YOUR HUSBAND.
BY IRWIN a. NYE.

Says Travelled writer:
1.-THE American husband is the best
husband in the world" Which is true.
There are exceptions of course.
But take him ali in all. in character,
In generosity of motive. IN fairness and
fidelity, as breadwinner and protector.

type Is the finest, truest and best.
The American husband, to his fam
fly, is "as the shadow of a great rock
in weary land" Is he, l wonder.
fully appreciated?
Advice to husbands" is common
enough and all right in its place. And
the plant Of "unappreciated wives" Is
exploited by many writers who prob
ably tell the truth.
However
It also is true that some wives are
obsessed by self pity and sigh over
their "humdrum lot" who are so en-
crossed in their own woes they over
look the man at their side who needs
help and sympathy.
Totally swallowed up by her griev-
ances or absorbed In her pleasures
many wife forgets the man who wins
her living.
Dear Mrs.
am not unmindful of your deserts
as wife and mother. Of your trials as
homekeeper. But
If your husband Is honest, industri-
oil mi, hn ,rix hn ncf
that is In him for the sake of the fam
fly, you haves in him the greatest gift
the gods can bestow upon a woman.
The good husband gives without stint
and freely. When the family bills are
paid there is little left for him. He is
q sort of hired hand for the family.
And If wife and children are really
grateful and appreciative he minds not
the labor and sacrifice.
But If when he has done his utmost
there is lack Of sympathy if, worse
than all, there Is the hint that he might
have done better, then God pity that
husband!
Your man, my dear woman. is made
of like soul stuff with you. He may
be bigger, stronger physically. but his
sensibilities are Just about as keen as
yours.
He finds 1t easy to do and dare for
those he loves and who love him.
Should he miss the love and helpful
ness that is due him he misses all that
life holds for him.

He began 20 get rich quick and in a
few years was millionaire.
Now
When he worked with his hands he

poor She worked hard, economized.

she lost some of her beauty. What
mattered? They were growing rich
and would enjoy their day of pr0speri-
ty together.
Then the man became thing.
He looked into the face Of his wife
and saw her fading beauty. She did
her best to please him, but the old
charm was gone. And then
This creature In male garments hap
pened to bump into n girl who was
artful, fascinating and pretty. She
looked at him and smiled
She hypnotized the millionaire. He
was determined to have her. He was
rich. He could buy her. And she was
for sale
The end was apparent from the be
ginning.
The male creature sent his high
priced lawyers to the old wife. She
had literally given herself to him, body
and soul, through all the years. The
lawyers offered her much money If she
would agree to the enforcement. She
refused.
The millionaire seldom entered the
home. He was seen here and there In
company with the pretty young girl.
Finally, stung by neglect and hui
inflated by the stories, the wife
brought suit for divorce. And when
the trial came on the newspapers were
full Of the scandal in high life"
Then the millionaire went to Europe
with the pretty woman. And almost
every day the old wife cried.
When the millionaire came back his
new wife was clothed in purple and
fine linen and Jared sumptuously every
day. And by and by the scandal mon
gers whispered other tales about her.
Who was the millionaire? You will
find his name in either Dun's or Brad
treet's commercial reports.
And If you will look up his history
you may find that once he was man.

All The Way.

When you come to wesIisome bit Of the road.
Where the stones are thick and the path is Steep
And the back is bowed with the heft OF the load
AS the narrowing way is hard to keep.
Don't stop just then for wasteful sigh
But challenge the worst with steadfast cheer;
II nowhere else. there is help on high
Go on with never a doubt or fear.
When you reach lonesome bit of the road,
Curtained about with mist and murk.
And you hear faint sounds from the dread above,
Where shivering, grim hobgoblins lurk.
Just laugh TO scorn their doleful cries
This is the place TO whistle and sing:
Brush the fog from your fearless eyes,
And close to the faith OF your fathers cling.
When you stand at a sonowful bit OF the road
And hand you loved has loosed its clasp:
When streams are dry that in sweetness flowed.
And flowers drop from your listless grasp
Zen now take heart. for further on
There are hope and Joy and the dawn Of day.
You shall find again what you thought was gone
'Tis the merry heart goes all the way.
