HAS BECOME MATTER OF JEST
Woman's Promise to "obey" Husband,
In Marriage Service, Perfunetory
and Without Meaning.

With the advent of the female suf-
rage movement (the teaching Of
which cult may, when the movement
gets somewhat stronger, be introduced
into the common school system OF the
country the word "obey" in the ordi-
nary marriage service, already In dis
favor with the leaders Of the move
ment, will be shaken out Of the prayer
book, to be heard no more on sea or
shore. AS 1t is now the scant recog-
milton this word receives after the
wedding service Is over Is entirely per-
functory. James Douglas in London
Opinion-in England the revolt against
the word obey has already reached for
midable proportions-says that the use
and abuse Of the word is continual and
unblushing perjury In the courts of
heaven-where marriages are made.
To this he adds: "And nobody worries
over 1t. 1t is taken for granted. Arch.
deacons wink at 1t. bishops chuckle
over II, deans crack Jokes over Il.
And with good reason, for their own
wives break the vow Of obedience as
gayly as the wives of laymen. Is there
one clergyman who will venture TO
proclaim from the pulpit that his wife
Invariably and Internationally obeys
him all the year round? We know
there Is not. How, then, can the clergy
expect from laywomen what they dare
not expect from their own helpmeets?
AS rule. the wears wife is a mas
terful dame. and It is well known that
surerance is badge of the cloth.
PROBABLY there are more henpecked
husbands In orders than out OF them.
The traditional curate Is a mild and
umid being, who is born to obey"

SAW HIS DUTY POINTED CUT
Advertisement of John Ware Gaye
Valuable Idea to the ! raveling
Salesman.

While working through Pennsyl-
Vania recently l saw an advertisement
that ought to bring relief to a few dis
tressed SOULS" said the travelling
salesman. 'It headed the personal col
umn and said:
Be 1t hereby known to all my cor
respondents that l have this day de-
stroyed all letters they would wish to
be destroyed. JOHN WARE
THAT notice was 30 extraordinary
that 1 stopped over for late train and
called on John Ware. He was a genial
old man and willing to talk He said
he was person to whom people vol.
UNFAIRLY confided secrets; that many
persons In bursts Of confidence had
written letters to him which they no
doubt afterward regretted having
written.
Sometimes they said, Destroy
this;' sometimes they didn't. Anyhow,
John Ware had kept most of those in
eliminating letters. But now that he
was getting old he had seen what
harm might result from those letters
railing into strange and unscrupulous
hands, and he had burned them and
had taken that novel way OF notifying
his correspondents that they were
safe.
THAT talk with John Ware set me
thinking. The first thing did when
got back to New York was to burn
batch of letters"

That illustrates the Supreme
Value Of Unity.

Big Bill" Edwards, who bosses
New York's street cleaning depart

the City Hall Reporters association OF
the need for united effort among the
city officials. .. .
The men of every organization

can get anywhere In this world 10 by
united effort. We ought to stop think
Ing OF what we would individually
like. and go to thinking Of what we
can do II we do it altogether. And
men can't get together unless they
pack punch. A pessimist Is dead
weight. / wouldn't have him on the

He told this little story Of a bygone
football game to illustrate his point.

good ball that season. Whereas Har-
