Foredoomed to Poverty.

A man married to this kind of a
woman is foredoomed to poverty all
his days He is tied to his coun-
ter, to his boOkkeeper's desk. to his
route as drummer, because he is
always just one lap ahead of the
wolf at the door, and he dares not
give up the position that he has on
the chance of bettering, himself.
When opportunity knocks at his
door with a chance to get an in
terest in a business. or buy some
stock in the company he works for.
he can not open the portal because
he hasn't got the golden key that
unlocks it. His fool of a wife has
FILTERED away his chance in life
over the bargain counter. There is
nothing for him but to just go on
in the same old rut, getting less
and less pay until he gets to be an
old man and is crowded out alto
gether.
The difference between freedom
and slavery, the difference between
a happy and independent old age
and a miserable, dependent one, is
the possession Of money The man
who doesn't save when he is young
is bound to be a pauper when he Is
old. There is nu way of whistling
money back to you that has once
passed from your hand. If you will
have it you must keep your grip
on il.
Women know his as well as men,
and the woman who really loves
her husband is more anxious to
save and help him get on in the
world than he is to do so himself
With the right sort of Wife, this
problem of saving does not arise
And when it does arise with the
wrong sort of a wife, man is JUS
titled in settling it in a high hand
ed way
He should refuse to become the
victim Of the selfshness OF a wom-
an who regards him only az a cash
register. He should refuse to LET
any woman make a slave of him.
and condemn him 10 spend his life

if she refuses 10 listen to reason
and moderation, and it comes to

FRAGMENTS
WONDER if you think tonight.
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

WONDER if you think tonight.
AS | am thinking, of the dreams
That made our years of love so bright
The hopes the plans, the sweetheart schemes
The wondrous home we were to build.
The play IN which You might have played.
Your melodies forever stlled
The poems that | might have made.
Where have they gone those bits of things?
Oh, had we known before they went
The grief a shattered vision brings,
The hopelessness of prayers cement.
Poor fragments, each sorry part
Or what was Love and now is Ruel
hug them to an aching heart
And wonder if YOU see them. too.

W TE hear great deal about
w the horror of divorce but
nobody says a word about
the horror of life being ruined by
vicious or foolish husband or
wife.
What virtue, or what sense Isl
there in a woman submitting to be
dragged down and down through
long years of misery by a drunken
husband? What good is accom-
plished by a man suffering his
whole existence to be made hell
on earth by a woman's shrewdish
temper and tongue?
My own belief is that il divorce
were eommoner than it is, and that
if men and women knew they had
to behave themselves properly and
be reasonably agreeable and pleas
ant at home in order to keep their
husbands and wives, we should see
marvellous reform in domestic
manners and morals. People who
want TO hold on to their jobs de-
yelop an amazing self-control.
One Case In Point.
Life is hard enough ion all of
us AT best when we play the game
as wisely and well as we know
how, and nobody has a right to
queer our calculations and con-
denim us to lose out because he or

ings bank. Then it became "a quar-
