OH, FOR A DAY!
WILFRID BCAWKH BU NT.
Oil, for n day of spring,
A day of flowers and folly.
Of liirds 11,at pipe mid sing
And boyhood's melancholy.
I would not grudge the laughter,
The tenrn Hint followed after.
Oh, for a day of youth,
A day of strength nnd passion ;
Of words that told the truth,
And deeds that truth would fashion'
I would not leave untasted
One glory while it lasted.
Oh, for a dav of days,
A dny witli you and pleasure;
Of love in all its ways,
And life in all its mensuroI
Win ms that day from sorrow,
And let me die to-morrow.
TO AVOID DIVORCE COURT.
Thu greatest danger that monneea
taniily life is its too great familiarity.
It’n pretty hard, of courae, to continue
to worship a rnnn ns a hero of romance
after you tlnd out that ho eats onions
nnd snores. By the samo token it
must he a strain on the masculine im
agination to see an angel in the wo
man who cornea down to breakfast in
slouchy wruppors and curl papers. It
is when these homely details of ex
istence clash that love’s young dream
gels its lirst jar, and Cupid so often
nhuls up shop and quits husineRB.
Perhaps the host remedy for this,
and the one thing that would do more
to promote conjugal felicity than any
thing else, would ho the introduction
of a littln more of formality and con
ventionality into dotnostic lifo, and
tho putting of loss faith in tho fallacy
that marringes give you carte blanche
to troat tho party of tho othor purl as
you please. Personally, I am con
vinced that politeness will do more
than tho strongest moral principles to
mako a happy home. You can’t be
courtoous and quarrelsome or consid
erate nnd nasty at the samo time, and
if wo put more stress on tho efllcacy
of good manners nnd less on tho po
tency of undying affection, lower poo-
plo would laud in tho divorce court.
We don't do tills. Wo give our best
—our bust manners, our best conver
sation, our best clothes, our host lood
—to strangers—while to our own—to
the people wo would suffer for, and
die for—wo show a lack of considera
tion that is not even common decen
cy. There isn’t a person living so dull
that he cannot pick out a husband and
wife in any crowd. Wo know them
by the way in which they straggle
along on I ho stroot, the heavy, dull
flllence that reigns between them, by
their listless and bored expression, by
the way in which they blame eneh
other for every control cm pH, by tho
very fact that they are treating each
other as they would not dare to troat
any other human being.
This is not what they married for.
if, when they were lovers, they could
have looked into the future and seen
themselves disillusioned, bored, two
people who had gotten on each other’s
nerves and got nothing but friction
out of life, they would have dolled
matrimony us they would the leprosy.
It is a common tragedy, hut one I
never see without wondering if it
could lie avoided, if the wile would
only treat her husband llko she would
some other man whom she desired to
please. Every woman knows what
that means, because every woman lias
her little repertoire of stunts—nirs
and graces and fascinations—that she
goes through for the benefit of the
person on whom she desires to make
a good impression.
Suppose, for instance, the man who
is coming to dinner to-night were not
your patient, tired John, who spends
his life toiling for you, but some other
man whom you liked and respected,
what would you do? You would see
that your table was well spread and
the little dishes he affected most were
specially prepared, and then you
would put on a pretty frock, and when
lie came give him a gracious welcome
that would make him feel that his
coming brought happiness and bright
ened tlie hour. No matter what littlo
vexations had tormented you through
the day, you would put them away.
You would not dream of worrying
him with all the details ot tlie cook’s |
failures and tho children's badness, i
and still less would you vent on him ,
the temper and crossness and spleen :
that you bad been accumulating on j
account of your dressmaker failing
you and the cat breaking your vase. !
On tho contrary, observing that ho
looked tired and worn, you would ex
ert yourself to entertain him. You
would 'ell him all the funny stories
you had heard, you would give him a
sketch of your latest club meeting
that would make him laugh, and you
would retail to him all the cheery
personal gossip you kuow of your in
timate friends.
Perhaps the man is fond of talkiug
of himself. You would ask him a deft
question or two to get him started on
his hobby, aud you would listen with
apparently rapt atteutiou while he
explained the situation in Manchuria,
or prophesied about whav the Demo
cratic party was going to do, and if he
told some stories, no matter if you
had heard them from your infancy up,
you would laugh at the right spot if
you had to take laughing gas to do it.
But how do you treat your own
husband? If you feel like dress
ing) you will do it, but not for him.
Oh, dear, no. Any old rag is good
enough for your husband. Also, any
sort of a dinner, and if he don’t like
what is set before him, be can lump
it, that’s all. Men—at least husbands
—think too much about eating, any
way. When he comes in you won’t
raise your head to more than grunt
out, “That you, John? Be sure to
latch the door, you’ll let the cat out.’’
Then you commence the jeremiad of
the day about how the coal is out, and
the cook says she’s got to have more
wages, and the baby bumped its head,
and tlie meat didn’t come, and the
plumbing is out of order, and Hallie’s
got to have new shoes, and Bobby iB
threatened with tho measles, and Tom
is so bad he needs a whipping, and
goodness knows what inakeH a woman
got married, anyway!
And if poor John survives this del
uge of woes, and heroically tries to
tell a story, you break right in to the
host part of it with some perfectly ir
relevant romark that shows you
haven’t listened to a word of it. And
poor John, thinking of the charming
wny you troat perfect strangers, must
wish with ull his heart nnd soul that
he was a casual guest instead of a fix
ture in your house.
Worse than all, and the rock on
which tho mnlrimouial ship is often-
est wrocked, is the fatal mistuke wo
men make in supposing that marriage
gives people a right to Bpoak the truth
to each other. No woman is dull
onough to fall into that error in regard
to other men. No daughter of Eve
was ever so stupid as to even dream
of pointing out his faults to a stran
ger. Imagine a woman telling Mr.
Brown to his face that bis taste is
atrocious, or Mr. Smith that bis long-
winded stories are a bore, or Mr. Jones
that he is a pretentious prig, or Mr.
Gray that his vanity makes him a
laughing-stock. Why, n jury of her
peers would convict such n woman of
insanity on the Bpot, but plenty of
women have the nerve to say such
things to their husbands, and then
wonder that love pans out. If wo
men would only use half the compli
ments in holding a husband that thoy
use in getting him we should hoar
very little of her recreant spotiBos.
Cholera Infantum.
This has long been regarded as ono
of f ile most, (langemtitl and fatal dis
eases to which infants are subject. It
can be cured, however, when properly
treated. All that is nt'eossry is to give
Chttmberliiiii’s flolic, Cholera and
I hurrher i Itemedy and castor oil, as di
rected with bottle, and a cure is sure
to follow. For sale by Bradley A Wes

