Gone but not forgotten.

Receipt for Making Good Husbands
One of our ladie subscribers who
says she enjoys this department OF
our paper, hands us the following re
ceipt for making good husbands
which she has tested and 1t worked
like a charm.
First. Be good wife; in so do
ing you will have good influence
. over hubby.
Second. Treat him to kind words
kisses and good dinners. Prepare
the dishes he likes best, if your
means will allow.
Third. Keep his room in order no
matter how often he scatters things
around; put hat and boots where he
will always know where to find thei
Fourth. Never scold; no matter
low We the wood or how much the
stove smokes; tell him you like 1t
that way; smile and go on.
Fifth. Make him believe he is all
the world to you, as indeed he
should be. Laugh at his jokes, no
matter how stale.
And last but not least, keep all hi
buttons sewed on and all in their
proper place, and all his socks we'll
darned. Then, If you don't have a
good husband we will say that you
must have remarkably poor material
to work on.
Social grace requires the wife to
dress neatly, If simply, to make
home pleasant. and, as far as COM
patible with her duties, to be ready
to be the companion of her husband
when he is ready to sit down at homo
She will cheerfully recognize his

A Word Of Advice for Young People
We are sure the following beau
tiful lines from Louise M. Alcott
viii be appreciated by the readers
of this column. They were written
especially for the younger members
of the household, and when such
noble character as hers speaks, it
is of great profit to listen and heed:
Dear young men and maids, let
one, who in the capacity of teacher,
nurse, friend, or author has been
much behind the scenes for forty
years assure you that the secret of
success lies with ourselves as men
and women now and in Gods good
time, as the fathers and mothers
in the coming generations. Boys,
for such I love to call you, and such
most of you are till five and twenty,
set up high standard and never
tire of trying to reach it. Don't
begin your day with a cigar and
end 1t in theater. billiard room or
club. Keep innocency, for in the
end it shall profit thy soul much
and open the way of heaven for
thee. Never believe the pernicious
saying that young men must SOW
wild oats
Girls, don't be in a haste to
wed. Build up healthy bodies by
good food. plenty of exercise and
sleep. Learn all the household arts
before you attempt to make a home.
Above all. select your friends with
care. Avoid girls who live only for
filtration and enjoyment,
and use the privilege all women may
claim. to decline the acquaintance
Of young men. whose eyes will not

GRADUATED SCALE
GAS CONSUME ton
ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD WOULD
REDUCE RATES TO LARGE
CONSUMERS.

In Saturdays conference betweNn
the members of the administrative
board and the superintendent OF the
gas department and the electric light.
plant, many matters of interest were
discussed.
1t was suggested by Mr.. Beck that
a graduated scale OF rates be formu-
lated by Superintendent Knowles with
the lowest not lower than the actual
cost of producing the gas
MY idea OF such a rate" explained
Mr.. Beck, SIS to give the large com
sumers a reduction. There are many
concerns in the city which use large
quantities of gas for manufacturing
purposes. The newspaper plants use
much gas in the operation OF their
typesetting machines and there are q
hundred and one ways in which gas
Is being used in large quantities BY
giving large consumers a reduced rata
the city will get it back in the long
run, because when anything becomes
cheaper or within easier reach, there
Is greater demand and much more il
consumed"
The suggestion was received favor
ably by all hands, and 1t is probable
that when the administrative board
confers with the finance committee ON
Thursday night, this question will be
fully discussed.
The board is also anxious to have
lights more generally distributed in
alleys and on dark streets
I'VE cannot have too much light

desirable. No additional witnesses

counsel for Perry, who claims that the
sheriff has neglected his duty In not
evlcting Mrs. Hughes. Mrs Hughes
claims she Secured the house from
Mrs. Fletcher prior 10 the sale to

ing bond shall have been given by
Perry.
