Do Not Lose Your Poise
BY DOROTHY niX
■ Not long ago a
man who did the
housework for his
family killed him
self because the
monotony of lits la
bor was more than
could bear.
Women have a
greater endurance
than men, and :hey
seldom take the
suicide route out of
the kitchen, hut
comes a time in
every woman's life
when, after having
swept the same floor
a million times, and broiled a billion
of steaks and onions, and darned a
trillion pairs of socks, she goes crazy
with the sameness of the treadmill
in which she goes round and round,
day after day, week after week, year
after year.
The monotony of domesticity gets
on her nerves and she begins to hate
her home, hate her husband, hate her
children, hate all the principles that
she has held fast to all of her irre
proachable life. For the moment she
has lost her poise and her perspec
tive. For the time being she is insane,
and liable to commit any folly.
I have before me a letter from such
a woman. She says that she has a
good, kind, well-to-do husband, who
loves her and is generous to her. She
has a home and four grown-up chil
dren. but she wants to leave it all,
an'" she writes:
A Pathetic l/ettfr
"I am tired of it all. lam tired of
housework. I am tired of sweeping.

TO PUT AN END TO ALL
SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
Specialist'* Advice to I nitio* Who Have
Been Deceived and Disappointed
Thousands of ladies and even young
girls have learned to their sorrow that
it does not pay to trifle with hairy
growths on the face and arms by try
ing to remove them with worthless
pastes, powders and liquid depilatories
that smell awfully and hum like mad.
There is. however, a simple, inexpensive
treatment which never fails to remove
all trace of superfluous hair absolutely
without pain or injury to the skin or
complexion. It was put on public sale
by a well known society woman who
found that it entirely destroyed all
trace of her own growth, after all else
failed. In a surprisingly large number
of cases it has killed the hair roots so
that the hair has never returned. If
you have tried all the advertised de
pilatories in vain and want sure, quick
results, get it from Kennedy's LJrug
Store or any up-to-date druggist or de
partment store. Signed Money-Back I
guarantee comes with every package. !
Ask for it by name. "Mrs. Osgood's
Wonder." Let me caution you. how
ever. not to apply Mrs. Osgood's Wonder
to any hair you do not wish totally de
stroyed.—Advertisement.

Spend Your Holiday
on a Western Ranch
•
Out in the ranch country of the
West, around Sheridan Wyoming, or in
the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming,
where Buffalo Bill founded the town
of Cody, the practice has grown for
the good ranch people there to provide
for summer boarder* and I don't know
any more Interesting and pleasurable
way of spending one's vacation with
the wife and children, than to go out
on one of those ranches, and ride and
fish for trout, (great Ashing out there)
and eat good, plain, substantial food,
and sleep—my! how one does sleep
after days spent exercising in that
wonderful mountain air. This "Ranch
Vacation" Is a novel Idea, but very
easy to accomplish, for I can tell you
all about what you can do and how
to do it and what it will cost and what
you can get and all about it. Just
write and let me suggest a plan for
you to follow. Wm. Austin, General

and dusting, and washing dishes. I
* am tired of being a wife. Tired of
s being a mother. I have given twenty
- six years of unremitting service to my
e family. Now I want to give some-
thing to myself, and I am going to
study bookkeeping and go into an
a office to work. My husband and chil
e dren think_.lt outrageous and dls
graceful for me to go out into the
world to earn money when my hus
band is willing and able to support
J me. hut haven't I some rights In the
matter? Haven't I a right to do as I
l like?"
e This is simply a typical case of the
* woman driven temporarily Insane by
i" the dull monotony of her life and
i ready to run amuck among all of her
i cherished household gods and smash
' them Into smithereens. And there
1 are many others suffering from the
. same form of hysteria. When a mid-
P dleaged married woman suddenly de
cides that her mission is elevating
i the stage instead of raising babies, or
* she takes to writing mash notes to a
matinee hero, or she elopes with her
chauffeur, it Is because she has gone
stark, staring mad from dullness.
And the remedy is change. What
these women need is not to break up |
their homes, but to get away from i
them for a little while. They need
to go away among strangers, where
they will not see a single face they
know for six months, and where they
will not even have a letter from home.
By the end of that time they would
be pining for their own cook stoves
and dusting caps, and they would be
holding up every other woman they
met and telling her that they were
married to the handsomest, cleverest,

