Try To Be Funny.

My next piece of advice, if your
husband twits YOU about your age.
or any other popularity is to sit
down and diagram his remarks.
and see if he isn't only trying to be
funny and witty when you think he
is being cruel. That's often the
case. There are plenty of men
whose whole supply Of humor con
sists in holding their wives up to
ridicule.
Don't you know some man whose
pet dinner table story is about some
foolish eNtravagance of his wife?
or another who never gets his wife
out in company without telling how
she signed a check, Yours loving
ly2' or another man who has
made up "a perfectly killing arec-
dote about his wifo's frantic ankle
" about him when he was two
hours late getting home some eve
ming
These stories don't i'm the least
indicate. as they seem TO. that these
men consider their wives fools and
idiots, or wasturs uC money. ON
the contrary, the men admire their
wives very much and wouldn't have
them changed, and have no ldea
that they stab ,hyir wives i'm the
heart every Time they maE, .ne
uumu n.a Nu.a-r. and mistake.

A soothing, conservative tone was
the caief characteristic OF Temporary
Chairman Roots speech at the Chica-
90 convention If il sounded the KEY
note, as it is always supposed to do. 1t
was key note OF peace. Throughout
his utterances the senator kept aloof
ION the factionad disturbances within
his party, paying ample credit to the
Roosevelt administration for its work.
insisting that the Taft administration
had merely executed the Roosevelt
policies. and that the party had stool
with the people in its performance or
its duties.
There was nothing especially strik-
ing in the address from the temper
airy chairman. whether it be consid-
cred as piece Of political literature
or as a campaign slogan. That the
crowd was not enthused was not re-
markable. There was little in it to
Cnthuse. If the New York senator
{ phrase maker his capacity in that
direction was held down by the con-
ditions that confronted him. He in
dulged in no flights OF oratory. reduc-
ed his assaults upon the Democratic
party TO weak charges OF opposition to
the tariff as a protector OF American
labor, and, while claiming much for
bis own party, was quite moderate in
/ mis- language along that line.
Roots speech furnishes no material
Tor the campaign from the Republican
side. 1t was not the sort of an utter
ance that awakens attention, prOyokes
controversy, or ELECTS support. There
was nothing stirring in it, nothing cal
Culated to strengthen devotion to par
ty, or awaken political fervor. No one
will question that Root, under differ
ent environment, could have given his
party ringing speech, one full of
snap, life, or electricity. AS it was.
he served it pretty dead summary of
party claims. Facing the probable de-
struction of his party as a great ma,
tional organization one would think he
might have evolved a speech for con-
cord, for mutual concessions and
final reconciliation of contending in
terests. That he failed to do this and
gave the convention the speech he
did seems to pretty we'll indicate the
utterly depressing effect of the inter-
rational discord upon the most prom
inent leaders of the Republican party.

BOND ISSUE CARRIED
IN CORDELE EASILY
They Will Pave the Principal
Streets

Cordele, June 20.-That Cordele is
to begin at once the paving of her
principal business streets, the erection
of a school building on northern
heights and the extension of the mu-
nicipally owned waterworks. was def
nitely determined here by the election
held for the purpose of obtaining thu
desires of the electors of the city vita
refer ence to the four important is
sues.
A favorable expression of twO-thirds
of the registered voters was required
by law. The list showed that $40 were
registered. Or this number 438 voted

works improvement and 447 for sewer
extension. The largest number Of
votes polled against either of tae is
, sues was ia, asa.n wa,erworAs I'M

As soon as the final count was hai
at $50 o'clock the result was an
nounced with one of the most enthus-
iastic demonstrations of any local cleo

Crisp county more than five years ago.
Practically every steam whistle in
the city was opened up for at least
thirty minutes, there was to be heard
the ringing of numerous bells of diff

+mong the throngs of several hundred
men, women and children who had

A DAY IN JUNE

Ana wha' is so day in June?
Then, il ever. perfect days.
Then Eea.en tries the earth if it be in tune
And it softly her warm ear lays
Whether We look whether we listen;
We hear Life murmur, it glisten;
every clod feels stir of might
An Instinct within it that reaches and towers
And cropping blindly above it for light
Climbs soul in grass and flowers:
The flush of life may we'll be seen
Thrilling back hills and valleys;
The cowsIp startles in meadows green
The tAttercup catches the in its chalice
And there's never leaf a blade too mean
TO be some happy creatures palace;
And lets his illumned being oerrun
Aut like blossom among the leaves,
The little bird sits at his door the sum-
With the deluge summer it receives;
His matt feels the eggs beneath her wings
And the Heart in her dumb breast fuers and sings;
he sings TO the wide world and she to her nest
In me nice ear of Nature. which song is the best?
Now is the high tide the year.
And whatever life hath ebbed away
Comes flooding back, with Iipply cheer
And into every bare inlet creek and bav:
Now the heart is so full that drop overflls it.
We are happy now because God Wills it,
NO matter how barren the past may have been
lis enough for us that the leaves are green;
Ne:slt in the warm shade and feel right we'll
How the sap creeps up and the blossoms swell;
We ma yshut out eyes, but we cannot help knowing
mat skies are clear and grass is growing;
The breeze comes whispering in our ear
That dandelions bossomng near
That maize has sprouted that streams are flowing
That the river is bluer than the sky
That the robin is plastering his house hard by;
And II the breeze kept the good news back,
For other courers should not lack;
We coad guess it all by yon heifer's lowing
And bark: how clear bold chanticleer
Warmed With the wine of the year,
Tells all in his lusty growing!
