Don't think that you can dispense
with ell the little civilities of life
toward her on marrying. She ap-
preciates those things quite as much
as other women


Don't be gruff and rude at home.
Had you been that sort Of fellow
before marriage, the probabilities are
that you would be sewing on vour
own buttons still.


Don't make your wife feel that she
is an incumbrance on you by giving
her grudgingly. What she needs
give to her as cheerfully as if il
were q pleasure to do SO. She
will feel better. and so will you.


Don't meddle in the affairs of the
house under her charge. You have
no more right to be poking your nose
into the kitchen than she has TO
walk into your place Of bushes and
giving directions and orders TO your
employees.


Don't find fault with her extrava-
gance in ribbons, ETC.. until you have
shut down on cigars, tobacco, beer,
etc.


Don't leave your wife at home to
nurse the children on the score of
economy, while you bolt down town
at night, to see the show, or spend q
dollar on billiards.


Don't bolt your supper, and hurry
off to spend evenings louDging
around away from your wife. Be-
fore marriage you couldn't spend
your evenings enough with her.


Don't prowl in the loa6ng resorts
till midnight, wasting your time in
culpsble idleness, leaving your wife
lonely at home to brood over your
neglect and her disappointment.

Col. Leon and a Mr.. Perry, the lessees


Of Canyon ferry, Mt the head of tie Mag
pie, in Montana, recently started down
the mountain road behind pair of
horses. The wind swept violently from
summit to base, and with it floated great
clouds OF smoke, a party Of prospectors
having the day before let their camp
fires get away with them. About three
o'clock in the afternoon the Colonel and
his companion realized that the whole
vast incline back of them was in flames
and that the fire was travelling down
the mountain with great rapidity. With
crooked, rocky and in some places un-
broken road before them, they naturally
were alarmed. What was to be done
must be done with the utmost dispatch.
The only hope lay in outstripping the
fire. Col. Leon put whip to the horses
and the animals dashed along the verge
of precipices at breakneck speed. The
booming of falling timber and the roar
and crackle of flames almost drowned
the voices of the mountaineers. Hot
blasts Of air had nearly exhausted the
horses wher it was found, on making
sharp turn in the road, that it had been
choked up by tumbling rocks and debris
of pine that had come down from above.
The men were obliged to clear the road,
which took many minutes When they
agnin'started trees were falling all about
them, the atmosphere was thick with
smoke and impregnated with the fumes
of burning pitch. A sharp run of a
quarter of a mile brought the Colonel
under cover of clearing on the noun
tain side and he escaped.-Helena Asde-

Early next year Baltimore will celebrate
the completion ofits water supply tunnel.
The tunnel is seven miles in length. and
about twelve feet in diameter. Upon
the day of inspection the water will be
turned on gradually at the upper end of
the tunnel and flow through until about
four feet deep Mt the lower end. Several
long boats will then be launched into
the mouth Of the tunnel at the Lake
Montebello end, in which the party will
make the trip through the tunnel Of
water. They will be propelled by pad
dies or short oars. By the time the party
has made half the distance, the lower
end of the tunnel will be completely
filled by the water, which will be slowly
turned on at the upper end during the
trip Headlights will be placed on the
boats, and ut the arches, which will
have been erected where the fifteen
shafts new are, brilliant lights will be
displayed, and large numbers will des-
ignate each shaft. Every arrangement
will be made to prevent accidents, as the
drowning of the party. which, of course.
will include the city fathers, would be
an inauspicious opening Of the great
water works. The trip up the suhter-
ranean river will occupy several hours,
and will be the first one of the kind ever
made.

Forty-seventh regiment on board. there suddenly
rang out on the night air the thrilling cry, "Afan

Sept. 1911


It is not clear what is to be the outcome Of the
ugly mess into which Boss Tilden and Boss Kelly
have dragged the democracy Of the State Of New
York. AS to that the political prophets differ very
widely. At first the republicans were very jubilant
the bolt. while the democrats Of the whole
country looked in blank despair as they thought
Of tho consequences Of the wretched squabble But
reflection seems to have sobered the exultation Of
the republicans. who now admit that the triumph
of Cornell is anything but foregone conclusion
while the democrats taking consolation from the
assurance that the detection Of Tammany. Which
threatens the loss Of their stronghold. the city Of
New York. will certainly strengthen them vastly in
the rest of the State. Thus according to the indus
trious and noisy Of politicians who to sink
or swim with the fortunes of Tiden, the State of
New York will be saved after ALL and New York with
the solid South aud few stray electoral votes which
may be picked up elsewhere, will bridge the chasm
which separates Gramercy Park from the White
House,


