IH A ml) The Man Who Forgave His Wife In Illinois Recently a Man Killed His Wife's Affinity Who Sneered at Him Having Been Freed, the Man Has Asked His Wife to Return All Honor to Men and Women Who Forgive and Try to Forget. HV KLLA WHEIXKH WILCOX Every diiy we reail of bad men who neglect utiil maltreat koi'J women. Kvery ay we Fee patient women bear ing w..h unworthy men and forgiving them all the sins 11 in the calendar. Now and then we hear of a good man who forgives an unworthy woman. Down In Illinois such a case has re cently occurred. The wife became Infatuated with an other man, and the husband, thinking only of the best re sults for Ills er ring wife, de manded a promise from the uffinlty that he would mar ry tho woman once she was divorced. The affinity refused and made snecr lns remarks. AV hereupon the husband killed him. Now, having been freed by the Jury, according to the unwritten law, the hus band has anked his wife to return to him and go awuy and begin life over under new conditions. , This man seems to feel the force of the words he used on his wedding day, "To take this woman for better or for worse until deatli do us part.' Ills love for her must have died a pain ful death; but pity has taken Its place, and a high seneo of duty. The man feels reHponsiblo for the future of the woman lie married, and Instead of letting her go the downwurd path, while j lie seeks happiness with some other bet ter woman, he is standing by her side, ready to guard and protect her to the end. It is not iK3Hlble for two people to know absolute romantic happiness after a third person has Intruded upon their domain. When a man and woman set forth In life as lovers and establish a marital kingdom, where tho doves of peace and the love blids build their nests among green trees, good seiife. Judgment, un selfishness and will must be stationed, at Intervals, as caretaker, and the men tal elghboards, "No Poaching," must be made effective to all Idle loafers or thiev ing trespassers who roam about thu domuin. Kvery young couple starts out in married life with un Idea that no temptation, no danger, can assail them. Their romantic love will render them .Immune from danger. Hut as the honeymoon wanes protect ing. Intense emotions which first doml nated their heurts grow Into a calm af fection, and many a little sliding panel In the heart Is left unguarded the little panel of vanity, the little panel of self Indulgence, the little panel of love, of power and through the small doors enter discord, danger and despair, unless the caretakers are on guard, ready with gun und sword to drive them off the domain of peace and happiness. There are few women so completely and absorbingly In love with their hus bands that they are Insensible to the ad miration of other men; and few men capable of a love so masterful that they turn away unmoved when temptation looks them In the eyes. Hut there are many women, thank Clod, and some men, w ho love enough and who have sufficient common sense and good taste to turn admiration Into respect, and to say to temptation, "Get thee behind me, satan," and so keep their own beau tiful kingdom of romance free from de vastating marauders. And those men and women go down the western slope of life together know tng a happiness and a peace and a love Impossible to be understood by those whb have yielded to every passing whim of the mind, to every call of the sense, to each magnetic influence. And only such know real happiness. After there has been a trespasser on te domain, after good sense, unselfish ness or will has slept at the post of duty and let in the poachers, life can never again know the old white, strong, clear light of perfect peace, perfect confidence, absolute trust. But it can know calmness, freedom from pain, and gratitude that the devas tation was not greater. So this man who has taken back his wife will have many peaceful hours, many moments of satisfaction that he did no send his erring woman on a down ward path alone; and so many women who havo taken back faithless and un kind husbands enjoy a pale second honeymoon, basking1 In the dim light of the depleted orb, glad that even that is left to them. And It all means experience, nnd Is all a part of the character building for which mortals are sent to earth. And It Is wholly In accord with the marriage vows, which men and women take so thoughtlessly, and so frequently violate when the times comes to "carry out the promise of taking this man, or woman, "for worse" Instead of "better." All honor to the men and women who forgive and try to forget! And all sym pathy for them, since It Is the law that "sorrow's crown of sorrow is remember ing happier things!"

