AUNT MARTAA REBELS ' Sort of Wife a “Sot” Man Should Have. | p— By CLARENCE J. STERNES. | Farmer Jacob Darwin was gotting ready to 80 back to the field after & hearty dinuer when the bill-poster’s wagon for & circus drove up and the man in charge beckoned him dows to the gate and said: | | want to paste six of my posters on your barn.” ~Circus, eh " queried the farmer as | he looked the outfit over. ! “Yes, and the biggest and best on [ the road. Il give you six tickets” Jacob Darwin was sixty years old and a stern old man. He was upright {and honest, and he fiattered himself ium he was just. He owed no man & dollar, and he was kind to his horses | up to certain principles, and no one had known him to depart from them He was what country people call & “sot” man, and even the pastor of his church in the village sometimes | thought he was a little too rigid. | Jacob Darwin had the sort of & wife that men of his kind always have—, { meck and humble and uncomplaining. | She stood in awe of him. She has no opinions to conflict with his. She did! not ask why he did this or that. He, permitted her to live on, as it were, | and she was duly grateful. i “I wouldn't have circus pictures on | my barn under no consideration,” was village after some nails, and he ake along any butter and egs: the wife had ready. Therc > cheerfulness about her that he could pot understand. It was as if she had heard some good news, or that her mind had been relieved of some trouble. “Her brain must be a lettle toched —must be.” he said to himselt as he drove along. “Like enough she bas overworked, but she haia't made DO complaint.” Most husbands would have consult- ed a physician, out Jacod Darwia drove to his pastor's for & different kind of advice. The good man let him tell his story and then thought awhile before replying: 1 will drive back home with you and talk with her and then form an opinion.” Aunt Martha was not surprised to see her pastor. She suspected what he had come for, and she made things easier by introducing the subject. “| guess Jacob thinks | am crazy she said. “] am somewhat surprised myull.l sister.” was the reply. “You meedn’t be, parson. When ' marricd Jacob, most forty years ago. I was an orphan girl. 1 had never even been to a picnic. He was the only beau I ever had. [ never danced nor went to a spelling school. 1 have never been ten miles from the farm. We have never had a book in the house to read except the Bible. I have heard folks talk about ele- nhants lions and tigers but | wouldn't know one from a bull calf.” This didn't sound like crazy talk the reply to the offer that had beed |, =~} norgon, but yet he was puz: made. seo it that way.” “It's for my neighbor to see or mot to see for himself." “Suppose we make it three dollare fa cash?’ ‘ “No, sir.” | 1 didn't think there was one of the old stock left, but it's your barn and as we can't trade Il drive on.” Aunt Martha had stood in the front door and heard it all. When her hus- band turned away to his work she went back to hers. When she had cleared the table she did a thing that surprised herself ond made her neighbor wonder if she was going | Crazy. She put on her sun bonnet and walked down the road past the next house and then stood in the highway ! tor 30 minutes and gazed at the circus pictures pasted on the barn. When she walked slowly home she had some new thoughta In her mind, and her thin lips were firmly compressed. So firmly was the neighbor's wife convinced that there was something wrong with Aunt Martha that she | sneaked over to the field where Uncle { Jacob was working and told him what { she had seen. “It can't be!" he gasped. “But it is so.” “Jest stood and looked at the cir cus pictures, eh?” “Yes, and never minded me!” “Looked for half an hour, eh?" “Just 29 minutes. 1 was watching the clock. Don't you think she's go- ing crazy? Some women are took that way, I've heard.” | “Um! Mebbe she is.” Uncle Jacob quit work a little ear- lier than usual that afternoon, but he offered no excuses and was asked no questions. While not seeming to do 80, he watched Aunt Martha. He had been puzzled and troubled over what he had heard. Her actions were the same as usual, but there was a look on her face he could not remember to have seen before. It was a grim half-smile. He said nothing touching the subject until after the table had been cleared and the chores done up. Aunt Martha had seated herself to do some patching when he quietly ‘sald: | “That circus man wanted to put some pictures on the barn.” ‘ “Yes?" she replied, without looking up. | 1 wouldn't let him." | | | “I think those things are a sin