QUARRY
Bu JOHN A. MOROSO
Copyright, 1913. by Little, Brown St Co.
Molly Brynn lifted her right hand
high In tbe air in the unconscious sa
lute of ancient times.
Stripping himself of great coat and '
goggles and tossing them into his ma
chine. John Nelson hurried to her.
j "I saw yon when you started down ]
mountain." she snld. Her face
was pale. "I did not know whether j
you would make 1t safely.*' Her left
hand went to her heart.
His beard was splashed with clay.
In his eyes was the effulgence of the
stars. He had come, perilously cours
ing np and down the mountains, to
nsk her aid In buying Christmas gifts, i
I in the shops of the little city nestling j
! below tliem. for the little children of |
| the poor in the Dark Corner. He was j
the unconscious Instrument of one of
the beatitudes. "Blessed are the poor." i
Tbe look in her eyes, the trembling ;
I of tbe band she extended to him, the |
quaver in her soft voice, tbe quick <
flush that replaced the pallor of her I
i cheeks as she read the love message f
| in his look, gave him the hint that she j
expected his tongue to utter the
| thoughts that filled bis mind.
But be held back tbe words. He
! was still master of his tongue, but no
j man with love in his heart, in every
! fiber of his being, can master his soul, j
IHe held up a band to her. She took j
j it and started to step from her car.
| Her beel slipped on the wet running
board and she fell against his breast
Her bead lay on his shoulder and,
with the world far below tbem and
tbe clouds lowering about them, their
lips met in the kiss of betrothal.
With Molly Bryan's kiss on his lips
and sweetening his life. Nelson found
himself on the other side of the cbnstn
he had shrunk from with dread in his
heart.
The thought that his stanch friend,
the old convict, was off on the hunt
for the man he dared not himself seek
brought him a measure of assurance
for his still troubling conscience.
Then, too, Molly took total posses
sion of him and banished from bis
mind all concern except the moment's
concern. He felt the warmth of her
sweet woman's body and its 90ft pres
sure against bis. the burn and tingle
of her flushed cheeks.
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were anxiously '
awaiting them when their machines '
swung into the hr>ad road leading
through the estate mansion
which crowned it
"Here's Bnnta Clans* Molly shouted
to her parents. "And I am Mrs. Santa
Claus." She clasped his arm and clung
to It as they made their way up the
piasea steps.
"Mother—father." she said. "John
and I love each other. He has asked
me to be his wife."
"May I have her for better or for
worse?" he asked the parents.
Mr. Bryan's face had paled. "You
must talk with her mother," he said.
"Will you join me in the library after
you have been to your room. Nelson?"
The wind puffed down the £reat
chimney and filled Mr. Bryan's library
with the fragrance of burning oak and
pine. The logs crackled above their
deepening ashen bed. The night had
come, and the well shelved room was
snug with the glow from the hearth.
"Nelson," began Mr. Bryan, leaning
forward in his armchair, "yon are ask
ing us for the best we have—our only
daughter. Are you worthy?"
"1 hare tried to be."
"You must know that yon have been
the subject of gossip because yon hare
lived as a hermit."
"Yes."
"And you have admitted that there is
something in your own life which you
do not feel that 1, Molly's father,
should share." ,
most distinguished appearing men In ]
tl i world, and while they didn't wish ;
to brag about their own children, |
there certainly was something most I
extraordinary and different from other
young people about their sons and
daughters.
Tradition and custom have led us j
to the belief that a wife and mother
can never get enough of her husband
j and children, and that all the fun !
; and excitement that she wants in life !
is just working for them and seeing i
them enjoy themselves. This is an ]
admirable theory. The only trouble '
with it is that it isn't true. Nobody, I
not even mother, is that selfless. We
all want something for ourselves, and
mother Is no exception to the rule.
The Inevitable
No matter how much a woman |