Home of them If they are poor enough -may murry some of us If we are rich enoug-h but marrying a woman Isn't approving of her. All the married sisters who agree, please hold up their hands thank you the ayes have it. It In many a long day since Kngllsh authors and others, Including our own and. only Henry James, began directing their light and heavy artillery at us, and comparing us to our lasting disadvan tage to tho perfect specimens of woman hood who live their enchanted Uvea on the other side of the pond. They have been firing at us constantly for fifty years or more, but It has re mained for Mr. Dennett to brand us as a sort of Intellectual champagne or Welsh rarebit, to be desired occasionally, but carefully avoided for life's wear and tear. And Mr. Bennett had made such an ex haustive study of us, too! lie had been lit America two day and ten hour when Crruiana Klat-VtriM-k. j German "garden city" advocates have returned from an English trip deter mined to smash the German belief In flat life. It has become a conviction In Ger many that In industrial center apartment , houses are the only possible accommoda- nU.ii, becfcUM f LL expensive aits. But the "garden city" pioneers have Veen con verted by the number of small "single family'' houses in Kngland occupied by Industrial workers. Adolf Otto, one of the advocate of reform, says, that In Berlin alone, ex clusive of the suburbs, there are 3'A),W families lodging In one room each, aud over yj (imllles have only two room each. Munich, the prosperous, has over half Its population housed In single rooms. Dresden and Btrutsburg are showing the way to the rest of Germany by mean of yttrden cities, but thu progress Is slow against Ingrain Gerniuo notions of the necessity of the flat. he pronounced Judgment upon us. Hut he has studied us In I'arl, oh! dear, yes. All of our frothy, freaky specimen who can't be endured ut home, all our artistic temperaments who necessarily have sacri ficed rational everyday living to their studies, alt our Idle rich, Including many of our fashionable divorcees, who couldn't recognize a "lasting" quality, let alone possess one all of these "representative" American types Mr. Bennett ha studied. And that Is all that is necessary, Kh-h! sister, don't say It. Yes, I know that there are some mil lions of us who never saw Tarts, who couldn't voice an epigram to save our lives, wi couldn't "exhaust ourselvea In brilliancy or repartes," because we don't posses any of either article. Millions of ti who keep house, raise our bubles, share our husbands' care and Joys and sorrows, and, according to tho testimony of the men ot our own families who know us best, "wear and last and understand" while there la breath In our bodies. Hut don't whisper It to Mr. Bennett. An Englishman doesn't want to be told anything. If he once determined upon a statement It hold good for time and eternity, world without end. Amen. Tho only woman who could have changed Mr, Bennett' opinion of Ameri can women I that famous bride who cuddled close to her husband, laid her cheek upon hi shoulder, and, looking Up Into hi eye soulfully, queried: "Tell me, dear, I the world roundT" If she had married Mr. Bennett Hut I ulways havo had my doubt about her being an American girl. There must have been a strain of Kngllah blood In her somewhere. Of course, it Is going to be very hard to struggle along under tho stigma of Mr. Bennett's characterization. But then, sisters, we've, heard this sort of impu dence fur moro than some of u would caro to confess, and still we live and move and have our being and manage to secure the lion's share of the love, loyalty and pocket book of that prince of mankind, the American man. Ho let us reconsider any Impulse to shed the life blood ot the tabloid Englishman. Mis l'eity did her little best, you know. Iet It rest there. Lysander John Rebels j ly TIIOMAM TAI'PLIt. On Aunust 7, 1911, (hero died at Graz, Austria, a mun who wo essentially groat, true to himself and to hi culling. HI name was Max Do I.lpman. He vu by birth a Imron. but be preferred not K) use the title, und to live a'.uong hi associates us a mun succcsfcful In his culling. He was the foremost news paper Illustrator In the United Mates, when, in lxtti, he v. us stilcUen with puialysls. Headers recall tills artist's work; that ho producud with his creative bruin und his right hand. Then he becuine paralyzed, his speech was affected, und his right hund and uim became usclu. What did he do V He patiently set himself to work to study di awing ugain with his left hund. THi tusk, this golnij ,0 school to mus ter the other side of his body, while try ing to adjust himself to life with half his body stricken with uselessness, took eighteen month. Then he went back to bis desk again. I'p to the time of his death he worked tttlli the same enthusiasm that Hindu htm dotermlned to conquer his left hand. It is said of him that he made pen aud Ink sketches of more men In public life thun any other living urulst. It is often Impressive to resd whnt men do In affliction. Such stories always move us. W'u are apt to think tliul they belong to other days. But here Is u case that In recent days was going right on hue among us. Mux De Upmun, from the day of his physical misfortune In IMS, wus solving u difficult a task as falls to any man. Hlr Walter Hi-olt hud to face It when, with body broken In health, he under took to wipe oft an Indebtedness of hun dreds of thousand of dollar with bis power of Imagination. Beethoven, abso lutely deaf for a quarter of a century, went on undaunted writing tho music that he could not hear save In the Imagi nation that gave It birth. Laura Brldgman, deprived of nearly all her senses, rose to conquer her limi tation to such an extent that her case, like that of Helen Kellar of today, be came knowu the world over. No writing of Cbarle Dlcken la more Interesting than Is that chapter In his American Notes that relate his Impression of Mis Hiidgmun's attainment, It Is a wonderful privilege to have a body finely uttuned, In splendid condi tion, cupabia of responding to any de mand wo make on It, But we must al ways remember thut back of tho body there Is tha mind, reudy and capable of speal.lug lis message, even though the body .n which it has depended Is sud denly bruised und broken. Men who face affliction and rise su perior to It ure they who rcallxa the supremury of tho mind. If one cylinder of their englnu breaks down In mid ocean they proceed to come In slowly under re duced utuuin. Hut they como ill. First It la easy to learn to depend on culMdo helps, aud to overlook the nUnd power thut Is the one real thing. Max Du Uipumu kept his Ullo of baron hidden, und offered himself to the world on tho Lusts of his genius and attainment us an arllbt. Second-It is easy when affliction, over tukec us to sit down In the wreck of our own body and give up, losing sight of tha very power that make ttie body act namely, the power of the mind. Max De J.lpmtui did not recognize hi affliction, except ra far us to find In It un liisplratluu. An iiispiiullou to throw it aside, to lorget it, to sit down pati enlly und to begin once more, steadily teaching the left hand that degree of skill und cunning thut affliction had for ever taken away from his wonderful right hand. Third The billboards scattered over the field ot America teach us a bad lesson. We leurn from them, almost unconsci ously, to advertise ourselves In big type. Max De Jipmun, and great men ot his kind, go on quietly, do good work, how. ever they may be forced to accomplish it, and let the work speak for Itself. No young American boy or girl who gruspB tho essential fact of this man o success and struggle, can fail to realise that a treat man Is a simple man who regards tha body as the servant ot toe 1 1 1 1 1 d V
