THE CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE

if you would keep harmony in the
home and peace of mind" said Mrs.
Selwin to me the other day.
Are any of them worth all that
trouble?" l asked cynicaIIy.
Certainly, my dear Margie. Man
with all his faults is the only thing
which makes life worth living for a
woman, just the same as woman
with all her follies is the one thing
which makes the old earth livable to
man.
''The whole trouble, Margie, my
dear, in this marriage game is that
so many of us don't play it straight.
We not only cheat our partners, but
we try to cheat ourselves"
Dear Mrs. Selwin! If 1 could only
wrap up her philosophy with Aunt
Mary's sympathy and charity for all
men, in my brain and heart, I'd not
only be model wife, but Dick would
be the happiest man on earth.
wonder if Eleanor Fairlow ever
found fault with Dick?
She is coming to tea next week
and am going to try and get her to
say something on the subject.
There, little book, have told you

earth. But this morning just have

Dick has acted rather grouchy
ever since we had our talk about him
drinking too much, but am not sure
whether it is because he is worried
over Jack, who is also sulking be-
cause he has had to pay for skylark
ing with his position as partner in
dads store and begin working at sew
enty-fve month as a clerk where he
hoped to be one of the proprietors.
l have noticed another thing, and
that is that Dick still kisses me good
by in the morning, but he seldom
kisses me when he comes home at
night.
It's pretty hard when the wife of
a little over a year must believe that
her husband would rather give up her
kisses than his before dinner cocktail.
Shall keep worrying and scolding
him about it or is it the best thing to
just try and keep my own peace of
mind?

kEENE NOT Guilty

Albuquerque, N. M, Nov. %. The
jury In the Keene case returned a
verdict at II O'clock Saturday night In
the United States district court, ac-
quitting the defendant, Richard Frank
Keene, a wealthy ranch owner Of
Grant county. The jury was out only
a short time.
Keene went on the stand himself
and denied the story related by Dora
jenkins, his cousin, as far as the com
mission of any crime against her by
him was concerned. He was accused
of paying the girls railway fare from
Washington, D. G., to silver city for
immoral purposes.
The defense was begun Saturday
morning and completed shortly before
6 o'clock that night Judge William
H. Pope announced that night ses-
sion would be held. At that time the
attorneys made their arguments and

LITTLE UNEMPLOYMENT

London, Nov. 90 Official reports of
the government say that unemploy-
ment among raen is nov about one
per cent less than it was at the open
ing Of the war These figures are
somewhat surprising in view of the
fact that nearly one million men have
volunteered their services and are un-
der training in the army.
Men who have not entered the ar

work. notwithstanding the fact that
thousands of places vacated by men
have been filled by women. The gov

JAPs ARE PLEASED

Toxic, Nov. 23.-The occupation of
the South Sea islands has greatly
pleased the Japanese. One historian
claims that Ualan or Kusaie island in
the East Carolines was inhabited by
the Japanese in ancient days. In the
heart Of the island forest, he says,
may be seen the ruins Of an old cas-
tie resembling closely those seen in
the more ancient parts of Japan. The
remnants Of the system Of fortified
tions shows it to be an exact copy
of the type constructed in the early
Tokugawa period. 1t was at this
epoch that many japanese warriors
and publicists went to the South Seas
having been expelled from the empire
on account of their adoption of Chris
tianity.

washington. Nov. 23.-The Ameri-

his laurels because of the great part
gasoline motors have played in trans
portation problems of European armies
in the present war. Until American
roads generally are brought up to the
nigh standard of the roads of Ger
MANY. France, Belgium and other Eu-
ropean countries, the army mule will
determine through his capacity for
hauling, the limitation of operations
FOR American military forces.
Only one branch OF the United
States army is giving serious atten-
tions to motor traction. In the quar-
termaster's department experiments
are being made, particularly along the
Texas border, with handling supplies
in motor trucks. Motor trucks are in
general use, Of course, about army
posts and wherever good roads are
available; but when maneuVers take
the columns into the field and the
sandy or muddy country roads, where
mere wheel tracks across the country
are the only highways, the six mule
team is still master of the transpor-
tation situation.
A few years ago it was determined
TO experiment with motor Transports
ton as means to increase the radius
Of field artillery. The most available
subject for this purpose was the bat
terry wagon, carrying the forges fol

It may be asked in all seriousness
how much longer the superstition will
live which ascribes TO the moon an
influence over timber7 This unset

held a place in the backwoods, where
people were prone to accept the teach

Chrfstiana, Nov. 26-Aroused by
the published imputation that Norway
is engaged in smuggling petroleum
into Germany, the government census
bureau has prepared figures showing
that the imports of this commodity
during August and September Of this
year fell far below corresponding
months in other years. According to
this statement the imports of petrol
cum during August and September
were 6,172 tons, against 25,6OO for the
same months in 1918, 1890 tons in
1912, 2O,5OO tons in 1911 and 1900
tons in 1910. The marked falling off
in imports during August and Sep
