TRIPLES THAT MEAN MUCH
Overlooked, They Cause Unhappiness
Among Married Folk-Woman's
TWO Commandments.

Married folk make desperate efforts
to be interested in each others affairs,
and sometimes they succeed, for they
manage to stand each others dullneSs.
They assert their egotism in turns. He
tells the same stories several times.
He takes her for a country walk and
fOrgets to give her tea, and she never
remembers that he hates her dearest
friend Mabel. Where the rift grows
more profound is when trifles such as
these are overlooked, and particularly
where man has work that he loves,
or to which he is used, which is much
the same thing. In early days the
woman's attitude to a mans work
varies q good deal. but she generally
suspects it q little. She may tolerate
it because she loves him, and all that
is his is noble. Later, if this work is
very profitable, or if it is work which
leads to homer. she may take a pride
in it, but even then she will generally
grudge it the time and the energy it
costs. She loves him, not his work.
She will seldom confess this, even to
herself, but she will generally lay down
two commandments:
l. Thou shalt love me.
2. Thou shalt succeed so that l may
love thee.-W. L. George, in the Attain
tic.

DOUBLE POSTAL RATES
DAILY PAPERS TO PAY TWICE
FORMER PRICE.
Postal Tax Provision Adopted by Small
Majority After Hard Fight
in Committee.

Washington, May 9.-The revenue
bill with it's second-class postal rate
increases probably will be reported to
the house today. 1t can be said that
no present arrangement for the deliv-
cry of smaller papers within the coun-
ty issue will be disturbed. They
still will be free.
Daily newspapers dropped in city
post offices where there is a post-office
carrier service for delivery within the
city will be carried at the old rate of
1 cent pound.
Fraternal, religious, labor and agri-
cultural newspapers issued by clubs
or societies and not for profit will be
given a fiat rate of IL cents q pound.
All other second-class mail will pay
rates as follows: cents a pound
in first and second zones; cents
pound in third and fourth zones; 5
cents pound in fifth and sixth zones;
6 cents pound in seventh and eighth
zones.
1t is said in Washington that no
daily paper is likely to escape with
much less than twice its present postal
bills.
There was a hard fight in the ways
and means committee, it is said, on
this postal tax provision and 1t was
adopted by small majority. The de-
bate in the house will begin on Thurs
day. There will be contest on the
floor on the provision, but there seems
to be feeling that it will be passed.
The senate finance committee will
hold hearing on the measure on
day yet to be fixed. but probably not
until Tuesday.

An Illustrious Precedent.

At the beginning of the war the
French soldiers Invariably wore mus
taches. 1t evidently pleased the old
commandant, for he remarked on sew
eral occasions about the appearance
of his men.
One day a soldier appeared before
the astonished commandment with no
mustache. He had shaved 1t. The
officer was exasperated. He called
the man before him and demanded to
know where his mustache was. HIS
was met with the reply that the sol
der had become tired of the mus
tache and had shaved 1t.
"It's an outrage" stormed the COM
mandant. did you ever hear of good
French soldier without mustacheT
"Yes, SIR" replied the man in the
ranks.
"WhoT demanded the commandant.
Napoleon" came the reply.
And the commandant wilted.

fifth and sixth, cents for the seventh,
and cents for the eighth zone.

Quoted without profit, such as religious.
periodicals, will pay one-half cent per
pound universally, and newspapers dis
tributed directly from the point of
mailing will, as heretofore, pay a rate
of cent per pound.

nothing to say for the mani And it
was the consensus of opinion in Mount
Mark that modern lovers were mostly
crazy, anyhow!
And springtime came again.
Now the twins were always original
in their amusements. They never fol-
lowed blindly after the dictates of GUS
tom. And when other girls played
"catch" with dainty rubber balls. the
twins took unto themselves a big and
heavy croquet ball-found in the Avery
woodshed. To be sure, it stung and
bruised their hands What matter? At
any rate, they continued endangering
their lives and beauties by reckless
pitching of the ungainly plaything.
One Friday evening after school
they were amusing themselves on the
parsonage lawn with this huge ball.
When their father turned in, they ran
up to him with sporting proposition.
Bet you a nickel, papa" cried
Carol, "that you can't throw this ball
as far as the schoolhouse woodshed =
By the way, will you lend me a nickel,
papaT
He took the ball and weighed 1t light
Iy in his hand. I'm an anti-betting
society,"" he declared, laughing, 'but
very strongly believe it will carry to
the schoOlhouse woOdshed. If it does
not, I'll give you five cents worth of
candy tomorrow. And If 1t does, you
shall put an extra nickel In the collec-
ton next Sunday"
Then he drew back his arm and care
fully sighted across the lawn. "I'll
send it right between the corner of the
house and that little CEDAR" he said.
and then, bending low, it whizzed from
his hand.
Lark screamed, and Carol sank faint
ing to the ground. For an instant Mr..
Starr himself stood swaying. Then he

And With Winter Here.

The toiler at the next desk but one
has been a source of continuous annoy
ance to this department ever since food
prices started soaring last month. He
insisted daily that there was no high
cost of living, and proved it by quoting
the prices he paid for meat and pro-
duce at his grocer's. For instance, he
asserted frequently that for ten cents
he could get "all the steak he and his
wife could eat" We retorted angrily
that many men starved their wives, but
most of them had the decency not to
brag about it. For it is no pleasure to
a man with a $50 grocery bill to hear
the ecstasies of one with $40 food
bill. But he gibed on blithely, voting
