[ .. love! Before she married she was ONLY PROPER REVENGE REBUKING THE PRESUMPTION OF THE MARRIED WOMAN. Too Many Seek to Probe Into the Heart Secrets of Their Less For tunate Sisters, and Deserve Severe Treatment. A good many ifferences might ba made about her own experience in preserving the tender passion with a ve husband. To write so feelingly f the preservative qualities of a dead ]over naturally suggests that a living ppouse gave her cause to do some cob- bling at the run-down heels of senti- ment. But—that did not excuse her Fmpertlnenee! Nothing gave her tha right in the sight of God, man or other women; nothing excused her. A cowboy with a record for men be had killed finally met his match. His admiring friends were “stumped” to find an epitaph to put upon the monument they builded him. At last they had graven there in chaste and forceful simplicity, “He done his durnedest.” 1, too, faltering befora the futility of language as a means of expressing just what the married woman does who asks the impertinent question, say, “She does—" It isn’t necessary to repeat the quotation. Why, the married woman who does it is a social ghoul cavorting heed- lessly, wantonly, 'cruelly, hideously on the grave of dead hopes, gouging per question into the body of lost . Jike other women thoroughfarers. Afterward, seated in the matrimonial automobile, she dashes headlong | pmong the omes who still walk and knocks the very breath out of them. parently, she thinks the marriage chine is meant to send single ans scurrying and dodging. yway, that’s the use she makes pt it.

Indeed, phe would be thinking even while ghe hurriedly pleaded an engagement || and piloted her husband out of the maid’s dangerous neighborhood. Pos- pibly that is all that is needed—just to set the married interrogators think- fng—to make them realize the enorm- ity of their offense. Surely the utter wiolation of good taste, the inexcus- gble intrusion into personal affairs, ‘the suffering they carelessly create must make them pause. If a wife asks the REASON and a maid insinuates that SHE is IT, she levels the popgun of her impertiment inquiry full in the face of another spinster. And every matron made to think—and feel a little wholesome fear, perhaps—will mean one less maid, at least, to be grilled on the hot plate of the married woman’s curiosity. If every pretty and attractive un- married woman would follow out this suggestion a reformation would be effected that would enable us to pre- gerve the sacredness of our memories or our pride or—our reputations! It's worth trying!—New York Press. What 1t Comes To. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley told in an ad- dress in Washington a story apropos of food adulteration. “There was a man,” he said, “who manufactured so-called silver spoons. A dealer bought largely from him, but was always clagoring for a lower price, “‘But I can’t lower the price’ the manufacturer would say, ‘unless I put in more lead.” “‘All right—more lead, by all means.’” This the dealer reply. “The other week the dealer wired hat he would take an enormous con- ilgnment of spoons if the price were put a further ten per cent. “‘I can’t cut the price another pen- py, the manufacturer wired back. “‘Put in more lead,’ wired the deal- er. “Impossible,” was the manufactur erg reply. ‘Last lot I shipped you were all lead.”” OUR Mr. 8 t Cards, However, Worked Very Well for a Time. Mr. Splegelhausen found it hard to member at home certain things he d thought of in business hours, and conversely matters that occurred to im at night would escape his mind efore he reached the office next morning. After trylng various un- ;luccesstul methods of memory culti- vation, he hit on the plan of writing postal cards to himself and address- ing them to the other place from which ever he happened to be-in at the moment. Thus the last mail would bring to the house one or more cards with such a memo. scrawled hpon it: “Remind Mrs. S. to give my coat to cleaner,” and vice versa the first mail dowutown would re- mind him: “See J. T. W. in re. thou. sand lot umbrella canes.” For a time this served the purpose, but presently his precise and farsee- ing mind began to anticipate and work more and more in advance, so that on a Monday night he would mail a card from home saying: “Be pure to send card from office tomor- Tow to remind yourself of dinner en- gagement Tuesday.” Then he got to Jotting down appointments on postal cards a whole week ahead, sending other cards to warn himself when to drop them in the letter box, and final- 1y his harassed brain refused to work any longer on such a strain. One evening his wife asked him whether he had thought to attend to the season tickets for the opera, and he rerlied with a sheepish attempt at laughter: “I suppose that was on the pile of cards on my desk this morn- ing. I saw the postman bring them, but I forgot to turn them over and see what they sald.” RECORD OF CRIMINAL LIVES Book Which Would Be Condemnsd Today Read by Men and Women ‘a Few Generations Ago. One of the scarce books which has to be sold at an approaching auction sale in this city bears this fascinat~ ing title: “The Lives of the Most Re- markable Criminals, Who Have Been Condemned and Executed; for Murder, Highway, House-Breakers, Street Rob- beries, Coining or Other Offenses: MOTTO: TOO ELABORATE A SYSTEM from 1720 to the Present Time.” Tha “present time” referred to in this ti- tle was only the year 1735, so that the whole period covered by these thrilling and numerous criminal lives was only 16 years. It must have been a great time for criminals, for between the covers of the book are the stories of Jack Sheppard, Kennedy the Plrate, Jonathan Wild, Mrs. Grif- fin, Edward Burnsworth, William Bar. wick and several other quite cele- brated criminals. Cheer up! Those were worse times than ours for crim- inality—and those were the days, tdo, when men and women were hanged ‘for burglary, counterfeiting, sheep stealing, and even poaching and smug- gling. . An odd thing about that time, too, was that hundreds of books were print- ed which contained full and harrow- ing details of murder and robbery, and that almost everybody, including olergymen and delicate ladies;, read these books eagerly as fast as they came out. The oldest public libraries in New England contain, in the book collections which were spread before the youth of the community, many such criminal lives.—New York Mail Muscles and Brain. Experiments conducted by Mosso ot Turin indicate that physical educa tion and gymnastics serve not only for the development of the muscles, but for that of the brain as well. It is becoming evident, in the opinion of this authority, that as much time should be devoted to muscular exer- cise as to intellectual exercise, and that children should begin reading and writing only after they are nine years old. Muscular fatigue exhibits pheno- mena identical with Intellectual fa- tigue. Nerve cells show a tendency to rest every ten seconds. It is probable that only part of the brain is active at a time; the various parts relieve one another.
