make everything over upon hfs model. IL
is the irresistible habit Of his mind that
enabled him to make his millions. He
stamps himself deeply upon everything.
That Is the reason so many wives OF rich
men are nonentities. Once they were indi-
viduals. They may have possessed some
originality. But every atom OF Il has been
crushed out Of them By their dominant
mates. When they have ceased to be
original they become tiresome. Then their
lords, who have made them uninteresting,
seek some other woman to interest them
for q while, and TO repeat with her the
process Of elimination and humiliation.
Seventeen years ago I was young, was
accounted beautiful, and was declared
talented. Victor Herbert believed suffi-
GENTLY in the existence Of that talent to
write q song for me. He wrote Love Di-
vine" TO 1T my voice, and I sang it when
I was prima donna with Frank Daniels, in
The Idols Eye" I was happy in my
work and was ambitious. It seemed the
world lay before me, yet chose a multi
millionaire!
It was in May, 1898. that I met Albert
Gallatin Wheeler, Jr. We fell in love, and
l was soon the possessOr Of an engagement
ring. Knowing that my mother would dis
approve Of it, wore it pinned inside my
waist while l was at home, but as soon
as got into a car to come downtown,
used to take It out and slip it on my fin
ger.
BeFt-Mr. Wheeler-used to call on me
in ny home in Harlem. Our counting was
done under difficulties. Ny little sister
stayed in the room. So did Mamma.
Mamma fell asleep sometimes and snored.
There was no use Of our trying to meet
at the theatre, for Mamma always went
with me to the theatre and came for me
after the performance.
last Albert said:
Claudia, your mother IS a born sleuth.
She ought to be on the police force. We
really must get married"
Opposition did not come from his
parents, but from mine. My mother
warned me: He will make you IN
happy"
But like most young girls felt much
older than my mother. Albert sent HIS

material, but they practically destroy
its wearing properties. In our grand
mothers days a silk dress would last
a lifetime; now it won't last six months.
Here are two simple ways Of testing
silk. Cut of a small piece and boil it
for a quarter Of an hour in a weak
solution of caustic potash, which you
can get at any drug store. If it is pure
silk it will be completely destroyed.
If not, what remains will be cotton.
Another way is to place a small
sample in strong hydrochloric or sui
phuric acid. Pure silk viii dissolve IN
from two to five minutes, but If It IS
adulterated with wool the latter will
remain unaffected.
Blankets, underclothes, and oLner
dress materials that are sold as pure
wool are often frauds. Cheap wooden
blankets contain, on an average, not
more than fifteen to twenty per cent Of
wool. The rest Of the material is cot
ton. The thick wooden effect Of these
CHEAP blankets is obtained by Telling
short woollen threads on the cotton
cloth by heat, moisture and pressure.
A simple test for wool is to place
a piece Of the material in oil Of vitriol
for one or two minutes. Then take it
out and wish it thoroughly, taking caro-
not to get the acid on your hands. OH
Of Yitriol will destroy all the cotton
adulteration, while the wool will hard
" be effected.
Cheap linen, like cheap wool, has any,
thing up to so per cent Of cotton in It.
The presence Of the cotton can easily be
detected by immersing a piece OF the
linen in oil Of VitriOl for a couple of
minutes, and taking it out and washing
it thoroughly. If it is pure linen, it
will not be affected, but if, as is more
likely, it is adulterated with cotton. it
will be completely spoiled.

Many a fatal case Of consumption

Every housewife should know few

The cOmmOnest fraud is in the case
Of silk. Many people test silk by its
weight. The heavier it is the better,
is the idea Of most women, when they
go to buy silk They will be surprised
to know that raw silk is often so adul-

Ideal" Jap Husband
Sues Wife for DiDorce

The Marriage of Denver woman to
a Japanese less than year ago in which
the bride spoke so enthusiastically, at
the time, of her husband and extolled
his many virtues over that OF the Amer
lean husband. has proved an utter fail
ure, according to the complaint for di-
vorce filed by the husband, Harry SAX
awi, in the District court Tuesday
against Mrs, Lillian Sakawi. So piqued
is the man from Japan at the failure of
the marriage and the publicity attend
ing divorce trials. according to the GUS
tom of his country. he suppressed the
case on filing.
Sakawi charges cruelty. He declares
his wife has shown contempt for him,
ignored him and virtually abandoned him
for her own race. He says that she has
actually made life intolerable and there
is nothidng in common for the two in
marriage.
AT the time of the marriage Mrs. SAX
awi explained the advantages she then
thought were possessed in having Jap
anese husband. She said Harry"
brought home all the money he earned
and gave it to her. humored her every
whim, was not inclined to be Jealous and
in every way was an ideal husband.

Printers Home Notes
(By Sam Bon.)

Christmas comes but once a year,
And when it comes it brings good cheer.
To the residents of the Home, the
many that have already during the past
week or more been so kindly remembered
by their respective unions tsome OF the
recipients receiving So donations), the
Christmas season of good cheer and hap
piness has been noticeable. Many are
anxiously awaiting, before the joyous
day comes, the arrival of Santa Claus
with his thoughtful tokens from near
and far.

Home from San Francisco Union No. 81,
will enjoy his happy Christmas holidays

now by the government of the Chey-
enne river reservation, opposite For

lands are grazing. and others are fine
farming lands. The grazing to be
sold at from "a to $3.50 per acre and
the farming land from sc to SIS. The
reason for the sale of the lands here
is a surplus of them. and the govern
ment prefers to sell some of them
and use the funds to buy live stock
and farm machinery to encourage
farming operations among the In
dams on the reservation. IL is also
expected hat the settlement OF a por-
ton of the lands by white people,
with good methods of stock raising
and farming, will prove an example
to the Indians, who respond quickly
to encouragement of that kind.
