THE HUSBAND STEALER

W THEN a husband is unfaith-
w ful to his wife she invaria-
bly, blames some woman
for it.
The man may be 60 years old, as
worldly wise as solomon. and as ex-
perienced as Don Juan himself. and
the woman in the case may be a
year-old girl. but his
wife is firmly convinced that her
husband is a poor, ignorant, unsus-
picious, unsophisticated infant who
has been taken in against his win
by a designing siren with whom he
lacked the ability to cope.
Every day l get letters from an
CRY and neglected wives telling how
their husbands have been stolen
away from them by younger and
fairer women. and reciting the
punishment-and believe me, it's
something terrible. with boiling oil
in it-that they think should be
visited upon these nefarious home
robbers. But there is never word
of accusation against the husband
who has been so careless as to
permit himself to be pilfered by
these light-fingered ladies. or any
suggestion that the wives consider
that the man was any party to the
crime 1t is always the woman.
She did It.
1t is, perhaps. cold comfort to say
to these unhappy wives that the
husband stealer is like the Mrs.
Harris of whom Sairey Camp talk
ed SO much. There "ain't no SIGH a
person" The husband stealer is a
myth. a female Fraukenstein, man
ufactured out of the jealous fanCies
of wives to explain a truth they
have not the courage to accept.
Nor is this strange. 1t is less
woundins to a wifc's vanity to be-
Ieve that her husband has been
violently shanEhaied away from her
against his will than to admit that
he has made a sneak of it of his
own volition. Therefore,. to save
their faces, as the Chinese say.
wives have conjured up this image
of another woman, possessed of
hypnotic powers, who throws spell
over perfectly good and domesti-
Gated husbands and lures them
away from their own fireside
Easier to Pardon "a Victim. "
1t also makes it easier for a
woman to forgive her husband if
she can account for his detection
on the ground that he has been the
victim of some occult influence he
was powerless to resist.
Hence she fosters in her magma
ton the picture Of her husband.

Michael Faraday's Great
Discovery
Bv EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

IN August 81, 1881, the Master
Mind in science, manifesting
in the brain of Faraday, d.
rected his hand to take up a wire
that was conveying a current of
electricity from one terminal of an
ordinary zinc copper acid galvanic
battery to the other, and place it
across bar of soft iron, not touch
ing the iron.
The eye of man hath not seen an
event more wonderful than that
which followed; the iron at once
became a temporary magnet and
attracted iron filings.
Faraday then wrapped thread
around the wire to insulate it-that
is, to prevent contact of metal
and made one turn of wire around
the piece of iron; its magnetism
was increas ed. Then he made
coil of many turns, like thread on a
spool, and secured a strong magnet.
BY moving a wire in front of this
temporary iron, instead of perma
nent steel, magnet, increased cur
rent was obtained, depending on
the number of turns of wire and
speed of the moving wire.

pounds less, and has fluffy golden

Thus does the feminine mind
move it's wonders to perform, for
by dwelling persistently on this
view of the matter the wife is en-
abled to accumulate a fund of pity
that entirely blots out her hus-

Erring Hunt Temptation.

1t is utter nonsense to talk about
a business man being the helpless
victim of his stenographer, be-
cause at the very first roll of her
eyes In his direction he could have
sent her packing, if he was so
sternly opposed to a Irritation as
his wife believes that he was. Let
it not be forgotten that men have
always the opportunity, and the
ability. to run away from women if
they ardently desire to do so. No
adventures is fleet enough of foot
to overtake a man unless he is
willing. and when she captures him
it is because he has been at least
guilty of contributory negligence in
not making a getaway.
1t is sadly true that most of the
tempted go out and hunt up temp
tation on their own account. and
that as long as we keep to the right
side of the road the devil passes by
on the other without bothering US.
Certainly this is the case as re-
CARDS the unfaithful husband. It is
the man with the rowing eyes who
sees every pretty face. 1t is the
man who seeks adventures that
finds them. 1t is the man who
opens champagne for chorus girls
who has to pay the bill. No wom-
an can hold a man or make him
seek her society against his in
clination, as these same neglected
wives know to their sorrow.
Perhaps if wives would realize
that their missing husbands have
strayed of their own accord. and
not been stolen, they would find a
better way to get them back. Ger
they might consider that household
pets with such migratory instincts
were not worth getting back at all.
But at any rate, they would serve
justice by putting the blame where
it belongs, for there are no hus-
band stealers. The worst that
woman does under such circum-
stances is to become a receiver Of a
heart that does not honestly be-
long to her.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-08-13

