WIFE IS T Woman Should -A.ss [Rights af A woman signing herself "A Heart- ? broken Wife" writes as follow.-: "Please write something ou the , rights of a wife. Won't you please j try to explain thc disposition of a j man who has never taken hie wife to church, or for a walk, or on a pleasure i trip (although he takes a long one ! himself each year,) who never has a j kind word to say, goes his business ! trips and never kisses his wife, not I even saying good-bye. and says he is j doing his wife a great favor to pay tho grocery bill and house rent. It is a j favor for a woman to stay at home, t raise her babies, and walk tho floor j with them w'hco ill, and no one to over rest the tired arm or Hay a kind word. I have tried to bo a good, true wife and do my duty, and all that I ask ?B a little kindness. What arb a wife's rights? Has she any beyond breathing? What is life for such a woman? I still lovo the father of my little ones, and, DO matter how un kind ho is, always try to find some excuse for him. Please write some thing on this subject. Tho only pleas ure I have on earth is in reading at night, after my little ones are asleep and my hard day's work is over. I shall watch for your answer and shall thank you for it." With mingled pleasure and sorrow I proceed to answer this poor wifo's letter. It is a very sad letter, a let ter that is well calculated to touch the hardest heart. Tho poor woman's loneliness; her perpetual longing for the kindness that does not como; tho tired arms: tho ocaseloss toil for the little ones; tho heart faint at the thought of thc husband's brutal indifference-alto gether it is enough to moisten the eye of tho most stoical of mankind. What sort of man can it be who is able to treat a wifo as this wife says she io treated? Can hebe human? Must not be some sort of monster in human shape? How oan a man, a husband, a fa ther, bo so dead to all deoenoy and humanity as to act tho way this wo man says her husband sots toward her? I wonder if I am wreng in ventur ing tho guess that this partioular wife is herself to blame for the treatment she receives at her husband's hands? 6he says she "still loves" the man, and always "tries to find some excuse for him." ,. In other words, she is too essy with him. It would be a great deal better for all oonoerned if she would assert herr '* a little bit; if she would Btand up in the strength and dignity of her wifehood' and give him a eovere touque keb i pg now rind then. A wife does not want to bo too dooile with a husband like that. She wants to tell him exactly what she thinks of him. She wantft to stand Impoverish Soil Impo verished soil, like impow erished blood, needs a proper . fertilizer. A chemist by analyz j ing tlie soil can tell you what '' fertilizer to use for different .products. If your blood is impoverished your doctor will tell you what you need to fertilize it and give it the ricli, re?l corpuscles that are lacking in it. It may be you need a'tonic, but more likely you need a concentrated fat food, anti fat is th? element lacking in your systein. 'I. - ?hexe is fal?'iood th?t ls *o easily digestea ?ssimi?

The cahier a wife ?9 with a husband liko that, the meaner he will treat her. Meekness and docility are all right in their time and place, but the thing for thc wifo with a thoughtless, indifferent husband to do is to "go for" him in dead earnest with thc sharpest of sharp .sticks. This poor woman should assert her rights -lier rights aa a wife. As a wife she has the right to her husband's protection and love; tho right to a perpetual kindness at that husband's hands; thc right to be treat ed with a. delicacy and tondernesB a thousandfold greater than that with which the florist handles tho rarest flower or thc goldsmith thc most ex quisite gem. Such are the wife'B rights; and when these rights are ignored or for gotten she would not bo at all back ward in letting thc husband know that she fully realizes the situation; that sho quito clearly understands tho faot that she is not getting what be long to her; and that bc must either ohaoge his tactics or get another place in whioh to oat, sleep and play the bruto. It is too much to hope that tho husband in quotion may seo this ar ticle and may bo moved immediately thereafter to do ono of two things treat his wifo botter or go out and soil himself to somebody for a hog?

Welburn. Not Very Easy. The late Patrick ?. Collins, mayor of Boston, studied law at Harvard. A Harvard man said of him: "Collins liked to seo a wifo treated liberally and reasonably. On tho sub ject o? household expenses, I heard him tell a committee of women 0100 about a certain homo missionary movement In this movement every participant was to oontributo a dollar that sho had earned herself by hard work.

The woman smiled faintly. " 'Yon don't know my husband/ sho said." rn? ? - Vanity .Made Ridiculous. In the eariy days of Augusta, Me., when the pe Dpi0 rode about the coun try rn horsenaok, a oertain aristocratic judge, riding into town ono day on hie smart horse, was overtaken by a neighbor a-poorly dressed Irishman, riding-a. .rather rough looking ani mal.

He Got lt Bad. ID a certain LoDg Island town there are tv.o men who are something of lo cal characters. One is known as "Honest John,1' and the other as "Sandworin Joh?." Sometimes ago "Sandworm John" got into trouble. Ho needed a dollar to get him out and he didn't have thc cash. He appeal ed to several people, but no ono secm el anxious to part with that much of tho realm. Finally ho made his way to "Honest John." "John will you lend me a dollar?" he asked. "Wbat for?'' asked the other John. "Never mind what for," said "Sand worm," impatiently. "I want a dol lar and I want it bad." "Want it bad, do you?" queried "Honest John." "Yes, I do want it bad, "rill you lend me one?" John considered a minute or two and finally decided to financier his neighbor through the difficulty. Ile wenv. to his house and returned with a ail /er do',lar wbioh he handed to "Sandworm," who departed rejoicing. Io a short time "Sandworm" came bact. He was a very much provoked man. "John," ho said testily, there's something thc matter with that dol lar. I can't get anybody to chango it for me." i "Why not?" asked "Honest John." "They all say it's bad." "Honest Joon" gave his neighbor a look of infinite compassion aa enc looks a per?on who has not the full use of his senses. "What's the matter with you 'John Sandworm?" " he asked. "You come hero and try to borrow a dollar, and you say you want it bad. And I lend you a bad one and then you aren't satisfied.
