FORGOTTEN TROUBLE.
Do you know wlmt it was that caused you to fret,
Only a year ago?
Can you tell me the source of your inmost regret,
Only a year ago?
It looked big to you then and you moped and you
pined,
The long nights were sleepless and troubled your
mind,
Yet you can’t tell what happened in looking bo-
hind,
Only a year ago.
Do you know why you frowned us you journeyed
your, way,
Only a month ago 0
Can you tell now what made your blue skies look
gray,
Only a month ago?
What trouble was it that your happiness marred.
That caused you to say that your heart had grown
hard,
And from all future joys in this world you were
barred,
Only a month ago?
You’ve forgotten them all, both the great and the
small,
The pain and the woe;
For few art* the troubles we ever recall
As onward we go.
Ah, few are the troubles, my brother, that last;
They seem big at first, but the moment they’re
past
They slip from the mind, for they never stick fast.
It is well that it’s so.

How a Wife May Educate a Husband
New York American.
The Kiri who wants to make a sucess
of marriage must not neglect the edu
cation of the husband. Many husbands
are lamentable failures without realiz
ing the fact. They fail out of thought
lessness in 90 per cent, of cases, and
the wife is very much to blame for the
fact. In my own case, in the early
days of matrimony, I quite acknowl
edge, John was spoiled. Too much
adoration is not good for any man; too
much “running after’' would spoil the
most angelic husband in existence.
While man has a right to kindly atten
tions, while no wife ought to grudge
working hard to make her home pretty
and comfortable, it is never wise to
overdo things.
Husbands are a little apt to take the
wife’s hard work and trouble anti self-
sacrifice for granted. After the novelty
of having a devoted little wife to fuss
around them and attend to their com
forts every minute of the day has worn
off, the great majority of married men
fail in appreciation.
Now, appreciation is the breath of
life to the average woman. The girl
who gets a judicious amount of praise
and appreciation from the man she mar
ries will cheerfully work her fingers to
the bone for him. Married life means
hard work for the wife as well as the
husband; and if both are blessed with
the tact that will enable them to see
when the other requires sympathy and
appreciation it will go far to make
them “happy, though married.”
Particularly is it so of the woman.
Man is less sensitive, less highly
strung; he is the strongest vessel,
physically at least, and is not so likely
to be subjecc to “nerves.” That is
why sympathy and appreciation are
qualities inseparable from the “model
husband.” When a woman is tired and
irritable, or worried, the model hus
hand gives .that little word of encour
agement and appreciation which acts
like magic on a depressed mind and
tired body. Of course, a man can’t be
continually praising and admiring his
wife all day. Also, often the most re
served men, who find it difficult to ex
press their sympathy and appreciation,
really admire their wives tremend
ously. Put it is wonderful how a
husband’s bump of appreciation is cul
tivated by a clever woman.
She can tell him how much his praise
means to her, how she feels encour
aged and uplifted when she sees that
he appreciates her efforts which is
true enough.
The next point in managing a hus
band, girls, is to get him into punctual
ways. The ordinary bachelor is often
a sadly unpunctual person. He has
always suited himself as regards meals
and appointments generally, especially
if he has lived in lodgings or gone in
for club life.
Marriage necessarily changes all that.
No house can run smoothly on the
happy-go-lucky system of everybody
doing what he likes. When the young
wife has done her bo3t to have a tasty
hot dinner ready at a specified hour,
which has had to be kept waiting till it
spoils, she is naturally disappointed.
When this happens three or four times
a week, there are two courses she gen
erally takes. She either cries or gets
cross, and upbraids John in conse
quence.
Now, don’t do anything so foolish,
girls. Useless tears and tempers are
useless weapons in married life. It
took me two years to realize the fact,
and I must have wept barrels of tears
before I learned wisdom.
Man is a reasonable being; and if
you quietly and sensibly make him see
how much better it would be if both
are punctual in every detail, it will
have far more effect than tears.
Tell him that if you are to have a
fair chance to manage your house ca
pably you must be able to depend upon
him to keep to time. Of course, some
men’s business is irregular, and they
cannot help the fact. In such cases it
is the wife’s duty to arrange matters
to the best of her ability, and to accept
unpunctuality occasionally with philos
ophy and cheerfulness. Hut in the or
dinary household punctuality can easily
be insisted upon. Many wives allow
their husbands to drift into unpunctual
ways and to get slipshod themselves.
In such houses there is no method, no
order, and ultimately no comfort.
So begin the education of the hus
band early, but do it unostentatiously,
tactfully, No husband likes it to he
apparent that he is being “managed”
at all. And yet all clever women man
age their husbands. Do not forget that
sympathy is at the root of all husbands’
management. Don’t try to manage a
man by bullying or nagging
Don’t forget that when he is some
times obstinate and “difficult” a little
judicious coaxing will go further than
insisting on your rights.
