HOW HE HAS tanned HIS WIFE
One Undeserving Husband Demon
strates the Value of Blarney in
Domestic Life.

Uncle Green's wife has never said a
cross word to him. She has plenty Of
fight In her. and he does enough to
make her kill him, but she never abuses
him. When he reaches home, after
spending her last dollar on his friends,
writes Claude Callan in the For'r Worth
Star Telegraph, he says:
"After what I have done you
shouldn't have let me come into the
house. Here l am married to the best
woman in the world, and then l go
and act like a dog. You work like a
slave and then | go act this way. 1t
is pity that such a woman couldn't
have got a man worthy of her
The way I have acted ever since we
married, end the way you have worked
and worried, 1T is a wonder you don't
look older than your grandmother, but
in spite Of it all you have kept your
youth, and here you are looking just
as young as you did twenty years ago.
1 don't want you to give me any sup
per. 1t will be more than l deserve
if you'll let me go to sleep hungry on
the back porch. I'll declare, Maggie
is that you, Maggie? You are looking
so young that / couldn't believe my
eyes. And, Maggie, while 1 don't ask
it, if you want to give me a little sip
Of tea, it will help me wonderfully.
But know don't deserve it any more
than I deserve such a good wife"
Then she saws to him: "YOu have
our faults, l guess, but you are far
lead or the average husband for ali
at, and now you sit here and warm
yourself good while l go heat up the
supper. We didn't have anything but
bread and tea tonight, but If you think
you'd like 1t, I'll broil you q piece Of
bacon"

Orfuin of Lace-Makino

A romantic legend is still current
among the peasants of Europe concern.
ing the origin of lace. AS the story
goes, a lover, who could offer his be-
trothed no costly gift, one day brought
to her a leaf which he had plucked
in the forest.
She accepted it as a true token of
love, and preserved 1t with care. In
time the lover went away-to the war,
perhapS-and never returned.
The maiden priced the leaf then as
a sacred treasure, and when she found
only the delicate veining left of her
keepsake, she took needle and thread
and tried to copy the fairylike web.
And thus was made the first bit Of real
lace.-GirlS' World.

Wilson'S Plan

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. - Elihu
Roots avowed sympathy with Presi-
dent Wilson's plan to establish world
peace and his denunciation of Ger
many's course in the war, expressed
in an address before the National Sc
curity Leagues congress of construc-
tive patriotism last night, were still
the subjects of considerable discus
sion among delegates today. Mr..
Roots speech drew from S. Stanwood
Menken, chairman of the congress,
the explanation that the gathering is
intended to be neutral, regardless of
expressions of individual speakers,
who are free to say what they
Ilease."
Universal military training, advo-
Gated by Mr.. Root, also was urged by
many speakers today, although the
program topics were "Americaniza-
tion" and Governmental and Indi-
vidual Efficiency"

Exceed Boats
Built in 1916

WASHINGTON, Jan 26.-Loss to
the worlds merchant shipping in 1916
through war cases exceeded the total
tonnage constructed, according to esti-
mates prepared today by the federal
bureau of navigation. Vessels sunk
are put at 226 or 2,104.553 tonnage and
those built at 2,506, of 1,S89,943 tons.
The net reduction was about 100000
tons, or one and one half percent Of
the worlds total.
The figures we're gathered from
many unofficial sources, but are de-
clared to be approximately correct.
Great Britain led in shipbuilding
with $40 vessels of $4,000 tonG The
United States was second with 1918
vessels Of 100000 tons. Ships built by
all other countries are given as 1872 in
number of 72o,36S tons. Japan's con-
struction of 246,00O tons was about
three times the 1915 output. German
construction of $4,000 tons is admitted.

of the city's first business men, died
at his home, 46 South Ninth street,
this noon. Stricken with paralysis the
evening of Jan. Is, Mr. Hunt never raj
lied. His death today was the cul-
mination of that attack.
The death of Clayton Hunt marks
the passing Of one of Richmond's best
known pioneer citizen-merchants. A
life long resident of this place, an
active member of the First Presby-
terian church, a member of the G. A

was known and respected by host
of friends and business associates.
Known as Civic Worker.
For years Mr.. Hunt had been known
as a civic and religious worker. He
ceased to be identified with these
movements only when his advanced
years necessitated his retirement. He
retired from the grocery business
about three years ago. He was an
early business associate of Elwood
Morris, George Knollenberg and
George Mashmeyer, the later now de-
ceased.
