Why is it that matrimony is such a game of “misfits?” Is it because of the universal law of like seeking unlike? I dropped in a few days ago for a chat with my old friend, Mrs. Adams. Mrs. Adams’ house always looks like it is on dress parade. There is never a speck of dust, and all her belongings seem to have the knack of a place for everything and everything in its place. Her children, too, neveu seem to take to mud pies, for they are always im maculate. Well, perhaps they do look like little mannikins and don’t seem to be children at all, but anyhow they lcok like they live in “Spotless Town.” Mrs. Adams always seems like one of the women that has never heard of nerves, so I certainly was surprised when I found her on the verge of tears. A modern writer puts it, “all women are some part of the human anatomy.” Some are hands, some are head, some are feet, some are backs. Well, this time, I was “shoulder.” and Mrs. Adams was ready to. lean on me and weep for advice. Bemoaning her hus band’s neglect, she said: “I’m a true, faithful wife! I keep the house clean and the children are well cared for. Nobody ever sees them with one stocking up and the other down, or with holes poking out. Their clothes are always just so, and there are three wholesome, well-prepared meals a day. Still, John is not satisfied. It’s no use! Husbands are brutes !” Now. there’s that little Mrs. Roberts across the street. Her children roam the neighborhood from morning till night, and she never knows what is coming on the table. Still, she reads all the latest novels and finds time to practice, and half the men on the block think she’s perfect as a wife. Mr. Roberts, though, doesn’t ap preciate her, for he is one of the men always harping on “how mother used to cook.” He would rather have a few hot biscuits occasionally and less music and literature. Hot rolls and luttons on his shirts are more to his taste than the “Moon light So: ata.” Poor Mrs. Adams ! If you look around among your friends you won’t need a searchlight to show you that “matr: mony is misfits.” A man, big-hearted, demonstrative and affectionate, marries a woman who regards a kiss as do the Connecticut blue laws. If he is easygoing and fond of his men friends, she can’t stand the smell of tobacco smoke around the house. He is afraid to have any stag parties at home, so he seeks his crowd else where. After he drifts away she wonders | why her immaculate housekeeping can’t make him stay at home. There is another kind of man who asks nothing better than his pipe, his slippers, his dressing gown and some thing to read. His wife resents the idea of his lit erary devotion, so she begins to nag because he won’t* talk to her. She harps on all her daily trials—the ser vants, the children, the high price of living, the new gown hsr neighbor out- dresses her with. When this man takes to going to the club where he can read in peace and quiet, his wife is the first one to grow indignant and resentful. Thus it goes. The man fond of so- ] ciety marries the woman with no other thought than her home and habits. The tired, hard-working physician comes home nightly seeking rest and find his wife decked out to alt 2nd some glittering function. The man fond of musical comedies and farces is tied to a woman who thinks all such shows are vulgar, and who prefers French opera and Ibsen problem plays. The man fond of card-playing gets a wife with Puritan propensities. And the woman who dotes on bridge marries the student. Every one of these “misfits” thinks how different things would be if only he or she had selected a different part ner. It is the same all over the world. Even where ore has selected a life pro fession he always thinks he would have made more of a success at something. But who knows but what old Nature is wisest in the end? This great principle of like selecting unlike may be what keeps the world together. Just as in electricity, where positive and negative currents are the great forces of attraction, while like currents act as repellants. The Cost of Living. Washington Post. Prof. Joseph Francis Johnson of the University of New York presents this nut for oi|r doctors of political and so cial economy to crack: “It took $3,- 623 last year to pay for necessaries of living that could be bought for $2,500 in 1897. Sixty-nine cents ten years ago had the buying power of $1 of to day.” And the thing is growing more threat ening and more onerous for the family with a moderate fixed income every day. Indeed, unless some relief is had the cost of living by 1911 will become double what it was in 1897. There was a disastrous financial panic in 1907 that shrunk every estate between the two oceans and threw thousands and tens of thousands out of employment; but it brought to none cheaper shelter. Your corner grocer will charge 35 cents for a shot rabbit. The man is scarcely 50, who, as a boy, sold a dozen trapped rabibts for 50 cents, and made money and strengthened health in the business. Two-score years ago a dozen fine, fat and thrifty pullets could be had for $2. To-day one such bird will cost you 75 cents. Many things worked together to make our country great, puissant