MANS WAR ON WILD THINGS
Trifles Seemingly of Small Significance
Have Power to Cause Much
Irritation.

There are awful little things be-
tween two people. Here are some of
them:
NAB. When tired, the wife has a
peculiar yawn, roughly: "HoO-hoo
Hoo-hoo!" The husband hears it Gem
ing and sometimes curdles within
him.
MOS. Every morning in his bath the
husband sings, There is fountain
filPd with blood drawn from Emman-
uel's veins"-always the same.
M124. The wife buys shoes quar-
ter size too small and always slips
them off under the table at dinner.
Then she loses them and develops
great agitation. This fills her hus-
band with an unaccountable rage.
MICS. The wife is afflicted with the
cliche habit and can generally sum
up situation by phrases such as !:
"A1l is not gold that glitters." Or,
''Such is life" or "Well, well, it's a
weary world" The husband car hear
them coming.
There are scores of these little cruel
things which wear away love as sure
ly as trickling water will wear away q
stone.-W. L. George, In Atlantic.

FASCINATING WIVES.

People think they are paying a man
a compliment when they say of him
HE has won an exceedingly fascinat-
ing woman for q wife" Nine men out
of ten are pleased to have their better
halves so described. To the tenth man,
the words "a fascinating wife" are q
stab in a wound which will not heal.
women who are delightful companions
for acquaintance and friends, but
make no attempt to be pleasing to
their husbands in the home. Their
smiles are for the outside world, their
frowns and irritability for those about
their Preside If such wives would
pay one-tenth of their attention to the
men who are entitled to whatever sun
shine they can radiate how different
life would be for such husbands. The
wife who is the life of party at din
ner or ball is often glum in her house
hold. She makes no attempt to use
the little feminine articles to fas-
cinate her husband that she does to
attract and keep in with society men
in the ballroom who know only the gay
butterfly side of her existence.
The girl who has been foofishly
hattered into the belief that she is
beauty of unusual type, with mag
netic personality, carries that same
conviction into her welded life. 1t is
often a dangerous plaything at her
command The fascinating woman
las craving to be admired, to be
more popular than the women about
her, to attract strangers and hold
friends. The world is her playground.
Home is merely a resting spot between
festivities.
There's another kind of fascinating
woman that the world never hears
about These are wives who have
neither beauty, wit nor any accom-
plishment to speak Of : Such wives
bend all the energies of heart and soul
to make themselves pleasing to the
men who have led them to Hymen's al
tar Their smiles. endearing words,

of the whole family if they had moved
and he had seen where they were.
"All night they kept wondering If
the next moment would be their last
and if the Owl would find them and
destroy them.
''The morning at last came and the
Crow family were safe. Oh, how tired
they werel Not a wink of sleep all
night!
Now Wen teach that old Owl a
lesson said Father Grow.
"'But he will kill u.s. said one of the
Crow Children.
Nonsense, caw-caw, caw-caw, he
will DO nothing of the sort said Faith

daytime as we are at highland we
will worry him just a little to teach
him to leave US alone in the future

all they were worth. And they drove
the Owl miles and miles away from
their home.
"'Oh dear said Mr.. Owl, what a
shame Pm so dull In the daytime My
wisdom can only be used at night
But the Crows went home cawing,
Safety for US. We're glad he is
stupid in the daytime. Then we can
have our glorious revenge?
But when they put their heads un-
der their wings that night they all
decided that they would rather go
without the revenge than have many
another night as they had had the
night before when they had all stayed
awake and had been afraid that every
moment would be their last.

able to do as he pleases at night, Mr.
Crow gets the better of him when day
time comes.

the Crows learn in the Crow school are

must do"
YES" said Nancy, 81 suppose that
is true. But what a terrible scare
the Crows must have had when the
Owl was hunting for them. An Owl
seems so much more dangerous than