The Woes of Sweet Alice.
Chicago Record.
“Alice is so worried," said her
mother, “that you will have to ex-
cuso her if she seems to be a little out
of sorts this evening.”
“What’s the trouble?" asked tlie
young lady’s Uncle Abner, who had
come in from tho country on u little
visit.
“She has had such a distressing time
of it with her maids lately. You see,
the one she had after she came borne
from college went and got murried
about three months ago, and since
then the poor child has really had to
wait on herself most of the time. We
found a young woman who came here
from Washington with excellent rec
ommendations, nnd for a little while
Alice was very happy. She thought
she had found a jewel. Annie could
button her shoes so lovely, aud it
seemed to be actually a pleasure for
her to be dressed by tho now maid,
but one dny a dreadful thing hap
pened. Alice caught her using her
seal on a letter she had written, both
happening to hnvo the same initials.
“Tho next maid Alice got stole one
of her diamonds, nnd that, of course,
was very unpleasant. Then she got
one who always managed to upset
something when she took the poor
child’s breakfast upstairs to her, aud
Alice couldn’t get used to it. The
maid she has now eeems to mean well,
but she is very inexperienced aud of
ten forgets to say ‘Miss' when she an
swers questions. It grates on Alice’s
nerves, and I don’t know what we
shall do unless there is a change for
the better soon ’’
“It’s too blamed bad,” said Undo
Abner. “I s’spose she’s bothered al
most as much us you used to be when
the cows wouldn’t keep from switebiu’
at the llies while you set there milkin’ !
'em, eh?"
Yet some people wonder why tlie
rich should dread their country rela- |

