Men and Women Should Behave Better

WYE hear a great deal about
Wv the horror of divorce, but
nobody says a word about
the horror of a life being ruined by
vicious or foolish husband or
wife.
What virtue, or what sense is
there in woman submitting to be
dragged down and down through
long years of misery by a drunken
husband? What good is accom-
plished by a man suffering his
whole existence to be made a hell
on earth by a woman's shrewdish
temper and tongue?
My own belief is that if divorce
were commoner than it is. and that
if men and women knew they had
to behave themselves properly and
be reasonably agreeable and pleas
ant at home in order to keep their
husbands and wives, we should see
marvellous reform in domestic
manners and morals. People who
want to hold on to their Jobs de-
velop an amazing self control
One Case In Point.
Life is hard enough for all of
us, at best, when we play the game
as wisely and well as we know
how, and nobody has a right to
queer our calculations and CON
denim us to lose out because he or
she happens to be our husband or
Wife. Here's case in point:
\ splendid young fellow of my
acquaintance is honorably anxious
TO get on in the world. He is a
poor boy but he is capable and
industrious and thrifty. and will
some day be rich man if he is
not held back from success by his
Wife. Ever since this boy began
work he has made II rule 10 save

Foredoolned to Poverty.
man married to this kind Of a
woman is foredoomed to poverty all
his days. He is tied to his coun-
ter, to his bookkeeper's desk. to his
route as drummer, because he Is
always just one lap ahead of the
wolf at the door, and he dares not
give up the position that he has on
the chance of lettering himself.
When opportunity knocks at his
door with a chance to get an in
terest in a business, or buy some
stock In the company he works for.
he can not open the portal because
he hasn't got the golden key that
unlocks It, His fool of a wife has
frittered away his chance in life
over the bargain counter. There Is
nothing for him but to just go on
in the same old rut, getting less
and less pay until he gets to be an
old man and is crowded out alto
gether.
The difference between freedom
and slavery. the difference between
happy and Independent old age
and a miserable, dependent one. is
the possession of money. The man
who doesn't save when he is young
is bound to be a pauper when he is
old. There is no way of whistling
money back to you that has once
passed from your hand. If you will
have il you must keep your grip
on ii.
Women know this as weu as men.
and the woman who really loves
her husband is more anxious to
save and help him get on in the
world than he is to do so himself
With the right sort of a wife, this
problem of saving does not arise.
And when it does arise with the
wrong sort of wife, man is JUS
titled in settling it in a high hand
ed way.
He should refuse to become the
victim of the selfshness OF a wom-
an who regards him only az a cash
register. He should refuse to let
any woman make slave of him.

Fortunately the lad had enough

MINISTER MURDERED,
HIS WOUNDS INDICATE
Governor Promises Rigid In
vestigation OF Death of
American Vice Consul.

COLON, Panama, August 16--La Epoca,
a newspaper Of Cartagena, prints a
photograph Of the body OF William B.
MacMaster. the United States vice and
deputy consul, who was killed while
hunting on the outskirts Of Cartagena
last Sunday. The picture shows what
apparently were three bites in the right
arm, indicating that the vice consul had
q scuff1e with an assailant previous to
being shot.
The text of the governor of Cartagena's
telegram to the foreign minister at b.
gotta and a letter written by Graham ii.
kemper, the American consul at Carta-
gena. published in the newspaper. point
to the theory that MacMaster was muir
dered. The newspaper also contains the
announcement that the Cartagena police
have promised to make a prompt and &C
tive investigation into the case.
American Tells of Case.
The following account OF the tragedy
was told by an American who has arrived
here on the steamship Almirante from
Cartagena
Mr.. MacMaster left Cartagena last
Sunday for his ranch ten miles along the
coast, where he met his wife. Subsequent
~ he went on a hunting trip and not re-
turning up to a late hour in the after
noon Mrs. MacMaster became alarmed,
suspecting because of the previous threats
made against her husbands life that he
had met with treachery. Word was sent
to Mrs. MacMaster's four brothers at
Cartagena and a search for the missing
man was instituted
THE body of the vice consul was found
Monday morning in a ravine a mile from
the MacMaster home. 1t bore marks OF
blows on the right arm and back of the
right ear and there were several bullet
wounds in the region or the heart.
Bullets Are Found.
The bullets were not found when the
first examination of the body was made,
but Consul kemper insisted that the
search be continued and the slugs event
ualy were discovered lodged in the. liver
The pellets were much larger than those
used by Manchester. pointing beyond
reasonable doubt that the vice consul had
been murdered. This belief was con-
trmed by the course taken by the bull
let's and it is presumed that he was shot
from behind and from an elevation.
The body was taken to Cartagena and
will receive burial in that city.
The governor wrote a letter to Consul
kemper Offering his coincidence in the
death of Mr.. MacMaster and declared
that the case would be rigidly investi-
gated

The department faces a deficiency in
the appropriation for its feed bill. Two

one horse for month was $1O.15. This
price advanced s. per month during the
year, but the department; managed to
squeeze through on the basis of the esti-
mates,
