A CHRISTIAN WOMAN.
You are afraid of your husband and
he knows it; that is why he is unkind
and imposes upon you. You have
legal right to buy necessary food and
clothing within your husbands means
and he can be forced to pay for them.
The life you are leading is no better
than that of slave. Live as you want
to regardless of your husbands or
ders; speak to people and go to
church. You cannot command the re-
spect of your husband and your chill
dren as long as you are timid and
willing to be imposed upon. 1t would
probably do you good to get out and
work There is nothing to give one
confidence and self-respect better than
to earn ones own money. If you find
you can be nothing but miserable with
your husband get a divorce and ali

KILL DEXTER AFTER
10 YEARS WITH CITY

Dexter, the pride of the beat in the
days before motorized apparatus i'm
proved municipal equipment, has been
killed after IS years of faithful SER
vice for the city of Rock Island.
Dexter was a horse purchased by j.
H Fender, chief of police during the
last administration of T. J. Medill in
1S98-1S99 At first he was given the
prize duties of the city stables, being
used only by the mayor and the chief
of police. AS he grew older he was
shifted about until he finally landed
in the street department, but despite
transfer to the more common labors
of a horse Dexter never faltered in
his willingness to do his best.
1t was with regret, therefore, that
municipal employees had to order him
killed. Dexter was kicked by another
horse in the city barns and his leg
was broken. Rather than see him
suffer DR.. A. NJ. HOllingsworth was
instructed to end his misery. He was
IS years old.

day when he is able to support me
shall become his wife. He went away
to take business course last Feb
ruary, and he was gone just two weeks
when he returned. In that time got
three letters from him. He told me
that he couldn't stay away from me
any longer. He does everything he
thinks / would like to have him do and
he won't do anything that he thinks
will hurt my feelings the least bit He
comes to see me every Sunday and
sometimes he comes once in the week
if he isn't busy He has not gone with
any other girls since he has been go
ing with me. Do you think he really
cares for me?
BLUE-EYED BEAUTY.
He probably loves you now, but such
consuming love burns itself out, and
so YOU cannot expect him to love you
until he has enough money to marry
you. Since he is not willing to pre-
pare for work, the chances are it will
be a very long time before he is earn
ing enough money to marry.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am IS years
old. Over Memorial day | was visit
ing in another town and | met young
man whom | liked very much. He
seemed to like me. too. When I left
he asked me for my address. Did he
mean that l should write him? know
his address, because he lives in the
town where | was visiting.
HELEN GRACE.
The boy probably intends to write to
you. Let him write first.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: A girl has
written me a note asking me to take
her to commencement dance. don't
want to go with her Would it be rude
to ask some one else and then tell her
that | am going with some one else?
THANK YOU.
You are not obliged to go with the
girl Your way will be good one to
get out of taking her, because it will
not hurt her feelings.
