Is all the splendor OF life contained.
Here's whore the mother and child await
The day and It's toiling end.

every calling where he comes in
contact with the people.
II we reember the ministers who
have been our greatest leaders and
the ones we have loved the most
and wanted to retain the longest.
1t has been the ones with wives
whom we also wanted TO keep. The
minister who has been least sue
cessful is the one, as I remember,
who has often had to come to the
defense OF his wife because of some
untactful remark or act. That m q
him lose power and made his e
gregation gladly willing for him To
pass on.
] have seen the wives of presi-
dents OF colleges who were a mill
stone around their husbands neck
and 1 have known a bishop whose
whole career, and the church he
tried faithfully TO serve. was re-
tarded by n wife who would not, OF
could not, fit into his magnificent
work.
These presidents and the bishop
had risen In spite of their wives, not
with their aid. The load gets too
heavy after a while. however. and
all such men find their stopping
place early because of the excess.
/ have heard n minister announce
In his first sermon to a congrega-
ton that they had hired" him and
not his wife-"so leave her out OF
the situation" But 1t is impossible
to leave her out of the situation,
and IL he has a wife who doesn't
help him in every situation, she
must of necessity hinder him.

office he is as polite. tactful and
considerable as n human can be, bu,

time to snub Mrs. Blank. The whole

Is ~ fair?
/ think so. We like the wives Ia
have a little common sense and q
little political sense as well as the
husband. Knowing a wife's influ-
ence over her husband we can hope
that he will do better work in Of
flee with a sensible, sweet wife,
than with a narrow, ugly-acting one,
IL Is just as natural to suppose
that a husband will vote his wife's
way as for her to vote his. That is,
IL she Is interested enough to want
to get the vote. That is fair, and
1t is also being done.

Jack Clears Up After Helen's Party.

The last guest was gone. Even the
two serving maids had departed.
Jack and Helen were alone with the
debris of the party. 1t might seem
strange to one unused to reactions
Of n sort that Jack, as he looked
around, wondered how all the dishes
were going TO get washed. 1t may
have shown a small mind-at least
1t was a practical one.

Helen asked. the disorder troubling

stifle a wide yawn as she moved to-
ward their sleeping room.
See here. Helen! We can't afford
another penny for this supper. II Is
so late now an hour longer won't
kill us. Let's get all this mess
cleared away before we go to bed.
1t will be awful TO get up to sue a
place"
mot on your life, Jack! I'm dead!
II you had worked al hard as I have
to get up that party, to have 1t a
success. you would not feel so much
