What of the strong mans stubborn pas
sion,
When Love comes singing sweet and
low
What of the long established fashion
When Love comes pleading: Let 1t
go?"
From habits that enslaved before
He turns as one newborn, to sigh.
He dreams Of wildwood haunts no more.
His gun and rod uneherished lie.
The thunders Of applause that shook
The halls OF state for him are all
Forgotten when she turns 10 look
And when he hears her softly call:
The wisdom that he had he lays
Aside, forgetting TO be wise,
He Graves no honor but her praise,
His universe is in her eyes,
What Of the strong mans solid reason
When Love comes signing: Stray with
me?"
TO noble heights or down to treason
He follows on submissively.
From that which armies might have
tried
In vain to move him he recedes,
And at a pensiye woman's side
The strong man signs and humbly
pleads.
The dreams that young love dreams are
fair.
The signs that young love signs are
sweet.
Glad angels hover, watching, where
The lips OF coy young lovers meet
The skies above young love are blue.
The laughter of young love Is gay
To young love all the world is new
And all its troubles far away.
But send to ME the swceter, later
Love, blossoming where sorrows lie.
The deeper love the broader, greater
That comes to flower but not to die.
For him, when youths Wild dreams are
spent
And Time has withered many hope
Gods gifts are best If Love is sent
To lead him down the western slope.

HUBBY'S HOME RIGHTS
AVERAGE HUSBAND SEEMS TO
HAVE FEW PRIVILEGES.
Writer In Woran's Magazine Goes In
to the Question Somewhat Deep
iy and the Result ls In
Measure Surprising.

What right does your husband pos
sess in his home? Be honest! Has it
ever occurred to you that he has any
special rights?
/ think / know what viii be your
first reply-your snap Judgment a
writer in the Mothers Magazine says.
You win tell me that your husband is
like most men and doesn't feel he has
many rights, but that IL there ever
| was a man who was master in his
ewn house, he is the one. You will
back up your statement by illustra-
lions. You don't like pork and beans
for supper Saturday night, but John
does, and so you always have them.
You would prefer polished floor and
rugs in the front hall. but John IN
nsted on carpet: and you like
lamp In the library-a soft light is so
becon1ingl-but you have to use an
expensive burner, for John will have
a bright light to read by!
Well, that Is a fair beginning. Is
there anything else? While we are
on material details, let me ask you a
few more. / will be most complete.
Has John bureau or a chest or draw
ers Of his own? If he shares one
dresser with you, how many drawers
has he and how many have you? Has
he clothes press or closet into which
you never intrude? II there Is one
closet between you, what proportion
falls to his lot and what to yours? OF
course, your gowns take up more room
than his coat and trousers, but does
he own absolutely the section allotted
to him, or have your best frocks a
trick of straying over to his pegs and
draping his Sunday suit? And IL he
ventures TO protest, don't you consid-
er him very unreasonable?
Let US go a little further. You have
said that the hall carpet and the II
brary lights are concessions to Johns
preference. Are there other like in
stances In the establishment? Does
the paper in the parlor and the dining
room and the pictures on the walls
represent his preference, or the heavy
draperies that exclude the light from
his Sunday paper, or the delicate little
reception chairs that are your pride?
II so, he Is an exception to the ma
1ority of men.
II wish we could ever have beef
steak and onions at homei" a man
sighed TO me a short time ago. TT
may be vulgar, but it's my favorite
dish. and when | want 1t have to
so to a restaurant. My wife tells
me that onions make the house smell
| dreadfully!"
So they do. but IL that husband had
his rights, don't you think that once
in while, on stormy night when
there was no danger of company. a
dish Of beefsteak and onions might
rejoice his palate?
You may tell me all these are trifles
and | admit 1t, but the trifles are items
which make or mar the comfort Of a
home Pass them over and let US
look at some of the less material but
equally important rights of the hus-
band and see II he is any better OFF
there.

