HIS HAPPY HOME.

She sews the buttons on his
shirt,
And darns his socks with care.
She never fails to be alert
His every woe to share.
She lays. his night clothes OH
the bed
And turns the covers down,
She never fills lis heart with
dread
By Il Suspicious frown.
She gives him what he likes to
eat,
And never makes complaint;
And there is never when they
meet
A hint of cold restraint.
Her faith in him is deep and
great,
She courts his least careSS.
When he gets home to dinner
late
There is no bitterness.
She never scolds because the
folk
Next door have more than
they.
On him she pauses to invoke
Gods blessings day by day.
She strives in every way to ease
The burdens of his life;
You may have guessed ere this
that she's
His mother, not his wife.

H. G. Wells, the novelist, is a most
interesting and convincing taIker on
his pet subject, Socialism. He sees in
the intense solicitude manifested over
the fate of those on the Titanic a
proof that the people are beginning
to realize the immense need of this
heroic quality in those who are rich
and powerful as corrective to the
distrusts and jealousies which are
to disintegrate the exist
ing social order. THE catastrophe, :"
he says, was the penetrating COM
ment of chance upon the entire So
cial situation. Beneath the surface
OF magnificent efficiency was slap
dash ship which was not even equip
ped to save third-class passengers.T They
placed themselves aboard her with
infinite confidence that care was to
be taken of them and they went down
with the cry of those who find them
selves cheated out of life by the su-
preme artistry of chance" Mr.. Wells's
latest book, Socialism and the Great
State" published last month is a
most interesting addition to the list
of .socialistic literature.

BOWSER'S QUIET WEEK.
But 1t Is Only an Interval Between
Outbreaks.

Mr. Bowser went to bed of a Satur-
day night fully determined to devote
the coming week
To invent a new sort of flying ma
chine.
To buying new milk COW.
To experimenting with dynamite 20
kill off mosquitoes.
Tc bringing out a cork leg for cows.
To invent a burglar astonisher.
To making $4,000 year on chick

When he came down to breakfast
Sunday morning his face wore a placid
look. He did not say, as is his wont,
that he had found his collar under the
bed his necktie up in the garnet, and
his socks hanging out of the window,
and that Mrs. Bowser's careless ways
were driving him to the dead-line. Not
a single complaint on any subject. On
the contrary he gave Mrs. Bowser a
great shock by calmly observing:
Il think L will go to church services
with you today"
"You-you don't mean it," she finally
found breath enough to exclaim.
But why not?''
Because you have not been IN two
years"
Well. I'll sure go today"
''But-but-
You think I'll raise a row over get
ting ready. don't you?''
Yves"
Wait and see."
But the last time
Yes, I know I cavorted around and
raised a howl, but that has nothing to
do with this time. You go ahead and
get ready and I'll do the same

ready, and not shout had come from
him. Even when one of his sleeve but
tons broke he hunted up substitute

sc heme but it was turned down so
gently that the mans feelings were not
hurt. Home placid and good-tempered.
By Mrs. Bowser's orders a poor dinner
had been prepared, but Mr.. Bowser ate
with relish and hoped the heather of
Africa were as we'll looked after. An
argument during the evening as TO
why a rabbit should be bob-tailed and
a COW have one as Iona as her body,
but Mr.. BCwSer gave right up when
Mrs. Bowser suggested that it was be-
cause rabbits were not annoyed by
flies. More crickets singing at bed
time.
Thursday-Mrs. Bowser was out of
bed first, and she deliberately replaced
Mr.. Bowser's good socks with a pair
that had yawning holes in the heels.
She waited downstairs for the row to
break out, but none came. He de-
sCended smiling. Poor breakfast, but
no kicks. Man at the gate as Mr.. Bow
ser went away offered to go with him
to the top of Mt. Mckinley. Declined
with thanks. He returned at night
still himself. That is, he was some
other Bowser, and when the cook no.
to herself that she'd give notice the
next day. Bowser smoked and read
most of the evening. There was call
from man who wanted the job of
hunting up his family tree. but he was
smilingly dismissed. No rows and no
arguments. Mrs. Bowser asserted that
the butcher was sending too much bone
with the steak, but Mr.. Bowser made
no reply. Appalling peace and har-
mOny reigned over region 10 miles
square as they went up to bed.

the gate as he left for the office, Mr..

of throwing him over into the yard and
then out again. Street car crowded,

the Colonel has surrounded himself.
There is no ancient symbol for hot
air, so Prof. Hagendorn invented one.
The small vertical lines are in ac-
cord with the rules of symbolism, and
denote a heavy shower from the
clouds of popular disapproval. This
rain dispelIs the heated atmosphere,
as shown in the seven arched lines
the symbol of the rainbow-peace.
Below the rainbow the background is
clear, and the seeds of content are
shown sprouting below the surface of
the earth.
Designing is one of the Oldest of
the arts. There is a form of design
to indicate every one of the sciences,
arts, professions or labors, as we'll as
the emotions, colors, etc, but so Ear
as is known, Prof. Hagendorn is the
first to apply the designers art to a
political cartoon. The impression
ists' and "Cubists" have tried it, but
this design is the first to break into
politics. Perhaps, when he gets back
to a comfortable position on his sec
ond term, President Taft will have
this design worked into a wall paper
motif for the White House.

When the ancients found it neces-
sary to transmit messages, or leave
records, they did it by means of rude
drawings. Later, when they began
decorating their cave walls and clay
pottery, they toned the picture writ
ing into designs. The art of descrip-
tive designing has been advanced to
a point where the professional de-
signer and student of symbols can
almost put the Lords prayer in a wall
paper motif. Every curve and re-
currence of angles made by the de-
sign artist has a meaning all its
own and symbol experts may read
this design. To others, it looks like
a series of graceful curves and clean
angles with no meaning, but it is
nothing less than "A Roosevelt
prophecy"
Prof. Max Hagendorn, who is not
only artist of wide repute, but a
designer of unusual ability, believes
that Roosevelt has reached the end
of his tether, and that the public
which made him a hero and elevat-
ed him to the highest place will
wash him out"

SATURDAY.

he telephoned over to ask Mrs. Bow
ser if she was all right, and when she
answered that a boy had just thrown
a stone and broken window, he said
that it was an incident that could be
overlooked. The stone probably slip
ped as it was thrown.
Home at the usual hour, looking
more placid than ever.
The cook groaned and Mrs. Bowser
shed tears.
During the dinner hour Mr.. Bowser
said this was a good world to live in.
Also that he pitied widowers and
Also, that the fellows who took him
for a chump would find out their mis-
take.
Also, that he was getting to love the
family cat.
Only one caller in the evening. He
wanted Mr.. Bowser to go with HIM
to Lapland after the hides of rein
deer to make ladies' purses, and fig
ured out an enormous profit, but was
tenderly escorted to the gate.

a cabbage was a species of squash,
but he wouldn't even debate the mat

wondering if he would break out be-
