for a divorced wife Is a continuously
accumulating debt. It runs without
wumtlon. It does not outlnw with the
lapse of tlmo , bocauae it Is connected
by liability from first to last Ilko an
open account In which now oiilrltM are

could olttii'.n a dlvorco and then absolve

from the Judgment of alimony and to
pay for the support of his children It
would make the bankrupt laws the re-

of his obligation to support them. Ali

rule as alimony that Is accruing from

Succcfls nowadays la measured largo-
> by wealth. What , then , Is thu magic
key that unlocks the mysteries of ' '
money getting ? Great minds have been
vainly searching for ages to find It t )
jut It remained for Senator Ucpew at '
New York to discover It right hero In
our day and generation. The Senator
i few days ago , In response to a ques !
tion put to him by some one who was
inxlous to learn the rules essential to
.he acquisition of wealth , replied thai '
n his view it was a mistake to lay too
nuch fltross upon habits of economy ,
even of Industry or perseverance , or In
fact to rely upon any general rules of
conduct , since In his own experience
he had met with many men who had
jccn industrious , capable , economical i ,
and prudent , and yet had been unable
to do any more than earn a fair In-
j
conic. On the other hand lie had
mown men who were not habitually
ndnstrloiis , though capable of great .
spurts in Industry , who were prodigal
.
with their money , who were not noted
for persistency of purpose , and yet who
lad amassed great fortunes. Half in
cfit the Senator said that the only es
sential for the acquisition of n grout !
'ortune , or for the achieving of great
success , was the possession of the
'money bug. " It Is n metaphor that
nany of the Senator's intimate friends
vill at once recognize ns one that he 19
end of using. By the "money l | "
le meant thu possession of two quail-
lefl , one being judgment and the other'1
courage , or that resolute daring which
s , In the colloquialism of tlio day
ailed "nerve. " The man who pos"r
sesses these two qualities will , In the
Senator's opinion , and he Is supported
n his view by many men who have
succeeded , stand a butter chance of nc
lulrlng great wealth than would bii
possible through plodding Industry , mi-
llnchlng persistency , and rigid ccono *
ny. Cultivate Judgment and courage ,
therefore , If you wish to succeed Hud
bo rich.
The troubled and distracted house-
wife need worry no longer over the
"Horvnnt girl problem. " The whole
iiuestlon that lias disrupted so many
honiOK and driven so many kind hus
bands to drink ham at last been solved
by modern students of domestic ccon-
omy. Their advice is : ' 'Put domestic
service on a business hauls , " This solu-
tlon was handed out to thu National
Suffrage Convention by n young ladyjoi
who has made a study of the servant
girl question "for the government. " Of
course the factory Idea of running a i
household is not n now one. It bus
been advanced boforc. But it is now
urged strenuously .and olllcinliy and 1
witlt such conildout boldness thut no i
woman him had the temerity as yet to
combat IU Putting anything "on it
business basis" always has great at'C
triictlvcness for unsontlmenta.1 people.
It IH a pleasant-sounding Idea , whether
I has any sense to it or not , and many
teoplo who never attempted the manv
igemont of an average homo will he i
harmed by It. The young , lady who
nvostlgated the question "for the govc
Tinneiit" IK unmarried , and it la mitnl
ill for liur to be captivated by tho.
'business" ' idea of running a homo ,
t'hero nro no doubt ninny department
of domestic service that may bu Im- '
iroved by the introduction of what are
viiown as "business" methods. Cor-
alnly tlio thuiiicjiil end of household ' '
nanageniont mny he placed on a "busl-
toss basis , " much to the profit and com
fort of the family. But it should never
10 forgotten that the average American

twenty yards from the herd. During

pay 'no nltentlon whatever to the hu
man beings who wore watching them
nnd kept on browsing. Soon they be

that tlicsu animals may be seen for

cursed tlio prosessor along the gem-
ealoglcal tree back to the llret ances
tor of his race. Thou he dwelt upon
every detail of his anatomy , from th
top of his head to the end of his toes.
For three consecutive hours he sat

PAINT IN THE PALL
Fall painting is best ; the
paint gets well seasoned be
fore the hot sun gets busy.
You want your paint to
last , and to protect your prop
erty. If you use Devoe ready
paint , you'll have both.
Lasts longer than lead and
oil ; costs less. Devoe is a safe
name in paint things.
Ask your denier for Devoe ; dent bo
natiBfied with leas. Send for our pam
phlet about paint and painting ; frc j
things you ought to know.
