Tn a recent divorce case it was
shown that the real cause Of
the wife's dissatisfaction with
her husband was because he was
not able to maintain the grand
splurge Of their briaal tour
throughout their everyday life.
The wife had been a poor girl,
stenographer, who married
middle-aged merchant or moder-
ate means. He took her for their
honeymoon to Palm Beach and
other fashionable resorts, and,
dazzled by the magnincence of
the hotels at which they stopped,
she expected the same luxury
ever afterward. The husband
couldn't afford this, and when
called upon to settle Gown into
a very modest city fiat the wife
became peevish, and tretful, and
disgrunued, and considered her
self so i'll used that she finally
took her troubles to the divorce
court.
This is a sad tale, mates. Let
1t be a warning 10 every young
man who is contemplating mat
rimony and who is figuring out
where he shall go with his bride
on their honeymoon.

A DREAM WOMAN
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

Q MALL and graceful and fair to see,
She sat in a nook alone with me-
How often, I wondered had tears believed
Those big, brave eyes In her solitude
She seemed like vine that Destiny
Had set too far from rugged tree,
And a longing to shield her slender form
Swept over my soul like tropic storm;
A longing that out of my heart 1 threw
Lest she might sense it and misconstrue.
Big. brave eyes, each eye star,
Mine TO idolize from afar;
Set like gems in a diadem,
only i'm dreams l worship them
God Of this weird, bewidering scheme.
Why did you give us the will to dream?
Why did You place on Iifes strange sea
The barren island Of Cannot BE?

world are going to see how neces-
sary it is to control the conditions
under which children are propa-
gated and reared.
Science will establish laws and
parents will abide by them. No
criminal no diseased person, no
drunkard, will be allowed to pro-
duce his kind.
Before a marriage license can
be procured, in that day to come,
a committee will investigate the
conditions and decide whether
the parties are pro~er people to
become parents. This will lead
to the preparation Of men and
women for marriage ana parent
hood-the most important occu-
patton of life.
Women Will Be Guarded.
Women will be guarded and
protected before the birth Of
children and taught the wonder
full import Of parental influence.
Men will lift their hats to an
expectant mother, and the child
will be welcomed with rejoicing
and reared as carefully as he was
born.
This was done in the days Of
old Greece, but woman was not
allowed the intellectual freedom
which is hers to-day, and the
world was more cruel and pos
sessed less scientific knowledge.
In the next 100 years Science
is to make marvellous religious
truths, only known now to the
few enlightened minds, universal
facts, and that will help men and
women to go about the propaga-
ton of higher order of human
beings with reverence and pa
thence.
The time will come when it will
seem a matter Of surprise to the
denizens Of the earth that dis
eased and vicious people were
ever allowed to produce offspring.
Meantime, let mothers remember
how much they can do to-day by
keeping their minds uplifted and
their hearts full of love for the
unborn child they are molding.
And let them think before they
become wives of the manner of
men they are choosing for the ia
theirs Of their children.
Every well-born child which
comes into the world to-day viii

Miss Sickles writes-the time still

How Race Will Be Bred.

A day when the propagation of
the human family will be under
as strict a law as the breeding of
fine fowls or blooded stock, with
the additional element Of religion
to aid science. Fine animals are
bred by science-the science of
careful selection and wise mating.
But it requires more elements
to produce a splendid specimen of
the human family than a perfect
animal.
Fine feathers make fine birds,
and tender flesh and certain pro-
ductive and salable qualities com
plete the we'll bred fowl.
The high bred horse needs fine
points, speed and carriage. But
the perfectly bred human being,
such as the world waits to well
come, must be mentally equipped
and morally endowed, as well as
physically developed, and all
these traits should be equally
balanced.
The man Of stunted or de-
formed body or giant proportions,
the anemic and undeveloped tenn
permanent or the oversensuous
and self-indulgent, the material
minded or the spiritual bigot, are
all types to be eradicated. The
ideal race-the coming thorough
breds-will be men of good stat
ure and strong vitality. intellect
ual and reverent, and all anima-
ted with an ambition to work to-
gether toward the betterment of
this beautiful world. Deform-
tiles and degenerates viii be I'M
known, save as accidents.
There are few deformed ami
mails, because animals, even when
left to themselves, breed their
young more according to nature
than the average man. All de-
formity of mind and BODY is the
result of wrong conditions-ig-
norance, self-indulgence, extreme
poverty and extreme luxury. BY

could lead him. He spends hours

nothing else of life but the privi-

ing the praise Of her beauty and
angelic qualities, and that he
could die holding her little white
hands in his.

