lili. DIXON WORKING FOR THE
HOYS' INTEREST.
The season Is at nana when a low
whistle and a mysterious raising of
tho first two lingers of the right
hand will cause any small boy to
glide stealthily around tho corner
and setand set forth In company with
his bare-footed tempter for tho
nearest swimming hole.
"Oh tho old swimmln'-hole! In the
long, hazy days
When tho hum-dum of school made
so many run-a-way,
How pleasant was tho journey down
the old dusty lane
Where the tracks of our bare foot
was all planted so plain
You could tell by tho dents of the
heel and tho sole
They was lots of fun on hands In the
old swlmmln' hole."
The fashionable watering places
may be well enough for tho socially
elect but the rivers and creeks must
servo for tho majority and the ob
servant traveler can testify that tho
old swimming holes have not been
deserted.
Of courso every boy and girl
should learn to swim and most of
them do but sometimes the less skill
ful fall victims to their Inexperience.
Drowning accidents are all too com
mon at this season of the year and
there is scarcely a community in
tho state that does not have one or
more to record during tho summer
season. Last year there were near
ly 500 fatal accidents of this char
acter throughout tho state.
SEPTEMBER IS THE LAST MONTH
FOR SWATTING FLIES
THE CITIZEN CONTEST

and sputa from peoplo 111 with ty
phoid fever, tuberculosis, diarrhocal
affections and many other diseases.
4. Ono fly can carry and may de
posit on our food C, 000, 000 germs.
RULES FOR DEALING WITH THE FLY NUISANCE

In tho majority of cases, these oc
cur In localities whoro It is difficult

cian and every minute is of vital Im
portance when a drowned man is to

A Story of Domestic Love
and Squabbles
By EDMOND L. STANLEY
H'"4-VM,HM"H,,frH
When Bob and Carrie Delafleld were
rnart'letl they went, on returning from
their wedding trip, to their own liouw.
which was very large, containing sev
eral separate suits of rooms. Both
had their Ideas of decoration, and, hav
ing disputed over tho colors for the ln
tcrlor of their bedrooms, they finally
concluded that the bride should direct
tho decoration of one suit, while the
groom should select the colors for nn
other. Tho first suit was to bo the
bride's rooms, the second the groom's.
Sirs. Delnfleld that wns to be cIiofc
for her apartments n very beautiful
shade of green. Bob Delnfleld, who
had no artistic taste whatever, but
thought himself a connoisseur, espe
clally In colors, put his suit In red. It
wasn't even one of those rich reds
which, when put In the right place,
aro often very attractive.
"By Jovel That's elaborate!" said
Bob when he saw his decorations com
plete. "And appropriate," added his
wife, smiling, "for a member of the
fire department"
Since a bride and groom don't care to
occupy separate apartments the couple
agreed that they would uso tho two
suits on alternate weeks. They tossed
a coin for the first choice, and Bob
won. So upon their return from their
wedding journey they occupied the red
suit.
Now, It happened the day after their
arrival that Bob accidentally knocked
a cut glass pitcher a wedding gift
especially cherished by the bride off
a table and smashed it
"Dear!" exclaimed his wife In a
tone of anger. "What abominable
carelessness! I would rather havo
had you break anything In the house
than that pitcher. It wns Mollle's gift."
"Do you suppose I Intended to break
it?" replied the husband, with a fierce
Inflection on the word intended.
"Get nwny!"
Both had started to pick up tho frag
ments, but at this order of his bride
Bob desisted and left the room, slam
mlug the door behind him.
Bob was so infatuated with what he
called the old rose color of his suit that
ho had Induced his wife to order their
dinner there that same day. The
pitcher was broken at noon. Cnrrio
sulked nil the nftcrnoon, and when
dinner waH served her eyes were red,
wblVo on her face was the expression
of an Injured -woman. Only monosyl
lables were spoken at dinner by cither.
