He had got it into his head that there were other countries to discover, and he was thinking and planning. When be told his thoughts and plans to his wife she put her foot on them. She wanted him to stay home and milk the cow and split the wood and make garden, and she raised such a row about it that he remained and did not get away until after her death. Had she lived on thirty years more where would this country have been? Who would have heard the name of Columbus to wimflmhAr it an hour? T7r would nev er have got farther than the city hall, and he would never have been heard of outside of his own ward. Col ambus came at last and discovered us, and now you find us a nation of 80,000,000 people, but suppose his wife had let him come fifteen years before? We'd have had at least 800 more trusts by this time, and the present financial stringency would have been a thing of the past We'd have also known whether Mr. Roosevelt was going to run again or not And I call your attention to the case of Benjamin Franklin. Mrs. Franklin was a good soul, and no doubt she made the best pumpkin pies in Philadelphia. bat she didn't understand ambitions in a man. Just when Benjamin was forging to the front she wanted him to turn In his tmcks and open a shoe store. She not only wanted it but she Insisted on it, and the hired | girl says they had a regular row. Sappose she had carried her point Sup| pose the great and wise Franklin had I foregone his ambitions and become a boot and shoe man and squeezed No. 4 shoes on to No. S feet We stand appalled at the Idea of it When George Got Married. When George Washington got married he had his future pretty well mapped out He knew what he wanted and was going for it It wasn't a week before his wife began to butt in. She wanted him to become a farmer and go around in his shirt sleeves and with patches on his trousers. She wanted to see him milking cows and pounding oxen and starting off to market with a roll of butter and a dozen of eggs. That was the measure of her ambition, and when George couldn't see things that way there was a coldness lasting a fortnight Great Scott, but suppose that Washington had given in! Suppose he had been a man without an iron Jaw! Suppose he had laid aside his aims and ambitions and gone to raising squashes and oumnkins and gathered a family supply of catnip In the faiU I see the most of yoo are pale faced and trembling at the thought Had ho done so this country would have had no father.

He was a gilt edged patriot from the first Mrs. Hancoch wanted the colonies to be free, but she didn't want John's coattails burned in the doing of it When be started for that meeting in Philadelphia that was to result in a cataclysm she ought to beep him barb. She finally threatened to go home to her mother if he went to Philadelphia, and what was his reply! You may have never read it, as a great many historians have dliberately left it out of their pages, but it has come down to me from an authentic source. He told her just what any patriotic husband should tell his wife under the circumstances. I have a picture of him in my mind's eye as he stood facing her. As she gives him her ultimatum he draws himself up, folds his arms, and, looking down on her with the pride and scorn of a king, he replies: "Then go and be hanged to you!" He went to Philadelphia and signed that declaration and got others to sign it, and you know the result Suppose he had stayed at home and gone huckleberrying instead! When Pulton began working on the steamboat that afterward voyaged on the Hudson and revolutionized the world's transportation. Mrs. Fulton told him that he was wasting his time. She had the idea of the patent washing machine In her mind, and she insisted that he drop his idea for hers. ^ -'-Vi. J* ? 4^ A* ono was at mm iu#ui o&xu ua/ lc uv this. Sbe bad It all figured out how much soap and starch and rubbing would be saved, and as a matter of fact she did haul him off his own work for a week or two. When he went back to it there was a family row, and she wouldn't speak to him for a month. Even when he had finished his boat and she was moving majestically np the majestic river Mrs. Fulton was so mad about things that she denied it was a success. 1 see that chills are running up your backs and your bair standing up at the thought of what this world would hare lost if Mrs. Fulton had been permitted to interfere with her husband's ambitions. We'd have had a washing machine warranted to save 10 per cent of elbow gnease, tart what of the thousands of steamers that come and go?

The Way They Meet and C4a?h and Finally Harmonise. In The Wonderful Adventures of _ M A?? ? Aaovm QjTVY^lo li^ii ii6 11UUI UJO gwvvuuii v? Behna Lageriof by Velma Swanston Howard, is the following pretty description of bow sea and land meet* You ?ee that sea and land can meet in many different waya. In many places the land comes down toward the sea with flat, tufted meadows, and the sea meets the land with flying Band, which piles up in mounds and drifts. It appears as though they both disliked each other so much that they only wished to show the poorest they possessed. But it can also happen that when the land comes toward the sea it raises a wall of hills In front of it, as though the sea were something dangerous. When the land does this, the sea comes up to it with fiery wrath and beats and roars and lashes against the rocks and looks as if it would tear the land hill to pieces. But in Blektnge it is altogether different when sea and land meet There , the land breaks ttaett up into points and islands and islets, and the sea dV videa itself into fiords and bays and sounds, and it is perhaps this which makes it look, as if they most meet in happiness and harmony. Think now first and foremost of the sea.' Far out it lies desolate and empty and big and has nothing else to do but to roll its gray billows. When it comes toward the land it happens across the first obstacle. This tt immediately overpowers, tears away everything green and makes it as gray as itself. Then tt meets stUl another obstacle. With this it does the same thing. And still another?yes, the same thing happens to this oisa It Is stripped and plundered as if it had fallen into robbers' handa. Then the obstacles come nearer and nearer together, and then the sea must understand that the land sends toward it her littlest children. Inocder to move it to pity. It also becomes more friendly the farther in it comes, poOs its waves less high, moderates its storms, lets the green things stay in cracks and crevices, separates itself into small ftrmrwla ami InWs And baoomes fit last bo harmless In the land that little. boats dare venture out upon it It certainty cannot recognize itself, so mild . _ad friendty has It grown.
