ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
She Has a Word of Advice For the Wife Who
Believes She Is Neglected and Cruelly
Treated.
(Copyright. 1907. by Amerlr&n-Jnurnal-Exftmlncr.)
“I love him very much. 1 Uo not know what to do—live with him or
—leave Mm*
T 1US is the glMt of a letter received bv me from a woman who writes of
the neglect uud cruelty of her husband—u letter full «»f walls of woe
und sorrow*.
Her husband Is jealous without cause, and he makes her life miserable
bv his tempers and his moods. And then she doses with the sentence quoted
above, and usk.s for my advice.
Why. my dear lady, you have answered your own query, of course, If
you-love the man, you will live with him.
That Is woman's nature. If you love enough, and If your mental powers
are trained In the way of thinking love, as well as your heart Is in feeling It,
you can reform the man und make him into a good husbund, unless he Is an
absolute brute.
Very few men are.
one man has written me to say that 1 ought not to advise women to
try and be pleasing to the masculine sea, us men arc "pigs, pure und sim
ple.**
Dut I do pqt .agree with him. It has been my rihmI fortune to he dose-
1 v associated with men who were not even remotely related t<» pigs. 1 find men
•iulte ns good as wonun, taken ull In all. and i am afraid I know more
good husband* tlmn 1 do good wive*.
WOMEN ARE A8 IRRITATING A8 A 8WARM OF GNAT8.
So many women are blind to their own aggravating faults—-faults which'
are as Irritating and oh petty as u swarm of gnats; ami they pose us model*
of virtue and goodness, and their casual acquaintance* wonder how hus
bands can be so cruel as to neglect such wives.
Perhaps you who wrote the letter from which I quote have aggravated
your husband 111 a tcore of way* without realising It
Very few women’seem to realise that It I* a part **f the marriage obli
gation. as well a» a matter of courtesy, to study a husband's peculiarities
und weaktttases, amt to avoid Irritating him In these especial points.
U’c are vary thoughtful of our guests in such matters—we suit our sub-
jet i.M of conversation ami our manners to tnetr taste*; and why should we
not bo at careful at the feelings of those nearest to ut* a# we are of those
casuul acquaintances?
If. as you aay. madam, you love your husband very much, you ought to
use all your powers of mind and heart to moke him happy, and you can do
a great deal by Just thinking and believing that he Is all that you want him
to be.
BLOT OUT FAULTS AND SUBSTITUTE GOOD QUALITIE8.
Dwell as little a* possible upon his faults. Put the thought of them out
of your mind, and think of all of hi* good qualities. Say to yourself a score
of times each day; "He Is good, kind, appreciative, loving. He loves me ns
1 do him. He Is going to care for mo more and more ns the day* go by."
Keep thinking and saying this to yourself. Do mu argue or dispute
with him. Be patient and agreeable, und wait for result*. It Is worth the
trial, surely, since you love the man. .
Mind la greater than matter, and love is the strongest power In the uni
verse. There la nothing It can not accomplish w hen It I* wisely directed.
Instead of spending your time In futile tear* and brooding over your
husband** lack of tenderness, spend It In declaring to yourself that he 1* alt
tenderness, love and appreciation. Your tear* have accomplished nothing
—your assertions may accomplish everything, for they are baaed on a great
law—the law of Divine will. You are In love with the real man.
The petty Jealousies and Ill-temper* of your husband are only acquired
habits. Ignore them In your thoughts of him. and cull to the real man, the
real lover, to assert Itself.
Try this for three months.
Do not talk about It, but keep steadily at work In the silence, and believe
God Is with you In the work. He Is a Iwavs working with those who love.

Rescuers Ars Overcome.
Tlte work of rescue was begun Im

About two hours after the explosion
three men were lowered Into the shaft.
Before descending 60 feet two of the
men were overcome with foul air and
the third was barely able to give the
signal to hi* comrades at the top.
All further attempt* were abandoned
for the time. The mine was supplied
with air by means of several large
fans. -The mechanism was damaged
by the explosion and all fresh air was
cut off from the victims. After two

Smoke and dust rushed Into the air