This Is a sample of what frequently
occurred during that first supposed to
bo happy week at homo after the hon
eymoon.
On tue beginning of tho second week
they removed to tho bride's suit, each
secretly vowing that should the scrap
py condition continue and they e.v
pected It would they must havo a rest
by temporarily separating.
It was Sunday morning when they
first awoke in their new qunrters. A
bit of sunlight had stolen In through
tho window, faintly illuminating the
room. It seemed to Carrie that she
had been sleeping under tho rustling
leaves of a tree and had awakened to
look upon a meadow robed in tho vcr
dure of tho lovely month of June.
It at once occurred to her that Bhe
had been very disagreeable to her hus
band, and she was heartily sorry for It
"Oh, Bob," she said, "what a horrid
creature I havo beon for tho wholo of
this first week of our homecoming!"
You mean that I havo been positive
ly brutal."
"Well, never mind whose fault it has
been. AVe won't do so any more."
By Jove, sweetheart, I believe 1 like
tho decoration of your suit bettor than
mine, after nil."
"Yours Is very beautiful."
"How lovely it Is of you to say so!
You said when you first saw It that it
was appropriate for a fireman."
"Did I? How mean of mo! I think
It's lovely."
"What a clumsy brute I was to break
that beautiful cut class pitcher you
thought so much of. My carelessness
spoiled a whole week for us our first
week in our beautiful home."
"Novcr mind, dear; we'll make up
for It In tho second. Wo won't speak
n cross word during tho whole week,
will wo'"
"No, wo won't."
They breakfasted In tho green suit,
as they called It, and with every
mouthful exchanged endearments.
That day was a haven of rest to
them after seven days of Irritation.
They lounged about their homo read
ing tho morning nowspapers, putting
llttlo things that needed atteutlon to
rights and giving each other only
words that sounded Uko tho twittering
of mating birds. In tho ovenlng they
went to church, and every hymn, every
note of tha organ, seemed to strlko a
resnonslvo chord within them.
"Oh, blessed seven days!" said the
wlfo tho next Saturday afternoon.
"I'm sorry they are ended, but I doubt
not that tho next soven will bo equally
happy."
"They havo been so delightful that
I proposo wo continue right on In theso
rooms for another week."
"What dlffcrcnco can It mako what
rooms wo occupy? I will not admit
that wo get on better in my rooms
than in yours. Tho first week wo vfaro
tired from having traveled no long.
Besides, that hotel food upset us both."
Now, the husband who lrnd occnslon
ally played poker with his friends was
n great believer In luck. He considered
that they were having n fine run of
luck In tho green milt ntid was very
much opposed to the change. Hut
Carrie was bound to give up to her
husband In the matter, mid when a
wife makes up her mind to do that
nothing can stop her. Bob used every
argument to induco her to consent to
remain In her rooms, but failed. When
he found there was no use to struggle
with her nny longer he gave In.
Sunday morning Bob dreamed that
he was In hell. About him was a lurid
light covering nil the firmament. Sa
tan came to hlin nnd asked him why
ho didn't go to work nt the furnnccs,
nnd when he said ho was tired and
didn't wish to work the iirch fiend
poked him with his pitchfork nnd
woke lilm up. The lurid glare of hndes
dissolved Into n lurid glare In his bed
room. A window shade had been left
up, mid the sunlight was pouring in,
Illuminating the red decorations. Then
Carrie awoke and, sitting up in bed,
shaded her eyes with her hands.
"What nn awful glare!" she exclaim
ed. "1 thought you lowered that shade
last night. I told you to do so."
"I don't remember your telling mo
any such thing."
"I certainly did."
"You didn't."
"I did."
"What's the matter with you this
mornlngV"
"Nothing."
"You're cross ns a bear."
"First cast the beam out of your own
eye and you will see clear to cast tho
mote out of mine."
'I always heard the devil Is good at
quoting Scripture."
