MEMOIRS OF ALEXANDER HER

"Herzen's strength lay in the essay and the memoir He wrote in a style which possessed the keenness Of Vol taire and the wit Of Heine, but was tempered with the omotionalism of conviction that was Nict2sche's. II is therefore with great satisfaction that one greets the first volume of his memoirs. These volumes, when com plcted. will give the English reader not only brilliant portrayal Of met ropoitan and provincial Russia dur ing the first half Of the 18th century, but also an acute analysis of western European affairs and personalities from 1S47 to 1870. an analysis Falu- able both as diagnosis and as n prognosis."

 This is an elaboration of lecturcs delivered at Leland Stanford univcr- sity in which the author submits the role the free agency Of the human mind has played in advancing civiliza- tion. He distinguishes this freedom Of the mind from various other in- Nucnces. material and moral. that are alleged and are believed to have had rrrat effect in shaping the fate Of na- lions.

Wife Has to Wait an
Hour.

The other evening a man and his
wife arrived from Albany by a day.

was Connecticut way he took taxi to
the One Hundred and Twenty-fiftb
street station. tells the New York Sun
and Globe. At that hour traffic over

announcer calls out the trains as they
arrive.
The man paid little attention to him
as train after train pulled in despite
his wife's nervous qLestionings. IT'S
all right" he said. "!'ll know when our
train arrives. The upholstery of the
seats on the New Haven trains is DIFF
ferent from that on the Central"
The time passed and more trains.
Then the man himself began to get .
bit impatient. He went up to the an.
nouncer. "Your train" said he, "came
In and pulled out five minutes ago.
The next is in an hour"
The following 60 minutes were spent
by the man in explaining TO his wife
how things had changed in the running
Of the roads since he had been ther<
before.

SHE sPANKs eRRINe HUSBAND
He Aequiesces ia the Punishment and
Declares They Get Along
Splendidly.

We have with us a married man whs
admits that his wife spanks him when.
ever he does serious wrong. They be
gan their married career in a business
partnership and made money. When
thu husband began TO spend more tnan
lii;: share and ran around nights the
wife on one occasion tied him face
downward To the bed and dashed him
to FRAGILE with strap. The hus-
band accepted the findings of his su.
preme court in good faith. He had his
lesson and admitted that II was com
ing to him. Now when he does any
thing TO which the wife can honestly
take exception she takes him down
into the cellar and administers the
strap. says the Los Angeles Times.
The husband makes no attempt n
resistance. 1t is his medicine and he
takes it. He says that he and wife
get along spIendidly together. Wheth-
er the lady ever gets spanked or not
the husband does not say. But he
does assert that the wife who spares
the rod may spoil the husband II all
husbands lined up for spanking
whenever they stayed out after mid
night or lost 81 at poker IL would be
better all around. The husband would
prefer the strap to a tongue flashing
and the wife would feel better for the
physical eXertion.
When wives get together for gossip
It would be proud matter for converse
when one could boast that she had not
had occasion to spank her husband for
six months. Also it would be easier
for husbands to avoid the temptations
of bootleggers and other vicious per-
sons if they would take no chances Of
belng spanked by an irate wife.
