THE MAN WHO Is TIRED
OF HIS WIFE.
Absence Makes the Heart Grow Ponder Says Old Proverb
and This Is Especially Apt in This Situation.
By DOROTHY DIX.

a MAN writes me in great dis
Il tress. He saws that he has been
"A married about fifteen years, and
that suddenly a great WEAKNESS OF
spirit has come upon him His wife
is good and kind, an excellent house
Keeper a thrifty manager. and her one
object in life is TO please him and make
him happy. but while he recognizes her
virtues and admires them, they leave
him cold and unmoyed.
In a word, he's tired Of his wife. She
bores him to death. Just her presence
is irksome to him, and when she goes
with him on any sort Of a pleasure
jaunt it takes all the fun out of the
occasion.
This man is no gay Lothario He Is
a good, honest. domestic man, who IS
honestly alarmed at the state OF al
fairs, and he wants to know what he
can do to recover the interest he once
had in his wife, and the thrills that
went through his veins like fire at the
touch of her hand
There is only one remedy for such
cases, and that is absence. Only peo-
pie who have neither nerves, tempera-
ment nor Imagination can stand the hor-
rible monotony Of seeing the same race
opposite them at three hundred and six
~ five breakfasts. and ditto dinners, 70
say nothing Of having the same form
across the drop light for an equal num-
Der of evenings a year. and having TO
listen to the same old stories.
Z The most beautiful people in the world
grow homey to our eyes If We see
/ them too often The wittiest converse
/ tionalists grow tedious If we have sur
/ felt Of their society The virtues OF
even an angel pall upon us If they are

Didn't Know the Name.

theory what made you interrupt me 2
snapped the Manicure Lady. Anyhow,
il was something about folks that
lived a long time ago living over
again. For instance, the old gent
said-don't mean father. ! mean the
other old gent-that he believed he
was a soldier i'm the time when they
was having the Wars Of the Roses
He said that he fought under the Red
Rose. whatever kind Of a lodge that
was. and ] guess he was that dippy
he believed IT, / could see that father
wanted to humor his old school chum
because he said he believed in the
same theory and thought the SOU
could live again in another body. II
was all could do to keep from snlek-
ering when father talked ike that
because goodness knows he spends a
lot more time thinking about pinochle
and three cushion billiards than he
does in thinking about the human
soul and what becomes of il after we
have kicked in But he stalled hhe,
and / guess the old school friend
went away thinking that father was
on the level about reincarceratlon.
I'D like to know what / Woule
be if I was born again" said George.

a femaei Oliver Twist, always asking
for more Don't you believe it. Won
en- are tickle creatures. and the best
wife in the world can get so sick and
weary Of model husband that she is
ready TO die Of sheer ennui
The Woman s Side.
Every now and then a woman gets SO
that she can see nothing but faults
in her husband. Everything he does
and everything he doesn't do irritates
her, and she. too, gets to wondering
what on earth the fool-killer was doing
on the day that she tied up with the
miserable little shrimp that she did,
instead Of marrying some romantic and
godlike creature that she didn't marry.
She thinks that She is suffering from
having missed her affinity ana being
married to a grounding that can't I'M
derstand her higher nature. but the
whole trouble is that she has had too
much of her husbands society. All
that she needs to effect a complete cure
is month or six weeks separation.
OF course, being ladies' and gentle
men, most Of us never admit to our hus-
bands and wives that we are bored
We yawn behind our hands and try 70
look interested, but In our secret souls
all of US know that the surging Joy with
which we saw our dearly beloved hus-
band or wife start of on a journey, or
the rapture that filed our own soul
when we got TO go off somewhere alone,
or with perfect strangers
And we also know the delight with
which we returned home, or welcomed
back the wanderer. our whole point Of
vision changed by a little absence, and
the one Of whom we had been so tired
clothed again In his or her halo.
This is why the summer vacation is
such a benefeent institution. We can
lay our WEAKNESS Of our domestic part
ners on the weather, and get away
with a decent excuse. But IL isn't the
change of climate that does us good
It's the change from the monotony Of
association, and It sends Us back rested
and refreshed and romantically in love
again.

GkT HERE was a queer old bug up
to our house last night, said
the Manicure Lady. 1T seems
that he and father used to go to
school together, and the old gent ran
into him by accident yesterday after
noon. He didn't know that his school
chum had changed so since boyhood,
and before he got wise to the change
he asked his friend up to the house.

..THE PuelIe BE Pleased"

THE PUBLIC be PLEASED.
There WAS time. as We are told.
when the head of a great corporation

OF recent years another corporation

The public cannot be pleased by sand

Sooner or later somebody will discover
these unfair and dishonest methods
and expose the merchant who resorts
to them.
The really shrewd business man is
the one who takes the public into his

A TIME FOR PROPER DEVELOP
MENT.

In Matching fowls it is wise to re
member that every kind must have
certain period for Development and
there is a season of the year that af-
fords natural food and climate to start
and bring them on to proper maturity.
Birds do not simply hatch in the
spring and summer because it is warm.
The wild turkey lays and nests in
February and March because wild tur-
key food is most plentiful in early
spring. and the pOults must have time
to grow.
Solomon says. There is a time FOR
everything under the sun"
This is why practical fanciers have
limit to matching They get their
chicks out early to catch the early
worm. and they cut out late Matching.
so far as breeding and laying stock
are concerned because the birds do
not have time to mature and the sea-
son is not so favorable We admire
the persisrency OF those who declare
the August hatched chick makes the
best layer. but we advise them to take
another think on il An August hatch
ed Plymouth Rock requires more time
TO mature than q spring hatched Rock
because it does not get the natural
growing food. the exercise in the
warm air of the latter. and it has to
go up against the cold snd frost.
II it pulls through the winter its lay
ing will be done in the cheap season.
when any old feather bed lays. Let
rs remember In everything that we
do those words Of Solomon. There is
a time for everything under the sun.
This applies just as much to Matching
fowls as il does to sowing seed.