and there isn't woman living who
is skillful enough to jimmy her way
into his heart and steal it.
Upon the good, honest father of a
family, absorbed in his affection
for his wife and children, the
smiles and the languishing looks of
the fascinators slide off as harm
lessly as water off a ducks back
He never even perceives them He
never notices whether his stenog-
raphers and salesladies are houris
Of beauty and grace, or as homely
as mud fences. All that he is in
terested in is how they can spell,
and the correctness of their sales
slips. He's simply chained to the
domestic altar. and it would be
easier to steal the family watch
dog than it would be to rob his
home of him

All Due to Faraday
And His Experiment.

Make thirty or forty US weigh
ing a few tons each, bind them to-
gether on a huge yoke or frame Of
iron from thirty to forty feet in
diameter. Make coils and bundles
of insulated wire into a cylinder
weighing many tons. Move the
curved ends of all the US close as
possible to the cylinder TO allow
free motion. Buy two double COM
pound engines to turn the bundle in
air space against invisible resist
ance and insensible to the human
body, but very sensible to conduct
ing metals. Let the compound en-
gines be of 5000 or 10000 horse
power each.
Buy a dozen Of these gigantic
sets of magnets and rapidly re-
volving bundles, assemble in
large building, start the huge en-
gines, after having built a num-

bundle, place on an axis in the
center of the circle of electro mag
nets and turn the bundle.
You could turn it a few times by
hand possibly. Try to turn it fast
er, you would feel a mysterious
pull, attraction or force working

Go buy an engine to turn the
coils of wire Then this would feel
the pull of magnetism, and the pull
would increase with EACH revolu-
ton. Put on more steam, increase
speed and likewise the pulling force
and work up to limit.

war. No humane man or loyal citizen,
North or South, today defends the

the doctrine Of States Rights. The
institution was once defended. The

that war was inevitable" s,
The speaker reviewed the institu-
ton of slavery from its Introduction
in the American colonies, showing
its economic, its moral and its polit-
ical phases North and South. He
reviewed the rise of the doctrine OF
State Rights from the adoption OF
the Federal Constitution, through
John C. Calhoun exposition in 1923
and the outbreak of the civil war.
The history of the fifteen succeed
ing years before the war he clearly
and fairly treated. Upon the thresh-
old of the war he paused to define
the issue, Can State, having ratl-
| flied the Federal Constitution and
become a part Of the Union, leave
that Union at will?" He answered
the question from both the stand
point of the North and of the South

showed the terrific cost of the strug-
Gle. He paid a fair tribute to the
ability, valor and sacrificing devo-
ton Of the South to its cause. But"
said he, my work today is to pay
tribute to the men who wore the
Blue" and eloquently did he do so.
He spoke of Grant, Sherman, Sheri-
dan, Thomas, Mcclellan, Meade and
others of the military leaders and of
the hosts that followed. He spoke
of the heroes of the sea-Lieutenant
EWorden and his Yankee Cheese
Box"; Capt. Winslow and the Kear-
sage; Commodore Foote'S on. the
Mississippi; Admiral Fartagut on
the Gulf, and Fisher and Dupont on
the Atlantic Coast.
He spoke tenderly of those who
died upon the battlefield OF Of
wounds and diseases. What tongue
or pen" he asked, can adequately
describe their suffering Or inscribe
their fame, or who can measure the
Offering Of those who waited by lone
lily hearths with aching heart and
fearful eye for the football that would
neve be in time"
Even more tenderly did he speak
of the dead at AndersOHxille, but
