Good Rules.
Rule 1 The husband shud never be-
cum angry at the salm time that the
wife Is angry. One ungry person In s
fambly is snuff at a time.
Rule u—The wife shud newer stay
angry after she has gone to sleep. Bhe
might have a nitemare.
Rule 3—When a husband is contra-
dickted by a wife he shud smile sweetly
& say, wen his wife gives him a chanst,
" l dare say you are right.” That in
the greatest sentence that was ewer
invented for making matrimony pos-
ilbal.
Now, Bobble, sed Pa. there is a good
point right thare. Let us go in the
other room A I will ask you to notto
how yure Ma acts wen 1 answer her
that way. “I dare say you are right.”
So we went in the living room Ma
was thare. She was kind out of sorta
about sunothing. I guess, beekaus she
linked at l’a & me kind of cross wen we
cairn ill. Well, 1 suppose you want yure
supper. Sed Ma. Yes, deerest, ’sed Pa.
It is a wonder that you & our son dldent
fool around in the library until it was
time for’ brekfust, sed Ma. The men
nowadays, sed Ma, act for ail the wurld
as if wimnien was made to wait on them
& newer give anything else a thought.
I dare say you are rite, sed Pa.
Of course, 1 am rite, sed Ma. Now
thare is .Missus Norris. She jest left a
few minutes before you got hoam. She
toald me that her husband reefused to
buy her another frock until next month
and then went to his club and lost four
dollars bowling ten pins. Think of it,
I sed Ma, unable to buy his little wife
j another frock when she only had three,
and then going and losing four dollars
J bowling. That Is the man of it for you.
How much was the frock? sed Pa.
Very Cheap.
Only sixty dollars, Ma sed* Tbay was

Maybe he vuu afford to spend four
dollars bowling & middent spend sixty
dollars for a other frock, sed Pa.
Thare you go. sed Ma, iTeefendlng

The men want to be tile lords of cre-

“Womans Work Is Never Done”
By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER
it
M
AX’S work lasts from sun to
sun,
But woman’s work is never
done.”
And one reason why it to never done
is that she to not allowed to do it.
Men can understand that other men
have necessary work to perform; it is.
however, hard for women of leisure to
understand how busy a busy woman
may be. And until they do understand
this it will not be easy for any woman
to labor as steadily and satisfactorily
as does a man.
A man who is hfi author said to me,
• From the time that I go into my study
after breakfast In the morning, until I
ani ready to come out at luncheon, 1 am
not disturbed.”
I gasped with envy and also with a
little incredulity, for I know that his
study is in his apartment and that he
has a wife and children.
"I mean It,” he said. “If I would do
good work, 1 must be left alone."
"But your telephone?” I queried.
That is right on your desk."
Should Be Unmolested.
Ho smiled in a superior kind of way.
“Ah. yes, but that is only a switch from
the instrument in the hall, and my wife
or the maid answers the main phone.
If I am asked for the reply is that I am
‘engaged and cannot be disturbed.
I do insist that when the man has
gone to business, and the children to
school and college, when the orders have
been given to the maids, the butcher,
grocer, etc., that even a woman might
have three or four hours each day in
which she need not bo disturbed or,
at least, that she might have her morn
ings unmolested.
"But she should explain to her
friends." says someone. "They would
understand and not call on her or tel
ephone to her In the morning."
Her friends! Does anyone fancy It to
one’s close friends that disturb one? No,
indeed!
YVhp to it then who interrupts the
woman and ignores the fact thut she is
“engaged ?’’
First of all, it is next to impossible
to make a maid understand that when
a woman would write a story, paint u
picture or give a music lesson she has
in view any object except that of amus
ing herself for a little while when she
has nothing else on hand. Therefore, In
spite of interdicts, she often interrupts
any one of these occupations to deliver
some message that could wait, without
Injury, for a half day. But if she is so
well trained that she does not do this,
she seldom has strength of mind to say
to those who would reach her mistress
by telephone or In person that the busy-
woman cannot, be disturbed.
Wliat Is Another Way?
I remember that when I battered my
self that I had at last drilled one maid
into doing this. I discovered thut her
answer lor weeks had been the same,
namely , that I was gone away ami that
nobody knew when I would come back.
A lien 1 learned of this and protested to
her. explaining that her statement was
an untruth, she said with a knowledge
of human nature at which l could not
sufficiently' wonder "Indade, ma’am, if
1 said you was engaged and couldn't see
’em, they'd not be satisfied. But if I say
you’re away, sure what to there for their
to do but lave you alone?"
No, it is not one’s own friends win
will not accept the "engaged" statement,
for they love one enough to let her alon*
during her golden morning hours. But
there are a plenty of other people who
-lo not love one Among them are the
casual acquaintance, who wants to ask
one to subscribe to a certain philantrop-
io movement; the woman who tele
phones to ask about a maid who was
once in one's employ and who querist
"must engage immediately if at all.
and who talks for at least ten minutes
about her past experiences with “help;
'lie book agent—for whom one cannot
help being sorry -the former schoolmate
who has not seen one far years, but
who. in passing through the city, lias
“looked one up.” and insists to the hes
itating maid that she knows her mis
tress will be displeased if this “friend
of her girlhood” Is turned from the
door: these are among the hundred-and-
one people who would be wounded by
thut “engaged.” Yet we are told that
t is not honest to send word that one
is. “not at home."
Ik there not some way in which the
members of society who do not have to
be let alone to accomplish their work
un be made to'understand that even a
woman may’ need time and quiet in
which to do the task laid to her hand?
And yet, what woman calling on an
'.cquaintance, does not feel rebuffed by
the message that “Mrs. Blarfk is en
gaged, and begs to be* excused?"