Men like to he appealed to. Don’t
give them cause for grumbling. II a
girl takes care to make home happy
and comfortable, to cook nice meals
and serve them daintily, a man is far
less likely to grumble than under a
daily menu of singed bacon and salt
less potatoes. Above all, don’t he stir-
gy in kind words. It is wonderful how
husbands and children will improve un
der kindness, tempered with firmness.
Puts Crimp in Liquor Traffic.
Washington, Nov. 26.- Thirty States
are hit by the new United States crim
inal code which limits C. O. I). whis
key shipments. No more John Doe
trade after the last day of this year.
Jan. 1, 1910, there goes into effect the
new criminal code. It was passed upon
by Congress during a stolen moment
from the tariff consideration of the ex
tra session, and legislators who have
not before had time to read it are like
ly to have their attention called to its
provisions in a demand for an explana
tion which will make the Nicaraguan
crisis sound like a fairy tale. The pro
hibition people hope it will put a crimp
in the practice of shipping liquor C. O.
D. into prohibition States, and cut off
that last source of supply which had
been regarded as inviolable.
“No railroad company or carrier,”
says the code, “shall ship liquor into a
prohibition State to other than the
bona fide consignee. Violation of this
section is punishable by a fine of $5,-
000 and two years’ imprisonment, or
both.
Not content with this restriction of
the supply, the makers of the code
have set down that every package
which does not hear the name of the
person to whom it is shipped, the kind
of liquor it contains and the quantity,
upon the outside, it may be seized and
condemned.
Here is the climax which has made
the thirsty in the prohibition States
wonder if the code committee could
have been packed against them. It
says that it will be forbidden to collect
the purchase price of liquor shipped as
interstate commerce “either before, on
or after delivery.” If this latter pro
vision has not killed the C. O. D. pack
age, the framers of the code would like
to have another opportunity to further
amend it.
|?In the South, where the prohibition
wave {has submerged "several States
bordering upon others less afflicted in
this regard, the express business has
been enormous. In some cities it is
represented that quantities of packages
of liquor would be shipped to the agent,
and the man who wanted a quart for
Saturday night need not even exercise
the forethought which on Wednesday
foretells a Saturday thirst. With al
most the convenience of the wholesale
liquor depot he could upon ten minutes’
warning run over to the express office,
ask for a package for John Doe, pay
the C. O D. charges, and go on his way
rejoicing.
Church and School.
“When the late Aulri Harrison
Brown, rector of St. John’s chapel,
was a young man, he used to go to
Maine for the summer,” said a Trinity
trustee in New York. “Dr. Brown of
ten told of an unforgettable incident
connected with one of his first Maine
sermons.
“Two children had come to a church
alone, and the minister noticed them
from the start of his discourse. They
sat in a great, high-backed pew side by
side, very solemn.
“After awhile they got tired. Evi
dently they thought that church eti
quette was the same as
of the village school. They climbed
down from their pew and the hoy took
his tiny sister by the hand arid led her
up the aisle, stopping in front of the
preacher.
“ ‘Please, sir,’ he said, ‘may we go
home’/’
“ ‘Yes,’ paid Mr. Brown.
“And they turned arid soberly de
parted, hand in hand.”
Heavy Buyers.
Griffin Nows and Sun.
“ In our town these days we see faces
that are strangers to us, faces that are
not familiar in our town.
People from different parts of the
county, from other towns, and other lo
calities, some near, some far, drive in
toji nspect and ascertain personally the
worth and reliability of the pledges
that are made from time to time to the
public, by means of extensive advertis
ing, by poster notices, and in the local
papers.
Generally these strangers are heavy
buyers, and return homeward well sat-
isfied with the results of their long
trip.
This is the finest and highest recom
mendation that can be given to our
business men and should be the source
of their keenest pride and gratification.
1L proves that they have backed up
their promises, and redeemed their
pledges, and that they were able to,
as they hoped, meet the expectations
of those who responded to their invita
tions and took them at their word.
It proves further that these mes
sages to the public, in one form or an
other -newspaper “ads” and poster no
tices—are bringing them the hoped-for
results in the form of increased popu
larity, increased number of customers
and increased business.
If it were not no, why then those
many strange faces in our town these
days? Why then the rush of business
these days? Why then do people travel
so far, from distant localities, to do
business here?
Here and there, in localities, are still
to be found little miserly business men
who have not yet learned the great les
son of business progression but gener
ally they lean against deserted coun
ters and sooner or later go to the wall.
Business progression these days is
activity expansion. The business man
must speak to tne people or they will
not speak to him.
lie owes it to the people, and the
people are entitled to know what he
has to offer them ; if he will not keep
in touch with them, and keep them en
lightened regarding his business, they
will reciprocate his slight. They will
not keep in touch with him, and he does
not deserve it.
The new and just demand of the peo
ple to be recognized by the business
man, and to be informed from time to
time regarding his activities, consti
tutes the most desirable, the most le
gitimate kind of advertising.
