-JUST CHUMS"
"Hie trouble with half or nine !
tenth* of the people who are stam-l
pedin g for the divorce courts is that j
the ordinary husband and wife do
not make chums of each other. The'
wife who mopes around the house j
while her husband pops off fishing is
headed for the divorce court. Go;
romping out in tha woods with him ;
You win then learn that as you both!
get sway fron. the gossip and cheap
conventionalities and insipidities of
people like yourselves, you will grow!
In mind and body and the woman's!
weakness soon appeal to the chival
ry of his strength and soon he will i
begin to help you over the rough
places and by and by his hand will
linger caressingly on your arm andj
the old look will come back to his
tves. and in the sublime hush of the J
forest your voice will become tender
and the thought of a divorce court j
will become a very sacrilege. Dol
not read the romances of life; go
out and feel them. Every man is al
Paul and every woman a Virginia un
til they wander from nature's god and
worship at the shrine' of folly.
When men can and will say to
their wive* "come on, old pel o' mine.
Jet's go to the hillsides where the
scarlet berries hang like drops of
blood from the crimson heart of the
wikiwood." and she will pack up a

THE AIRSHIPS.
The ships are sailing overhead:
th*y ftaat upon til* gale. their wings
and thingumbobs outspread ? and I
shaH let them sail; it is a pleasant
thing to sport above the highest tree,
but this old earh, where I cavort, is
?ood enough for me. The aeroplan
tMs Save averred that it's a joyous
thing, to ride the zephyrs like a bird
that soars on tireless wing; that such
experience is worth, it is not hard
to see; but this old trusty, solid
earth, is good enough for me. It's
?Ice to wta enduring fame, and med
als by the peck: but I consider my
tht frame, and likewise my fat neck,
more useful than awards from throne
or all the kings that be. and this old
enrth. while 1 have bones, is good
enough for me. ? Walt Mason.

In the Atlas mountains and in the
?out h western part of Morocco are val
uable deposits of copper, antimony ,

At St. I?a.v, Cornwall, England, can |
be seen dally the strange spectacle of j
water being retailed in the public |
streets at a halfpenny per pitcher. The
water Is brought in barrels drawn by
horses, though If the inhabitants
cared to pay for the cost of piping It j
would save them a considerable out
lay.
Armored concrete continues to en
large the field of Its application. The
experimental concrete telesrraph poles
erected by one of the great railroads
running between Chicago and the
eastern coast have proved so success
ful that the eomjwny has decided to
extend their use gradually over Its
western lines.
Something unique in the line of n
strike or boycott was recently reported
! from a small town In Burgundy. The

with the medical men's services and
trust to luck to get well.

the little guard of honor who watched

slowly heated to the boiling point of

By treaty foreigners have the right
to buy land anywhere in Morocco, pro
vided the purchase has the sanction of
the local governor. This has been un
certain and possibly hard to obtain,
but by the treaty of Algeclras In 1905
foreigners have the right to buy land
within ten miles of every seaport
Such purchases are not to be taxed by