CALL FOR LEGIBLE SIGNATURE
Business Concerns and Hotels, ~ Well
as Legal Firms, Find Themselves
Compelled &c Insist 81 That

Kindly favor us with legible sig
nature" is an appeal now often en-
countered. 1t appears on the letter
heads Of many a legal firm and is
conspicuously printed on contracts
and other important documents. In
hotels this request is sometimes used
as heading on each page OF the reg
lister or printed on card. II hangs
in plain view Of the counter.
A room clerk in one Of the big
hotels declares that the task OF de-
ciphering signatures has reached a
crisis.
'It has got to the point where we
couldn't bluff on names any longer"
he said. In these days OF constant
telephoning and telegraphing we've
simply got to be sure that every
guests name is correctly entered on
our books or there's bound to be
trouble.
"Of course q successful hotel clerk
must have gift for deciphering bad
signatures Just as he must have a
good memory for names and faces,
but when a man we've never seen be-
fore comes IN and scrawls long
wavy line on the register without a
single letter plain enough TO even
guess at, how are we going to call
him by name the next minute? He
may have important mail waiting for
him or he may be telephoned for any
minute, so our request for legible
signature arises out OF a necessity"
A member of law firm on whose
letterheads is printed "A legible sig
nature is requested" says that these
few words have saved his firm much
trouble Papers no longer have to be
returned for resigning, as was for
merly the case, because the first sig
nature could not be read. Before this
:equest for legible signature was
made important legal documents often
had to be entirely rewritten because
enc OF the parties refused to accept
he signature of some of the others
on account of their ELIGIBILITY.
A large employer of labor has made
II rule recently to have all applica-
tions for work brought to him. He
orders each letter folded so that the
signature alono shall show. He goes
ever these, picks out the signatures
that appeal to him and gives these
applicants precedence over the others,

Too Far Away.

Senator Thomas Sterling of South
Dakota remarked a few evenings ago
that it is a mistake to imagine that
every person on earth has seen a
Tacvirg-picture show, and cited a case
TO prove his contention.
One day, according to the nara
tive of the senator. farmer who
didn't often get to town broke into
the metropolis to lay in supplies and
look over the city scenery.
Along the main street he stacked
up against moving picture show. and
lured by the intensely dramatic show
bills he fished a nickel from his crop
proceeds and bought ticket. The
only available seat was one In the
rear. Apparently 1t didn't meet with
his approval.
Say. mister" he remarked, going
back to the box office, 'hain't there
no way you kin Ak me up with a seat
on Their front row."
Eyes, ! guess So" good-naturedly
replied the ticket seller. but you can
see just as well from the rear"

A restaurant is a place where you
ray four dollars for fifteen cents
worth of food, accompanied by about
two dollars worth Of light labor, light
china and light music, which you have
heard before, After leaving your hat
with Wall street syndicate, you pay
all the way from ten cents to quar-
ter for the privilege Of getting 1t back
and wearing 1t once more. The diff
ference between a man and woman
indeed today is quite simple A wom-
an pays fifty dollars all at once for
her hat, while man pays five dollars
for his and fifty-flve more in tip in
stallments for storage at restaurants
while he is vainly trying to obtain
enough nourishment to sustain life
between times.
The object of all restaurants is to
furnish you with everything you want
except nourishment. This is carefully
extracted from all food before it
reaches you
Every restaurant nowadays has at
tached to It a homeless hotel and a
drugless drug store, also newspaper
stand, where you can buy paper for
not over twice what you can get 1t
for almost any night you don't want
them at the same rates. Every res
taurant also has wine cellar. which
is filed with native cobwebs, Euro
pean labels and California grape juice.