It is directly in opposition to trick
and wild-cat. advertising, has the use
fulness and brawn of sincerity, and
finds stability in sound reason, in jus
tice, and in good business principle.
Wanted Further Orders.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
Senator Tillman was accusing a po
litical leader of overhearing, arbitrary
methods.
“He goes too far,” said the Senator.
"Hu is like the militia captain they
used to have in Concord.
“This man came to Concord with
war record, and got a captain’s ap
pointment in the militia.
“He was a martinet. The first day
he reviewed his company he examined
every hair on their heads, every button
on their caps. It was an ordeal for
them.
“On the whole the captain was
pleased with his inspection. One thing
dissatisfied him, though. His men all
had clean-shaven upper lips. Some hod
side whiskers, some had mutton chops,
some hud goatees, some had patriotic
chiri beards. There was not one who
had a mustache.
“The captain complimented his com
pany in a short speech, and concluded
by saving ;
“ ‘Only one thing is lacking to make
a crack, martial-looking company of
you—mustaches. I want every man
Jack of you to raise a mustache.’
“At this order the men looked at one
another, arid a young farmer, stepping
out from the ranks, saluted and said:
“ ‘What color will you have them,
sir?’ ”
The New Orleans Picayune calls at
tention to the somewhat curious fact
that the English-speaking nations own
nearly all the world’s productive gold
mines. Thus England, with its Cana
dian, Australian and South African
mines, is credited with fil per cent, and
the etiquette : the United States with 22 per cent.,
making an aggregate of S3 percent.,
while all the rest of the world gets the
remainder of 17 per cent. According to
the statistics for 1907 the amount of
gold mined in the whole world was 10,-
764.078 ounces, valued at nearly $4,2UU,-
000,000, of which $3,348,000,000 worth
was produced on soil held by two En
glish speaking nations. This is an
enormous source of power.
A Fine Thought.
J. G. Alden, of Aurora, Neb., wrote
for a local newspaper this fine thought:
“My 3-year-old son stood enraptured
watching the setting of the sun. It
was a glorious sunset. The great orb
hung low in the western sky, and all
the west was bathed in a flame of gold
en light.
“It was a sunset such as artists at
tempt to convey to their canvas. I was
busy with some trivial matter at hand
when a little voice interrupted me:
‘Papa, is that our sun?’ The lad’s face
was aglow with the pleasure of the
sight. 1 hesitated a moment and then
replied: ‘Yes, my son, that is our sun. ’
‘And no one can take it away from us?’
he rejoined. ‘No, son, no one can take
it away.’ He was satisfied and turned
to his play.
“But this question brought to my
mind a train of thought that would not
leave. How many of us go blindly
through life, groping our way among
the things of earth, straining oureyes
to pierce the darkness rather than to en
joy the light, and taking a meagre portion
of our share of the pleasures of life,
when it is ours to know and possess a
thousand blessings of Nature put here
for us by a loving Creator. Ours is the
golden sunset, but we do not see it.
“Ours is the sight of waving green
and the bloom of the flowers, hut we
heed them not. Our minds are full of
sordid things of life and business, so
crowded with daily cares that we miss
the glories of Nature and the blessed
inspiration which they bring.
“We need the voice of the child to
awaken us to an interest in the beau
ties of God’s wonderful creation, and
need to feel, as did the little lad, that
the beautiful sunset was made for our
enjoyment, and none can deny the sight
to us. ”
ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP?
It Has Been Proved that Microbes
Cause Baldness.
Professor IJnna of Hamburg, Ger
many, and Dr. Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist, discovered tliat
a microbe causes baldness. The theory
has time and again been amply verified
through research experiments carried
on under the observation of eminent
scientists. This microbe lodges in the
Sebur, which is the natural hair oil,
and when permitted to flourish it de
stroys the hair follicles and in time the
pores entirely close, and the scalp grad
ually takes on a shiny appearance.
When this happens there is no hope of
the growth of hair being revived.
Dandruff is u contagious disease,
which is largely duo to a destructive
microbe, which when left to pursue its
course causes itching scalp, falling hair
and baldness. Dandruff is caused by
the microbe affecting the glands which
produce the sebaceous matter, which
latter then unnaturally dries up and
scales off.
We have a remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff, ex
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation in the scalp and around the
hair roots and overcome baldness, so
long uh there is any life left in the hair
roots.

The small boy is responsible for
the brightest sayings of the age. We
are indebted to him for the quaintest
hits of logic and humor, and but for him
the duties of Puck would almost be dis
pensed with. A certain youngster of
prominent parentage was brought up to
conclude his nightly prayers with,
“Please God, take care of my p<»pa and
mamma. ” The father was called away
on a business trip, and he rather serioun-
ly took his little son into his confidence
and told him to take good care of his
mother.
That ii.gnt the little fellow startled
his ii.o r by saying, “Please God,
take i of pupa, but don’t worry
about wmu, for I am going to take
