l wonder if it is possible, little
book, for any woman to be success
full wife and mother at the same time.
l look ahead and fear, for since
Dick and have been married l have
learned that while you yourself are
very apt to get over that idea of
wanting to belong" husband
never gets over the idea that you do
belong to him exclusively. When
Dick and l are alone everything goes
on very smoothly, as l am only in
terested in his affairs and him, but
when any one comes in and have to
divide my interest he is always I'M
comfortable, and oftimes most ext
gent Even his mother gets on his
nerves, and when his nerves are the
least bit rasped he always finds some
way to place the fault on me.
This morning when we were talk
ing about the pleasant time we had
last night, the hall boy announced
Mrs. Waverly, ST., through the tube
and Dick said: Gee, Margie, don't
you think you could manage to keep
my mother from 'butting in every
time we get moment to ourselves"
l laughed, and then it came to me,
little book, how Dick always instinct
lively blamed me for anybodys butt
ing in" if he happens to want me for
himself.
Do you think, little book, that am
the carping critic of a husband who
is probably just as other men are.
But you understand, don't you, that
not to any one else on earth but you
have 1 ever uttered the slightest COM
plant of him. 1 expect because
have you as safety valve is the rea-
son why have not done so, but will
confess this much to you, dear little
receptacle of my inmost thoughts,

body the things about my husband
that Kitty tell me about hers.

the theater, and yet 1 did not feel
that would care to go'to such pub

called upon Aunt Mary to help me
out She knowing what l wanted,
suggested that l ask Dick to get
tickets and take her and Kitty to the
theater. was a little dubious about
Dicks being faVorably impressed
with the plan, but, much to my sur
prise, he seemed greatly pleased.
I'D like to take Aunt Mary to The
Follies' he said with a laugh. 1t would
be such a good joke to shock her."
Then he added: Don't you think you
could go. Margie, we could get a
box and you could sit in the back
of it"
This thoughtfulness on Dicks part
warmed my heart, as answered, mo
dear, would feel happier at home
Later there will be plenty of time for
theater-going for you and me-"
"Gee," said Dick over the phone,

his appearance. I'm awfuiiy tired of
having to batch it when l take my
amusements."
All day long my heart sung as
thought of what Dick told me, and l
took myself to task for ever doubling
my dear husband. He loves me just
the same as he always did. He can
not help being true to his somewhat
thoughtless self. Unless Dick is great
ly interested or greatly moved, he
does the thing that is easiest and
pleasantest to do. He will work like
a demon in his business, for that
means winning the game, and Dick is
a born gambler. He will stake his
health, his pleasure, his money, or
even his love on a chance that at the
moment looks good to him. l some
times wonder how he is going to take

IN ISN'T FAIR

The wild statements that have been
made about town charging the opera
house fire to the vets Is not fair to a
lot OF honest men who we've in the
liquor business and who have retired
gracefully and are turning their at
tention to other pursuits, It's serious
charge TO lay the burning OF build
ing al any mans door and to make a
general statement that "the vets did
it, is including a lot Of good fellows
with some irresponsible ones.
When one looks at this matter in a
fair light 1t appears differently. What
could anyone gain by setting fire to the
opera house out OF revenge? The only
persons who are so affected by the
dry" regime that they suffer financial
loss are the saloon keepers, OF the
saloon keepers i'm the vicinity of the
opera house not one of them has in
surance enough on his building TO
anywhere near repay him, in fact the
Dalpra block. Camilli's place, Challan-
Gins, and all places in that direction
have no insurance The Notes boys
and Pinterella have but very small
amount Of insurance and they are not
affected by the town going dry because
Notes had planned to go into another
business and Pinterella has candy
store
So there don't seem to be any motive
sufficient to prompt one 10 do so des-
perate deed Some irresponsible
might make a threat and in fact, might

that onto class in general is not

Iron Ore Buying Is Slow

Consumers afiiliated with the lead
ing iron ore mining and selling com
panies have taken large tonnages OF
ore since prices were determined last
week. but consuming companies not
connected with the ore companies are
not buying generally, but are showing
disposition to await developments
as they see no necessity OF obligatine
themselves financially by buying ore
at the present time This attitude
was expected and il has not caused
any disappointment or apprehension
among the ore sellers.

state commerce commission has re-
duced the ore-carrying rate from
