HKWARO, Neb.. Aug. 14. -To tha editor of
Tlia Bee: The Literary Digest ot August
1. under tha title of "A Woman's Indict-
tnant of Present Day Marital Relations,"
reviews and article by Mrs. Charlotte
Perkins Oilman, In which the writer con- I

on Its present basis, for the reason that
tbis relation Is so one-sided. A woman's I
husband, children and home are expected
to be her world, while the man has his wife,
children, home and the world as well." I
Mrs. Oilman supposes a case of a woman,
wiui satisfactory domestic relations, a kind
husband and nice children, an extensive
house and means to gratify her tastes In
Its adornment, but ahe has uneasy longings,
tinsatlsfled ambitions, and cravings for
companionship which need the larger gen-
era relations or lire to sutlsry, ani con-
sequent Iy marriage la a failure, and It
sexes realise they have far wider duties
and desires than those of the domestlo 1
relatione. ' I
It seems strange that a Dubllcation like
the Literary Digest should give space to the
review of such a bllous moan. If marriage
was a failure In the rase above cited. It
was because the woman was a soulful
female, devoid of common sense, who with
everything necessary for happiness, re
a Job on the railroad, or was not other-
wise mixed up In the world like her
husband. I
Main's Side and Woman's Sid
If marriage Is one sided, as the woman
asserts, the woman has the easy side of
It, for she Is provided for, protected,
humored, loved, and petted, unless she
becomes so disagreeable or commonplace
that It la Impossible to love her. Thou-
sands of women expect love and devotion
from their husbands, and all the fortunate
tins of life as their rightful due when meeting. Senator Obaldla, a warm sup- January 1. 1806, to obtain the eight-hour

A woman has her husband and her world.
the same as a man hns his wire and his
world. Her world, which Is a far more
agrewable workshop. Is the home, with its
possibilities of culture In muslo and good
literature, with Its artistic adornments and
Its agreeable associations of husband.
children and friends. That is world enough
for a womanly woman, but If she Is not I
a womanly woman, and there Is domestlo
unhapplness. It Is not marriage that is a
failure, but the woman herself.
Responsibility of tbo Wife.
Any woman who baa a home and the
comforts of life and a husband who does
not get drunk or beat her has no business I
to allow marriage to be a failure, for men
are what the women make them, generally, I
and while some of our fair artisans do not
exactly rank with Phidias or Praxiteles In
their human eoulpturing, - yet upon ths
whole they turn out pretty fair Jobs. A
wlfs can make or mar most any man,
ana in nine cases out of ten where mar- I
naga is a failure It la woman's fault, for
tha boms la her especial realm, and the
love and attention a woman gives her
home Is the only Investment tliat always
pays 100 per cent, and It Is her duty to
make her home tha most desirable place
on earth for husband, children and friends.
And If she falls, the fault Is not In mar
riage maintained on Its present basis, as
millions of happy homes all over our broad
land oan testify, but In her own lack of
tact.
Many a good housekeeper Is a miserable
home maker, and Is about as Interesting
to her husband as a clialr. a table or inv
ther piece of household furniture. And
suoh woman often oomplaln that marriage
is a raiiurs Decause their husbands do not
lovo uiem. V su, perhaps they can't Be-
cause we ought to love a person Is no
reason in tbo world for our doing so, and
taxing, into conaiaeration the natural con-
trarlness of human nature. It Is a verr a-ood
reason for our not doing so; and there
m no reason wny a man snoum lovs hia i
wife, because she does her dutv and is a I
good houaekeep.r. If .he 1. not asreeaU. I
w.ss atti snv v v v uvuii IV VUIIIjyci Ul H1PC
Uon, than there la for a woman to love
her husband Just because he earns the
living and keeps his barn clean. Love Is
not governed by the will.
What some women need Is more common
sense ana less sentiment. They do not seem I
to realise that a man cannot always keep
at taai nign preasure or love and enthusl-
asm that made him want to Jump over the
taoon, that he cannot always be ripping the
universe 10 miters ana vowing by the eter-
nal stars how he adores her. He has
eaugut his car, and there la no occasion, as
ne can see, lor mm to keep Jumping off
and chasing It every little while. Just to
make thlnga Interesting for his wife. And
It Is her business to make life s Journey
pleasant by cultivating a sympathy, a con
geniality of tastes and a Jully comaraderle
that Is far mors comfortable when ws get
the rheumatism than love's heroics.
When Marriage Never Fall.
- We never hear anything about marriage
feeing a failure In those countries where
Woman la held In no more consideration
than a chattel, but In America, where
woman's condition Is ideal for I would
rather be an American woman with her
frcedora. Intelligence, social and clvlo
rights, with the courtesy, deference, re
spect and love that Is given her than to
reign a queen on any foreign throne.
It is the failures that attract our atten
tion, tor It la only when a couple haa trou
ble that they are worth talking about. Dl-
oroos are only 1 per cent of the marriages,
statistics say, and a buttneas where the
failures are only 1 per cent would be re-
garded as a very safe investment.
I have no sympathy for Mrs. Charlotte
Perkins Oilman's soulful women, who sigh
for a sphere and look upon the home as a
secondary consideration.
The home Is above every other Interest In
the wide world, for the spec of civilisation,
the acme of existence, is a happy home.
and should be the aim of every woman who
la fortunate enough to have family ties.
Her best energies, her best talents. In short
tho heat of ever thing should be given to
tha home first. Then If she hts any energy
or talent left over, more than la needed for
home consumption, she can pass It out to
the community, but she should keep the
choloe fruits of life for husband and chll,
drea. Prunes aud dried apples are gocd
nough fur the world.

