Dr. Klrkus wrote In that article of the duty of obedience by wlvea to their himbandx, com men ta' tho Baltlmoro Sun. He took as his text St. Paul's command to women to be In sub jection to their own husbands. He showed that "a good and wine woman not only knows that she cannot escape subjection to her husband, but she knows perfectly well that It Is one of tho best blewilng of her lot. She knows perfectly well that she would be quite degraded If she had married a man to whom she could not really 'kmk up' and whose commands, when eommands became necessary, she would not cheerfully obey." A woman should not only obey her hus band, but do It cheerfully and feel that he is enjoying herself when she does It. If she falls In her obedience she not only Violates a solemn pledge, but she. disobeys the express command of the bible, which most women acknowledge as the highest la. When Queen Vushtl refused to obey the commandment of her husband, King Ahasuerus, tho gravest consequences were apprehended, and the married men around the throne were moved to indignation and greatly disquieted. Mcmucan, one of the even princes of l'ersla, and who waa doubtless married considerably, assured the king that in disobeying her husband Queen Vashti not only did wrung to the king, but also to all the prlnc?s and to all the people that were In all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus. For this deed of the queen, he said, shall come abroad unto all women, o that they shall desplxe their husbands In their eyes when It shall be reported. So grave a peril had to be avoided at all liuinrds, and a decree was written that Vashti should oome no inoro before King Ahasuerus ur.d the king gave her royul estate 'into another, namely, Ksther, who, by the ay, was nn exceedingly beautiful Rlrl. who, while strictly olylng his ma jesty, the king, found means of getting from him everything that she wanted- The nur.il of this Is patent.

"Wives," said tie, In his epistle to the Colosslans, "submit yourselves unto your own husbands its It la fit in the Ird " And even St. I'eter. who was a married man, expressed him self plainly and clearly upon this Im portant subject. "Likewise, ye wives," he aid. "b In subjection to your own hus bands." Nor did he fall to call attention to the fact that the holy women in the old Uju were In subjection to their l.us- WARASH BKAN (RKT1ER KNOWN AS "RUMMER").

There are many men who agree with St. Paul, St. Peter and Dr. Klrkus. but who do not venture to say so at home. In their secret hearts they think women now adays are getting entirely too uppish and that somebody should make them awar of tho fact. Theso poor, downtrodden husliands will thank Dr. Klrkus for his Bermon, and mnny of them probably will mall their wives marked copies In the bopo that their better and stronger halves may be recalled to a sense of duty and bo converted from rebellious Vashtis Into tr.eek and obedient Ethers. Hot on His Own Trail ' The phslclans at the Kings County hos pital are waiting with deep interest to hear Irom a man who left there a day or two ao to go out west to llnd himself. The Ban', whe is suffering from a form of aphakia, cannot recall his own. identity nor Where ho lives. He has merely a vogue and hazy recollection of Ashtabula, O., and br.s gone out there in tha hope that he will meet some ono who knows him and will tell tilm who ho is. This man, who has become a stranger to himself, was picked up by the police on Fulton Street, Brooklyn, about two months ago nnd sent to Raymond Street Jail, charged with vagrancy. He could not give his name or address, cr tell anything about himself, and waa committed as "John Smith." Ho talked so queerly that after a few days he was transferred from the jail to the Kings County hospital for observa tion as to his sanity. The doctors there found that the man was generally sane, but was suffering from a form of aphasia. His memory was a complete blank, and he had become wholly lost to himself. The man was intelligent and of refined manner and speech, and displayed a rational mind as to everything but his own Identity, i Tha hospital physicians became greatly Interest In tho case and talked daily with the man who had forgotten himself think ing 'to stimulate his memory. Their efforts, . however, wero In vain until about a week ago. when the man told Dr. Siebold that a dim recollection had suddenly come to him.' He could faintly recall, he said, hav ing been employed at some time by the United States Steel company. It seemed to him that he hud been on ono of the com pany's vessels plying between Buffalo aail . Ashtabula, O.. but In what capacity he had been employed he could not recall. He had a somewhat clearer recollection of Ash tabula, than of Buffalo, and thought if he went to the former place he would meet friends who would recognize him and bring him back to himself. As the man appeared to be able to take care of himself, he was provided with means to reach Ashtabula, and he left for that plaeo a few days ago. He promised to write to the hospital physi cians as soon aa he had succeeded In es tablishing his own identity and they are looking forward to hearing from him with much interest. The stranger Is about E3 years old. has gray hair and mustache, weighs ICO pounds, and Is five feet nUat Inches In height New York Times
