ers In the special election as Il now

son for employing them. Several
large department stores commu-
nicated with the council protesting
against the measure. declaring that
they might as well put uniforms on
their store detectives, as crooks
could readily spot the detectives,
knowing them In advance. Mer-
chants look upon the proposed law

speculated upon the kind of a wife he
had, and wondered if through them
could keep Bob interested and at home.
If Mrs. Baldwin proved congenial /

So when we left him at his gate, just
a block from our home, | was unusually
cordial, so winning Bob s approval:
| "Why aren't t you always like that,
Margaret9' he asked as we turned to-
ward home. ''I should be so pleased if
you were genial to all my friends. :"

"I know he answered, and the tone
of WEAKNESS often detected was plain
ly in his voice, 4" L know" he repeated.
Our aloofness, Bob 8 and mine seem
ed to extend to the simplest matters. We
seemed to have nothing in common save
the children. Other young couples talk
ed of their household matters, consulted
together when a guest was expected as
to the menu, and talked over the gem
eral household expenses. Bob had no
slightest interest in the homely mat
ters of housekeeping, yet he, / knew,
enjoyed having his home well kept.
But he left all detail to me, and seemed
annoyed when l talked of household
matters.
g Life is too short to spend it talking
of non essentials, he often said when
we talk we should talk of something
elevating, give each other new thoughts
There are vital subjects upon which
one can converse, or interesting topics
if they care for the lighter things;
but servants, food, the machinery of the
home should be kept out Of our eonver-
sation."
AS my home and my children were the
total of my interests 1 had but little
to talk of with Bob-little that interest
ed him. see that now, although at the
time, [ was impatient of his criticism
and deplored his lack of interest in his
home.
A real home,'' he once said, is

a restful place where man can drop
the sordid everyday business life and |
entertain thoughts and give expression
to ideas which are necessarily crowded
out in the rush for money during his
working hours.

Rippling Rhymes

EATING TOO MUCH

You're digging your grave with your teeth,
you're eating your way to your doom; then
some one will come with wreath, and
fasten it onto your tomb. Your stomach is
weary and sore, long, long has it yearned
for rest; and still you keep throwing in
more, the which you would have it digest.
Go slow on your eating, beg; the money
you blow in for pies, would buy some poor
cripple a leg, or fix him with vitreous eyes.
Oh, list to my patient harangues, don't turn
from my rede in disgust; you're digging
your grave with your fangs, while millions
are craving a crust. All Eurone is hungry.

A POLITICAL PLUM

1t sort of unwritten law among politicians that the

and qualified for any reasonable position The democrats
rewarded their state chairman with the appointment of
minister to Sam and the republican chairman at the last
election now wears the senatorial toga This is
why the office which carries no salary is so ardeny
