Wells. The Wifeless Husband in the Lonely City. Baltimore Surt. Pity the poor husband left wifeless in the town! While she is basking in the warm sunshine on the beach or en joying the sweet delights of rusticity on the farm, he is left alone in the crowded city, working his life out from four to six hours a day to pay for the luxury of his unthinking and ex- nensive family. In the city in the sum mer time there is nothing in the world to amuse a man except baseball games, roof gardens, parks, sails, highballs, vaudeville shows, cafes swept by elec tric-fan breezes, blonde and brunette maidens, banks, poker parties, orches tras, beer, picnics, “joyrides” and mint juleps. Not another thing. Out side of these all is work. The business man comes down to his stokehole of an office resolved to con quer or die. He attacks the work with desperate determination. From 9:45 to 10 :15 he works with feverish haste. Then the terrific pace begins to tell on him, and he falters. To renew his wasted energy he goes out at 10:30 to get a glass of beer which ha's been pre scribed by his doctor whenever he feels an attack coming on. At noon he re-j turns to get to work again. By this time he has dictated seventeen letters; to the stenographer, has told the peo-j pie by telephone that he cannot possi bly see them to-day, and he feels that j it is time to pass from labor to refresh- j ment. The pretty stenographer, with the little curl on her neck, also being overworked, he decides to rescue her and save himself by taking her to some cooler spot. So they search until they] find the coolest spot in the dining-room \ oasis, and after a few moments they ! feel strong enough to take a few mor-! sels of food. By the time they have had a bite, they find that it is 2 o’clock and rush back to work. By 2 :30 they are again at the office grinding away. They work wildly until 3 :30, when it is time to get ready for the ball game. There he is held in close confinement with other perspiring prisoners until (!, when it is high time for dinner. This meal—which the married man usually consumes in the bosom of his family to the sweet music of the children tell ing what terrible things have happened during the day; ‘‘and the grocer brought the bill and Mamie must have new shoes and Johnnie cut his finger; for heaven’s sake, stop crying, baby” —he is now compelled to eat at a hotel or cafe with none of his own family to love and caress. As he sits there con suming only fried chicken, broiled perch, crab flakes a la Neuberg, fruit salads, auricot ices, and ten or twelve other little morsels, tears come into his eyes as his memory brings back the meals of cold ham and burnt steak, the dear old soggy potatoes, he used to get in the home nest. After dinner, nowhere to go except to the vaudeville or the park or down the bay or to the country club or on a a ‘‘Joy ride” in an automobile. It takes a strong character to bear such loneli ness. Under such circumstances a man is likely to get desperate. It is these neglected husbands who give the poker parties that shock our fair land. It is these husbands — deserted by the wife who is enjoying all the luxuries of the country—who dive headforemost into the mint julep and have to be rescued and hauled home. How can a woman who loves her hus band leave him to pine away in the de serted city while she spends his hard earnings in the riotous gayety of a summer hotel? It must rest upon her conscience. Meanwhile the hard- worked, long-suffering husband bears up as best he may He conceals his sorrows in his own bosom, drowns his troubles at the nearest corner, and, sore as his heart may be, greets the world with a smile upon his face. Hcttty’s uncle, who was a school teacher, met her on the street one beau tiful May day and asked her if she was going out with the Maying party. “No, I ain’t going.” “Oh. my little dear,” said her un cle, “you must not say ‘I ain’t going.’ You must ray, ‘I am not going,’ ” and he proceeded to give her a little lesson in grammar. ‘‘You are not going. He is not going. We are not going. You are not going. They are not going. Now, can you say all that, Hetty?” ‘‘Sure l can,” she replied, making a curtesy. ‘‘There ain’t nobody going.” None is so humble that his approval is despised by a great artist. Where the Responsibility Rests. Romo Tribune-Herald. Much is being said in the public prints just at present concerning con ditions at the State Insane Asylum. An investigating committee has made a sort of "half and half” report, dealing largely in generalities, and in a meas ure acquitting the management of charges made by former inmates, but making very grave allegations. As a result of the report a legisla tive committee has been appointed to make a further investigation. It is to be hoped that this will he done in a thorough manner, and will result in something definite and tangible upon which action may be taken intelligent ly. Meantime. The Tribune-Herald would suggest that Georgians do not give too ready credence to the reports of cruel treatment and bad conditions at that institution. Heretofore the State In sane Asylum has been regarded as a model of its kind. Its very magnitude is difficult to comprehend. There are 3,000 patients there. In a city of 3,000 inhabitants, all of them sane, if could not bo expected that there would be u total absence of disorder, of trouble, even of injustice and abuse. How much more complicated, then, is the problem when dealing with 3,000 peo ple from all of whom the light of rea son has fled! There are all classes, from the violent maniac to Ihe invalid epileptic and the harmless idiot. The whole trouble seems to be that, like many other of Georgia’s institu tions, the asylum is compelled to hob ble along on an insufficient stipend. We are informed that time after time the trustees have sought for a $10,000 appropriation, that they might build separate structures for the treatment of tubercular patients. It is little short of marvelous that conditions are not worse, when 34 cents a day must feud, clothe and lodge the patients If more money were appropriated a better class of people could he secured as attend ants, and the patients would he better treated. The task of handling insane people is not a pleasant one, arid wu wonder that anyone would accept it at the salaries paid. Clearly, then, an increased appropri ation would better, if it would not rem edy, the situation. The Georgia School for the Deaf, in our own county, is handicapned by lack of funds. The same poverty hampers the Academy for the Blind. And yet, despite all these facts, our legislators insist on spending the State’s time and money for annual ses sions, where days and dollars are wasted in trifling talk. The fees and salaries of State House officials are increased every year. Fat sine cures are created for political favor ites, "special atorneyships” make for tunes for mediocre lawyers, new of fices are created annually, and salary grabs for which the Appellate Court Justices lobby shamelessly, are at tempted. All this while tho Confeder ate veterans wait for their money, the school teahers go unpaid, and tho in sane, the ileaf and blind are neglected. Georgia needs economy in some places, and generosity in others. The real blame for conditions rests else where than on the immediate heads of these institutions. Will the legislative committee have the courage to tell the truth, and apply the remedy? Boys on the Streets. .Small boys not vet in their teens are frequently seen about our streets after dark, and sometimes until late at night. They dart about the corners and dark places, conscious of the fact that they should not he seen, and that mis chief, perhaps not the innocent kind, is pleasing and tempting them. The fol lowing on this subject is from an ex change : Parents, keep your boys off the street, especially after dark. You know not what an annoyance these little fel lows are; besides, they learn all kinds of meanness, picking up all the slang phrases uitered by other boys who have forgotten the prayers taught them at their mother’s knee when they, too, were innocent little tots like your own bovs now. If you have a nice, beauti ful yard, allow your boys to play in them, never scolding them for their merry laughter, for ’tis better tar to be annoyed at home than to have them mixed up in an ugly afFair on the street of which vou know nothing until it has grown cold on everyone’s tongue. )f you value their education us you should, vou will keen your boys off the streets, where no evil associations will corrupt their morals.
