tract1v6 he was in Other ways
Is HE SYMPATHETIC.
For I should know that he had no
pity or sympathy for the weakness
and the he1pIessness OF humanity, and
that when the day came when / was
no longer young nor strong nor vi
vacious and able to entertain and
amuse him, he would forsake me for
somebody able to minister to his
pleasure.
The third quality that I should look
for in a husband is liberality.
should watch to see how he spent
his money. If he haggled over the
price of everything, If he shooed away
every beggar, and gave the waiter the
least possible tip, should know that
he would make the kind of a husband
who doles out carfare to his wife, goes
over the grocery book, and snoops
around the kitchen to see the thick
ness of the potato parings. And l
: wouldn't marry him if he was the
last call to the dining car I was ever
likely to get. No women on earth
work as hard for their living as those
who have TO chisel it out of a tight
wad husband.
ENERGETIC AND CAPABLE
The fourth thing that would take
into consideation in a man is his
ability to get along in the world
He wouldn't need to be rich I would
rather marry a man and take my
chances for future comfort with him
If he was getting $4,000 a year that
he made by his own effort than one
who had an income of s25.O a year
that he had inherited from papa, and
who had never made a dollar of his
own. The best luck that can ever
ergetic. capable young fellow and help
him make his fortune. but the worst
fate that ever befalls girl is to be
tied to shiftless ne'er do well, who
fails at everything he tries to do.
Therefore, before / married a man
I'd make it my business to 1nd out
whether he had strength enough to
stand on his own feet. or whether
he would be one of those clinging
vine men that somebody else has to
support all of his days. I'd know, for
one thing, that l should be hungry
and need clothes after marriage just
as much as l did before, and also that
l shouldn't have much respect for
husband who wasn't man enough TO
hold his place among other men.
MUST BE SUFFRAGIsT
Then I should positively refuse to
marry any man who wasn't a suf-
fragist. and who didn't believe that
women had O. right to have a half
of the pleasures and perquisites of the
world. I should know that the man
who thought that women in general
were only fit to be classed with GRIM
inals, idiots and the insane would
make the sort of a husband who de-
rides his wife's opinions, refuses to
give her an allowance, and who re-
CARDS her as an upper servant to
minister TO his lordly self
That's what I'd do, girls. I'd look
out for a man who was good natured
and good tempered and generous and
sympathetic, and who thought that a
woman, even wife, was a human
being with a right to her own opin-
ions and pocketbook, and when I'd
found that sort of a man marry him,
if he asked me, no matter what other
faults he might have. For I'd know
he'd made the kind of a husband that
is Iovable and easy to live with. And
that's the thing that counts in matri-
mony.

Bv DOROTHY DIX
Are NECESSARY

HAVE received letter signed by
1s girls who request my advice in
the selection of husband, and
ask what qualities they should look
for in picking out their life partners.
Of course, The conventional way to
answer this question is to say to
girl: MY dear. marry man
who is honest and honorable, who
neither drinks nor smokes nor swears
nor plays poker and who belongs TO
the Y. NJ. c. A. and goes to church
every sunday. and you Will be happy
ever after"
Unfortunately, this isn't true. Some
Of the best men on earth are the
meanest husbands. Many man who
never says anything stronger than
-oh. fudge" can crouch for six weeks
at a stretch. Many a man who has
moral principles that are as impreg
nable as the rock of Gibraltar is as
hard and cold also as the said rock
Many a man who is as honest as the
dav is as close as a steeltrap, and
has to be chloroformed before he
can be pried loose from quarter
Many philanthropist is so busy pro-
noting the welfare of the world he
has no time to devote to making his
own home happy.
DON'T STOP THERE
am not disparaging the big vir-
tues. Far from it. Every girl in Sc
lecting husband. should see that
the man she marries is moral and
upright, but she shouldn't stop there.
she should see that he has some Of
the amenities of life as well as its
virtues, that he's got a few graces
as we'll as a backbone.
Now, If were picking out hus-
band. after satisfying myself that
the man was neither a drunkard nor
a thief, nor leading the double life.
the very first thing that I would
take into consideration would be his
temper. / would see whether he was
good natured and could meet the
ordinary little misadventures of ex-
istence with philosophy, or whether
.he went of into silent grouches
whenever anything crossed his SOW
sereign wiz, or else flew into fury
about it.
I should know that in the ordinary
run of married life there would be
plenty Of times when things went
wrong; when would make mistakes
and do foolish things, when the soup
would be too salty, and the roast
burned, when a million things would
happen to vex him, and 1 shouldn' I
want a husband who su1ked around
the house. or said things to me in
anger that cut like the lash Of a whip
every time there was a hitch IN the
domestic machinery.
Nor should I want to spend my life.
as many wives do, going in mortal
.error of doing or saying something
that would rouse the slumbering devil
in their husbands Believe me, tenn
per has wrecked more homes than the
Demon Rum ever has, and between a
man with temper hung on hair
trigger and one who goes off on an
occasional jag the choice is with the
3aggist.

WOULD IMPROVE
CHANNEL OF ROUGE
Delray Merchants Will Appeal
To L. S. Congress for
Action

A number OF years ago, the Great
Lakes waterways committee OF con.
gress. Of which Congressman Burton
was then chairman, visited this sec
ton for the purpose OF considering the
ACCESSIBILITY OF improving the naviga-
ton possibilities of the Rouge river
by deepening the channel TO q point
about two miles north OF Fort-st. AT
that time, the committee, while ad-
hitting the need of the improvement,
stated that they could not see their
way clear 10 grant 1t, but since the
Rouge has become the southwestern
boundary line OF part OF the city Oh
Detroit 1t has been deepened as far
as the point where IL is crossed by
West Jefferson-ave. The dredging Of
the stream 10 the point originally ask
ed for is absolutely necessary for the
development OF the most natural fac
tory sites TO be found in or around
Detroit and the Delray Business Mems
association will probably take this
matter up In the near future aud en-
deavor TO get favorable action at the
next session OF congress.

PRINCE kATSURA.

Born in 1S47 he was educated in the
Prussian military schools and came
TO the Japanese army as a reorgan-
tier and upbuilder in the days when
Japan Was just getting tired OF the
kimona and was being measured for
its frst frock coat and silk hat. He
was viceminister OF the army from
1886 TO 1891. during which time he
laid the foundations for the present
efficient organization
During the war with China he com
manded a division and vas the first
Japanese governor OF Formosa the
big island that was the fruit OF that
war. He was war miEister from 1898
10 1900, when he put the finishing
touches on the great military ma
chine he started, and then from 1901
TO 1906 he was premier and ran things
during the war with Russia. He was
called again to the premiership in
1908 and retired only short time
ago.
In the present state OF popular dis
content with the United States and
general disapproval OF the present
minstry's conduct OF affairs eyes are
turned toward Katsura as the man
who holds the key to the situation.
