I always manage to strike first, and once I land on them with these hoofs of mine there isn't much fight left in them."” Buster looked at Lightfoot's slim legs and thought of how fast they could move. They were all that Buzztail would have to strike at, and he would have to be quick indeed to hit one of them. Then he looked at his own big, clumsy-looking paws and stout legs. Buzztail could hardly miss one of them if it were within reach. He began to understand Lightfoot’s daring. Still, the fact remained and he had to admit it that Lightfoot had not been afraid, while he had. Whether he wanted to or not, he had to respect Lightfoot more than he ever had before. “It is a good thing that Buzztail uses that rattle of his to warn people,” said Lightfoot. “If it hadn't been for that, you probably would have been bitten Just now.” Buster shivered at the mere thought. “Buzztail $5 at least fair,” he said. 1 have to say that much for him. I guess all he wants is to be left alone, so when any one comes along he sounds a warning. Then, if they get in trouble, it is their own fault. That is more than can be sald for his cousin, Copperhead, the only other of the poison folk we have around here. He doesn’t give any warning. Buzztail and Copperhead are two folk I don't want enything to do with, and I don't care who knows it. I was surprised to see Buzztail out as late as this. I supposed he had gone to sleep for the Winter.” “He came pretty near going to sleep, never to wake up,” replied Lightfoot, grimly. “He certainly did,” “He certainly did.” agreed Buster.

Gorr - From Gortow' \ 'reasure Chest of Doap Sea Troats), THE EVENING DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX - Do Riches Insure Happiness?—How Can Man Teach Wife to Be Tidy? EAR Miss Dix: If a girl marries a rich man who can give her all sorts of luxuries, is she assured of happiness? What, if any, are the trials of the rich wife? LPB Answer—Nobody can deny that money is a comfortabie thing in the house and that it brings man indulgencies which a woutes enjoys, and saves her from many of the anxieties that vex her soul, ¥ut just the possession of money does not make & man a desirable husband. nor does money insure a successful marriage. Indeed, quite the contrary. More millionaires than poor people get divorces, and it is far rarer to see a rich middle-aged couple who are still lovers than it is to see poor people who are still sweethearts on their golden wedding days. A WOMAN can be just as lonely in a palace as she can in a two-by-four flat or a bungalow. She can be just as much bored by a dull million- aire as she can by a dull $18-a-week clerk. She can find a rich hus Lu" as uncongenial and hard to live with as a poor one. She can have er heart broken by a millionaire that she loves if he is unfaithful to her just as much as she can be hurt by the philandering of a poor one. So when it comes to the very essence of marriage, which is the happi- ness that a husband and wife get from bel together, the rich wife has no advantage over the r one. Each is made happy or miserable by the character of the one he or she is married to, not by what he or she ossesses. It is only the gold-digger wife who is made happy by her hus- and's money. S a matter of fact, the woman who is married to & very successful man has far less chance of happiness than the one who is married to just the common or garden variety of husband. A man pays for his success by giving himself to it body and soul so completely that it l]l"nost excludes his wife. He must give his first thought, his time, his energy, all that is best in him, to his career. Many a woman married to a big-business man is virtually widowed. Often she hardly sees him except for a few hurried minutes a day, and when he comes home he is too tired, too absorbed in gigantic projects, to give her more than perfunctory attention. He may be truly fond of her at bottom and lavish on her everything that money will buy, but he does not give her himself, and that is what a woman wants most if she loves her husband. MORE than that, he lives a iife apart, filled with plans and interests that she cannot share, and there is no such comradeship between her and him as there is between the poor husband and wife who must consult over buying the baby a pair of new shoes and what they will have for dinner. T have heard many very rich women say that the happiest times of their lives were when they were poor young wives helping their hus- bands get a start in the world. Then another trial of the poor rich wife is that she lives in constant fear of her husband being taken away from her. Every rich man is a shining mark for every predatory woman he meets. He is set upon by beautiful young creatures who tempt him with every lure of the flesh and the devil, and it takes a strong and resolute Joseph to turn his back upon them and remain faithful to his old wife. POOR man, or even & moderately well-to-do man, is virtually safe from this danger. He hasn't enough money to make him interesting to the vamps, and so his wife is saved from the ceaseless and agonizing and often hopeless fight of trying to hold her husband. In marriage & woman might well pray, as did the pslamist of old, to give her neither riches nor poverty. The happiest couples are those in Which neither the wolf nor the gold-digger is trying to break into the home. Nothing binds a man and woman together as does the common interest of working together and saving together and building up a home together and being dependent upon each other for their pleasure and interest in life. R DOROTHY DIX. EAR Miss Dix: ‘I have been married for three years and have a sweet baby. Even before the baby came my wife and I quarreled over her slovenly housekeeping and untidine sStill, then she would make an effort to clean up for a while, but now she just lets everything go and uses the baby for an alibl. I am able to afford one servant for her. What can I do? Answer—If a woman is just naturally trifing and lazy and slovenly, she is incurable. She will always love her ease better than anything else on earth, and no consideration of her family’s comfort will galvanize her into action. The only thing that a man cursed with that kind of wife can do is to make enough money to hire a good maid who will make him & comfortable home in which to live. 'HERE are some faults in a wife that a husband can correct if he goes about it with tact and firmness, but he wastes his time trying to reform & lazy one. There is nothing in her to which he can appeal. 8he has no sense of duty, or else she would realize that she isn't playing fair in not being a good housekeeper. She has no sense of pride, or else she would be ashamed to go sloppy and untidily dressed and to keep a house that looks like a pigsty. Hence the man with such a wife must either get rid of her or make up his mind to endure her as she is. He can never change her. As for your wife making an alibi of the baby, that's a com- mon feminine practice. Thousands of women use their children as a standing excuse for everything they do and leave undone. Plenty of women simply slump after the first baby is born. They let themselves go untidy. They con't even comb their hair or put on a decent dress for dinner. They never read any more. They give up their music or their peinting or whatever accomplishments they had. They drop out of their old clubs and associations and get dull and unattractive and lose all their old graces and charms. 'HE excuse they offer for it is the baby. They make a smoke screen of the poor little mite in the cradle. behind which they hide their indolence and general lack of pep and smbition. Also this super-mother devotion saves their faces because it sounds grand and noble for them to be devoting themselves to their children. But in reality it is only a subterfuge. It is a lazy woman hiding behind the baby’s pinafore, because any woman who wants to can find time ke care of her children and do everything else she desires to do. This tnessed by the myriads of women who are model mothers and house- s, and yet who Irequent beauty shops and belong to clubs and play and help run the communities in which they live wi golf DOROTHY DIX.
