There is no more exacting prob
lem than this, among all the Vexed
problems Of married Life.
Shall the runner give up the
race or lag behind to keep pace
with q haccid partner?
There have been instances I'm
which the mentally stAgnant one
has been so deeply in love with
the "live wire" Of the combina-
ton that untold feats of industry
have followed. And the tortoise
has caught up with the hare, a.
In the old classic fable.
But alas, this is not often true;
the matrimonial tortoise is con-
tent to sit under its shell and
the hare dash on and hear all
about what happened when II re-
turns. II the hare does returni
But frequently the hare remains
with its own kind. 1t enjoys the
stimulus Of the race, Of matching
its wits and muscles with other
hares, and the dull little tortoise
waiting at home, becomes less and
less necessary to the happiness Of
the other.
II the tortoise loves the hare,
there is hard grueling work to be
done and much burning Of the
midnight oil, for one loves work
for works sake and the other loves
the worker.

put It: There Is q tide in the
affairs Of men which taken at the
food leads on to fortune"
II the school-techer Is wise, she
follows. She puts less embroid-
cry on her childrsn's clothes, few

facture on the table, and she keeps
pace with her husband in his
reading. in his progress, In his
work.
The wise woman, these daya,
does not let her husband do all the

Dear Sir:-Your recent edi-
torial as to power to be de-
rived from Great Falls Of the
Potomac was timely and to
the point. In almost any other
locality the falls would have
bean developed long ago, as
witness Holyoke and other
cities in Massachusetts, the
western half of Connecticut;
Troy, Cohoes, Little Falls,
Seneca Falls, Rochester,
Lockport, etc., in New York.
Also hundreds Of other places
nearer Washington. But as
the Great Falls project calls
for 3 long time and q long
bank account, why not utilize
smaller and nearby power?
The Little Falls can develop
right In Georgetown from one
quarter to one-half as much
power as the Great Falls.

United States AdmiraIs.

The first rear admirals in the United
States navy were commissioned in 1862
when that rank was created by act of
congress. David Farragut, for his valOr
in the Civil war, was made vice admir-
al In 1864, and two years later the
rank of admiral in the United States
navy was established for the purpose
of honoring him. The grade of admiral
was revived in 1890 and conferred up
on George Dewey, the hero of Manila.
The highest rank of American naval
officers in active service was, up to a
short time ago, that of rear admiral.
The title Of admiral was first used in
France, and the first French admiral
was appointed in 1894. A few years
later the title was adopted by the Eng
lish, and the rank of admiral of the
English seas was first given to William
de LeybOurne by Edward 1 in 1897.
