A blessing in DisguIse-f.

One of the commonest complaints OF
married women is that their husbands
do not understand them.
. When a woman. who is set and de-
termined on being miserable tho mar
ried, is united in the holy bonds OF
wedlock to a man who gives her
comfortable home, and good ciothes,
who punches the time clock on the APP
pointed hour, and who has forgotten
that there is another petticoat in the
world except hers,-She can always
fall back on her pet grievance OF not
being understood.
It's a nice intangible wrong, that
deals with glittering generahties, so to
speak, and there is nothing that a
morbid lady really gets more fun out
of than believing that she is All Soul.
and that she has been sacrificed in
matrimony to dull. and clumsy brute
who is incapable of compromising a
creature so delicate, and ethereal as,
she is. 4
Wives have shed enough tears oyer
not being understood to float an At
lantic liner, and it has all been so
much good salt water gone to waste,
for instead of being a cause for sor-
row. it's an occasion for rejoicing.
Every woman who has got a husband
who doesn't understand her ought to
get down on her knees, and thank
God for being so merciful to her.
It's because men don't understand
women that we can manage them, and
it will be an evil day when they get
wise to the feminine psychology. Then
our last graft will be gone.
So far, when a man gets married.
he accepts his wife %as is as the in
voice of bill of goods puts it. He
is committed to tie theory that wom-
an is a mystery that no man can
fathom. and SO he makes no attempt
to unridd1e the human conundrum he
has acquired. He blindly accepts his
wife's valuation of herself, and this
enables the majority of women TO get
away with lot of things that they
would never be able to pull off if their
husbands had a real line on them.
Take the matter of health, for in
stance. OF course, there are many
women who really are i'll, and no pa
tience and forbearance that their hus-
bands can show them is more than
they deserve. There are, however.
legions of other women whose alleged
ill health is nothing but a camouflage
for laziness.
We all know women who are foo
feeble to do their housework, but who
are strong enough to play golf, and
dance for hours: women who are too
delicate to manage a home and worry
with servants, but who are perfectly
able to chase down bargains, and sit
over bridge tables. We know women
whose fragile constitutions require ex-
pensive winter resorts, and summer
or European travel

JUST FOLKS
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

HERE WE ARE, THE THRONG OF Us.
Here we axe, the tbfong of us,
The clever, wise and strong OF us;
The tofler at his bench by day,
The banker with his gold.
The mother with her lullab1es.
The dreamer gazing at the skies,
The painter and the poet ana
The warrior brave and bold
Here we are. the crowd of us.
The humble and the proud of US,
Together for space of years
Upon this good old earth
Companions on the ship OF Time,
All Sailing to a brighter cline,
And all of us arriving thru
The gateway known as BIRTH
Here we are the great of us,
The twisted and the straight OF US
The weak, the frail, the muscled arm,
The tfrnid and the brave,
And each OF us with work to do
Before the span OF life is thru,
And each of us to come at last
Unto the silent grave.
oh. call it life. or what you will.
And choose whatever spot you will,
We stand or fall together
By whatever road we take,
We share alike the joy and pain,
The bitter lossyfhe goidep gain
For what the World is yet to be
The multitude must make.
We're born alike, we die alike,
For happiness we try alike,
If life Shall TEEN with hate and sin
The blow shall crush us all,
The rich. the poor, the great, the low
Must live mp to the best they know
For should disaster strike the world
Together we shall fall

The success o. the/soldier bonus
proposition in various states at Tues
days election will entail the issuance
OF many millions of dollars in tax
exempt state bonds. Placing these
bonds on the market probably will re-
suit in raising anew the clamor for
taxation of such securities Kansas
state bonds probably now can be float
ed on an interest rate of 4 or 4 z per
cent. Making them taxable would ne
cessite advancing the interest rate to
or per cent.

The government IS not exactly max
ing pruning books OF its swords. but
owing to the reduction of the arma-
ment requirements for warships. the
naval gun factory at Washington has
been set at work making mail boxes
of steel and brass for the postoffice
department, and it is considered pos
sible that other mechanical needs of
the government can be met with the

Because women have been accorded
equality with men in the political and

immemorial, according to the decision

wage law of the District Of Columbia

case of the Childrens Hospital, which
fought against a minimum wage of
$3.50 weekly for its women workers,
