If there is n man on earth to be pitied it is he who is afraid of his wife. There is something" very sad and at the same time a trifle ludicrous about such a case. To see man, who has always styled himself the master, meekly fol lowing the advice and obeying the dic tum of one of the so-called "weaker sex" must do the hearts of some "new women" an infinite deal of good. I doubt, says u writer in the Philadelphia Times, if a woman ever respects a man whom she can twist about her little fin ger or one of those men who are sub servient to her every beck and call, and who acts afraid of her. Neither, on the other hand, do most women like the tyrannical description of spouses. A happy medium is the approved style, but it's very hard to find one of the sort. Men nowadays are either too meek and mild, or else too tyrannical to suit an up-to-diute woman. THE New York legislature at its last session enacted a law which has just gone Into effect, the object of which is to prevent telephone operators from in judicious tulking. The act makes it a misdemeanor for any telegraph or tel ephone operator to divulge the con tents of any message received or trans mitted by him or her In the regular course of business, or for any person to obtain or seek to obtain such informa tion. This statute is an amendment to a law enacted some years ago, which ap plied only to telegraph messages, the telephone being then an undiscovered boon in the custody of the future. A Chicago man is bringing suit against the Order of Foresters for in juries received by being tossed in e blanket. Ills leg was broken and he thinks it will take ten thousand dollar? to mend it comfortably. While the in jury resulted in a purely accidental manner it was nevertheless brought about by the reprehensible "hoss play' so frequently indulged in by asinine members of "secret" societies. Such "work" should be left to the hazing so cieties of the colleges. So MANY sheriffs in the west and south have lately added bloodhounds to their force of criminal trackers thai the price of the animals is increasing, and the raising of them is becoming quite a business, notably, perhaps, in Kentucky. One hundred dollars is said to be an average j>rice for a good blood hound pup now. AN aged couple of Kennebec, Me., re cently bad a serious disagreement and a little later got a divorce. But living' apart after living together so many years threw everything so out of joint, and made both so lonesome and miser able, that they made up in a very short time and were remarried. AN Oconto (Wis.) farmer, failing to get un offer for his load of potatoes, dumped them into the river, whereupon he was arrested and mulcted fifteen dol lars for the fsiet. F.vidently a man ear not do as he listcth with his own spucb In Oconto. INDIANA is taking steps to hold N mideontinent exposition in the year 3900 as a centennial celebration of the organization of Indiana as a territory of the I'nited States, emhrncingat thai time all of the northwest beyond Ohio The territory was born July 4,1800, and Cien. W. 11. Harrison, the future presi dent, was its go\ernor for the next eleven years. The state was admitted in Is 10. Tiiey are tedi: T u good joke on Gov. O'Feri'all down in Virginia, it seems that on the day the Texas legislature passed the act prohibiting prize fight ing lie sent a telegram of congratula i ion to Gov. Culberson, and that on that very day a big prize fight took place in Jackson City, Va. A PECULIAR, Puritnn-liko sentence was imposed on three offenders in Nor ristown, Pa., n few days ago. They were accused of assault and battery, and were released on their promise to accompany their accuser to church on each of the twelve next succeeding Sun days. A WOMAN station agent on a Cali- | fornia railroad successfully stood off two robbers with a revolver the other | day. If all male officials were as well- j plucked, there would be fewer station j and train robberies. It takes the "new" j woman to get the "drop" on male factors. . iIT* D / ->* l vC c. v Aj Picture Books K ft? —Other Specialties for the Holida • f|f |ll| f| • O ftetiSSSSSSw. iS™ jSpf* " ' G' rill Sil,!
