:- 's "of the dueling
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
(CopriKht. 1911, by American-Journal-Examiner.)
Within the last few weeks two. wives
of men who are regards J as manly men.
and both In comfortable one In Affluent
- cij cumstanies, have left their- humea
with, or tn uearcli
ol. their affinities.
Both families be
long to the educated
classes, and both
women were moth
ers. ,
In each caae the
husband has taken
the matter with
seeming philosophy,
confessing the right
Of the wife to seek
her happiness In her
own way.
This attitude of the
ffr7W modern man- in such
Situations is not as
that
Ing and
blood-Hpilllng cava,
lier of olden times, but It Is more sensible.
There, Is nothing gained when a man
or woman wanders from the fold of
matrimony (nto the pastures, where
affinities browse. In adding murder or
suicide to the tragedy.
Love once dead is not restored by the
gun, the sword or the poisonous draft.
Nothing Is gained by killing the faith
less wife or husband of the affinity or
one's self.
Revenge Is frequently obtained by al
lowing the people who break all laws
to possess each other to live to be sorry
they succeeded.
There have been innumerable cases of
this kind in America.
One man .has JuBt taken his fourth
affinity after putting away his wife and
three other affinities in his search for
the real soul mate. His wife, who con
. sented to the separation and divorce so
soon as she found she was not desired
by her husband as companion longer,
lives quietly abroad, and is no doubt
much better off with her freedom and
life than if she had killed her first rival
and gone to prison or the electric chair.
Yet vfew the tnatter as we will, these
things are terrible tragedies.
When a man and woman choose, each
other as life companions there Is usually
love In the heart of the one or both.
And there is an ideal of happiness
formed In both minds.
The destruction of this ideal, and the
disillusionment of the one who loves, Is
life's greatest misfortune.
Perhaps no one ever wrote more pow
erfully and beautifully on this subject
than Dorothy Dlx, In a description given
In a little story of a wife weeping over
the casket of a husband, who had
brought her life nothing but sorrow.
The wife's mother asked her why she
shed tears at the loss of this faithless
and cruel man.
She answered that she was weeping
for her early dream, for her lost Ideal,
for her happy trust, for her faith, which
bad died a slow death, for her wrecked
happiness and not for the man who hal
died. ,
It would setm since marriage Is so seri
ous a step. nl the breaking of marriage
bonds so serious a move, that educated
and sensible ' men and women might go
about the repairing of the first fractured ;
link with as. much care and skill and I
anxiety -as they use In mending a punc
tured, tire of a motor car, or the supply
ing new. batteries to an electric light
plant. "
The latest wife to seek happiness with
an affinity seems to have no complaint
to make of her husband other that that
they did not . care for the same kind of
amusement.
So she sought the society, of a youth,
her Junior by two or three years, whose
tastes were similar.
And she forgot her husband, her chil
dren and her vow to take the man she
married for better and for worse, and
has gone forth " to find entertainment
with her lover.
When this husband and wife ftrt dis
covered their tastes diverging, why did
not each yield a point and cultivate the
other's ideals of diversion and amuse
ment? If the wife had taken up outdoor
sports sufficiently to give her husband
the feeling that she enjoyed his society,
If the husband had shown his wfe
enough regard to accompany her at time
to the festivities dear to her feminine
heart, the tragedy might, have been
averted.
When men and women set forth on any
business enterprise that necessitates sacri
fice of time, strength and. money to bring
It td a successful - issue they do not
throw it aside at the first obstacle.
Why should they neglect the busln
of marriage by not being willing to work
and wait for good results when they
meet hinderances In the path to hap
piness? Marriage Is the most important busi
ness of the world.
It should be studied as a science In
stead of being treated like an episode.

"Money Talks"
.. t By WEX JONES.
Money talks in many, voices; money talks in many a measure;
To one seductively it sings the siren song of pleasure;
T.- one it peels of power; to one it croaks of greed;
And sad the fate of all of those who give it too much heed.
Listen to the call of money listen through the busy years
And no other voice can ever reaqh your unaccustomed ears.
The still, small voice of conscience can never stir the soul
Which the louder voice of money Is urging to its goal.
You will heed no call of honor, if you' heed the call of pelf;
You will heed on call of country. If you heed the call of self;
Money talks tn many voices if you give it too much heed,
'You will hear no other accents than the voloe of gold and greed.
. The Thing to Do
II
A Petition
Tormer Senator Eepew. at the Univer
sity dub s retent dinner In Washington,
said of a certain reform;
"As I take my farewell of politics I
would tell my reforming friends that
they are going about this business In
a wrong way. I would refer them to
Grant's remark about the stream.
"When Grant was president a south
erner came to see him about an appro
priation to have a certain stream
dredged.'
" 'Let's see,' said Grant, 'didn't I cross
that stream?'
'You certainly did, Mr. President.
feaid the southerner.
"Grant unused a moment, chewing his
cigar- Then he said:
'Look here, why don't you macadam
ise Itr "
Please, dear Mummy, listen to me.
Can I have the dirty-faced boy to tea?
He lives in the little toyshop street.
.And we laugh to each other when we
meet.
I wanted to speak, but Nurse won't Stop
And really he s only dirty on top!
Nurse ays "No," because she says
Dirty-faced boys have ugly ways.
And if 1 go asking that sort of boys.
They'll eoll my books and break my toys.
But I turned round and said to Nurse,
"If dirty Is ugly, greedy is worse.
And if I invlied my boy, of course.
I should want him to ride on my rocking
horse, And run the trains on my railway line.
And Play with my soldiers and all that's
mine.
And if tie did break the things that wind
I'd try to pretend I didn't mind."
Deareet of Mummies, you know what I
mean.
For you Ilka all little boys, dirty and
clean.
Bay I can have him. Mummy, do!

Why don't you tell that father of yours
to wuke up, and to wake up right now?
Pnn't quarrel with him; don't pout
when he takes your money as If It were
his; do not sulk when he refuses to let
you go somewhere that your mother says
Is perfectly proper for you to go.
None of these things will do the least
bit of good.. They really do harm., A
man like that loves to see you made un

ask your mother what she think

Don't let your father know that you
ask her; It might get her into trouble,
but ask her Just the same. Hhe doesn't
know as much about business as you
do. but she does know ahout the- world,

Let him boss ths cat and take It out

' The longer you encourage him In his

How WU1 It Be?
By ELLA WHEKLEK WILCOX. .
How will it bo whsn one of us alone
Goes on that Strang, last journey of the soul.
That voyage on which no comradeship Is known?
Will our dear sea sing In tho old sweet tone.
Though one slU stricken where Us billows roll?
' Will space be dumb, or from the mystic pole
Will whisperings of love be backward blown?
When our united lives are wrenched apart,
And day no more means sweet rompauionbhlp;
When fervent night and lovely, languorous dawn
Are only memories to one sad heitrt.
And but in dreams fond hisses burn the lip,
Dear God, bow can this same fair world move on?