Brief But Neat,

During the journey of a royal train
from Balmoral to Windsor the ordi-
nary passenger traffic was very much
disorganized, and express trains were
suddenly drawn up to the no small
annoyance Of commercial men and
others, who could truly say that with
them time was money" An express
train between Perth and Aberdeen was
great sufferer In this respect, and a
certain commercial traveller was quite
boisterous In his denunciation of the
frequent stops. At last when he had
tired his fellow-passenger with his
grumbling, he Topped down the win.
dow and shouted: Guard! I say,
guard"
Eyes, sir" answered the official ad-
dressed, approaching the compartment.
"Oh, guard. this is simply disgust
ing! Why all these stops? What's
up man, what's up?" said the COM
mercial traveller, in bantering tones.
The guards reply was brief. neat
and certainly to the point for he sim.

PEACE PROPOSAL
OF STATE BOARD
Veto Compromise Plan Beeaus'
Mine Owners Refuse to Rec
ognize Union.
STRIKE DOUBTLESS WILL BE
LONG DRAWN OUT AFFAIR

Flat River, Mo-. Aug. 24.-With
the vote OF the Flat River local
miners union this afternoon,
enough votes were recorded against
the settlement of the lead strike
on terms proposed by the state
bard of mediation and arbitration
as to make certain the rejection of
the plan.
The votes of the Flat River local
Of the Western Federation OF
Miners was taken at a meeting of
che miners this afternoon. The
vote against the acceptance of the
peace terms was unanimous. Union
and non-union men predicted after
the vote that the board of mediation
will accomplish nothing towards
the settlement of the strike at the
n setting next Monday and that the
trouble between mine owners and
no union men will be of long dura-
on
The compromise plan provides for
n increase of 20 cents day and no
'iscrimination against non-union
zen. The men are holding out for
ecognition of the union.

RICH, BUT WANDERERS
IRISH clANsMEN WHO LIVE THE
LIVES OF GiPsIEs.
Own Much Real Estate, Though They
Have No Settled Abodes-horse
Trading One Of Their Prin-
clpaI Occupations.

Since they came to this country
from County Roscommon, Ireland,
twenty years ago, the clan of Carroll.
Riley & Co. has prospered wonder
fully in a nomadic way, trading horses
like gipsies, until now the clansmen
own much southern real estate.
The CAROLS. the Rileys, the Shu-
locks and Germans, all from Roscom-
mon, are split up into several camps
and travel about luxuriously. Luxu-
rious seems a strange word to apply
TO the mode of life OF this or any other
wandering clan, but luxurious 1t is in
deed, for 1t must be realized that
whole squares in many OF the largest
and most thriving cities OF the south
are owned by this clan and held va
cant throughout the year that they
may spend possibly few weeks each
year camping there. Close down In
the very center of Atlanta, Ga, they
own whole city block; all about It
are towering office buildings, factories
and few residences, but the Irish
clansmen refuse to sell or build per-
manent structures of any sort upon
this property. II Is well piped with
city water and sewers, however, and
when the tents are pitched there for
a summer stop beneath every spread
of canvas is hydrant and sink, for
these Irish are health-loving, sensible
people and know and observe the laws
OF hygiene and sanitation great deal
more closely than do the majority oil
people who live more sheltered lives
indoors
In other scities Of the south, too.
they hold much property, In Chat
tanooga in Nashville, In Rome, Ga,
and Gainesville, Ga, in several
smaller towns in Georgia and other
states through which they wander. In
all their real estate holdings are worth
thousands of dollars, their lot In At
lanta alone being worth upwards OF
100000.
Thrifty horse traders they are. too,
and since the members of the strange
organization came to America from
ireland, twenty years ago. and formed
the association they have vastly in
creased their wealth by shrewd deal
ings, while the property they bought
in Atlanta and Nashville and Chatta-
nooga and other towns when they
formed the association has grown
enormously In value and multiplied
: their wealth. though they were in
dcpendcntly well to do when they FIRST
came to America. Every mothers
son of them as much as thirty years
old or tbereabouts was born in County
Roscommon, Ireland.
