Helping a Husband-2.

/
MY friend Is not a weak woman,
continued the woman. but because
family rows and scenes were vulgar
and degrading in her sight. she eE-
couraged her husband in his tempers
by avoiding every subject OF dispute.
and giving In to him rather than see
him go into one of his shameful
RACES. When she found that he was
oftener out of a job than in one, and
that they had not the money to pay
their bills, she went to work rather
than be dependent on her relatives for
help. And when husband discovered
that she could support the family, he
! stepped aside and let her do 1t.
New my friend has one child-a
son, who. under the same method OF
treatment she had applied TO his ia
ther, grew up to be as no account
and disagreeable as his Stacker Ia
ther.
This precious youth got married Q
couple of years ago. but he didn't pick
out a woman like his mother. He
married a little red headed girl with
swapping pale blue eyes, who had
worked her way UP from cash girl to
head saieslady in a department of q
big store, and she wasn't overtur-
dened with refinement OF delicate SEN
ing anyoue's inner feelings. And she
had a temper like a train of fire.
works.
The FIRST time her panipersd hus-
band got peeved about something, in
stead of soothing him down about II,
as his mother would have done. and
I apologizing all over the place and tell
irg him it should never happen again,
she few into rage that made his
little ebulition OF temper seem IKE the
suffering of a candle beside vol
cano. She raved and broke up things,
and made q rough house that scared
him into good behavior Why he is
so afraid OF riling her and getting her
started that he's as meek as Moses
ne who never even tried to control his
| temper before,
And she has made him work. She
! resigned her job when she got married.
and told him frankly her candid
mas family. Also she informed him
that she wasn't the kind of fool that
mother was, and that she didn't pro-
pose to support any able bodied loafer.
as his mother had done.
And when he threw up his situa-
tion' as he had been in the habit of
doing when some little thing went
wrong In the office, she promptly
, packed her trunk and went TO her
mothers and told MIN that he needn't
follow, and she wouldn't come back
until he was able to take care of her.
And she isn't any model of
economy. either. She tells him that she
has to have things and he has got to
get them for her. and he does. And
because this necessity of making
money is driving him all the time he
has bent his back TO his work and Is
making good.
And this woman who Is selfish and
greedy. and shrewish is making a fine
successful man out of her husband,
whereas his mother. who was gentle.
and fine and noble, ruined her hus-
hand. All of which shows how hard
it is to tell when you are really being
a good wife and doing your duty by
your husband"

ATRIAL OF STRENGTH.

For the past five years the railroad
workers have been debating terms to
the government. There are indica-
lions that Washington is about to call

public at the same time they will find
it uphill work. The public is willing
for them to have all to which they are
entitled and all they can get by meth

of the transportation business of the
country. II the president and Direc-
tor General Hines decide to maintain
mands of the railroad men they can
depend upon the backing of all the
people outside the labor organizations.
Less than one-twentieth OF the pop
ulation of the United States cannot
dictate to the remaining nineteen
twentieths. The public is beginning to
understand that there is only one
place from which the director general
of railroads can get money to pay
higher wages to shopmen. or clerks,
or anybody else in the organization he
controls, and that is from the pockets
Of the people.
The railroad brotherhoods also
should understand that. This money
may be taken from the people in the
shape of higher freight rates, which
the original shippers of goods will
charge to their customers. who in turn
will pass the charge on to their Gus
toners. until the ultimate consumers
foot the bill in the prices they pay for
commodities. or it may be taken from
the people In taxes levied to meet the
deficits caused by government con-
troll OF The railroads.
whichever method be adopted, one
thing is sure, the people will pay the
bill. Higher freight rates, of course.
will add to the cost of doing business.
These costs the general public must
pay in increased prices of food. cloth
ing and all the other things it needs.
II the higher cost of transportation is
met by appropriation of money from
the national treasury. to meet the
deficits of government railroad oper-
alton, the people must pay by taxes,
directly or indirectly.

OF the shopmen and all similar de-
mands mean in effect this: I'VE

Organized labor protests that Il

to increase it, both by exacting higher
wages, and by characterization of

1t is reported that the war depart
ment Is preparing extensive plans for
military operations that appear to be
connected with Mexico. The plans, It
is said, represent a greater mobiliza-
ton than has ever been contemplated
for Mexico's Benefit since watchful
waiting became our national policy.
Great quantities of material of all
sorts-guns, pontoons. ammunition
and general supplies-have been or
dered to the border. Engineers are
making detailed maps of the forts of
the Rio Grande and of the passes and
canyons beyond. Intelligence officers
are collecting every kind of data that
would be of value to American COM
manders across the border. Question
naires have been mailed to thousands
OF reserve officers to ascertain their
immediate availability for field serv-
ice. 1t would be interesting to know
whether these activities are a part of
our announced change OF policy or
whether they are merely another