A FTER a colliery explosion at
Llanbradach, Wales, one of the
rescue parties made a surpris
ing discovery. Perched on a tub in
the mine was a robin! Now, must
colliers regard the presence of bird",
particularly those with white plum
age, about pits as a “token," and the
“lire’’ which had occurred was there
fore attributed to the intrusion of
the perky little stranger!
Ruts are not uncommon about a
pithead, and some of them reach the
depths beneath, occasionally with fa
tal haste. .
One, during the process of rauitig
down a j-'haft, acquired such momen
tum by the time it reached the bottom
that when it struck a collier there
was a loud report as of an explosion,
and the man was knocked to in *
ground with great force.
In warm mines, too, mice are nu

trusses of hav and bags <>! corn that
are taken down it for the ponies, and
these, notwithstanding th** strange

It might be supposed that "mous-

colliers at unco “downed tocils” and
went home.
Some of them then consulted a lo
cal wise woman, telling her of the
“vision" they had sVen earlier in the
day. whereupon she predicted a dis
aster. As a result more than 200 men
refused to go down the following
morning, and, though the manager did
his utmost to induce them to resume
work, they obstinately determined to
remain idle.
And. what is more, ir. was not until
Hire* days later that all th*- men were
at work again.
There were two curious sequels t»»
this incident, one. which took place
about a week afterward, was the
prosecution and conviction of the for
tune teller for causing the miners to
absent themselves from work.
A Gruesome Discovery.
The other sequeal happened much
more recently, and \\'da the discovery
of the* skeleton of a dog —doubtless
that whh h had been seen by some of
the miners—in tlu* workings.
The most singular trespassers in
coal mines, perhaps, are workers from
neighboring pits. A man or boy loses
his way and, when his lamp goes out,
wanders in pitchy darkness through
tin* disused workings, ever listening
for tiie sound of a pick, till he either
sink;- exhausted or gets in touch with
humanity again.
A bloodhound was once taken down
a pit to find a man who had disap
peared. and in several cases lost
miners have ultimately worked back
to their starting point. Some years
ago, for instance, a boy was lost in a
Scotch colliery from Monday morning
to Wednesday morning, notw ithstand
ing he was searched for systemati
rally the whole time, and in the end.
when almost exhausted, he came upon
hto futhei and uncle at the place
where he had left them.
Sometimes, however, miners be
come trespassers —only in a technical
a* ns* -i;irough "striking” a road
communicating with another pit and
following it up.