How far the calculation will hold good in respect
to New York we do not know. Mr.. TiIden certainly
where the size of that barrel, about which we have
heard so much, may go far to offset tho consplcu-
his cause But Mr. Tiiden makes a great mistake
IL he counts upon anything like solid South to
place him in the White House in 1880. Even should
he succeed in capturing the next National Demo
cratic Convention as efectunily he did the last
one. he never again win the popular support
which the South gave him in 1876. He Is the only
democratic candidate who could be placed in the
field for whom the South would not be substantially
"solid" The Southern democracy not to be
manipulated by tho methods which Mr..
Tilden's sole reliance for success. certain
enthusiasm, with them, is the indispensable pre-
requisite to victory. That enthusiasm felt for
Mr.. Tilden in 1876. 1t hard work. it true. to
create it; but its existence at the last genuine.
1t may not be his fault, but Mr. Tildeh never,
under any circumstances. excite the same enthusi-
asm again. And without 1t the number OF Southern
States that will be missing from the democratic
column when tho votes counted is much lsrger
than the clever gentlemen who do the figuring for
Mr.. Tilden suppose. 1t is just well for friends
at the North to look the facts in the face. The bulk
of the southern democrats would. of course. vote
for body who might be placed at the head of the
national party ticket in $780, even IL it were Ben
Butler himself. spoons and all. But there is demo-
cratic element at the South that again be
brought to the polls in support of Mr.. Tden. Right
wrong. 1t is much too large to be despised. The
South cannot be "sod" without 1t. Mr.. Tilden will
have to arrange to get great many more electoral
votes at the North than those of New York and New
Jersey If he expects to be elected o second time
President Of these United States.

An earnest Temperance worker

bers."


Such is legitimate lodge work.
The lodge itself is simply a training
school of Temperance, and stands
in much the same relation to straight
Temperance work that the drilI-room
does TO the effective work OF an
army. Many lodges are slow to
learn this, and often wonder how II
is that an institution of such interest
in its commencement should have 50
lost its hold ON the community. And
vet cpine, if there was nothing
more to an army than its drill-room
parade, the drilfroom would gather
around it very little OF interest.


Every community has its own com
nonsense jury room. And that as
sociation which does not make good
its pretenses, is sooner or later con-
demned to neglectand forgetfulness,
We promise much, no more than we
are able to perform, but far more
than we can ever accomplish inside
the lodge room.


IL is a mistaken idea that in order
TO make public meeting effective
we must have foreign speaker.
The effectiveness of the meeting de
pends not SO much on the speaker, as
it does OF its management, and the
practical nature OF the subject dis
cussed. And there is not lodge in
the STATE but that has talent suffi-
cient in its own membership, if right
ly directed, TO hold series of pub
lie meetings, which shall both add to
its own strength, and greatly quicken
the temperance sentiment Of the
town in which itis located. More
than this, at least half our lodges are
to-day suffering from the want oil
just this kind of exercise.


This country, perhaps more than
any other, is land OF puolic meet
ings, and those meetings mould and
formulate that public opinion, which
we seek to control, which we must
have before abstinence and prohibi.

Our FRIEND William Bright has come


to the assistance of the "Gazetts" in


its advocacy Of low rate of taxation


which must eventually create another
floating debt. We have no doubt what.
ever that Mr.. Bright is sincere in what


he says and really does think tina: a
tax rate OF &l.15 will be sufli cisnt to
run the city for the present year and
that rate of sl.00 will run it next
year, but We think little reflection will
show that il a rate Of $l.l5 must ipev-
itably leave a floating debt at the end
of the year Of 1900, a rate Of $l.O0
next year would increase that debt to
s42, 900. We all gladly join Mr. Bright
in the wish and hope that the city can
be run on the rates named, aud We
with him are opposed to the creation OF
another floating debt unless absolutely
necessary, but by examining the appro-
priations made it wi become very evi
dent to that gentleman that a floating
1ebt cannot bs avoided at the present
reduced rates. However tins will SLOW

the bloody chasm made by the war had


been sif-ctually bridgel over, but all
their hopes have been blasted aud they
have bsen grievously disappointed in
their expectations by tn. Southern
leaders 10 Congress, and now these same
Republicans object to allowing the
South to direct the policy of the Gener-
al Government, the first step toward
which is the overthrow of principles
and established legislation that have
cost them SO much and are held 80 dear.
They realize that the fortunes of war
gave them advantages which have re-
suited in growth Of population, wealth
and every element of strength to which
the south offers oportionately no COM
parison, and they feel consequently
that they have the right to lead in the
affairs of the General Government and
since the South leads the Democratic
party, the only escape from Southern
domination is through the success of
the Republican party. This domina
tion Of the southern leaders in Congress
is leading the Republicans in search of
a strong, positive man for President,
and such man they find in General
Grant. They feel that with him in the
Presidential chair they can go to bed
trusting that they will wake up in the
and find the material and po.
litical interests of the country safe.-
The Republicans do not mingle adnla
ton with their praise of General Grant
for they are fully aware that he has
faults and that he has made mistakes,
but they believe hin to be honest and
capable, aud above all to be firm, and
IN addition to all other good qualities
they believe that with his enlarged ex-
perience and new and better surround
lngs, he can serve them much better
than he ever did before. These are
reasons which without doubt are put
ling General Grant far ahead in the
Presidential race for the nomination by
.he Republicans, and if nominated lie
will be elected by the vote of solid