TWO IN DANGER OF THE MOB
Brace of Murderers, at Lander, Wyo.,
. Likely to bo Victims of
Lynching;.
CHEYENNE. Wyo., Aug. 15. Advice
from Lander at 2 o'clock thla morning
Indicated that, that town would probably
be the scene of a doubl lynching and that
James Keffer and James Dollard would
be the victims. A large uowd of axclted
men gathered about the Lander Jail late
last night and for a time It looked as
though the bistlle would be stormed at
once.
The mob was armed with rifles and
revolvers and two or three men carried
ropes. After a brief consultation among
the leaders, however, the crowd apparently
dispersed, but an attack la expected at
any moment.
Dollard killed Frank Bryant In a saloon
Wednesday, after having brained Ross
Stringer, with a board, Dollard, who Is an
ex-roughrlder, waa drunk, and was shoot
ing up the town at the time.
James Keefer was convicted of murder
ing William Warren, a stage tender, on
the Lander-Rawlins line two years ago
and was sentenced to be hanged, but was
granted a stay of execution pending nn
appeal to the supreme court. The regular
guard Is at the Jail, but that Is small.
Up to 10 o'clock today no lynching had
occurred at Lander, but the sentiment In
favor of one appeared to be very strong,
and It Is feaied an attempt will be made
tonight. If not before, to take both Bollad
nnd Keffer from Jail and hang them.
Today two brothers and two half broth
ers of James Jollard, accompanied by sev
eral friends, to the number of about a
dosen, arrived, well armed. It Is reported
that the Dollards have sworn to save Jim
Dollard from the mob and also that they
plan to attack the Jail and rescue the al
leged murderer.

THE COLLEGE BOY HARVESTER
His Advcntnre with tbe Hardy, Free
Hnnded Milkmaid Fashioned
In Kansns.
On of th college boys who went to ths
western Kansas harvest fields writes to a
friend an account of his experiences, say
ing:
"Well, this Isn't what It Is cracked up
to be, and Harold would have confessed
himself all in and come home to mamma
Inside of two days after the starting If
he hadn't been worse afraid of the Joshing
of you devils than of blistered paws. Speak
ing of blistered paws, It's no Joke. Before
night the first day I had puffs all over
my hands and that night the fat dame
of this household stuck needles into 'em
and tapped me until I ran water like a
hydrant. But the old boy was good to me
and for two days he kept me at choring
around, hauling water, helping the fat
dame cook and playing the baby generally.
Then I tackled the header boxes again for
ten straight days and I really got to liking
it. But say, Willie, don't you believe that
story about a shortage in the world's crop.
know better, for I pitched enough of
the blamed stuff to make two crops of
world's breadstuff.
"And, Willie, there Is another thing you
can disabuse your festering Intellect of.
You can't spoon with these country girls
with the Joyous freedom that you read
about. We have a roly-poly girl her who
doesn't wear corsets and who don't care
how much sock shs displays when she
kicks at the cat. I kissed her the other
night. I won't do it any more. If I want
exercise of a rapid kind I will go out and
ground an electric light wire through my
handsome person. She whacked me on the
side of the head with a fist like a ham.
and don't you doubt It, Willie, she meant
every word of It.
"I get ti a day and 'found,' 'Found'
means that the old man comes to your

PREFERENCE F0R SMOKERS
Man Who Wanted Work Done
Qnlckly Fonnd It Worth While
to Favor Them.
"Th folks all gave me the laugh when
I sent down to the city for ten uen to
come up to my rural place to work
smokers preferred. I wanted a Job finished
quick, digging drains and laying tiles, and
some other things of tha sort; what's more,
I wanted It done within two weeks. It
was finished inside of ten days, the men
got their money and left for the city call
ing me an easy boss. How did I accom
plish a two weeks' Job inside of ten days?
Easy enough and as simple as you please.
I said I preferred smokers when 1 sent
for the gang. When they went to work I
told them they were to smoke as much as
they pleased. And they hit the pipe right
along to their content, I assure you. A
neighbor came over to look at the Job, and
he threw up his hands when he saw my
gang. Down in ths drain were four lusty
fellows; each and averyon was loading and
lighting his bowl.
" 'Waste of Urn that; takes a man at
leaet one minute to fill, light, and start a
pipe. Those fellows could not work for
me. Simply wasting too much time smok
ing.' "So he said, but so I th same failed to
agree with him when I saw the chaps
buckle down to business; worked ' snd
puffed, puffed snd worked. It waa the
same with tbe tile men. They'd suddenly
lift up with a Jerk as though ther had
forgotten something. Out came the pipes
and bags scratch, puff, and, presto! down
went the tllea all shipshape and quickly. It
was the ssme with the rest of th men.
They worked and smoked, smoked and
worked; If they lost time fooling with the
pipe they made it more than up when the
pipes started business. Mind, I do not find
any fault with the non-smoker on the
contrary I admire th man who does not
use the weed. But when It comes down to

The most loathsome and repulsive
things is the serpent, and the vilest and most
degrading of all human diseases is Contagious Blood Toison. . The serpent
sinks its fangs into the flesh and almost instantly the poison passes through
the entire body. Contagious Blood Poison, beginning with a little ulcer, .
soon contaminates every drop of blood and spreads throughout tbe whole
system. Painful swellings appear in the groins, a red rash and copper col
ored splotches break out on the body, the mouth and throat become ulcerated,
and the hair and eye brows fall out ; but these symptoms are mild compared to

eces.es and sickening ulcers and tumors show the whole system is cormpted
and poisoned, and unless relief comes soon this serpent disease tightens its
coils and crushes out the life. The only antidote for the awful virus is S. S. S.
Strong mineral remedies, like mercury and potash, dry up the cores and drive
in the disease, but do not cure permanently.
