Timely Tip.

How to elude your wife when she in
sists that you positively must wear
your rubbers when you go out:
First, tell her you positively will not
do it. This will produce in her an at
titude of resignation, and she will al
most forgive you for not wearing them
for giving her a chance to act the role
of martyr.
Second, say that you never wore
rubbers before you were married. She
will then tell you that you were al
ways sick, too, and will work herself
into a jovial glow by thinking what
good care she is taking of you.
Third, wear the rubbers to keep
peace in the family.-Judge.

Evidently Was Annoyed.

Duels have been fought over the
most remote fancied insults. M. Ro-
mieu, who seems to have been an ed
itor, got letter from young lawyer
which ran: "Sir, send you with this
note ballad, which l beg you will
read with great attention. If you
think you can add few words to it.,
and they suit me, consent to accept
you as a collaboration" The manu-
script was returned with note thus:
"Sir, l have read your ballad with the
greatest attention. leave to you the
choice of the weapons"

To Soften Pecan Shells.

Almost all housewives know how
very hard it is to crack pecan nuts.
Pour boiling water over the nuts and
allow them to stand tightly covered
for five or six hours. The nut meats
may then be extracted easily without
a trace of the bitter lining of the nut
Use nut crackers and crack lightly all
around the nuts. The work is quickly
done and is not at all like the ole
tedious process of picking out the
meats from the dry nuts. The meats
nearly always come out whole.

Hit Two With One Bullet

A Belgian soldier on sentry duty
near the arsenal at Calais heard a
man approaching one night and chal-
lenged him. Receiving no reply he
fred and killed the man who was iden-
titled as M. Victor Fasquel, work
man, fifty-seven years old. The bull
let which killed him traversed his
body and wounded British soldier in
in a neighboring camp.

Is it worth tear, is it worth an hour.
To think of things that are well out
worn?
OF fruitless husk and fugitive flower,
The dream foregone and the deed for
borne?
It is great blessing to behold wom-
en- who have sweet, confiding natures,
but there is such thing as being too
confiding. No blow is more cruel or
more keenly felt than to discover
ones faith has been misplaced, ones
trust rudely shaken. The maiden who
is too confiding-confessing unasked
to a man that he has awakened an in
terest, if not tender sentiment, in
her heart-realizes her mistake when
she sees that her admission has lost
him. The wife who Is too conf1ding-
telling her husband all of the secrets
of her family-is sure to rue it bitterly
if trouble comes between them, and he
gives broadcast to the world the in
formation he was not entitled to know
about.
OF all women accredited with judg,
have had experience. Yet she of
supposed sense-solid as the rock
of Gibraltar-is susceptible and may
easily become the victim of overcon-
fidence if she does not use the ut
most caution. She has been accus-
toned to defer to the opinion of
her husband, even on most trivial mat.
tiers. She has never thought her own
problems out or been guided by her
own Judgment - .~ .1Es ges
Left alone, she is helpless. There
are always acquaintances who stand
finances, if she has been left well pro-
vided for, and apparently, confidence
sharks are wont to find the lovely, un-
protected widow easy prey.
His scheme is as ingenious as it is
heartless. His wife is the first to con-
dole with the bereft woman. She is
brought to their home to take her
away from her dreary surroundings.
Here she is consoled, catered to, ca
joled into the belief that there never
were such kind friends, so devoted
to her interest and the desire to make
her forget her woe.
The wife suggests that her husband
will be only too pleased to look after
any little business matters the widow
may be perplexed over Her conf
dence once gained, the way to her
bank account is straight road easily
traversed. The husband of her dear
woman friend persuades her to draw
her funds from the investments the
departed one has placed them in, and
put where his Judgment directed.
When her house Of faith, which has
has been builded on the sands, falls
with a sudden jolt, she wakes up to
find her beautiful illusions regarding
friendship cruelty shattered.
Each and every investment that
friends have made prove to be a fiasco.
With her mismanaged wealth flown,
she wakes to find herself sadder, but
wiser woman. When strangers show
too much regard for an unprotected
woman of means, she should be chary
indeed of letting them into her conf
dence too deeply. She should also
be wary of the man who is viking to
take all the trouble of managing her
affairs-for friendships sake only. He
may have an ak to grind. Women who
are too confiding learn soon or late to
beware! take care! They should never
relegate to strangers a task which
they can do for themselves.

Calls "Hoboism" a Disease.

''Hoboism is not habit, but dis
ease," says Rev. John A. Gray, in
structor in sociology in the extension
division of the University of Minnesota.
The reverend gentleman bases his as
sertions on a two-weeks' investigation
of Cleveland's homeless problem, dur
ing which he lived among hobos,
tramps and buns in the city's cheap
lodging houses.

Substitute for Gold.

A substitute for gold is obtained by
combining "a parts of copper with six
parts of antimony and adding a little
magnesium carbonate to increase the
weight. 1t is said that this alloy can
be drawn, wrought and soldered very
much like gold, and that it also re-
ceiyes and retains golden polish. 1t
is worth something like 25 cents a
pound.

ulating to develop an Interpretation, realizing the
while that it is to be pcrpctuatcd-that it Is dr
rcctcd not merely to the present generation, but
to p~ostcrity. One realizes that at last really
great pianistic art. the art which rises. to the
heights, may achieve immortality-a thing lit.
possible before the advent of the highly perfected
reproducing piano.
"IOW immensely the field of the pianist's in.
/ i fuencc has been extended! Through the
Duo.!Art Pianola, the pianist may reach the civil
ICED world-may literally play to everyone, instead
of the few thousands or tens of thousands whom
he meets with in his audiences of the concert
