THE CHALLENGED "oBEY."

The nuptial status of the word
"obey," called to the bar by the mar
riage of Miss Una Dugdale and Victor
Duval, is at present the subject Of
spirited controversy in England
There are still to be found no few
women, both married and unmarried,
who see domestic chaos in the omis-
sion of that word from the marriage
bond On the other hand, there are
many who see in its retention and en-
forcement spiritual chaos for the wo-
man, and ripe opportunity for brutal
ization in the man.
In this country the word has been
taken with grain of salt for years
Yet 1t is the one word of its trinity,
love, honor and obey" that can be
reasonably accepted as settled
basis for future relationship.
Obviously one can promise to obey
another-obedienc is voluntary, or
can be. But just as obviously one
can not promise to love or honor any
one, both love and honor being in
voluntary, the results not of our own
wills, but of something quite outside
them-the actions and attitude of
others. For example-it is possible,
even if not desirable to obey brute;
1t is impossible to love or honor him.
Why then do we hesitate at the one
promise which We make in good faith,
the one promise that 1t lies in our
power to fulfill? Does it mean that
in our deeper understanding of hui
man nature, We have realized the fu-
tility of all such promising? "-Jack-
son Daily News.

Well drink to his health and We'll

Forgetting the saw that the wise

When you drink a mans health you

Bob's a good fellow-it's easy to tell
From the toasts to his fortune we all

power lamps give light enough for
closets, stairways, cellars, Railways,
pantries and wood-sheds or store
rooms. Small candle-power lamps
have the double advantage of saving
the customer money when in use and
not costing him so much when acct
dentally left burning. 1t is well
enough to use the new high power
lamps for reading or where well
lighted room is desired but it is safer
for the eyes and better for the peck
etbook to use less brilliant lamps in
rooms where great aomunt of light
is not necessary.
Hall lamps or porch lamps which
are kept buring should be of not
more than two or four candle-power.
These lamps give ample light for so
small space and really cost less
than kerosene. There are numerous
times in every home where 1t is de-
sirous to burn a lamp all night. In
case of sickness a lighted lamp
throughout the night is quite essen
tial. The low candle-power lamps are
a great saving for this purpose.
When it is realized that 16 can
dle-power lamp uses 80 1-3 per cent
more current than IL candle-power,
81 per cent more than an eight can
dle-power, three times as much as q
four candle-power, and FIVE times as
much as a two candle-power lamp,
the economical advantage of the
smaller size is apparent.
If the householder who complains
about the electric light bills from
month to month will observe the
following rules he will find that the
cost for lighting his home is nothing
unreasonable.
Don't waste light.
Use the smallest candle-power
lamps which will do the work requir-
ed
Use refiectors for close work.
Keep a few of the new metal fila
ment lamps on hand for use where
large amount of light is required for
any length of time. They will pay
for themselves many times over.

That his occupation was the same as

uphold his contention, and the stub
born Quong carried his case to the
United States Supreme Court at
Washington, which upheld the finding

THE DEATH-RATE IN
THE CANAL ZONE.

So many records have been broken
in the Canal Zone, since Uncle Sam
undertook to dig the big ditch, that
we have become used to the sensation
and no longer expect anything but re-
markable doings. Whether moving
dirt, building dams, draining swamps
or preventing disease, the Canal Com
mission seems to have no thought in,
view but to make each days work
better than that of the day before. So
we arise merely to put on record that

shows chat during that month, among
1890 white men, women and chill.
dren from the United States living in
the Zone, there were two deaths from
disease, one from malaria and one
from cancer; there was also one,
premature birth. Including the latter.
this is equal to an annual death.rate
OF S.O2 per thousand. Would any OF

hoped by the Newport supporters that
this would put an end to opposition,
but it has not done so. To Offset the
anti-Newport campaign, those who
favor that city plan to offer a reso-

ton as to skill in order for a player
to be eligible to the all-comers. They
favor limiting the list to fifty play

To suit the pleasure of players who
have no possible chance to win, 1t is
alleged,the premier tennis event Of
the American season Is dragged out
from ten days to two weeks, when it
should not last longer than one week.
The effect of this, 1t is declared, is to
largely destroy the charm of the meet

crack players who cannot afford to

w. E. McBrine, formerly chief clerk

Shortly after the forgeries were dis

in Colorado. A warrant was issued
for his arrest shortly after he left
Oklahoma City a year and hall ego.

NICHOLS FREED
FROM PRISON
ACTION OF AMBASSADOR HENRY
LANE WILSON WAS GRATIFY.
ING.

San Antonio, Tex, Sept. 25.-1t has
never been understood here why tns
United States should have consented
to the conviction Of w. C. Nichols,
an American citizen in Mexico, for
the alleged killing of a bandit in
that country, an outlaw whose death
was sought by the Mexican govern
ment, more especially since the evil
dence indicated that he was not
guilty, and much qualification is
felt in San Antonio and along the
border in the action of Ambassa-
dor Menry Lane Wilson in obtain
ing his release from prison. 1t is be-
lieved pardon for the convicted
man will soon follow.
1t is recognized there is an intense
feeling against Americans among the
uneducated masses in the central
and southern portions Of Mexico,
but it should be understood that the
feeling does not exist, or exists
very slightly, along the border. 1t
may be because the MeXicans along
the Rio Grande appreciate the
strength Of this country, it may be
because they are better treated and
have more comforts in the United
States than in their own country, it
may be because a better feeling is
caused by the daily meetings and
trade relations between Americans
and Mexicans along the Rio Grande;
the fact remains there is little anti
American feeling in Texas. Ameri-.
cans in Texas are angered, frequent
ly, by the reports Of mistreatment
Of their fellow citibens in Mexico,
but realize the better class Of Mex
leans are not responsible for it and
look for better conditions soon.
