YACHTS FIGHT STORM
CHICAGO BANKER TOWED INTO
LITTLE STURGEON BY "OMOO."
Sheboygan Man Comes to Rescue in
Time to Save Smaller Boat
When Engine Fails.

Sheboygan.-The story of a
thrilling experience in storm at
Green bay, during a pleasure cruise,
and the rescue of ]. Thompson, a
Rockford, H., banker and his wife
from another yacht, was brought
here by Ivar Lohmann and party.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lohmann, Mr.. and
Mrs. George M. Kempf and Mrs.
Charles Rose left Sheboygan on Aug.
8 for a two weeks cruise in Lake
Michigan and Green bay on the
cruiser Omoo, a pleasure yacht.
"The water was as smooth as on a
river and we were making good time
when northwest wind struck us"
said Mr.. Kempf We were in the
worst storm l ever saw. We were
abreast of Oconto, but the wind was
so strong and the waves so high we
had no chance to make that port.
headed with the wind, but we were
tossed about like cork.
'The clouds were getting blacker
all the time and it was becoming
dark, when we sighted another yacht

headed for them and succeeded in
throwing them tow.
'She was the Nepahwin, owned by
]. Thompson, who with his wife and
engineer, was aboard. The engine
had broken down When four miles
out of Little Sturgeon bay, we were
met by the tug, Little Bob, which put
about and assisted us in towing the
Nepahwin into Little Sturgeon.

ing kind-that he never came when he
said he would.
These girls who have been disap-
pointed by the men who have led them
to believe that when they have made
an appointment it was sure to be
kept, have not the idlest conception
of what the average girls really think
Of them for their lack of considera-
ton. Did this particular fact ever oe-
cur to us that over half of the young
women who have found their beau
ideals as they really supposed, will
having broken their engagements re-
peatedly? Scarcely ever will they come
out openly and lay the blame for their
hours of waiting alone in the parlor
until their going upstairs in detection
to just where it belongs. Other
young women and girls might>consider
the mittened lone" not capable of at
tracing a beau ideal when one paid
court for awhile. 1t takes a young
woman's stanchest courage to face
her girl friends as we'll as gentlemen
callers and admit that the beau who
had won her fancy from all others
had suddenly turned a cold shoulder
to her for some fairer, perhaps young
er or more attractive maiden, whose
charms he valued more than hers.
When that first little cloud of mis-
trust crosses the horizon of the young
woman who is entertaining a bright,
pleasing beau, that he is adroitly try
ing to change his evenings of visit
ing, making them two or three weeks
apart, before she becomes more at
tached to him, she should try to as
certain if he has other engagements.
1t isn't fair to her if he does her the
injustice of concealing the fact that
he is a Beau Brummel, rowing from
bud to flower, as his tickle fancy leads.
A young woman is usually afraid to
make an enemy of a one-time beau, If
she discourages his calling on her
after his disappointments evenings for
The reason that he knows too many
of her little confidential dislikes of
some of her girl friends who might
welcome him to their homes, finding an
opportunity to get even.
Really, no one can advise the steps
which the girl will take toward the
beau who is not to be depended on.
She must judge for herself as to her,
pitiful waste of time, let alone affec-
tionate women whether it will be a
case of her being left beauless when
one is most needed. Half the women
have been led astray by wrong advice
as to Cupid. They should have a
heart-to-heart talk together, as to mat
ing engagements, keeping or breaking
them as their own sweet will prompt
ed them

KILLS SELF IN PADDED CELL
Insane Prisoner Commits Suicide by
Setting Fire to Blanket-Suffo-
Gates to Death.

Fond du Lac.-John Spellecy, 43
years old, committed suicide in the
padded cell of the county Jail by set
ting fire to a blanket, death result
ing from suffocation.
Spellecy had been found insane
and was left in the custody of rela-

the northern hospital. He was taken
into custody bat partially clothed and
in a violent condition.
Using a match which escaped
close search by the Jail officials, he
made a smudge from blanket.
Neither officials nor inmates of the
institution heard any noise from the
cell, and the tightly fastened door
prevented the fumes from escaping.

