioner James Weatherly, be- fore he left for Washington, said that the course of procedure in the water works case depended upon what Cap tain Boyd recommended.
