expect to thrive and prosper with
out the concentrated effort of its
citizens and the judicious expen-
diture of money. The towns in
our state today that are propser-
ous are the ones that have donat-
ed liberally to enterprises which
employs labor. Thus it is and
always will be that the liberal and
broad gauged town will thrive
while the tight fisted ones aTe
struggling for the necessaries of
life. It is within the power of
every town to increase her popu-
lation. With which class do you
desire it to be rated? Do you
wish it to go out to the world that
you lack the energy necessary to
protect your own interest? If
not get to work and do something
that will increase your own
wealth and make your neighbor
more contented.

In order to maintain domestic
tranquility and tickle the honest
soul of your little wife, the hus
band must endeavor to appreciate
her daily household efforts and
show it. When she has the house
clean and cosyjdoa't scatter cigar
ashes over library table, Mor-
ris chair and Carpet, don't fill the
up the spittoon with tobacco sla-
ver and cigar butts for her to
carry out and clean. She does
not appreciate such evidences of
thoughtfulness and might rebel
against such cond uct. When she
stands all day in the kitchen and
over the hot stove baking and
boiling to please you, do criticise
her if your muffins are a little
extra heavy and the beefsteak
not fried as you think. Don't
tell her every day about the good
pies your mother made or what
lovely meals you had down town.
It isn't polite or right. This re-
minds us of a tramp who came to
a certain door for a hand out.
The lady of the house watching
how the hungry tramp relished
the cako and pie said, "You seem
to enjoy my b iking and it never
suits my husband.'* The tramp
replied, "Well, why don't you get
a divorce and marry me." The
constant grumbling of some hus-
bands is enough to drive the wife
to the bug-house or divorce court.
