THE JUDGE FINDS
HIS NAME IN PAPER

Judge Gordon was considerably
surprised to find his name mentioned
in the notes of the public examiner
who checked over the county affairs
in December, and wishes to explain
that it was the result of his own
carelessness. The examiner sage
"Claim No. 11728 of Charles Cor
don makes a charge of $40 per day
for acting coronor This charge is
in excess of the amount allowed by
law which is So per day." The judge
says he is well aware of this and filed
a claim to cover the whole cost of
holding the inquest upon the body
of Joseph Quinn, and because it was
composed of numerous items he
Jumped it into one sum. He says if
he had taken a few minutes to item
ize his claim and show that it cover
ed subpoenaing witnesses, jurors,
administering oaths and travelling, as
well as one day as acting coroner,
he could have collected S10.85 and
his name would not have been
among the examiners criticisms. You
can't slip anything past these exam
iners, they know what's what.

After orders had been issued yes

attentions, the little treats, the word
of praise, the compliment on a new
dress or hat, the little things that
make a woman's heart sing with
joy, and that makes marriage worth
while to her.
The great majority of women,
however, never even so much as
think of training their sons to be
good husbands. Nor do they train
their daughters to be good wives.
Very few mothers would be willing
to see their sons marry the kind
Of girls their daughters are.
Mother has raised her daughters
up to be selfish and spoiled and lazy
and eXtravag CANT, and she Is ready
to foist them without mercy on any
poor young fellows who are taken
with their pretty faces. But heaven
defend her own boys from marrying
girls who have never considered any
other human being in the world but
themselves, and whose only law is
their own pleasure!
You even hear mothers boast that
they have never taught their daugh-
ters how to cook, or sew, or keep
house, yet the very foundation of
domestic happiness and the pros
perity Of the family depened upon
the wife being a thrifty manager
and making a comfortable home.
Nor do women instill into their
daughters minds the truth about
marriage-that it is an obligation
that they take upon themselves,
and that they have no right to throw
it up and quit because it Is full
Of hardships and self-sacrifice in.
stead Of being the joyride they
thought it would be.
Neither do mothers pass on to
their daughters their own hardly
won knowledge of how to get along
with husband, how to bear with
him and forbear, how to jolly and
handle him with tact and diplomacy
yet that precious bit of information
would save many a marriage.
Believe me that the most impor-
tant question that any mother can
ask herself is this: Am I raising UP
my son and daughter to bless or
curse the woman and man who
marry them?"