are so many wrecks.
When a man woos a girl he
does everything on earth to jeop-

THERE is certain quality in
each of us, a quite normal
and natural human quality,
which makes us rejoice exceeding
ly when we are proved to be
right in any forecast Of events.
Perhaps this quality may be
called vanity, but it is an excusa-
BILE vanity, as indeed many phases
Of vanity are excusable.
The egotistieal and conceited
human being is insufferable; he
is a misfortune to himself, be-
cause he is so certain of his supe-
riority over his fellows that he
makes no least effort to improve.
But the being possessing van
ity is always on the alert to do
better and better; to keep UP with
the times, to be alert, to be proven
right. Therefore, if it be vanity
which prompts these words, let be.
Ten years ago, published the
following:
~ ONE months ago I received a
y letter from that good wom-
Emma slckles, in which she
said:
TT is to be hoped that the day
is not far distant when men see
1t is a far more serious thing to
bring life into human existence,
Of suffering or degradation, than
it is to end the earthly existence
Of that life, and that they are
quite as responsible to God and
to society for the lives they bring
into being as they are for the lives
they murder"
That day is not as near as Miss
Sickles hopes, yet such a day must
come.

and to go to the movies and have
an occasional glass Of ice cream
soda.
Many a woman secretly accuses
her husband of being a tightwad,
or of having ceased to love her,
because after marriage he does
not indulge her in the things that
he did before marriage, and that
his munificence then led her to
expect. She doesn't stop to reflect
that the money that used to go
into candy and flowers is now 60
ing into beefsteak and onions for
her daily sustenance.
There is no doubt, however, that
a very large per cent of domestic
misery is caused by men fostering
these false ideas in women before
marriage and leading them to ex-
pect a grandeur that they have no
way of attaining. This not I'M
naturally provokes bitter disap-
pointment and chagrin in the dis
appointed wives, and the result is
misery for both.
Mr.. Coffman, who makes pic
lures that cause people to think,

But your mothers life has not
been easy. Your father was a poor
man, and from the day she married
him she stood by his side fighting
the wolf from the door with her
naked hands, as a woman must fight.
She worked not the eight or ten
hour day of the union, but the twen-
ty.four hour day of the poor wife and
mother.
She cooked and cleaned and scrub
bed and patched and nursed from
dawn until bedtime, and in the night
was up and down getting drinks for
the thirsty lips, covering restless
little sleepees, listening for croupy
coughs.
She had time to say the things that
spurred your ambition on.
She never forgot to cook the little
dishes you liked.
She did without the dress she
needed that you might not be ashamed
Of your clothes before your fellows
Remember this now while there is
yet time, while she is living, to pay
back to her in love and tenderness

can never pay it all, but pay some
thing on account this very night

lars were sold for cash for the Wal
ton Trust Company in Chicago last
Thursday, sale and delivery being
made by j. B. Walton, vice.president
of the institution who handles the sale
of all securities for the bank and

Mr.. Walton came to this city from
Hobart, Oklahoma, to accept the
cashiership of the Missouri State
Bank in the spring Of 1908 and was
later made vice president Of both the
Bank and the Walton Trust Company.
Since that time the banks deposits
have increased nearly $50, 600, the
loans and discounts over $6l, 600 and
the surplus fund and profits of the
bank have jumped from $1,000 to
21,515.28. At that time the Walton
Trust Company's capital and surplus
amounted to $125, 600, but early in
1912 through Mr.. Walton's efforts,
the capital was increased to $3.50 600
and the surplus fund to $50, 600, raising
this house to one of the largest finan-
cial institutions in the southwest.
