He was known as the protege of a former mayor and nation- ally known character. The young fellow’s mentor had died prior to the candidate’s nomination, but his spirit carried on in the heart of the town and in the soul of the mayoralty as- pirant.

NANCY PAGE Naney's Short Cake Recipe 1s Popular. | BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Nancy's home was most popular at strawberry time. She made a straw- berry shortcake that was famous far and near. Peter's office associates used !to angle for dinner invitations. And after they had been at the house Nancy i hating to discuss such a sordid thing as finances with a man who is still a Husband Pattern Settled During Iirst Year of Marriage, and He Treats His Wife as She ITas Taught Him. 7O Y the next 30 or 40 or 50 vears depend upon how you train your husband. It is a great pity that there isn't a husband book that is a manual for brides to follow on how {o bring up a husband as there is & baby book that is the law and gospel to young mothers on how to rear their children. For, in a way, young husbands and young babies are much alike. They both come into a world of which they know nothing and in which they have had no experience and they do not know what to expect or what is | expected of them, and when they are new they are soft and yielding and easy to mold. They are both even as dough In the hands of the wife or mother to whom they look for sustenance and material comfort. but they soon harden into form and in six months they can both be irretrievably spoiled and turned into grinding tyrants. Behaviorists tell us that the life pattern of a child is fixed in the first year or two of its existence. Certainly the husband pattern of a man is settled during the first year of marriage, and ever afterward he treats his wife as she has taught | him during that time to treat her and observes the customs, manners and habits ! that she has impressed upon his plastic bridegroom soul. b7 | Most husbands’ faulls are the resull of sheer ignorance. Men don’t marry women deliberately to make them unhappy. and when they are selfish and Inconsiderate and overbearing and ill-mannered and trample roughshod over their wives' feelings, it is not because they are malevolent, but simply because | they haie not been taught any better. 1] So, daughter, if you want to be l;a|)|))' though married start on your wedding day to bring your husband up in the way he should go and when you celebrate your golden wedding he will not have departed therefrom. Begin during the honeymoon by settling the allowance question and getting vour fair share of the family income for running the house and for your own personal behoof and benefit. That will save 365 breakfast-table fights a year and do more than any other one thing to keep him from looking upon you as a hold-up artist and to prevent you from regretting that you ever swapped off a good-pay job for a wedding ring. ) JFEW men count the cost of a family in dollars and cents before marriage. They have a vague and romantic idea that every woman is a sort of miracle worker who can run a house and set a good table on air. and they get the shock of their lives when they find out that matrimony is mostly one bill after another. s . Brides sense this. and wishing to wear their halo us long as possible and lover, they let the money question go by, with the disastrous result that they have fixed in their husbands’ minds the idea that they are nothing but upper | servants who don't even have to be paid wages and Who are expected to work | for such board and clothes as their lords and masters see fit to give them. They could just as easily have established their status as partners with their husbands if they had insisted on that when they were married. Next, teach your husband to treat you with respect.

It is all because they made the wrong beginning by asking their husbands what they thought when they were brides and their husbands got into the way of bossing them, and that is a habit that can never be broken. Therefore, don't cultivate an arrogant spirit in your bridegroom.

Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. May 8, 1861.—In the midst of & heavy drizzling rain the 1st and a part of the 2d New Jersey Regiments from Newark | arrived here between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning. They reached Annapolis by steamer late night before last, and laid off in the stream until yesterday had a regiment parade, after which they broke into company drill. The brigade was then marched to the railroad station, and at 3:30 o'clock in the afterncon the men got on board | the cars and started for Washington. The train contained 21 cars and was drawn by two locomotives. The trip was most disagreeable, the track being quite dangerous by reason | of the rain. After nightfall the cars were compelled to run slowly. The railroad is guarded all' the way from Annapolis to Washington by Pennsylvania troops, who are very| much exposed. Every 200 paces there is a sentinel, and about every eighth of & mile there is a rallying point, where a considerable number of men are con- stantly stationed. When the New Jersey men arrived in Washington they were compelled to march up and down the streets for hours before any quarters could obtained for them. There was no offi- | cer at the depot to meet them or give information about where they were to lodge. As they marched along in the mud, rain and darkness they occa- sionally fired a gun. At last somebody introduced the 1st Regiment to, the Columbia market building, and somebody else forced open the door of the Constitution office and got the five companies of the 2d Regi- ment under shelter there. Wet to the skin, fagged out from their marching and destitute of rations or fuel to build fires, the men lay down on the floors, rolled themselves in their blankets and made the best of their situation. At 10:30 o'clock this morning the only men who had broken their fast were a few who happened to have enough money of their own to purchase food at res- taurants in the neighborhood. ‘Their uniform consisted of a dark Lord Thomas Erskine, one of the great Jawyers of history and judged by many the greatest forensic orator Brit- ain has produced, claims to have had a conversation with the dead. He told of his adventure while he and the Duchess of Gordon were call- ing on Lady Morgan, an Irish novelist, whose book of reminiscences. “The Book of the Boudoir,” was widely read by London society. cussion of the supernormal when the Duchess of Gordon told about a case of second sight which had occurred in her own family. It was then that Lord Erskine related his story. his_splendid career that he went back to Scotland after rather a lengthy ab- sence. The next morning, strolling about the streets of Edinburgh, he went for a short time into a ook shop. Coming out, he met the old family butler. “He looked greatly changed, pale, wan and shadowy,” says Lord Erskine. ““Eh, old" boy,’ The conversation wandered into dis- | It was while he was still a youm;l man embarked on the first stages of | “EH, OLD BOY,” I SAID, “WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?"” |surprise. She told him that on his deathbed the butler had told her that Lord Erskine's father'’s steward had wronged him of some money, and had | added, “But when Master Tom re- turns he will see you righted.” Naturally the great advocate prom- ised the widow that he would do as the butler had said. He soon fulfilled the promise. The whole incident was in- delibly fixed in his_memory, bringing much subsequent reflection and specu- | 1ation.

But he was not satisfied with the old butler's unex- plained disappearance. Remembering that the man’'s wife carried on a little trade of some sort in the Old Town (a | section of Edinburgh and knowing where the house was, he went around to make further inquiry. y ‘To his astonishment, he found the butler's wife in mourning.

Treat them as creatures to be con-| stantly and sharply corrected. Keep on hand a ready stock of don'ts and use them freely. Show by your manner | that you are superior. Call attention to the fact that you don't do these naughty things. ~ Why should they? Tell them of all the good little children you know. If you give them candy, show it to them first and then tell them they may have it if—— Put in enough “if’s” to spoil the taste of the candy f* you give it to them. Tell them that When you were their age you didn't do all those ugly and irritating things. When your don’ts are exhausted lay | in & store of stops. Stop whistling and meddling and fidgeting. Explain how much they will benefit by listening to your conversation. Explain why they should be interested. Add that you are doing all this for their good. If they boast or show off, take them down a peg—several pegs. Be shocked at their bad language. Always talk down to them to be sure they. understand. When you leave tell them you hope they will behave better | next time. Expect them to be fond of you and respect you for all this con- sideration. With these suggestions you will be able to think of many more, and so| make your unpopularity complete. But | you may take me up sharply and tell | me that you don't want to be popular with children; you want to make them well behaved. “If you don't check all| these bad habits now, they'll get worse, | and it will be so much harder later on. | You are just helping the parents in their job, or are trying to make up for what the parents failed to do. But if the parents are of the right sort you'll be unpopular with them also.

Naturally | there are false ways of doing it as well as correct ones.

Mind you, I don’t say popularity at any price, any more than I say peace at any price. Do the best you can, and you'll still have plenty of occasions on which you will have to correct children, be irrifated by them and reprove them. It's a great advantage, when this hap- pens, to have the support of popularity. It makes it easier to get over the falling out, make up and be friends again. Once the child turns against you and you become his enemy, you are lost. Children are much better haters than lovers; so are a good many grown-ups. Your business and mine is to help them to become better lovers than haters. Popularity is & lever to move them in the right direction. Children need even more than adults the comfortable feeling of being ap- preciated. When you are in a confi- dential mood with yourself, decide honestly how much you need it, and yowll value more highly popularity with children, who may not be good critics (though I think they are) but who are honest ones. { (Copyrigh — 1020) Argentina is now taking nearly one- fifth of the passenger automobiles and one-third of the trucks exported from he United States. med with white cord, blue fatigue cap and regulation Army overcoat, all of which gives them their name of “New Jersey Blues.” Their commanding offi- | but he bet I couldn’t hit a rooster with “I was goin’ to stay all day at Pug’s, his air rifle an’ he lost.” cer is Col.
