To- my daughter. every day of the
year bride cometh unto me for in
struction, saying:
Tell me, Oh mother, now that I
nave got this man, how shall bind
MN unto me, forever? For, alas, they
nave toid me that husbands heart
must be stimulated, and his sentiment
constantly inspired.
Yea, they have said that even in
marriage, there is no such thing as
perpetual emotion, and a permanent
wave Of love.
Then teach me all thy wisdom, con-
corning how to hold a husband"
Yet, in all the days of my life, verify,
no bridegroom hath come unto me seek
ing instruction concerning how to hold
himself with the fond delusion
that womans heart like unto
a, postage stamp, will stay put" for
ever; and his mind is not troubled con-
witching for her delight.
Go to! Though a wife may grid her
self in rubber and court slow starva-
tion for the sake of her slenderness,
what man resisteth the tempting potato,
or ,denieth himself the alIurlng rice
pudding, that he may preserve his
| What man tighteneth his belt a sin
gle eyelet. that he may appear a
''sylph' in his wife's eyes?
What man danceth gally when his
| shoes pinch, and smileth when he suf-
| fereth from toothache, that he may
seem always "sprightly and vivacious o.
What man shaveth twice a day, and
| covereth his face with scented talcum,
| that he may be always "kissable?"
What man wasteth his shekels upon
fancy dressing gowns and embroidered
breakfast coats, and satin boudolr Slip
pers, that he may be more aluring to
his wife's sight?
What man steameth his face. and
weareth chinstrap and plucketh out
his eyebrows, that he may resemble,
forever, the fresh young thing" whom
his wife married?
What man rusheth for the looking
glass, patteth his back hair, and moist
eneth his lips, at the sound Of his
wife's footsteps approaching?
Verify, verify, when thou beholdest a
man whose boots and fingcrnails are a
shining, light, thou writest him down,
"a bachelor
But married man is known by the
dullnes of his shoes, and the wrinkles
in his coat, and the bulging at the
ness of his Sunday morning chin.
For, upon six days of the week he
faceth the world and must shave; but
upon the seventh, he faceth only his
wife and giveth his chin rest.
And there Is no fear in his heart
that anything can mar his irresistible
attraction or dim his fatal charm, while
he possesseth beauties of the soul"

The month of August is said t

The month of August is said to
have shown downward trend in pri-
ces because the public refused to pay
excessive prices. Many more exces-
sive and extortionate prices can be
and should be brought down in the
same way-just as certainly as it is a
fact that many of the excessive prices
are the result of everice unwilling
ness to do unto the other fellow as
one would have the other fellow do,
However, the trouble is deep-rooted,
many abusing the other fellow for do
ing the identical thing the abuser is
doing or would do without hesitation
if the opportunity came. The funda-
mental principles Of Christianity is
the only dependence to save this coun-
try from the effects of the carnival
of selfishness prevailing. If those
principles ever come into play, we will
be rescued-if not, we will continue to
drift upward in money, not downward
in morals.