If man commences to flatter a
young woman quite as soon as they
are introduced, she should not take it
| for granted that all he says is Cos
! pei truth. 1t seems strange to Sensi-
Bile men what success these f1atterers
have in ingratiating themselves into
the good will and afterwards the
hearts of women.
There are men who make study of
making soft speeches to innocent, I'M
suspecting women. They take good
care to tlatter only the woman who
they think will stand for it. If she
takes kindly to what she deems COM
pliment, they grow holder. 1t does
not take long for the adroit flatterer
to make Roadway. He is seldom or
never a man whose heart is touched
by women. He has an eye usually to
wealth. His creed is that a man can
win with a fiattering tongue, within a
few months time, fortune by we'd
ding; whereas, if he attempted to make
fortune by hard, noble industry, he
would live his life out in poverty.
Poor girls, he finds, are on the alert
against fiatterers. Young women of
wealth are not so wary. He gives
such a girl the impression that it was
case of intense interest with him the
first instant he saw her. After the
first glance, he could not forget the
blue of her eyes and the first words
she uttered. He finds nine women
out of ten are pleased to hear that.
And he is amused secretly at their
foolishness in believing it. 1t is his
belief that women dOte on flattery.
1t never occurs. to them that he is
using the same speeches over and over
again to every woman he meets. What
woman suspects him of telling a fib
when he whispers ardently to her that
she has the most charming personality
of anyone he ever met? That it is
heaven on earth to be by her side?
She may be as homely as a hedge
fence, and know it; but he can actu-
ally make her believe that he thinks
her quite a beauty, clever and charm
ing. She may look fright in this
hat or that one, but a flatterer never
makes the mistake of telling her the
plain truth.
Womenkind, as a rule, do not take
kindly to unvarnished truths. Wom-
en- who take to fiattery as duck to
water never choose plain, blunt, out
spoken man for lover. 1t is we'll
known fact that after flatterer wedS
a girl of wealth, and he has weedled
her into giving him the reins of her
fortune in part, or generally in its en-
tirety, his fiattery stops short. At
that stage of the game she is pretty
apt to hear his actual opinion of her.
He wastes no time in idle sophistrieS.
It is needless to say the woman who
lends a willing ear to the fiatterer gen.
orally rues it. His pretended inter
est in her is shortlived. Even the most
obtuSe observers of men and their
manners cannot help but discover this,
soon or late. She finds she has trust
ed man who is not worth woman's
love and devotion.
This type of men will flourish as
long as women will pay heed to them.
When, stranger begins to flatter it is
seldom best to allow his acquaintance
to ripen into friendship.

Plants That Give Heat.

We do not, as rule, think of plants
as giving out heat, yet at certain times
some flowers show an astonishing rise
of temperature. Most remarkable in
this respect are certain kinds of arum.
Just at the opening Of the flower, in
these cases, there is great liberation
of heat; this is due to the fact that the
respiration, or breathing, is at such
times very vigorous. Some very inter-
esting experiments have been carried
out in connection with these arums by
means of placing a thermometer just
inside the spathe. One of the most re-
markable cases was that of species
growing on the Mediterranean coast,
and known as arum italicum. The
temperature of the air was 60 degrees
at the time of the experiment. That
inside the spathe was ITO degrees AT
that time the blossoms, which when
expanded are practically scentless,
gave out a fragrance suggestive Of
wine. 1t is said that plants of this
type are practically common in Mexico.

CROWS AND OWL.

"An old OWL" said Daddy, had
missed getting some Song Sparrows he
had tried for, and their eggs, some
time before, and he was bound he
would have something better to make
up for it.
"sThere is a wonderful Crows nest,
he said to himself. 1T is just the time
for the Crow Children to be at their
best. / think / shall have look at
them tonight
1.-THE Grow Children every day sat
in row on the branch of tree and
had schools They learned many things
that must be learned in 4Crow-land.
Just as Children must learn TO read
and write.
"One of their most important les
sons in the summer school had been
the Cornfield lesson. They did not
need any book to learn about the
Cornfield. But they must remember
that gun is very terrible thing and
that it is better to go without corn
than to run any risk of falling to the
ground from one of the shots sent into
the air.
'1They learned that Men and Boys
were apt to guard the Cornfield, and
one Cornfeld they had left entirely
alone because they thought there was
always a Man standing with gun
waiting. In reality it was Scarce
crow-or pole dressed up to look like
a man and scare the Crows away.
But they had been quite safe and
the Crow Children were growing more
handsome every day. Their time. for
moulting had passed and they had
taken trip to warmer climate where
they were spending the winter.
Zone evening a boot was heard
through the woods. 1t was quickly
followed by another.
Danger called Father Crow. The
mother and her brood drew their
heads from under their wings and sat
watching.
1--WE must not leave our nest said
Father Crow. And all the Crows shiv-
ering and very sleepy stayed and
watched all through the night. For
the Grow is helpless at night and the
Owl could easily have made short work

CHAPTER I.
introducing Her.