and opulent—Government founded on liber ty : a hardy, daring and adventurous people; empires of virgin, fertile and cheap lands; a salubrious climate; in exhaustible stores of cheap raw mate rials; labor-saving contrivances of the first inventive genius on earth, and so on, and so on. But not the least of the agencies operating to create the America on the threshold of the twen tieth Century was cheap living, espe cially cheap food. That made New York and Chicago the world wonders they are. But there is no longer cheap food fir the suburban population. It. is a demonstrated fact that the English workingman eats a cheaper breakfast than his fellow in America, and his ta ble is supplied just as bountifully, if not more so. Here is how it is: Nothing on the Englishman's breakfast table is faxed except coffee, tea, sugar and perhaps pepper. Everyhing on the American’s breakfast table is taxed, except cofree, tea and pepper. It is a fact that your housewife will supply twenty persons with coffee for what a steak for one person will cost, but when it is pro posed to put a tax on coffee to get a sorely needed revenue there is horror in the land and the exclamation: “What! Tax the workingman’s breakfast!” The fact is that the tax now levied on beef alone amounts to more at a sin gle breakfast than the workingman would pay in a week on coffee, if the proposed duty were imposed on it. And the tax on beef is for a trust, the most oppiessive of all the octopuses. Our doctors of political economy must bestir themselves if they would not have cheap food the paramount issue in 1910 and 1912. Everybody knows how such an election would go. NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE. Newnan People Should Learn to De tect the Approach of Kid ney Disease. The symptoms of kidney trouble are so unmistakable that they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex crete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding. The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur, and the vic tim is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neglect these warnings and there is danger of dropsy, Bright’s disease, or diabetes. Anyone of these symptoms is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. Delay often proves fatal. You can use no better remedy than Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here’s Newnan proof: F. W. Brown, machinist, 18 Thomp son street, ewnan, Ga., says: “Some months ago I was troubled a great deal by pains in the small of my back. Pro curing a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Lee Bros.’ drug store, I used them ac cording to directions and was relieved in a few days. I have been in good health since.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole ageqts for the United States. Remember the name—Doan’s—and take no other. During a recent spell of bad weather when the water supply was unusually muddv, a young woman of Philadelphia asked Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, the fa mous author and physician, how she could best safeguard herself in drink ing the local beverage. "First boil it.” Dr. Mitchell an swered. “Then filter it and afterwards —drink ginger ale.” Father and Son Chums. Philntlolphm Public Ledger. The best friend a boy can have is his own father. Many years ago a boy thought of his father as a figure of Mosaic or at least of Aaronic authori ty, and the father encouraged the son’s notion of the paternal character. It never occurred to either that affection ate and intimate comradeship was pos sible. The father did not condescend to any interest in the son’s diversions; the son never thought of asking his father to join him in his sports. In his letters the son subscribed himelf as “dutiful” or “obedient,” rarely as “loving” or “affectionate.” It was not that the boy was not fond of his fath er; it was because it was not the cus tom in that day to be demonstrative in the paternal and filial relationship. Nowadays it is different. While there is perhaps less sense of a com munity of interest in business, owing to the fact that the son frequently fol lows a different vocation, there are more points of intimate social and per sonal contact between father and son than there used to be. The boy is no longer overawed and overwhelmed by the man; the man no longer considers it a condescension on his part to take an interest in the things that interest his son. Has familiarity bred disre spect? Does the boy think less of his father because the latter is more like an elder brother than a parent? Un doubtedly there are cases of a lack of proper respect, because the father is no longer the awful and forbidding fig ure he used to be. But on the whole the son’s respect for his father is in creased rather than lessened when he finds that “the old man” is still suffi ciently young at heart to enter with zest into the employments and enjoy ments of a boy. There is no pleasanter sight than to see a father on good terms, as a friend and playmate, with his children. It is not quite so easy for him to “become as a little child again,-” for his mo ments in the nursery, because of his business