More Important Than Politics.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
While everybody is more or less excited
about politics, it might be we'll to pay q
bit of attention to something far more
important We refer to the crops
Happily the prospects are good. From
the prairies of the west come promises of
bopnteous yields Of grain. Of hay. forage
ana smaller crops. In the south the
planters, with ideal weather conditions
and soil better watered than In 4 decade,
talk Of raising more cotton than they
have averaged in the last ten years.
So long as these conditions prevail the
country can afford to let the bosses and
leaders wrangle, for In the last analysis
it is upon the crops and not upon the
politicians that we depend for prosperity.

TEN RULES MAKE
HUSBAND TYRANT
Unusual NuptiaI Agreement Is
introduced as Defense in
Alienation Suit.

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, oct. 1S.-Ten
adamant rules of obedience that Louis
Eccleston drafted and made his wife
promise she would observe. before he
would become reconciled to her, were in
troduced at the hearing in Oakland of the
s25, 900 damage suit of the woman
against Charles Eccleston. her brother
in-law, for alternating the husbands al
lection.
Mrs. Eccleston. whose maiden name was
Maude Johnston, induced the minister
who married her to Eccleston, a wellto-
do Fresno grocer, to drop the word
obey from the marriage ceremony.
When Eccleston learned Of the omis-
sion, she maintained, he sought the COM
pany of a divorced woman. He was
about TO marry this woman when they
were reconciled, only TO be divorced later.
The decree was granted to Mrs. Ec-
cleston on the ground of desertion and
she then began the damage suit against
the brother law, declaring he was re-
sponsible for breaking up her home
The answer of Charles Eccleston to this
is the rules of the husband that he intro
duced in evidence. Here are the rules:
Do as l say in all matters that may
come up.
2. Tell me the truth about everything |
ask
g. Take me into your confidence and
never let the smallest thing go unsaid.
4. Let the cook go
s. Let me see all the letters you write
to your sister Olive
g. Treat me as if | were the stronger
of the two, as you say | am, and con
slider that l am the master of the house,
Il Show me by your action and affection
that you love me.
