OF the prisoner who spent thirty
years In a noisome dungeon and
then one day escaped-by opening
the window, and climbing out.
As . matter Of fact, most Of our
so-called problens-those plights
and predicaments Tn which we are
continually getting yourselves

and easy an. avenue OF exit, II we

The trouble Is that for rs the

the surrounding wall.
4 Human Failing.
We can always see how very
foolish It Is for John Smith or
Mary Jones to put up with the
conditions under which they labor.
IF 1 was h their M I'd do some
thing" we say. But when we face
our own ''hxes," what . different
mental attitudeI We moan and
beat our breasts. and declare that
no one ever had to cope with such
q difficult situation before.
Let ne cite b case which has
been submitted to me. A certain
woman left a widow with two
small daughters buckled to and By
her own efforts succeeded In sup
porting, herself and educating her
childxen. In time one Of the girls
grew up and was able to add from
her earnings to tho family purse.
They had a comfortable home,
lived happily together and had
some money laid by for q possible
emergency.
Then the mother met q man to
whom she says she was strangely
attracted. They discovered that
they were members Of the same
fraternal order and communicapts
Of the same church. Everything
that she could learn about him in
dicated that he was q solid. re-
spectacle citizen Of good income
and unimpeachable reputation
vidower with three grown sons.
Their acquaintance rapidly r.
pened into courtship on his part,
and by the end Of two months
he was pressing her to marry HIM
She asked time for consideration,
but he proved 80 persistent that
very shortly afteFVard she yielded
to his wishes and became his wife.
Almost Immediately friction de-
yeloped. She learned, she says,
that the man had deceived her IN
regard to q number Of thing and
had made promises, to WIN her,
which he never intended keeping.
She declares that he only wanted
her in order to get q cheap house
keeper, and files a long bill Of COM
plant regarding his domestic
parsimony, his confessed inddel-
ity and the open favorttism he
displays toward his own children.

she says. They slander her 10 he
neighbors and constantly endeavor
to prejudice their father againSt
her; yet they are never curbed N
the slightest degree.
Her experiences were 40 nm
bearable, indeed, that within leaa
than q year after her marriage she
left his home and entered suit
for q separate maintenance: but

ways and on the advice Of her
lawyer she returned, only 10 apd

younger daughter to school with
the money she receives from the
elder one for board She appealS
to me as q disinterested person 10

And this from q woman Who has
already succeeded In making her
own way In the world. who lives
in q State where the laws govern
ing such ea1es are OF the most
modern and liberal character and
who Is evidently fully apprised Of
all her rights; q woman, more
over, who, to judge from her let
ter. is Of superior intelligence and
ability.
Question Is Raised
OF course, she gives only one
side Of the story, and Friend Hus-
bands amendments might lena an
entirely different color 70 her mar
rative. She admits that his recog,
nized steadiness Of character and
his standing in the nelghborhood
where he has lived for twenty
years would make people slow 70
believe her claims. Granting.
though, that the facts are - she
represents them. what possible
answer save, one Is there 70 give
to her question? Get out.
She raises the question Of
duty" With her first duty hani-
festly that to herself and 70 ths
children she brought into the
world, how can she see any call
of duty in subiecting herself %
unnecessary indignities, and her
children to ne atmosphere Of .
bear-gardsn Of wrangling and dis
senSion?
But, she says in spite Of al
that has happened she stiIl loves

to 60 to him in love and demand
a better understanding and .
recognition Of her rights. No dis
interested|S person can advise har
what to say; Her oEn heart must
speak Love does not cringe, love
does not recriminate or scold.
Love simply tries to understand
the troubles and difficulties with
which the other person iS bat1
Ting; for, as the old French
proverb has 1t, to know All is to
forgive. /, That IL, II she really
loves him. II she does not, notA-
ing remains but to get out.

Carnival Cancelled to Aid Production,
Unnecessary attractions IN the coal

to distract the mine workers from
their duty are being eliminated
through the efforts Of the United States
Fuel administration with the patriotic
cooperation Of citizens and mine
workers.
