women take strange liberties with
the affections of their wives and
husbands.
Conscious of the fact that they
are moral and upright, and that
they have done nothing for which
the partners of their bosoms could
hale them into the divorce court,
they do not feel it incumbent upon
them to keep themselves looking
personally attractive, or make them
selves charming and interesting, or
practice any of the arts and wiles
of the lover.
Nor do they ever dream that their
husbands and wives have ceased to
love them. On the contrary, they
are confident that Cupid is enjoy
ing the most robust health, and do
ing business as usual in their homes
because they have never taken a
club and knocked him in the head.
In reality love dies oftener of lit.
tie, miserable, petty complaints than
it does by some dramatic assassina-
ton. 1t is easier to forgive the big
sins than it is the little things that
get upon our nerves, and disgust u.s.
This is why women so often stick
to scapegrace husbands through
thick and thin, and forgive philander-
ing husbands more than the biblical
seven times seven. 1t also explains
why men are frequently devoted
unto death to women whose skirts
are not as immaculate as they might
be, and why they SO often weary so
quickly of women who are models
of all the domestic virtues.
Love has survived what seemed
a mortal blow, but it has bled to
death from the n-pricks of nag
ging tongue, or it has persisted Of
nervous prostration brought on by
having to endure irritating little per-
sonal peculiarities.
Perhaps the thing that kills love
oftener than anything else is bad
manners. Just lack of ordinary, COM
mon, everyday courtesy and polite
ness. Love that could be faithful
through twenty years Of absence,
just lies down and takes the count
when it has to endure daily rude
ness.
There are plenty Of men who
never dream of treating their wives
as If they were ladies. They never
think of such thing as taking off

Attempt to Obtain
Repeal of Tobacco
Tax Is Charged

State officials have been amused
recently by efforts to pick flaws in
the cigar and cigarette tax bill
passed by the last legislature. They
claim that opponents of the measure
are trying to raise some point ON
which the bill may be repealed for
correction at the extra session in No
vember, in hope that its re-enact-
ment can be prevented.
One point that has caused merri-
ment at the capitol is the claim that
the bill .eXempts cigar and cigarette
dealers from ad valorem taxes and
all other taxes, state, county or mu-
nicipal, either as merchants or in
dividuals, through the following
Clause:
"Be it further enacted that deal
ers in cigars and cigarettes shall not
be required to pay any additional
occupation tax to the state to that
imposed by this act, nor shall any
other tax be required of cigar deal
eTs."
T. r. Gress. assistant attorney
general, Saturday pointed out that
the intention of the legislature is
plainly shown in the act, and the
bill only exempts dealers from the
cccupational tax they had been pay
ing the state.

The Hunter Who Couldn't Shoot
From cruel deeds all folk would
shrink
If they but took the time to think.
Mr.. Grouse,
1t was very early in the morning
when Jumper the Hare had settled
himself in his favorite hiding place.
He had been roaming around most
Of the night and now he intended
to spend the day in this hiding
place. The terrible hunting season
was on and Jumper knew that he
was safest when he kept quiet.
Jumper had been there only a
little while and had just begun to
doze when he heard a sound that
caused his eyes to fly wide open.
Some one was coming, walking very
quietly and carefully. Jumper
peeped out from under branch of
a low-growing hemlock tree and al
most at once he saw the one thing
he most dreaded to see, a hunter
with a terrible gun. Jumpers heart
seemed to jump right up in his
throat, but he wisely remained right
where he was.
Nearer and nearer came the num-
ter. He had arisen at daylight that
morning so as to be the first one in
the Green Forest. Just a little way
from Jumper the hunter sat down
on an old log, 1t was near a place
which he had discovered was a
favorite place of Mr.. and Mrs.
Grouse. He was going to wait in
the hope that they would appear.
This, of course, Jumper didn't
know.
The hunter sat and sat and sat,
with his gun across his knees.
Jumper didn't take his eyes from
him. All the time Jumper was try
ing to puzzle out why that hunter
was sitting there, instead of tramp
ing about. Then in the distance he
heard the whirr of stout wings and
a moment later Mr.. Grouse came
into sight, heading straight for a
certain little open place where the
sun shown warmly, In the middle
of it he alighted. Instantly he
stretched himself to his full height
and stood motionless. He was a
picture of watchfulness and eau
ton. His bright eyes searched his
surroundings. He was listening to