STOLEN FROM THIEVES

Bill Haywood, lately established as
guest in the Cook county jail following his
acceptance as a member of the National
ln-Bad club, knows a good deal about iails.
The bonding companies asked an excessive
rate to get Bill freed, so he decided to stay
inside

he had a few years ago in New York.
He had just been acquitted of completely

in prison. Arriving in New York, he drop

Of big daily newspaper.
'Im pretty busy now, Bill" said the
editor. "But I'll have one of the boys take
you around and show you the town. and
later I'll take you out to dinner"
Calling in reporter, he introduced him
to Haywood, and the pair started on tour
of the metropolis Either the reporter was
very young, or he didn t understand just
who Haywood was and where Bill had
lately spent his time
For the first object Of interest he took Bill
to see was the Tombs
John was spending bad morning trying
to explain to his good wife that he would

One day when President Wilson and party
were in Baltimore every precaution was
taken to secure comfort and safety, and
extra secret service men were employed to
look after the presidential party. A large
crowd filled the dining room at one hotel

filling orders. At one table three impatient
New Workers could not get service, and
when one Of them saw a tray Of viands

the head waiter impatiently.

DANIEL IN THE LIONS DEN
The True Story
w. D. CARTER.

The True Story
Old Daniel in the Lions den
Was hopeful though in misery
The beats were large and dreadful fierce,
With teeth both great and scissory.
And yet old Daniel did not cringe,
Nor try to climb the rocky wall;
He did not even back away,
And neither did he kneel to pray
He did not stoop to them at ALL
"What did he do" I hear you ask
"To COW those Lions was a task
OF magnitude, you must confess,
And fraught with pain and much DISTRESS ~
Of course twill be strange news to you
To learn the trick Old Dan put through
In Daniel s day all Lions knew
A heapsight more than now they do!
They understood the Jewish tongue,
And learned to jabber when quite young;
So Daniel lined those Lions up
From the oldest one to the youngest pup,
And then he talked, did your Uncle Dan eel,
In way to prove his tongue was flannel,
In voice both calm and steady
He talked the doctrines Of Mrs. Eddy.
He said
''Yuh jest imagine yuh want ter eat
They sure hahn t no sech thing ez meat!
It's Leo error hez got yuh cinched
Like mortal delusion hez got me pinched;
Yuh think I'm me, which ain the fact;
I'm only somethin' yuh think yuh see!
You re only Lions because you act
An seem what Lions ought ter be.
Thuh sun what shines don't shine at all;
When springtime comes you think it's Fall.
"Yuh try tub lash yer tails an roar
They don't no noises from yuh pour!
Thuh bugs an flies what seems tub bite
Yer NANCY hides an make yuh squeal
Hain't never done that thing, all right,
An yuh have only seemed tub feel.
When yuh have roamed thuh Desert vast
Yuh thought yerseves quite wild an free
Twas only just hollow dream,
Like thinkin' you are here with me.
[ hain't here an you ain there,
An all things round are really square;
Thuh rocks yuh think so mighty hard
Amt there tall ner never wuz!
An shelters never come GROUND
Although yuh think yuh We heered UNI buz!"
So Daniel talked thuh whole night long,
Although he wasn't over strong;
The sun arose at early dawn
But Daniel didn't even yawn.
He stood, asleep, though quite erect,
A thing I'm sure you'd not expect,
But ere he paused some out Of breath,
He'd talked those Lions all to death!

velopment was interpreted as mean ing the action never would be sought on the proposal in it's present form, and the democratic leaders generally said they had no plans for bringing it to a vote.
 Meantime, White House an nouncement and an executive ses- sion of the foreign relations commit tee brought to the surface again two other issues of the treaty fight.
 President Wilson, replying to a suggestion that he might put the country on a peace basis by declaring the war at an end, announced that he not only considered himself pow erless to take such step, but con- sidered a peace declaration either by himself or congress prior to ratifica- tion of the treaty, would "put stain upon our national honor," by evading responsibility int he world peace set clement.
 The foreign relations committee got into another argument over prompt committee action on the trea- ty, which ended by decision, with out record vote, to continue it's hearings to receive the cases of the Irish, Greek, Egyptian, Lithuanian Ukranian, Esthonian and Lettish races.

PRICE OF SUGAR
 BE CONTROLLED
Government Resumes Active Control to Aid in War on High Prices and Profiteering By Dealers.

Washington, Aug. Effective con- trol of sugar prices was resumed to- day by the government through an agreement reached between the de- partment of justice and the food ad- ministration that licenses will be re- voked by the latter when it is shown dealers have been profiteering.
 Sugar should reach the consumer at approximately eleven cents pound, it/ was announced, based on the ownership of the entire domestic and Cuban crop by the United States sugar equalization board which is selling to refiners at FPS cents a pound. Refiners are under a con- tract with the board to sell at 9 cents, less two per cent discount for cash. Wholesalers and jobbers are allowed a maximum of 68 cents per 100 pounds for handling, and retail CTS are allowed profit of one to one and one half cents per pound, making fair price II cents, except in cases where dealers have purchas- ed at an unreasonable" price due to misunderstanding in the trade. When this is fact, reasonable ! advance over the actual cost will be permitted.