ItaIu an Ancient Nation

Italy may fairly claim t be senior
among the nations of Europe so far
IS its name is concerned. The PENN
sula has been Italia" almost as far
back as even legend reaches. Accord
ing to Mommsen the 'Itali' proper
were the inhabitants of the southern
part of the country. AS to the origin
of the name, there is the normal le-
gend of King Italus; but his name
must have been pronounced Vitalus
or Vitulus, which means a bull-calf,
and it is easy to recognize in it an
allusion to Italy as the land of cattle.

When l hear of a woman blushing
and cringing before the scowling face
of an irate husband who has just de-
livered lecture to her upon economy,
home staying, breaking off with clubs,
and the like, l wonder that she does
not rush headlong into another room
until the dove of peace helps them
make up. Why does not a wife show
a little more spirit and gumption in
taking her own part when she is
forced to listen to such sallies heaped
upon her Unexpectedly instead of
meekly wiping tear from her eyes
and assuring her lord and master that
she will not take part in this and
that very soon again?
When alone, a grieved wife's pride
asserts itself. She knew that she had
been home body-too much of one;
delving into the housekeeping, over
working in the monotonous duties, I'M
til night gave her tired hands relief,
while she crept into her room at dusk.
She had commenced to notice that she
could be of some account to humanity,
when her active sisters called her upon
the phone, and urged her to give them
helping hand in several places where
there were vacancies which badly
needed to be filed Until she had mar
ried, her clear, pleasing voice had been
heard in concerts and musical gath
erings. Why not take a part that
was vacant and help the village choir
out? She was importuned and soon
was at her post there, regularly, de-
spite the stormy upbraidings of her
other half. She did not patronize the
milliner or dressmaker very often.
Instead, she made up her dainty eve
ming apparel herself, and contributed
the money she saved to worthy clubs
and charities. She could have over
looked all of his insinuations of her
love Of idle gadding had he not made
light of her woman companions at
these meetings. "They simply leave
all home work and go here and there
afternoons to show off their peacock
like tinery of attire; to ride past
those who footed it, in automobiles
which caused envy. In fact, they
seemed to have one desire and that
was to push to the front wherever
they congregated, and thus be the
first on the list of desired invita-
TONS
At that she summoned courage to
flash defiance at this misunderstood
ing which he had shown. She ar
gued every point which made these
womens lives bright and their pur-
pose helpful, and life-saving in many
instances. And then she gained the
day, spelling her victory, as no doubt
some would say, by going up and
holding out her hands to him and ex-
claiming in wheedling tones: John,
I am right in my doings, and so 1
can afford to forgive you" What
husband is there who would not have
thought her the dearest of wives, hum
BILE herself as she did. A soft answer
is said to turn away wrath. Many
woman has reclaimed her loved ones
and taken the better part-changed
his opinions to good, and he hardly
knew the reason why.

FINDING FAULT WITH HIM.
Where the apple reddens
Never pry-
Lest we lose our Edens,
Eve and |.

If you have husband who is trying
hard the best way he can to get along,
to hamper him in his bitter fight with
the harsh world. One word of encour-
agement from the woman he loves
will put heart and strength in him to
make renewed efforts; her sneer will
make him so respondent that the light
est blow struck at him by an unfeeling
stranger will force him down and out.
1t is every mans right to have a
happy home if he provides one for
his wife and assumes the responsible
ity of its upkeep. If his nerves and
brain have been on the rack all day
by business cares and worries, he
should find peace, comfort, love, con-
sideration and cheerfulness within
the four walls of his home
Wives may not think that such hus-
bands need coddling, and loving, but
they do. What encouragement has a
husband who has worked hard all day
if he is met by a fretful wife who
is ever ready to recite her woes to
him, but never asks of him Did you
have busy day, dear, and are you
tired? If you do not feel like going
out we will postpone going to the
movies or concert of lecture until
some other time"
How grateful the average husband
would be for such kindly solicitude,
which tactly proved to him beyond
the power of mere words how dear
he was to her.
Even if a husband does err in his
Judgment now and then, he should not
be made to feel that he had committed
an objectionable folly. Wise is the
wife who throws her arms about his
neck, assuring him that she is sure
he has done everything for the best,
and that success will come their way
when he is least expecting it-that
her confidence in him is unshakable.
Such a husband will have renewed
strength TO try again, aye, and keep
on trying until he really does win out
Many a man has a dread OF telling