He turned over, with a grunt, nnd
tried to go to sleep again, but tho glare
In the room prevented. Tho wifo lay
thinking. Whero was the loveliness of
the past happy week? Their expecta
tions of n renewal were disappointed
on awaking tho first morning. Bob
tossed about for awhile, then got up
nnd took his bath.
Where the devil is the warm water
this morning?" he yelled from the bath
room.
"Didn't I toll you yesterday that the
range fire had gone out?"
"What did you let it go out for? Do
you suppose 11 man wants to batho in
Ice water, especially on Sunday morn
ing?" "Oh, shut up! You'll drive me crazy."
Bob slammed tho bathroom door.
Presently he came out with a razor in
his hand and blood on his chin.
"Cut yourself, dear?" asked his wife.
"Oh, don't 'dear' me. Get mo some
court plaster quick."
She went to the medicine closet for
the court plaster, but since she couldn't
find it at once he hurled maledictions
upon her. Finally she threw tho court
plaster at him, went to her own suit
and shut the door. Bob didn't expect
to see her again for hours. He was
agreeably disappointed. In half an
hour she came out, with nn nugellc
smile on her face, nnd said:'
"Don't you think I'd better have the
breakfast served In my room instead of
yours, dear?"
"No, I don't. You can have yours
served there If you like. I'm going to
eat mine in my own rooms."
"All right, dear. Did you cut your
self badly?"
"Little you care whether I did or
not."
Carrlo after fixing Bob's coffee hand
ed It to him and let go of It before he
had got a hold on It Tho consequence
was that cup and saucer fell to the
table, tho cup was broken and the cof
fee soused over the white linen table
cloth.
Bob buret forth Into a torrent of pro
fanlty, and Carrie, with flashing eyes,
left the table.
Ono hour later Bob, realizing that
tho blessed day of rest that came but
onco 11 week was likely to pass In mis
ery, went to his wifo's room to try for
a reconciliation. Sho was sitting at n
table writing some letters. It seemed
to him that she had left him In hell
and ho had followed her to the garden
of Eden. There was something delight
fully verdant about tho apartment.
Carrie looked up nt him lovingly. Ho
bont down nnd kissed her.
"What tho deuce were we squabbling
about anyway?' he asked.
"I don't know, dear."
"Nor I. I only know I wanted to
kill somo one."
"And I felt as if I would lly out of
my sklu."
Tho next day tho family physician
was called In to see Mrs. Delafleld
and was received In tho red suit. Aft
er giving her somo minute instructions
pertaining to her case ho said:
"Have you otlter rooms In tho house
than these?"
Va Vn- tin von flair, doctor?"
"Becnuso In your condition It will
novcr do for you to occupy these. The
red will havo a very bad effect upon
you. Red will drlvo somo persons to
Insanity."
"How would green do?"
"Tho very thing. Red Is terribly Irri
tating; green Is very restful. If you
liavo n room decorated In green, move
Into It nt once."
"Indeed I will, doctor."
When Bob catno homo his wlfo met
him at tho door and flung herself Into
his arms, radiant.
"Oh, Boh," sho exclaimed, "there's
no more need for us to quarrel 1 1'vo
found out tho cause. It's tho red suit
Tlw doctor has ordered mo out of It.
Ho says tho green rooms aro Just tho
thing for mo. Don't you know wo'vo
always been pleasant with each other
there?"
"Como to think of it, I do."
"Oh, I'm bo glad.
"I expect It's tho red In many cou
ples' Uvea that sots them to quarreling."
There Are
Two Things
which the up-to-dato business man
MUST HAVE in tho handling of his
financial affairs.
1. Ho must have the assurance
that his funds aro
than they could possibly bo In his
own hands, and that his Interests
aro boing looked after moro careful
ly than it is possible that they could
be oven under his own management.
2. In every detail ho must have
tho
possible In order to mlnlmizo tho
friction of his dally routlno of business.
