WASHINGTON, March -. That
President Wilson realizes this enor-
nous cost in life and money which
armed intervention in Mexico wouli
mean was made very plain today The
chief executive emphatically explained
to callers that he considered the
United States too big to have it's hand
forced for any selfish reason. The
president declared in tones whose
fnality left nothing to the imagina-
ton that the present policy Of the
United States will be continued no
matter what pressure from within or
without was brought to bear to force
his hand
The president insisted to his callers
that most of the people who are in
haste to have things done in Mexico
fail to realize that they will have to
contribute brothers, sons. or sweet
hearts to secure immediate action,
while If they wait, the same result

Washington, February 23.-The new
federal reserve system will begin busi-

banks. This was apparent tonight
when. at the close of the last day on
which national banks could signify
their intention of accepting the terms
of the currency law, less than so OF
the 7493 national banks of the country
had failed to respond favorably More
than enough state institutions had ap-
piled for membership TO bring the total
to 1900.
Official count of the banks and tab
ulatfon of their resources and liabil
tiles will begin tomorrow at the treas

Most of the institutions that have
not come into the new system are com :
paratively small and it is estimated
that 81 per cent of all the capital and
resources in the present national bank
system is represented by those whose

GREAT LOVE TRAGEDIES
DON'T MARRY DIscoRD WITH NOBLE WIFE

Don't marry diseord with noble
wife, is the way Pope wrote in his
"Epistle to Arbuthnot. by way of con-
graduating himself, with an evident
glance at Addison. Poor Addison; SOME
of the biographers have tried to picture
him as most woefully henpecked hus-
band, one of them even gong so far
as to say that Mrs. Addison would not
allow her husband to go out to the inn
at all unless he sat by the window
where he was in plain view of her front
room, and that every absence from his
post had to be accounted for.
1t is quite likely that Addison married
Charlotte, the Countess of warwick, for
the advantage her position would gain
him, and in a measure he succeeded, even
If he was compelled to forego a certain
amount of domestic happiness on account
of having domineering wife But he
did not enter into the marriage bond
blindly, for when he wed the countess
on August 3. 1716. he was a. years of
age, and had known her for many years;
in fact, she was an old family friend
johnson says that the marriage resem-
bled that in which a Sultan gives
daughter to a man to be her save; ana
there Is a report that Addison used tc
escape from his uncomfortable splendor
at Holland House to a coffee house at
Kensingtor.
Before their marriage Addison had been
a devoted lover; and it must have been
some fault of his wife's that he
his views regarding her. For
a long time his attentions were received
indifferently. Perhaps indeed the cpl
sode of Sir Roger de Coveriy.s love pas
sages with the cruel widow may be
founded on personal experience.
In I'LL Addison reported to a friend
that the loss of his place had involved
that of his mistress. Possibly the same
hard-hearted mistress condescended to
relent when she saw her former lover
once more on the road 10 high state
preferment, for the death or Queen Anne

ment is that found in a letter from
Lady Mary Wortley Montague, written
from Constantinople In 171T, in which
she says:
II received the news of Mr.. Addison 5
being declared secretary OF state with
the less surprise In that l knew the
post was offered to him be-ore At that
time he declined it: and I really believe
he would have done we'll 70 decline II
now. Such a post as that and such a
wife as the countess do not seem 10
be, in prudence, eligible for a man that
is asthmatic. and we may see the day
when he will be glad To resign them
both"
Lady Mary however, does not hint
that Addison was then living unhapptly
with his wife Her expressions seem to
be inspired rather by her own snarp wit
and a personal dislike of the countess
than by any knowledge of discord in the
household.
If Addison really had sucn rough
time of 1t with the countess as some
writer's would have it appear he must
have taken the situation good-natured-
ly for on March 30 IT'S. he writes 70
Swift: Whenever you are In England

where you are highly esteemed by Lady
Warwick and the young lord.
A henpecked husband WOulu ndruls
have invited the Dean of st. Patrick 5
to be the witness of his domestic dis
comfort. unless he was able to control
his lady sufficiently well that she would
behave herself in company.
Then again. Addison's will, dated only
a month before his death. indicated that
he regarded his wife with feelings other
than those of affection ana respect: ct
do make and ordain my said dear wife
eXecutrix of this my last well; and I
do appoint her TO be guardfon of my
dear child, Charlotte Addison. until she
shall attain her age of one-and-twenty
being well assured that sne will take
due care of her education, and provide
for her in case she live to be married
If his domestic life was unpleasant
it was not to last long, for Addison
died on June II, 1719. less than three
years after he married the countess
There was report at the time that
his life was shortened by over-drinkinG
but as usual the scandal when traced
to its source, seems to have originated
