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!" Copyright, 1911,

For our final sentence has been passed
upon us, our doom pronounced.

EiiKllshwomait who runs a mental vivi
section Institute when he Is at home, and
who does nut wish to Rut out of practice
while ho Is studying Americans f rum an
armchair has tiiKKcd, classified and Im
paled us.
Not for his own collection, not even a
sample specimen, oh, dear, no! Mr. Hen-
net t Is pronounced In his preferences. He
la also very frank.
I.lnten to this epitome of us,, oh! Amer
ican feminity, and then tell me If tire
be not reason fnr us to beat upon our
breasts and pour dust and ashes upon our
heads,
"If I wanted to spend a half hour, a
half day any casual lennlli of time
with a woman, I would choose the Amer
ican woman. Otherwise there Is no com
parison to be mndo. The KnglUli woman
wears, she lasts, she understands, and
for all time. The American womait meets
the mc lent. Hho exhausts herself In
brlllanc!,, In repartee at the start."
Arnold Bennett, In an Interview.
It's no use, girls.
We might Just as well Rive up hoping
that KnKllihinmi will ever approve of us.
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

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.

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
