MARRIED LIFE DREARY
WITHOUT LOVE REMAINS

clothes in the family and the bony
parts of the chicken and the privilege
of being bossed by his wife, who makes
Il czar of Russia look like liberal
ruler
For reward he gets complaints and
nagging at home and the conversation
of I. wife who is always reminding him
of August Perkins, whom she might
have married, and who since made a
million.
! Also he's fully informed concerning
all the good clothes that other mems
wives have, and that his wife does not
have, and would like to have.
Now it is only too tru ethat the
charges of both the husband and wife
are justified. Neither one has over,
stated the dreariness of his or her lot.
1t takes money to gid the gingerbread
of matrimony, and in family where
the pocketbook is always lean and emp
ty married life is stripped of all the
gew-gaws and tinsel that dazzled its
victims before they got a close view
of it.
For the poor man and his wife mar
ried life is one eternal round of self
sacrifice and privation. Doing house
work and nursing babies is dull and
monotonous. Doing without pretty
clothes and amusement and gayeties
that all women crave is privation. Ii
is hard and discouraging to a man to
see every dollar that he earns sWal-
j lowed up by family expenses and to
know that he can never get ahead in
the race of life because of the weight
he carries. 1t is hard on man-bit-
ter, biting hard-to know that he must
deny himself every diversion and that
he cannot even stop and rest because
he must keep the pot boiling on the
kitchen range.
Nothing can be done to alter the
dread situation that tens of thousands
of married couples face every day, but
it is worth while calling their atten-
ton to the fact that the only thing
that can tighten their burden is the
spirit with which they meet it.
1t is the point of view that makes
things easy or hard. and if ONLY hus-
bands and wives could put love enough
into their hearts there would be 40
further complain about what their
hands had to do.
Every young man when he beseeches
the girl he is in love with to mar, y
him, does not think of it being an m
tolerable hardship to have to work
and support her. On the contrary
there is a peculiar sweetness to him

would it have been to separate them
then, when l, the one most concerned
knew it as well as they? You can't
deny love. Love is thing to be cult
waited; / mean true love and not the
imaginary kind. 1t must seek its
mate.
Il told them what l was going to do.
A year ago last May l took Brandon
with me and went West l resided in
Reno, New, a year. Last June l was
granted an absolute divorce and the
custody of Brandon, who is everything
to me, because he is Mr.. WENTWORTH
son and my son.
Il will make Boston my home for
the present, so that Brandon may not
be deprived of the companionship Of
his father"

DON'T KILL HAWKS,
EACH is WORTH $50
California Commission Fixes Value of
Bird to Farmers.

Sacramento, Cal, Dec. 3.-"The
hawk is among the most valuable, if
not the most valuable, of birds that
wage war against the foes of the farm
ers," according to a bulletin issued to-
day by the California Fish and Game
Commissioner
1t is estimated in the course of a
year every hawk or owl kills at least
a thousand mice, rats or their equiva-
lent of harmful animal pests. Figured
out in dollars and cents, basing the
computation on the theory that a
mouse or animal pest does a farmer
two cents damage day, each hawk
and owl is declared to be worth just
$40 to the farmer.

man NO GOOD
But TO GET MONEY
Money GrabbGrS Never Can
Understand Women

Chicago, Dec. 3-"Man, poor crea-
turefi ridiculed as well as pathetic, is
too absurd for anything in his attitude
toward women; but let us think as
tenderly as possible of his blindness
for he really means we'll"
In this one sentence mere man was
humbled from his position of import
ance in the significant affairs of the
world and set up as an object of pity
by Miss Helen Louise Johnson, associ-
ate editor OF Harpers Bazaar, in an ad-
dress at the HOmemakers' exhibit
Man, she says, contributes nothing to
the home except money, and this is
nothing as compared to the 1,095 meals
a year that his wife prepares or super
intends.
The poor creature takes everything
for granted, she said and has no
idea of woman's character or require
ments, although for a few centuries he
has lived side by side with her. Bust
ness is his province, and there ends his
function. He thinks all q woman is
good for is to take care Of the home,
He considers this function minor one
and that woman requires no education
to carry on her work
But let us think kindly OF those de-
lightfully trustful men, and if they do
rot do all they should it is because
they do not know how Soon, let us
hope, they will be educated to know
better"

The Ruskin Case.

Sesame and Lilies, and one of the
master minds of English literature, had

five years he had as visitor John Ev-
erett Millias, the famous painter and

After the marriage Ruskin kept up
his friendship with Millais, having pro-
found admiration for him as great
artist and respect for him as man of
honor.

1t is because they lose this illumi-

C6N q ION III DIS CulNdllOuS d lHdullO'
as ever did knight of old.
AS long as a woman is in love with
her husband every sacrifice is robbed
of It's bitterness. She rejoices instead
of complains, that she has the priyi-
lcge fdoing something to make the
life of her adored one softer and
easier.
1t is because husbands and wives
put no love into what they do for one
another that marriage becomes the
irksome bondage that it is, in whici'
two unwilling parties are forced to eX-
tend oegrudged sacrifices and labor to
each other.
, his being the case is it not posi-
BILE tor disgruntled couples to GO
back and get the old, romantic view,
which was the larger and truer view,
of married life. Can they not breathe
the breath of life once more into the
fire of love that has burned down
into ashes on their hearthstone, and
put into their work and sacrifices for
each other that spirit which alone can
make marriage worth while?
For we get back again what we give,
and the bread we cast upon the waters
of matrimony, returns to US in angels
food. Let the wife show her husband
that she joys in her ability to make
his home place of peace and rest,
and that she would rather be his wife
and wear homespun than be any other
mans wife dressed in silks and satins,
and that man will not feel that he is
an object of public sympathy because
he has to spend his money on his fam
lily, instead of in a poker game.
Let man show that he still takes
some interest in holding his wife's
rough, knotted hand and she will
cheerfully work it to the bone for
him, nor will she ever utter a COM
plant about not being able to buy &
$3.50 hat if she feels that it grieves
him because he can't give her a dozen
hundred and fifty dollar ones.
1t is the spirit in which we do q
thing that makes it work or fun, and
the difference between the happily.
married and the nhappily-married is
just a question of whether they love
each other enough to get their pleas.

chief engineer for the Denver & Rio

NEW ROOMS OPEN.

The demand has been supplied. The
Albany hotel of Denver has supplied
it. The hotel has been undergoing
extensive remodeling in the past five
months, and the Albany management
now places at the disposal of its pa
irons, rooms with private baths or
rooms with private toilet and lava
tory at the rate formerly charged for
rooms without similar accommoda-
tions. Rooms with private toilet and
lavatory, s1.50 per day; rooms with
private bath, S1.50 per day. These
are exceptionally fine rooms, newly
decorated and refurnished. For long
time, there has been a demand for
rooms at this rate. The Albany is
the first to supply the demand, and
the wonderment of all is how a hotel
of the Albany's character can afford
to supply its patrons with such ac-
commodations at so low price.
Try one of the $3.50 and SO per
day rooms with bath, and you will be
pleased. Larger rooms with bath,