catch every little sound.
Jumper looked over at the hunt.
er. The latter was slowly, very
carefully raising his gun to his
shoulder. Jumpers heart almost
stopped beating. What should he
do? He was afraid to warn Mr..
Grouse by humping. In fact, it
was too late to warm Mr.. GrouseJ
and he knew it. Jumper looked
back at Mr.. Grouse. 1t was clear
that he had decided there was ne
danger. He spread his beautiful
fan-like tail. He raised his wonder
full black ruff around his neck.
Never had he looked more hand
some.
Once more Jumper looked at the
hunter. His terrible gun was point
ed straight at Mr.. Grouse. Jumper
closed his eyes, for he didn't want
to see the dreadful thing about to
happen. He waited for the bang OF
that terrible gun. There was no
bang. Presently out of curiosity
Jumper opened his eyes and looked
again. That terrible gun was still
pointed toward Mr.. Grouse. but eveA
as Jumper looked it was lowered
and once more placed across the,
hunters knees. Jumper didn't know
what to make of it. The truth was,
that hunter couldn't shoot. 1t had
come over him suddenly that Mr..
Grouse was a wonderful and beauti-
full bird, standing there in the full
ness of his life, and that it was a.
thousand times better to, know that
he was living there in the Green
Forest than to have him useless
mass of flesh and feathers.
IT can't shoot him." muttered the
hunter to himself. II can't do 1t.
L don't need him for food and I
can't shoot"

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

their hats when they speak to their
wives. They never pull out their
wives chairs at the table. When
they go anywhere they stalk ahead
and let their wives trot along be-
hind like little dogs.
The only time they become artiCu
late at home is w'len something goes
wrong, and they read the riot act
to their trembling families. The
balance Of the time their converse
ton consists of series of grunts
that sound more as if they eminat
ed from a prize Duroc hog than a
human being. And they never,
never, never say "thank you" for
anything their wives do for them.
And thsRe are women who are just
as rude to their husbands as any
husband could possibly be to his
wife. They save all of their smiles
and Establishments, and pretty
speeches for company, as they do
their good clothes. They criticize
everything their husbands do. They
find perpetual fault with their hus-
bands. When their husbands take
them to places of amusement they

not make even a pretense of enjoy
fort to be entertaining, and they
never show any appreciation.
A man who is counting a girl
shows her all sorts of gallant atten-
tions. He flatters and praises her
and he wins her by making her feel
that he will always be her own true
knight, ready to do battle for her,
and that he will always surround
her with tenderness and considera-
ton.

tongue, and makes him believe that
in a cold and cruel world she is the
one individual who appreciates what

ing strange that men and women
feel that after marriage they can
afford to dispense with the tactics
with which they won love?
The next thing that kills love is
slovenliness. Sloppiness. Unt:di.
ness. The grand passion can endure
and want, and persecution, but il
cannot survive curl papers and dirty
kimonos and the lack of razors and
suspenlers and shoes. No man ever
wanted to kiss woman who haC
cold cream on her face, and who
wore slippers down at the heel, nol
did any woman ever see the hero OF
her gi dreams in man with g
three days stubble of beard on mis-
face, who went about in his stocking
feet.
The couple who consider that mar
riage is a carte blanche to cal
onions, and go any old way at home
had as we'll kiss love good-by. They
nav giN, body blow from
which it never RECEIVERS.
The third thing that kills love is
the theory that husbands and wives
have a perfect right to fight, and
that it is an innocent indoor diver,
sion that does nobody any harm. Sc
far from this being the case, there is
no family scrap that does not leave
wounds that never heal Always
they are a fostering sore that poison
the very fountains of affection.
No. It is not the big things that
kill love. 1t is the memories we &C
cumulate of rudeness, the iloven

unjust reproackes. of whines ans
