Since her marriage Zoe had not
been in close touch with other fam
lies. Her home life had taken her
attention and she had paid very
little heed to what her nelghbors
were doing, giving no thought to
their domestic affairs.
1t was a surprise to her when she
learned that all husbands were not
domestic like Allen, and that some
were very unreasonable in their de-
mands upon their families.
Since Homer's sickness a young
married woman, Mrs. Leonare, had
been there much of the time to lend
her assistance. She was a sweet
faced capable woman who took the
burden of much care of the house
from Zoe. The family all liked her
and she became a general favorite.
She lived in the village where her
husband kept a grocery store.
Through her association with Mrs.
Leonard Zoe learned that all hus-
bands are not thoughtful for the
Others comfort and pleasure like
Allen, that Mrs. Leonard was not a
free agent as she had supposed all
married women were, her husband
exacting obedience from her as from
a child.
One Saturday when Allen and Zoe
were going to the city they invited
Mrs. Leonard to ride with them as
she had said she also must go soon.
She accepted their invitation and
seemed much pleased, but when
they drove to her home to take her
in the husband forbade her going.
The woman was much distressed
and when Zoe insisted that she
should go she shook her head and
with an apology for the trouble
she had given then turned and went
into the house.
Zoe was puzzled and a little in
dignant- She felt that Mr.. Leon
ard had Inundated his wife without
cause and that he was unreason-
able in his demands. She glanced
at Allen as they drove away and
knew by his countenance that he
was annoyed. They were some
distance before either spoke, then
Zoe asked,
what kind Of a man is Mr.. Leon

them out instead.

Zoe remembered this talk with
her mother later when she saw Allen
in conversation with an agent who
she knew was selling stock in oil
lands.
She had hoped he would invest.
A neighbor who had gone west and
bought some of the land had writ
ten back glowing accounts of the
fortunes which were being made in
the oil region. She had not doubt
ed that the returns from an invest
ment would return them an hundred
fold of an increase.
The Clifton's reverses impressed
her and a doubt of the safety of the
project crept into her mind. The
doubt grew and as the men were still
talking she feared that Allen would
be persuaded to invest.
At length the man was gone and
Allen made his way to the house,
Zoe met him at the door.

sell sharesw she asked.

He looked at her in establishment.
"Why Zoe," he said, II thought

you'd be disappointed. | hated to

too much risk. For the children'S

she told him about the Cllftons.

me and | resolved then never to
take chances in get rich quick
schemes. We are not rich but we
have enough to live comfortably and
we have peace of mind.
In spite of the recent death Of
little Doris Zoe was happy after hel
talk with Allen. Her common sense
had come to the rescue of the home
! which for time had deteriorated SC
noticeably. She awoke to the fact
that those who were left were still
under her care and there was song
of thankfulness in her heart that
Homer was spared to them and was
recovering.

To repair wall paper, instead of
cutting a square of paper tt fit the
place which needs patching, tear out
a piece in roughly jagged fashion;
then, placing it upon the wall, care
fully match all lines and figures,
without a straight edge anywhere
on the patch itself. Placed thus
upon the wall the eye can not de-
tect the piecing at all, except when
one stands at certain angle. The
irregulality of the lines of the patch
forms the camoufage.

Charge for Fuse Replacement.

1t has been the general custom
among the electrical companies of this
country to make free replacement of
the fuses which are blown out from
time to time but there is now a gen.
eral tendency among these corpora
tons to make a charge for this serv-
ice. 1t is necessary to have men ready
at all hours. especially at night, to
answer calls so that the service may
be restored with the least possible de-
lay and the expense of this has been
found to be a burden which it is now
proposed to relieve themselves of by
making a charge. Some companies
which hesitate to take this step are
urging their patrons to lay in a sup

company at cost and in case Of q blow

CRETE ONCE A GREAT POWER
Understandable Laws Under
Which People Lived.

MnOs, king of Crete. exercised a
preponderating power on the sea; he
drove out the barbarous Carians from
the Cyclades, and eXterminated piracy
which among the Greeks had been
openly prOfessed; he kept the people
of the coasts in awe of him, and at
the same time forced them to pay him
tribute.
Crete was advantageously situated
to become mistress of the sea, but at
length a confederacy arose which put
an end to her dominion. MinOs wish
ed to render the Cretans mild and
gentle In their manners. To attain
this object he allowed free indul-
gence, Plato says. to licentious excess,
even of the most flagitious kind, hop
ing that the refnements of gal
lantry would mitigate the native
ferocity of his subjects.
As individuals the Cretans pos
sessed eminent skill in military af-
fairs. while the laws which they
adopted prevented the state from I'M
dertaking any great enterprise abroad.
They elected ten cosmos, or regulators,
to govern in peace and war; and when
the period of their office was com
pleted they remained members OF the
legislature. The judges were all men
of advanced age, and young men were
never allowed to propose a change in
the law. and all proposals we're made
in the senate. and secretly. Slaves
titled the soil, and the citizens ate to-
gether in public companies, while the
country was divided into twelve por-
tons for agriculture and business.
