FROM OTHER PENS
1T WILL PAY HIM.

We quite agree with the Kansas City
jurist who has ruled that the wifi up
there who hasn't been to a show in
twenty-three years must be taken to
the nickel theater, by her husband ones
d week eafter-hang the expense
To be sure, the procedure of the
Kansas court may seem of a kind
to pile up the cost of living. Granting
that this is true, however, and that in
carrying out the judicial order the
husband is shy ten cents every week
above what his family operating ex-
penses have heretofore been, the de-
cision is nevertheless a wise as well
as humanitarian one.
A nickel show once week is none
too much of a treat to give a good
wife. We know bachelors who would
without a murmur make it two per-
formances every seven days for the
sake of having wife to treat so Law
ishly. The woman who is shown such
consideration will doubtless repay her
good man for the outlay by a greater
exhibition of affection, shown in
myriad of ways. So the investment
of a nickel every week for his wife's
pleasure-money thrown away, it might
at first be thought-will in reality pay
a handsome profit in tangible results,
to say nothing of the feeling the hus-
band will have of being liberal spend
er and all-'round model man.-Sprinz-

Morocco may be said to be mentally,
morally and physically in the condition
it was in centuries ago, when first visit
ed by civilized beings; but with the
carrying out of the plans devised for
its advancement and civilization by
the French. who are now in control,
its people will be forced to move on
ward and upward to some extent, and
their country will be turned to some
extent also to the uses of the civilized
world. For, improvements of various
kinds are projected, the most impor-
tant of which will be found in the con-
struction of three railroad lines, which
will open the land to commences and
travel.
What is said about Morocco will ap-
ply equally to TripoH, according to the
report of italian Premier Giolittf, who
states that Turkey has never done any,
thing in Tripoli beyond the adoption
of measures to force collection of tax
es; but that Italy has during the past
six months practically exterminated
the cholera, and that the city itself
will soon have an electric street rail-
way and automobile service, while
steps are under way to make it the
best port on the north coast of Africa.
In both cases, however, the European
nations concerned have a long and
difficult task before them.-Brooklyn