loves her hurband, she gets bored
stiff with his society If she has it in |
unbroken doses. There comes a day ,
when she loves sight of his virtues |
and can see nothing hut his faults I
and peculiarities, and when she feels
that she would scream If she had io
hear him tell over his pet story an
other time. It Is her hour of satiety, j
I when she wonders what made her
i marry him, and the price of railroad |
fare to Reno.
No matter how much a woman wor- i
ships her children, if she has to be
with them continually they fret her i \
nerves raw. and then comes an hour]
when she has to smother an impulse
to keep from choking the baby in its I
cradle, and the only person on earth I
she envies Is an old maid In a bache
lor apartment house where nothing I
but cats are allowed.
"I know it"
"Have you anything to hide from me
now?"
The eyes of the younger man stared
into the fire. The dancing flames cast
grotesque shadows on bis bearded face. '
"I cannot give you my confidence."
he replied. "I cannot, now."
"Nelson, my measure of a man is by
bis Integrity and his Intelligence," Mr.
Bryan urged. "Ton have brains and
industry. Whether you were a found
ling at birth or a child of the streets in
the north will not weigh heavily in my
decision." His voice was kindly and
assuring.
"My boy," he said, "you must open
your heart to me. I cannot let mv
daughter undertake to share your life
with her eyes blindfolded. Tell her.
Tell her everything. She is of the
stamp of her dear mother. She is a
young woman, but a brave and serious
one. ,She would countenance nothing
I that would bring a touch of dishonor
I to her or to her parents."
j "Tell—her?" gasped Nelson.
| "Yes."
i Molly entered the library, coming 1
' from her mother, radiant with smiles. I
She paused as she saw the pallor of j
her lover's face and the serious look j
upon her father's.
"What Is the matter?" she demanded, j
Mr. Bryan rose from his chair.
"I shall leave you together for
awhile," he said as be left the room.
"John!"
With his name on her lips she went
to him, and be took her in his arms
and kissed her.
I "Let us go outside on the piazza." he
said. "I feel as though 1 should choke
In here. There is something 1 must
tell you."
She turned from him and flung wide
I a deep window. The night scowled at ■
them as they left the warm and light- t
ed room for the rain and the dark. \
"1 have something to tell you," he j I
repeated.
"That you love me?" she asked.
"Love you?" be repeated. "My heart
Is torn with love for you."
"Nothing else matters."
She crept to bis side and clasped hi* »
hands in hers.
"Your father wants to know who 1
am." be told her.
"I know who yon are. You are John
Netson, my lover."
"He wants to know whence 1 came."
"Prom heaven—to me," she answer
ed, with a little langh of content as
she kissed him.
"Prom prison." he said "I am an
escaped convict. 1 was sent to prison
in the north for life. I was convicted
oT'-
"I know what yon were convicted
of," she whispered, smothering his lips
with her own. "You were convicted of
being too kind and too good to your
fellow man. Christ was so convicted."
The words fell solemnly from her
lips, and they startled Nelson.
"I was convicted of murder." he
said, "of murder in the second de
gree. I wns Innocent I was sentenced,
an Innocent man. to life in prison. My
name is James Montgomery, and the
police seek me."
She fell back from blm for a mo
ment the shadows enshrouding her.
But she did not leave him for long.
Her arms were again about his neck,
and her lips turned to his.
"I knew that you had been hurt by
eotne one or something." she whisper
ed. pressing her cheek against bis.
"You do not n«»ed to tell me of your
Innocence. 1 shall share your sorrows
and your joys rntil death do us part." t
"I have no moral right to marry t
yo«," be said. I
"But you shall take me for your i
wtfts," she cried. "I shall live in the J
i
mountains with yon and neter leave i
yonr side, and if they come for yon t
they shall never take you as lone as I •
have a breath of life. They cant
hare you, my sweetheart You ax* ]
mine until death."

Sunbury, Pa., July 28 —With twelve
big weasels, one of which had two
