Henri, and soon concluded that her sto-
ries about her husband were false.
Then he accused her of his murder in
so many words.
The madam, strong ms she was, fell
in swoon, and when she recovered
consciousness confessed everything.
After ending that her husband was
dead, she carried his body to the cell
lar, and there chopped him into con.
venient chunks with an AK. The
pieces she sewed up in sacks, and ev-
cry night, until the whole body was dis.
posed of, she carried bundle TO the
river and threw ii In.
Even when this was known most of
the people sympathized with the wom-
an, knowing how much she had en-.
dured. The terrible story was carried
all over Europe, and for weeks to-
gether the newspapers were full of IL,
and many years afterwards tourists
went out of their way 10 visit the cor
ner of Brittany where Madame Henri
induced her husband to sign the
pledge.
The woman was tried and convicted
in due season, and was sentenced 10
twenty years ut hard labor.

He didn't take the money to the no.

his abode In merry humor. He opened
the door and entered, wearing vacu-
Gus grin. Madame Henri rose from
her chair and faced him, and hot
wave of anger swept over her. She
forgot her phenomenal strength when
she struck him. He fell to the floor

that he had taken his last drink.

observed queer-looking object on one

the help of long pole, hooked at the

Her Expansive Hat.

A woman entered n car rather out

appearance, for instead of a hat she
was balancing a huge basket on her
head with as much grace and ease as
If it had been her Sunday bonnet. She

brated in her own nelghborhood for
her physical strength. Without being
bulky or awkward, she had the power
6f two ordinary men in her muscles.
The strongest man in the village was
as an infant in her hands when, to lend
interest to the evening sports, she con-
sented to demonstrate her strength.
SO Henri married this lovely and at
tractive girl, and they went to house
keeping, and for a while the husband
was success. He worked diligently,
and spent his evenings at home, and
his wife managed so successfully that
money was being saved. But all the
time the young man hungered and
thirsted for the bright lights in the
tavern windows. And before long he
began making frequent trips to the
grog bazaar, and when he returned
home his breath spoke volumes. 1t
went from worse to worse, as IL usu-
ally does In such cases, and in a few
months Madame Henri had TO spend
her evenings alone. The husband was
holding high wassail at the Horn of
Plenty inn.
1t was breaking her heart, and she
pleaded and argued with him, and even
threatened, and all to no avail. Henri
came Keeling home nearly every night,
spectacle for the gods.
Then relative of hers died and left
her comfortable legacy. She had
long known that this money would
come to her, and when she was mar
ried she and her husband had made
beautiful plans as to what they would
do with 1t. They'd buy little farm
and live happy ever after. And now that
the legacy was hers, Madame Henri
made one last effort to arouse sane
ambition In Der husband. She implored
him to quit his foolishness and help
her carry out the original plans. He
seemed TO be reused by her entreaties
and promised. her to refrain from the
dowing bowl forever. He had sown his

of retailer or manufacturer except as
they affect the consumer. There Is
great need that the woman consumer,
who spends most Of the family income
for articles used in the home, should
be able to buy with the least extrava-
gance, the least in~efficiency and the
least waste. I believe that a uni
form price on an identified article Is
one of the chief means by which this
most. desired end can be obtained"
Mrs. Frederick declared that the
passage of the Stephens-Ashurst bill
will result In greater household efi-
cheney in buying for tho following
reasons:
First, It will help tho consumer
establish 4 standard In all pur.
chasing.
Second, It will guarantee to the
consumer a continuance Of those
standards once they are estab.
Iished.
Third, II will give 4 wider die.
tribution to more kinds Of prod.
ucts that tho consumer daily
buys.
Fourth, II will save the consum.
er's money because the fixed price
will guarantee a permanent, de.
pendable supply OF articles.
Fifth, 1t will be especially help.
full to farm women and small town
consumers who are now Victims
Of discrimination.
Sixth, II will make Il possible
for tho homemaker to practice
more efficient and less wastsfui
buying methods.
Seventh, It will guarantee to the
consumer that the goods which
she buys are made under honor.
able standards Of manufacture,
fair pay and sanitary conditions.
In, her argument for identified ar
ticles Mrs. Frederick said 1t was ad-
mitted that cut prices tend to drive
such articles from the market and
she WIS merely showing the interest
that the has In having ar
tIcles she buys SO marked and brand.

Suppose, for the sake If argument,
that there Is no such thing as an
identified article" said Mrs. Fred
erick. IF there Is no means Of identi-
flying, say, a pound Of butter or q
pair of hosiery, then every purchase
Of n of those necessities becomes
an experiment. In each case ] must
make a test which takes time. trouble
and money and which is worthless In

"Price juggling destroys the stand