The Foundation of Health.
Nourishment is the foundation of
health, life, strength. Kodol Dyspep
sia Cure is one of the great mediciues
that enables the stomach and digestive
organs to digest, assimilate and trans
form all foods into the kind of blood
that nourishes the nerves and feeds the
tissues. Kodol lays the foundation for
health. Nature does the rest. Indi
gestion. dyspepsia, and all disorders of
the stomach aud digestive organs are
cured by the use of Kodol. Bradley A

Believe in Yourself.
Woman's Home Companion.
Believe in yourself. That iB the
way to make other people believe in
you, and it is the way to become what
you want to be. It is the people who
have believed thoroughly in them
selves and their mission who have
made the world believe in them.
It is interesting in this connection
to recall the observation of a certain
psychologist who was experimenting
with a chicken, and bow it was trained
to bravery points a lesson to the diffi^
dent. The chick was so timid that he
ran from the least intrusion. If anoth
er chick picked at him, be ran. If he
was jostled by his brother in a scram
ble for food, he withdrew from the
scramble out of pure fear. But the
psychologist set about teaching him
to believe in himsilf. By enticing the
other chickens with food he made
them run in an opposite direction
from the timid chicken. Prts-
ently the chick began to run after
them ; and as they ran away when he
chased them, he believed that they
wore afraid of him, nnd courage
flamed in his breast. Little by little
lie got brave, and he chased harder.
He was so set up that he began to at
tack the others in front as well as in
the reur. He wub so used to having
them run from him that he had for
gotten what it was to be afraid. He
becamo a fighter, and in the end the
others ran from him in earnest. He
was just the same chicken, so far as his
physical powers were concerned—
that is, the same in relation to the
other chicks.
Only one thing had changod ;—now
he believed in himsolf, and the hen-
yard was his oyster.
Human beings are not very differ
ent from chickens. If you are afraid
of the world, the world will misuse
you, If you march valiantly forward,
it will retreat before you. If you take
the word “fail” out of your bright
lexicon, you do not fail. It all lies in
what you believe you can do. Believe,
then, in yourself. Never fear failure
or hesitate to do a thing because you
think you would not succeed. Just
gird yourself up, and go after what
you want, nnd in nine cases out of
ten you will get it.
Valuable Time Saved.
Slight injuries often disable a man
nnd cause several days’ loss of time,
and when blood poison develops, some
times rosull in the loss of u bund or a
limb. Chamberlain’s I’ain Balm is an
antiseptic liniment. When applied to
cuts, bruises and burns it causes them
to heal quickly and without matura
tion. and prevents any danger of blood
poison. Bradley A; Wester.

llopsack is one of the most fashion
able of dress goods, and a beautiful
protnenude costume is made of this
material iu a champagne color. The
Bussinn blouse effect is well portrayed.
The inutton-leg sloeves are inset with
a handsome nppiiqne work of broad
cloth, as is also tbo skirt. Cord orna
ments also belp to add style and finish,
aud appear on both skirt and jacket.
All of the stitching is done with Cor-
ticelli stitching silk, which lends itself
so well to this class of work. Notice
the several rows at the bottom of the
skirt, 4 and tbo fancy stitching on j
sleeves and blouse.
P. F. Cuttiuo & Co. are jobbing |
agents in Newnau for the Cortieelli

No False Claims.
Tho proprietors of Foley’s Honey and
Tar do not advertise this as a “sure
cure for consumption.” They do not
claim it will cure this dread complaint
in advanced cases, but do positively as
sert that it will cure in the earlier
stages and never fails to give comfort
and relief in tlie worst cases. Foley’s
Honey and Tar is without doubt the
greatest throat and lung remedy. Re

Not the Only Pebble.
A drummer of Jackson, Miss., re
cently received a letter which read
something like this:
“Dear Mr. : Would you’ be
kind enough to return my photo
graph? I gave it to you in a moment
of girlish folly, aud I have since had
occasion to regret that I was so
thoughtless in this matter. I am
about to become engaged, etc."
The poor girl pictured to herself
that the photograph was framed aud
hung up in his room, and was inclined
to think that he would part from it
only with deep regret. The answer
to her note came by express and read
as follows:
“Dear Miss : Enclosed find 41G
photos. Please pick yours out and
return the remaining 415, charges
collect. I regret that I am unable to
pick it out myself."
And yet this drummer is considered
“a good fellow.”
Two Bottles Cured Him.

plaint for about two years,” writes A.
