The ideal husband answered all the
questions and did all his tasks without
util.
Are you the husband every wife
should have? If so:
Can you give the day of the week
you were married on and Its fu!! date?
Do you know when your mother-in-
law's birthday is?
When you luft lor the office this
morning what kind of dress was your
wire wearing?
Can yon say offhand what tbe mar-
set prices of eggs, butter, cheese,
meat and bread are?
Do you know the cheapest shopping
places in yo.ur neighborhood?
One of the tests the husbands had
was as follows: The wives stood behind
a curtain and placed one hand above [
it. Each husband was required to pick j will

GREAT TRIBUTE TO WORKER
Carlyle Recognized Worth of Teller
Who Labored for His and Others'
Dully Bread.
Venerable to me is the hard bund;
crooked, course, wherein, notwith-
standing. lies a cunning virtue, in-
defensibly royal, as of the scepter of
this planet. Venerable, too, la the
,-ugged face, all weather tanned. be-
u>iled. with its rude intelligence; for
it is the Cue of n man living manlike.
O. but the tone venerable for thy
rudeness ami even because we must
pity as weB as love thee! Hardly ea
treated brother! For us eras-thy bach’
so beat; for ns were thy straight
limbs and Ungers so deformed. Thou
wort oar conscript, on whom the lot
foil, and fighting par bettfos wert so
zrred. Fter in thee, too, lay a God
created form, bat it was not to he un-
folded; iacrustad most It stand with
the thick adhesions and defacements
off labor; and thy body, like thy soul,
is not to know freedom. Tet toll on,
toil on; thou an in thy doty, be oat
of it who may; thou toilest for the
altogether indispensable—for daily
breed.—Carlyle

Do you ibake a point of always
praising your wife when she has
cooked anything more daintily thus
usual?
IX> yon tell her she’s the best wife
in the world?
Have you ever acknowledged to her
that you are wrong and she is right
in any argument?
If you can answer these questions
satisfactorily then you cun put your-
? 3lf down as the perfect husband—ac-
cording to this interesting and in-
structive test, at any rate.
IS HOME LESS ATTRACTIVE?
Every Member of Family Nowadays
Seem to Find Entertainment
Elsewhere.
Burglar Had Paid Hie Visit.
Some time ago Brown said to
Smith, “1 envy you. You come Is
contact with all kinds of men. You
actually know and talk to burglars
and other criminals. All I know
about them i^ what I read or imag-
ine abpot 'SWei. Now, the next time
you meet a good burglar I want you
to send him to me. Give him a card
to me and tell him I win pay bis car
fare and expenses. 1 want to talk to
him and see how criminals differ from
other men.”
Smith promised to amid along the
next good specimen of a burglar that
came bis way and forgot all about
the matter until some weeks later be
received this letter from Brown:
“Toor friend came, hot 1 bud not
expected him profess itumlly. If you
will tell him to bring buck the family
pinto and Mn^. Brown's jewels you
and Y will resume social rotations."
T^ie average American home seems
to b» losing its attraction for the
household. Anna Gladden writes in the
New Orleans Times-Pieayune. The
home is frequently only a place in
which to sleep and eat. The chil-
dren coming home from school stop
at home long enough to deposit their [
books and go off in pursuit of enter-
tainment. The mother entertains her
visitors by chopping or visiting the
picture show. The evening callers are
treated to a musical entertainment or
a theater party. The cull of outside
attraction is string. However, the
home should have its attractions and
bo satisfying to both old nod young
in the household. When the buck yard
has been transformed from an ash
heap and a tin can pile to a plot of
flowers; when ugliness in fence and
outbuildings has been covered with
vines; when window boxes add a
touch of nature to the house and grass
covers the lawn, aud when this
Is done by tbe members of the house-
hold who find pleasure in the task,
the home will hnre increased attrac-
tion and the household will want time
to linger and enjoy the development
from day to day.
On Tuesday evening there
be a wrestling match,
participated in by well known
wrestlers, this is to be followed
by vaudeville features.
The trip to the San Jacinto
battle grounds will take place; aprsassnass1
on Wednesday.
Thursday night a boxing
contest will take place, followed
by vaudeville. In all of these
entertainments the viailing
ladies will be expected to parti*
cipate. Numerous receptions
will also he given for their en-
tertainment.

"The American man is the moot
imtlmwstal mas is the world”
The speaker was an actress who for-
sook tke stag* to become an interior
decorator of the palaces of New York
mUUonaires.
“Tke American man." she contin

How to Keep Young.
The beet way to keep yonng Is to
associate, as fur as possible, with ev-
erything: and everybody tt-t is new
and yonng. Both men and women get
old by slicking to old ways, thinking
oM thoughts and always looking back
to. the past.
Look ahead if you want to koep
ydang. Youth always thinks of what
it>is going to do in the future and
forgete th« laiiures of the peat. It is
not the ’go-ahead" men who sgo rap-
idly; it is the men who stick in old
rats snd follow out kmg-estshiished
rales and methods. Constant change
and variety may be said to form one
of the great secrets of youthfulness.
A- woman should make a point of
out as much as possible.—
