Tulsa, Ok., Jan. 14.—When Pink | Bond, formerly in the livery business | at Kendrick, stepped from a train there after a year’s absence in New Mexico he was surprised to seea hearse drawn up and his wife with a large concourse of relatives and friends awaiting the arrival of his corpse, which they expected to take to Stroud for burtal. ‘ Early last week Mrs. Bond recelv- yi ed a telegram stating that her hus- band was very ill and requesting her to come to him at once. Before she had arranged for her departure 6 second telegram came advising her of the death of her husband and that the body would be shipped to Ken- drick that day. The wite made all preparations to receive the body, the hearse made two trips to the station and the grave was ordered to be dug. Mr. Bondexplatned that he had experienced a severe attack of heart trouble, which probably caused the message to be sent to his wife. The ‘ day after his arrival, he paid a ; funeral bill of $200 Wives Want to Learn Status. ae Chicago, Jan. 14 —Can a wife buy : a new hat without asking her hus- band’s permisston and then compel him to pay for it?

Mark Twain Sounds Warning. New York, Jan, 14.—Mark Twain, humorist, his ominous visions of an American monarchy. So strong is he in his prediction that we are pri- vately hankering after titles that he introduces the autoblography now appearing {the North American Review, writing “as regards our American monarchy.” The venerable author was aroused by arecent speech of Secretary of State Root, and he says: “Mr, Root did not eay in so many words that we are proceeding in a steady march toward eventual and unavoidable replacement of the re- public by a monarchy; but I sup- pose that he was aware that that is the case. “He notes the several steps, the customary steps, which in all the ages have led to the consolidation of loose and scattered governmental forces into formidable centralization by authority; but he stops there and doesn’t add up the sum. He is not unaware that the same figures can fairly be depended upon to fur- nish the same sum whenever and wherever they can be produced.” Dreadnought Coming Here. New York, Jan. 14 —The British The warship will take a notable cruise across the At- lantic and reach West Indian waters about the time Admiral Evans’ squadron willbe in that vicinity, thus giving the American naval of- ficers an opportunity to see ~ great war veseel.

Hopkinsville, Ky., Jan. 14.—Be- cause the patrons of rural free de- livery No. 2, out of Cerulean Springs in Trigg county, refused to allow thelr mall to be delivered by the ne- gro carrier who was appolnted, the route has been discontinued by the Postal department. The route was established Jan. 15, 1906, but the mail was delivered by a white man until April 1, when he resigned. W. L. George, colored, was then appointed carrier and immediately the patrons of the route began tak- ing down their mail boxes and this continued until the route has now been discontinued for lack of pat- ronage. Patrons of the rout never made any threats or demonstration against,the carrier, but preferred to go to the office for their mail rather than have it delivered by a negro. The Stork’s Package.

Afarmer near Larimore says he}. has an infallible hunch that the county court will order a bridge for the creek in front of his place. He has been endeavoring to get one. dence to deaden the noise of passing boy of a passer by, “what’s the hay doin’ out here?” “My son,” sald the man, “the stork has just brought a baby tothe woman who lives in this house.” The boy looked once more at the littered street and then sald: ‘Gee, it must have come well Incompetent Wives. There is no greater injustice that can be inflicted upon a girl than for a mother to allow a daughter to enter womanhood or wifehood without practical knowledge of a household and its requirements. It matters not how easy her life may be made for her, how everything may be provided for her by generous parents when she begins her new career, nor how many servants she may have at her call, a woman is cruelly handicaped who comes to her own home without an intelligent conception of its manage- ment. It is a popular thing in certain “smart sets” to scoff at the utility of housekeeping, but nothing more sure- ly stamps the intellectual caliber of a girl than an indulgence in such feath- er-brained commonplaces, The girl who believes she becomes fashionable by being untrue to the best instincts of her sex is the girl who some day wakes up to wonder why other wo- men are so happily married, and she still retains her single blessedness. Weulth does not lessen the necessity of a knowledge of home-making and home-keeping on the part of the girl, says New York Weekly. The largest retinue of servants requires a head, and an intelligent one,“just as the largest business requires a. master; and servants, whether in a home or in an office, are quick to discover inca- pacity and take advantage of it. The woman who comes closest to the solu- tion of the servant-girl problem is the woman whom her servants know is as capable of doing their work as they are themselves. Servants of any kind work best and only under direction, and proper direction requires knowl- edge. No study is more vital to a girl than this, Many a girl after mar- riage has wished that she knew more about cooking. The strongest love of a husband for a wife is not a safe guard for the discontent which is sure to enter a home where the wife be- trays constant domestic incapacity. If the husband be the master of his business, he expects his wife to be the mistress of her home. Writers and public speakers have done much harm {in referring to cooking as & homely art; on the contrary, no prac- tical art exists which is more grace ful. A woman who fills her home in every sense of the word elicits more true applause, worthy at all of the having, than the woman endowed with any other quality. Menelik is a man of striking ap- pearance. Capt. Powell Cotton of the British army found him sitting on cushions on a dais, surrounded by about 20 attendants, and he thus des- eribes him: “His is a very dark, but not black face, marked by smallpox, rather even but not very white teeth, a short, grayish beard and whiskers, a face that is full of strength and shrewdness, quick in altering expres- sion, and a pleasant smile and hearty laugh. His head was covered with white muslin, drawn tight on the skull. A fine rose-cut diamond in the left ear, a plain gypsy ring on the right hand, white trousers, a coat of green and yellow striped silk, a black satin cloak with gold braid and lined with pink, was his costume.” Gen. Sir Hugh Gough, G. C. B., who has entered his seventy-fourth year, has worn the. Victoria Cross for nearly half a century. It has been said that he won it twice over in the fighting around Lucknow, and that is likely enough, Lord Roberts saw him win it the first time and has recorded with keen appreciation the daring cavalry charge that Gough led, and that so materially helped to complete the day’s work.
