Menace to Domestic Happiness-2.

Menace to Domestic Happiness.
She will get nervous prostration
trying to keep the things hidden that
will irritate him and to steer the con-
versation away from topics that at
feet him as a red rag does a mad
bull. She will shed bitter tears of
shame, many a time, over the spec
tac1e he makes of himself in public
outbursts of rage. and her love for
him will gradually bleed to death from
the wounds of the cruel Speeches with
which he stabs her in his maniacal
outburStS of fury.
The very essence Of a happy mar
ried life is comradeship between hus-
band and wife, and there can be no
real companionship between them in
cases where either one is SO ufirea-
nable that it is impossible to discuss
or her. In such cases the unfortunate
victims of the high tempered learn
that peace is the price of silence. and
in the family circle they take refuge
in dumbness as in cyclone cellar.
1t is bad enough, Heaven knows,
when man gets virago for a wife
OF whose ebullitions of temper he
lives in constant dread and to whom
he dares not tell the truth about
things for fear of letting himself in for
a hystericaI scene, and with whom he
cannot reason, but it is far worse
when a woman is married to a man
With temper of which she goes Yin
fear and trembling. and which builds
a bar to any confidence between them
For the woman needs her husbands
advice and counsel She needs to be
able to talk over with him the prob
lens that the children present. yet
how can she do this if she knows that
at the first word of revelation of any
childish misdemeanor her husband
VIII fly into a rage that makes him
incapable of seeing the matter
straight, or judging it fairly.
Temper has wrecked more homes
| than drunkenness, infidelity. OF
gambling because we can overlook an
occasional lapse from the moralities OF
to live with, but the irritable. the
grouchy, the argumentative, the cross
and surly a.. a daily and hourly af-
| Fiction that only the heroic can en-
dure. And temper is the death blow
/ to love. The high tempered forget
the bitter things they say. to us In their
rage. but we remember them and
come to hate them for it.
Furthermore be assured of this
| The man or woman who has not
| learned to control his or her temper
| b, fore marriage will never learn to dc
| it afterwards. Instead. he or she will
| regard wife or husband as a legiti-
mate object upon whom it may be ex-
pended. and for this reason every SEN
/ sible man or woman should avoid
| marrying high tempered individual
as he or she would a leper.

DINNER STORIES

A little boy had a pony and a dog
and his generosity was often tried
by visitors asking him-just to see
what he would say-to give them one
or both of his pets.
+. One day he told a man he might
have his pony. reserving the dog,
much to the surprise of his mother.
who asked:
Why. Jacky, why didn't you give
him the dog?"
Say nothing-say nothing, mother.
When he goes to get the pony I'll set
the dog on him."

is the most wonderful thing man ever

obviously harassed by the question of
ways and means, replied as solemnly
as the proverbial judge:

THE GOOD TIME COMING.

Courage and confidence must mark
the feeling of the time. writes. Mark w.
Potter president of the C. C. & o. rail-
way, to the Manufacturers Record.
We are entering the most creditab1e
and prosperous era we have ever
known. There is no warrant for hest
fancy or fear. The uncertainties of
recent times are rapidly disappearing.
Conditions are becoming stabilized and
we know where we are. In a clear
light we are seeing our burdens, re-
sponsibilities. duties and opportunities.
Spiritually, morally, intellectually
agriculturally, industrially and finan-
cially, he continues, this country never
before was SO healthy or so strong.
The forces of nature, character,
brains, labor, technical skill and capt.
tai never before were so efficiently
united and never before co-operated
so tremendously to produce needed
and great results. Domestic and for
eign calls upon our resources, abilities
and facilities never were so great,
and never before were we so able to
meet them. Advanced governmental
policies will improve public facilities,
provide credit, bring capital and en-
deavor together, lessen restriction,
furnish elasticity, encourage competi-
ton and promote liberty of individual
action. This combination of condi-
tions spells collective and individual
prosperity.
Readjustments are to be made, but
they are incidental to the shifting to
a healthier. fairer plane and will make
for universal betterment. The factors
of our national prosperity will be re-
weighed and measured, and the value
of some will be reappraised, but the
combined efficiency of all the in
terrelated parts upon which the real
welfare of all depends will be in
creased.
There will be a change in the dis
tribution of results accomplished by
joint endeavor. Labor will receive
more and capital seemingly less of
what their partnership creates. but the
ca pitalist will become more laborer,
and laborer more capitalist. Large
fortunes will not become greater so
readily. Interests merely financial
will surrender some of their power,
but will do more for the general good.
AS facilities and instruments for legiti-
mate use and general prosperity they
will have better protection and COM
pensation.
A better and more helpful spirit
| of cooperation will prevail. Effort
will be made to make more with one
another. and, there will be less strife
to make more out of one another.
Without the loss of ambition, initia-
tive. industry or sagacity there will
be more sympathy, frankress and re-
gard for others in all relations and
affairs. Respectable business will be
less an endeavor to get what the other
has and more an effort to create for
mutual benefit. A more fraternal
spirit of cooperation and considera-
ton will bring efficiencies and econo-
mics that will more than absorb the
apparent gains and losses of the re-
adjustment. A sounder social and
economic BASIS that will save US from
socialism will be reached.

Senator Ashurst, of Arizona has in
troduced a resolution requesting the
president to open negotiations with the
government of Mexico, looking to the
purchase by the United States of Low
er California and about 10000 square
miles OF the state of Sonora. Surely
the senator will not expect Uncle Sam
to pay good money for the property
in view of the large sum that Mexico
owes this country and it's citizens.

On hands and knees into a hole
AS dark as night. Thesw way was rough
With coal and cans aud other stuff
The place was clanmy. damp and chill
As in a dungeon-all was still
Except for now and then a wheeze
A candle shed its trembling rays,
Distorting objects many ways.

With trembling limbs and features pale
Pressed over on, to be the first

There was no incandescent spark

And register a singing pain: 81 I.
