THE RIGHT GIRL TO MARRY
Young Women Inexperienced ir
 Housekeeping Make Good Wives.

What a mistake young man makes when he Wcds q domcstcated woman He misses everything; he never learns what it means to live; he settles down at once to .a hum drum existence without trace of novelty.
 What he should do is marry a Wo- man who knows nothing of cooking. baking, buying, etc: then he gets novelty all the time, and lives in d whirl of surprises. He has to sam pie all her cooking; he begins with meats burned to cinder: he eats buildings to which no one could give a name.
 He observes that the meats grow better and better day by day. and the buildings become things one could name. And fancy the delight of find- ing out that his wife knows nothing Of the joys of spring cleaning! She asks his advice, and the pair use up glorious hours roofing out spiders and hordes of germs and other in teresting things.
 The domesticated woman is stale. she makes a man old q month after marriage-he is a soured old married man ere he knows what is happening. There is one huge happiness con nected with the untrained woman the man, with her. can stay as late as he likes at the office" His wife
 does not know enough to inquire
 sternly where he has been; any faxed up story satisfies her-she is joy for long Then she does not pur- chase her husbands collars, socks, and so forth, and he is not made to face the world like a circus clown. To be sure, the most inexperienced woman becomes capable eventually worse luck. A man then settles down to being reader of the evening pa pers: he sits down in his armchair at nights and smokes his pipe; hs slippers are waiting for him when he comes home from business. He is by then a man of experiences; he has l lived and learned.
 Yes, young man. marry girl who knows nothing of all the domestic arts, that way happiness lies; but by
 marrying an experienced housewife why you're an old married man in a few weeks Answers, London

THE COLISEUM.

Will somebody please call a dray? What for? Why, to carry the flies away. If there is a live fly left in Phoenix. it must be of the baseball variety for there were about three car loads, more or less at the Coliseum last night. Free Swatters were given to the youngsters during the week and they were told that a bag of game con- sisted of fifty dead flies would admit them to the performance Friday night
 They were all there and so were the flies. After the last, sad rites have been said over the price of admission. Phoenix will certainly be a cleaner spot in which to dwell. The kiddies appeared to enjoy the program provided for their benefit immensely and cheered lustily and without favor for the vaudeville acts, the motion pictures and the slides of natural history and current events.

THE MOST WONDERFUL MAN
IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD

up in song 10 Him in churches
and Sunday Schools and missions
all round the world; that the mob
lest music the world would ever
hear would be music celebrating
the birth, the life, and the death OF
this little Babe; that the highest
and purest art of all time would be
that in which the story was told of
the young Child and His mother;
that the noblest architecture the
world would ever see would be that
which prepared a shrine for the
worship of this Babe of Bethlehem;
that His birthday would be kept all
over the world as a day for giving
gifts and sharing pleasures, and
that it would be the happiest day
of all the days of the whole round
year?
mo: none of us could have con-
ceived of such a history as that ID
whose beginnings we look back Oh
Christmas Day. There has been no
parallel to it in the annals of the
centuries. The facts which | have
recited give some indication of the
place that He has won in the
thought and affection of mankind;
but there are those of us who be-
lieve that the greatness Of His do
minion is yet to be achieved; for it
is only within a generation that the
real nature of His kingdom has be-
gun to take possession of American
thought The world is now at last
beginning to see what Christianity
means; that it really proposes to
shape the whole of human society
here and now according to its law
of good will; that it calls us to
supplant strife by cooperation, and
suspicion by sympathy; to make
the spirit of Christmas the law of
every day in the year. 1t has ia
ken the world a long, long time to
get hold of the real meaning O..
Christ's life and teachings and
death, but it begins to dawn upon
us in these first years of the TWEEN
tieth century; and when the christ
ian Church learns to put the en-
phasis where it belongs, His king
dom will come, and His will be
done in earth as in heaven"
