probably holding husbands hand. But
the only way you can make your hus-

willingly.
Finally, In managing a husband re-
member that the whole art Is summed
up in studying your man and learning
how TO jolly him along. Do things the
way he wants them done. Put things
In the light he prefers. Have an in

jokes. Listen to his stories Show
him off before people. Praise his
achievements. Let him see YOU really
love and appreciate him aud admire
him. Heaven knows II is little enough
to do for the poor slave who tolls un-

When woman asks for advice about

When a woman asks for advice about
how to manage husband She does Sge
desire to be given a. reliable recipe Tor
"bosSrg' him. Not one wife In a thou
sand would have her husband obey her.
If she could, for by no one Ia the hon.
domestic tyrant who pecks him.
No. BY managing a husband a
woman merely means getting along
with him without friction. getting him
into his evening clothes and out to a
party once a week without a scene
and generally getting what Is coming to
a wife without having to use sand
bag or jimmy to obtain 1t. And, more
especially. she means working some
sort of conjure on him so that he will
always see her surrounded by the 70
mantle halo OF lady-love, instead OF
in the prosaic attitude Of a useful
household convenience.
Therefore, the study OF how to man
age husband is not only a proper one
for wives, but one that shall be ac-
counted unto them for merit, as Mr..
Kipling would say. Especially by hus-
bands, for undoubtedly 1t is much more
soothing to have our fur rubbed the
right way than the wrong, and pleas
anter to be beguiled along the pathway
we should so than it is TO be prodded

The great original tip or this impor-

90 Years Ago
Twice Told Tales
JANUARY a, 1895.

Rev. Samuel Watson, aged 81 years
died. He was a resident of this city
for 80 years, having been editor of the
Memphis Christian Advocate and for a
number of years presiding elder of the
Memphis district. He had been retired
by the church for a number Of years at
the time of his death. He was known
throughout Tennessee and in Methodist
church circles for his writings and
forceful sermons,
Improvements in the facilities as well
as in the management at the county
asylum and poorhouse were promised by
the county court today, when a delega
ton of members of the Women's council
appeared before the body and pointed
out needed changes.
Col. George w. Balm, of Kentucky
one Of the best known orators In the
South, addressed 5000 people In Mem
phis today, his subject being Drink,
the Enemy of Labor and Business" Col
Balm Is an ardent prohibitionist despite
the fact that he is a Kentucklsn, and
made a strong plea for the abolition OF
Of the liquor traffic.
The big New Orleans packet, State oi
Missouri, struck an obstruction In the
river and went down in 50 feet Of water
near Alton. Thirty-nine lives were lost
including passengers and mep1bers Of
the crew.

bad news. The poor fellow has al
ready had about all Of the disagreeable
things to bear that he can stand during
the day, and to dump even one single
additional worry on him is the straw
that breaks the camers back. and
makes him roar tut surly mo" to
the most reasonable suggestion, and
say things that reduce you to tears.
An hour later when he Is rested and
soothed and comforted and tho world
looks better to him. he will be amenable
to reason, happy to please you, and
you may push your affairs with sue
cess, as the soothsayers put II. But
the Importance of waiting and watch
ing for the psychological moment in
which to tackle him.
The third important point in nnanag-
Ing a husband Is to learn to drive with
loose rein. Most wives make the
mistake of thinking that when man
enters the holy estate of matrimony
he Is committed to penal institution
that forever shuts him out from any
more personal liberty Also that they
are their husbands lawfully constituted
jailers.
That is why there are so many wan
dering husbands. Any man with a
spark OF spirit in him would rebel at
having to punch time clock, and pro-
duco an anbi Tor every hour OF his day
and night. More than that, the for
hidden fruit stuff Is 4ternally aIluring.
Hence the woman who wishes to keep
her husband bound. sets him free, and
she who wishes his confidence asks no
questions instead Of putting him
through the third degree. Any woman
who has enough sense to grant her hus-
band little freedom has him so CRATE
full he will eat out of her hand,
The fourth point in managing a hus-
band 10 to learn to play his game in
stead Of expecting him to always play
yours. Don't MI the house up with
your friends and your family and ex-
clude his. Don't drag him TO see prob
lem plays when he wants to 70 to
vaudeville shows Don't be a wet blan-
ket who is forever saying: We can't
afford this" and I'VE can't afford
that" when hubby suggests some little
treat Don't let him go gaddinR alone
because you think you can't leave the
baby.