and a shame.” “Yes?" “If you think as 1 do why did you walk down to Horton's barn this aft- ernoon and stand there gazing at the pictures for halt an hour?” “Because I wanted to see them!" was the prompt reply. “You knew I wouldn't have them on my barn?" She raised her face and looked him square in the eves and repeated her words. He winced as if he had re- ceived a blow from her hand, and it was a long minute before she added: “Yes, Jacob, 1 am going'" “Rut it's a circus.” “I know it, but I am going'™ Here was the first and only revolt for nearly forty years, and the hus band's amazement kept him dumb for awhile. If she had rebelled against something about the house—her want of clothing—too much work—the weariscme round—he would have stil} been surprised, for that is the wav of most husband’s, but not so greatly something mentally wrong vould she talk to hifiy the way she did? Would there have been any revolt? He wisely dropped the matter then and there, but he did not close his eyes in sleep until he had formulated 2 plan. At breakfast next moining Jacot LAXILAND, Flb }remarked that ho must drive to the .. | zled. “Your neighbor down the road don’t “ have never seen a telephone, auto, plano, street car or railroa continued the woman. “I can read and write just a little. 1 don’t know half that the children around me do I hear 'em talking about oceans. mountains, Europe and all that, but 1 get no idea of what they mean.” The parson was hitching around. and the hushand was looking out of the window. “I've made goft scap, cut carpet- rags, milked the cows, fed the hogs. churned the butter, atrained the milk. ~ooked the meals. worked in the gar- den. quilted quilts, dried apples, made preserves, shelled corn. gathered herbs, patched clothes, knit socks. run the smoke house, cared for the poultry--" “Stop!” commanded the parson “Mebbe, if it wasn't so wicked—" «aid the husband as he came forward. “Wicked, man!" almost shouted the parson—"wicked for her! You bring her to town on circus day and the three of us will go together and dai vide the wickedness up till the record: ing angel can't find any to set down against any of us!" “And ain't 1 glad that T hain't dead'" whispered Aunt Martha as they sat at the ringside on eircus day, and she had her hand In that of Uncle Jacch's (Copyright. 1912, the McClure News- paper Syndicate.) MADE A NAME IN WARFARE Regiments of Zouaves Known Fierce Fighters Under Any Flag They Served. hy One of the most interesting class of soldiers of modern times has been the Prench corps called the Zouaves. This body of daring and picturesquely at- tfred fighters reached the heights of its repuation during the Crimean war The Zouave corps at that time was supposed to consist of Frenchmen. 1t was, however, quite international. since many daring young foreigners had joined it, and it was known to include in its ranks men from Oxford, Gottin- gen, and other universities. It is prob- able that a majority of its members were in it more for love of fighting than for any love of country. 1t 18 not strange, therefore, that its fame as a figating body should have spread throughout the world. When our Civil war broke out several corps of Zouaves, wearing the glittering oriental uniforms of the French corps or a modification of them, were formed on both sides. On the Union side the best known was that corps commanded by Elmer Ellsworth, a young officer from New York and the first killed on the Union side. In the Confederacy the most famous corps of Zouaves was called the “Louisiana Tigers.” While i American military life the Zouave uniform has practically disap- peared, in France the Zouave name and uniform stlil survive—Harper's Weekly Perfectly Clear. Many maintain that one should al ways have in mind a clear idea of that which he wishes to attain; conse- quently, the inexperienced, seeking ex- perience, will be grateful—perhaps!— for a definition quoted by Mary Tay- lor Blauvelt in her book of essays, In Cambridge Backs.” When Goethe was a very young man nerience was, and got this informa- tion: “Experience {8 properly what an ex- perienced man experiences in exper- encing his experiences.” Eyes Seldom of Equal Power. That one eye has usually better vision than the oth~r is the inference from experiments conducted by Dr. |Shepherd Dawson of London. Yet one leye is never better than both used to- ]gelher. Trained observers whose vis- ion was normal fornd that the power of discriminating with both is keener than when the better eye is used alone—that they were more certain in their judsments, which form more rapidly than the uni-ocular judgments.