preoccupations, are fleeting and occasional. Some men rarely cross the threshold of it, and only see their children when they have on their good clothes and their company manners. A man cannot understand his children un less he becomes to some extent their playmate, and completely their confi dant. He will always be a good deal of an “Olympian” as it is, for it is hard for the grown man to get and keep the child’s point of view. He must be very humble and willing to learn, and he must never ridicule or frighten a child, or fail to keep his promise to a child. For these three things a child finds un forgivable. The man who has grown up along side of his own children will not have much difficulty in controlling his sons as they grow older. It is the father who has never been the best friend of his boy who has all kinds of trouble as the son approaches or attains his major ity. The son feels that his father has never taken the trouble to understand him.' He has not thought it worth while to concern himself in the son’s problems. Consequently when the son has become a man and has put away childish things, father and son find themselves totally estranged and ouL of sympathy, when there might have been cordial community of interest. A Calculating Bride. Richmond Pearson Hobson, Represen tative from Alabama, young, smooth faced and bald as an onion, is one of the new members pointed out to the visitors by the House guides. His con freres were discussing Hobson the other evening, and one raised the ques tion whether he had treated his fame fairly in leaving the navy, where his reputation was established, and taking up a political career. “That reminds me of what a young woman once said to me,” remarked Representative Butler Arnes, who was one of the party. “She had married a naval officer, and I asked her why she did that, as naval officers are away from home so much. “ ‘Well,’ said she, ‘I figured up the thing pretty carefully and 1 concluded that if my husband didn’t turn nut to | be my affinity he would be away half the time, and if he did he would be home half the time. What more could one ask?’ ” How Do You Feel? Do vou experience a sense of weari ness in excess of the natural tiredness justified by your labor? Do you lack natural ambition, and have spells of despondency, with dark forebodings of the future? Do you worrv about really unimportant matters, and feel cross and fretful at times? St. Joseph’s Liv er Regulator is what you need, either liquid or powders, as you prefer. It will better your condition. The liquid sells at 50 cents a bottle, powders at 25 cents a box, by druggists and general merchants. If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher’s stone. Eddie Foy and the Flatiron. Of Eddie Foy, the comedian, it is everywhere being said that he will play Hamlet next season. Interrogated on this interesting mat ter, Mr. Foy said in a restaurant: “Foy as Hamlet, eh? Well, I think I’d handle Hamlet about the way the servant girl handled the flatiron. Lis ten to the story, and remember that I am cast for the girl, while Hamlet is the iron: "On a bitter night of late December a kind mistress said to her servant girl: “ 'Jenny, it’s a frightful night. It presages a white Christmas. And there’s no fire in your room. I think, child, you’d better take a flatiron to bed with you.’ “ ‘Do ye think so, ma’am?’ says Jenny, doubtfully. “ ‘Yes, I do’, says the mistress, very kind and firm. ‘I insist on it. Don’t forget.’ “ ‘Very well, ma’am,’ says Jenny, in a sullen voice. “The next morning the cold was terrible. The landscape was ironbound with frost. “ ‘Well, Jenny,’ said the mistress, ‘did you take that flatiron to bed with you, as I ordered?’ “ ‘Yes, ma’am,’ Jenny answered. “ ‘And how did you make out with it?’ “ ‘Oh, so-so!’ 3aid Jenny, ‘I think I got it almost warm before morning.” ” A large and robust Irishwoman ap peared in a New York court recently to prosecute a case in which her husband was charged with having beaten her. The defendant was a small, stoop-shoul dered man, and had the appearance of having been run through a thresh ing-machine, and seemed scarcely able to stand. The Judge surveyed the two with an amused light in his eyes. “You say this man beat you?” he asked the woman. “He did not,” the prosecuting wit ness said with emphasis, folding her powerful arms. “He knocked me down.” “You mean to tell me you were knocked down by that physical wreck?” the Judge queried. "’Tis only since he struck me that he’s been a physical wreck, your hon or,” she explained. A young Englishman, after he had been in Devil’s Valley for a couple of months, began to grow thin. Wyom ing cooking did not appeal to him. Besides his squeamish appetite, there was another thing that the natives held against him—his outlandish custom of taking a bath every morning. One day his landlady was discussing him with a friend. “I tell ye what. Sal,” said the visi tor. “he’s jest a-wastin’ away a griev- in’ for some gal back East thar. ” “Nothin’ o’ the kind,” said the land lady, contemptuously. “You mark my words, now that young feller he’ jest a-washin’ hisself away.” God helps those who help themselves.
