CHICAGO. ? According to Prof. Fred
trick Starr, of the University of Chi
cago, many modern husbands ur
closely Mated to that pride of the
.Missouri farmer, the jack. By his rt*
soiling, marriage Is now a mere inci
dent and not an event or custom that
tins become so prevalent that It Is co ?
sldered a necessity.
"The modern husband in many in
stances," says Prof. Starr, "looks up
on married life as a Joke. The way
they run around, having a gay ol
time Is something terrible. Some of
them have about as much sense of
lesponsiblllty as the average Jackass.
I may be old fashioned, but I believe
when a man marries he ought to be
glad. This thing of leaving wives at
home while the lord and master is ou
on a high old time is disgraceful.
"The popular songs of the day sho-^
with what disrespect many husbands
icgard their home ties. Just think of
a lot of husbands laughing at these
two songs: "I Love My Wife, but Oh,
You Kid," and' My Wife's Gone to the
Country, Hooray. Hooray!' This
shows the way the modern husband
regards his wife's vacation. He's
glad she's gone."
"What effect do you think such
rungs have upon the public mind?" h
was asked.
"Effect? There can be no further
effect." he replied with emphasis,
"Such songs are the expression of a
condition already existing in the pub
lic mind. There is no getting around
that. These songs cannot but cause
disrespect for the marriage tie and
the frivolous attitude toward home life
for these already appear frequently In
the makeup of the modern man."
The professor paused to read the
lines of the song. "I Love My Wife,
but Oh, You Kid.*' He repeated
"Pshaw, isn't that disgusting? And I
understand that it is being widely
sung and applauded in many of our
best theatres. Awful! The mental
condition they reveal Is to be consid
ered seriously.
"I say down with the faithless hus
band. Men are getting too frivolous
and inconsistent. The sanctity of the
home Is getting to be a thing of the
past. Too many meu think it is the
height of enjoyment to run around
with some giddy girl, while their
wives are at home attending to the
babies."
Prof. Starr, who has made an exten
slve study of psychology. Is a bach

JOHN BUNYAN.
The Village Marshal, watchful
v.ight, was bound to hold his Job
down right. He saw John Bunyan
running loose, and put him in the
calaboose. Now John, the tinker,
had renown for Jarring up the little
town, and all the local sages said
tha' he would never die In bed. But
when he found himself in soak, he
said: "The sporting life's no joke;
here's where I cut it out and strive
to show the world that I'm alive."
And in that dark and dismal den he
s&t, with paper, ink and pen, and
wrote the book that people hold as
being worth its weight in gold. The
Job was hard: in cells beneath they
beard the grinding of his teeth; wheu
e'er he wrote a sentence wise, he
bad to stop and swat the flies; the
grub was poor, the water foul, the
Jailor sombre as au owl; the jail was
full of dirt and dust, the chains he
wore were brown with rust. Yet
through it all, by hook or crook, he
toiled and wrote his matchless book!
Ot authors of the present day. whose
books are dry as bales of hay, who
grind "best sellers" by the ton, which
last from rise to set of sun. who
roll in comfort and ice cream, dic
tating Rtories by the ream, try Bun
yan's plan ? it may avail ? and write
a masterpiece in jail. ? Walt Mason.
And moreover, because the preach
er was wise he still taught the peo
ple knowledge; yea, he gave good
heed and sought out and set in order
many proverbs. ? Ecclesiastes, Chap
ter 12?5.
"It is up to Judge Lyons to fire
Shattuck forthwith. If ho does not
the attorney general will order hiiu
to do it." ? Valdez Prospector.

FOUND A PERMANENT
CURE IN CUT1CURA
' " I had eczema on my hands for about
?even years oud during that time 1 had
u?cd several ro-cjuIiki
remedies, together Kith j
physicians' und ciruR
jrists' prescriptions. Tho
disease wan so bad on
my hand* that I could
lay a Klate-poncil in ono 1
of the cracks and a rule
i. plac?>d across tho hand ;
would not touch tho ,
pencil. I used , -
, Skin Lotion,
\ \/ / nemeay ana
w others externally but I
did not us? any internal remedy, and
while some Rave partial relief, nono re
lieved as much a* did the flrxt box of
Cuticura Ointment, I made a purchase
of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and
my hands were perfectly curi>d after two
boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one
cako of soap wero used. I now keep
them on hand for sunburn, etc., and use
Cuticura Soap for shaving. I could write
a gnat deal more in reference to my
cure but do not want to take more of
your time. William H. Dean, Newark,

CHILD SUFFERED
With Sores on Legs. Cured In
Two Weeks by Cuticura.
"My little daughter suffered with
Bores on her legs all last summer. Her
feet were sore, too, and she couldn't
wear her shoes. I think she was poisoned
by running through weeds but the doe
tor said it was eczema. I tried several
remedies but failed to find a cure. Then
I sent for Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment which cured her in two weeks.
I find Cuticura the best I ever tried for
any kind of sore and I hope I shall never
be without it. Mrs. Gertie Laughlin.