None but the residents consider
Mount Mark, Iowa, much of a town,
and the very most patriotic of them
all has no word of praise for the ugly
little red G. B. & @. railway station.
Mount Mark is anything but proud of
the little station. AT the same time it
certainly does owe the railroad and the
state debt of gratitude for its pres
ence there. 1t is the favorite social
rendezvous for the community! The
arrival of a passenger train in Mount
Mark is an event-sOmething in the
nature of G. B. & Q. "at home" and
is always attended by large and en-
thusiastic gathering of "our best
people" All that is lacking are the
prOverbial eight refreshments I"
So it happened that one sultry morn
ing, late in the month of August, there
was the usual fiutter of excitement and
confusion on the platform and in the
waiting room of the station. The ha-
bitueS were there in force. Conspicu-
GUS among them were four gayly
dressed young men, smoking cigarettes
and gazing with lack-luster eyes upon
the animated scene, which evidently
bored them.
The Daily News reporter in a we'll
creased, light gray suit and tan shoes,
and with eyeglasses scientifically bal
anced on his aquiline nose, was making
pointed inquiries into the private plans
of the travellers. The young woman
going to Burlington to spend the week
end was surrounded with about fifteen
other young women who had come to
''See her off," Mount Mark is a very
respectable town, be it understood, and
girls do not go to the station without
an excused
A man in black business suit stood
alone on the platform, his hands in
his pockets, his eyes wandering from
one to another of the strange faces
about him.. His plain white ready made
tie proclaimed his calling.
"It's the new Methodist minister"
volunteered the baggage master, cross
ing the platform. 81 know him. He's
not bad sort"
"They say he's got five kids, and
most of 'em girls" responded the Ad-
ans express man. 81 want to be on
hand when they get here, to pick out a
girl"
"Yahl" Knocked the telegraph opera
tor, bobbing his head through the win
dow, you need to-. They tell me every
girl in Mount Mark has turned you
down Already"
But the Methodist minister, gazing
curl of smoke announced the coming
of No. 9 and Prudence-heard nothing
Of this conversation. He was not a
handsome man. His hair was gray at
the temples, his face was earnest, only
saved from severity by the little clus-
ters of lines at his eyes and mouth
which proclaimed that he laughed
often and with relish.
Train going east"
The minister stood back from the
crowd, but when the train came pound
ing in a brightness leaped into his
eyes. A slender girl stood in the vesti-
bule, waving wildly at him a small
gloved hand. When the train stopped
she leaped lightly from the steps.
Father" she cried excitedly, and,
small and slight as she was, she ell
bowed her way swiftly through the
gaping crowd. "Oh. father!" And she
flung her arms about him joyously, I'M

Father ExnIains-

"Pa, what is meant by the 'psychol-
ogical moment?"
Have you never seen your mother
ask me for check. SOM"
"Oh, yes, pa"
"And did you ever notice that she
always waits until have had good
dinner, and she has brought my slip
pers, and has pulled my easy chair
around to the light and struck match
for my cigar?"
ayes, pa
well, that is what is known as the
psychological moment for making a
domestic touch"

scorn. His better principles are
trampled down. After the first false
step. it is easy to go the pace that
kills. With young girls many are the
causes which lead to their downfall.
In nine cases out of ten, it is an unfor-
tunate affair of misplaced love. The
cheap all-night dancing places have
much to answer for the open doorway
through which innocence passes and is
lost.
Wrong kinds of women companions
are quite as great menace to the
maidenS as to the youths. Many peo-
pie enormously think that it is in the
company of male friend at a res
taurant that young girl is usually
induced to take her first glass of liq-
uor. But this is not so. Many girl
can trace the habit of drunkenness to
women friends who decoyed her into
taking the first social glass. Parents
and guardians believe their girl is safe
if she is calling upon young woman
friend. This friend is generally lit
tie older than the GIRL much jollier
and gains an influence over the girl
who hungers for friendship, when this
woman sets forth cake and wine
in her own apartment, it is usually
easy for her to beat down girls
scruples to partake of it. When wine
is in, wit is out She has acquired the
taste for it. Innocence quickly fades
before worldly experiences. If the girl
has been ambitious to shine, poverty
being her stumbling block, the lure of
fine clothes and easy life, has led to
her undoing.
The girls who have hardened to the
influence of home life, making con-
fidant of their mothers, even in the
smallest matters, always turn our well.
Mothers ward off alarms and stave off
companionships which would blast the
purity of the girl. Two young girls
who had been chums at school recent
ly, met on Broadway, New York, one
afternoon. The hand of one was eag-
erly outstretched to the other in the
joy of recognition.
II am not worthy to touch your hand
now" painted the other in burst of
tears 81 know you are good girl;

telling her everything, escaping the

concealed all possible from my mother.
Our paths, likings and. souls lie wide

Only she who has sinned knows the

level in woman's crown of glory.

the church had felt great interest in
the man and his family. They inquired
on every hand, and learned several in
teresting items. The mother had been
taken from the family five years be-
fore, after long illness, and Prudence,
the eldest daughter, had taken charge
of the household There were five clEl-
