This isn't my say. It got it from a re port of a court authority. But It's a proof of the pudding that I have been cooking In these articles. The fatal five yeara! Why are they? If I say they are fatal because of the fault of the girls. I suppose even the hottest and most enervating summer day will not be enough to reduce to barmlessness the wrath that will rise and aim Itself at me. But. Irke Eva Tanguay, I don't care, because I have the courage of my oon-vy-tlons. I hare the moral support of j(( strong backboned - gentleman, who '""jVld briefly and affectively, be sure ypu're rht. then go ahead! And, so help me all the powers that do attend upon an un selfish determination -to serve a good oause. I am going ahead, if I break my typewriter and have to call out the na tional guards to protect me from the wrath to coma from my Inflamed sisters. It ts the fault of women that these five years are so apt to be fatal to matrimonial Careers. It's because they are ao stupidly Ignorant of what they ought to know, of iwhat they have got to do. It's not a matter f temperament; It's a matter of Ignoranoe and inexperience In the ordinary necessary I Oil Of I things that must form the practical base of any life partnership. It gives me the wooxles to twar some Ml aix Mutlmental or sensational woman talk about "the change In a girl s life when she marries being so radical and so difficult that she gives way undar.lt." It's such nonsense. The' human animal In like the others; . nature has established Its habits and- its natural inclinations. It's the in mne Insistence upon reversing or dixre Karding nature that makes the mischief. c jrelWsslMW hJfn 1 Trying to Keep the Hen Busy (lood statlHti'.'iuns who make it their bunl !. to count up all tne pounds of beef. brctU. vegetables and other things that we eat every year, and estimate how much we are going to eat next year, have announced tlutt each man, woman and child In New V6rk City is going to eat very nearly a hole case of exf this year, says the World, t Pome persons may deny this know ing as they do taut they never touch egs.

N. T. Herald Col) Bathing in Gold J A I'aiiHlan Journalist who had speculated I in railway shares won 20S.00S franca as the remit of a lucky venture. Drawing It in Hold, he proceeded to a hotel, emptied the !hk of gold in the bed and went to sleep literally in the sands of Pectolus. The man was so erased by hla good fortune that he found Indescribable pleasure m reveling in a golden bath. I'agaiiinl, the violinist, when he received the proceeds of his concerts (he insisted upon being paid In gold), uaed to wash hla hands In sovereigns. A French novelist, BouHe, wrote a book called "The Memoirs of the Devil." It was successful; the publisher paid him for the first volume 110.000 in gold. The author carried the gold to his bedroom, poured It Into a foot bath, and enjoyed for an hour the excitement of moving hla feet to and fro In a bath of gold coins, smoking mean while the biggest Havanaa. A Chicago merchant of great wealth, be lieving certain symptoms Indicated that be would become Inaane, consulted a specialist and under hla advice became an Inmate of a private asylum. For twelve years there hla recreation was piling up gold coins and then knocking them over. At times he washed hla hands In gold eagle and half eagles. At the end of the long seclusion he returned to hla business and In twelve months confirmed the thoroughness of his recovery by amassing fbOO.OOO. New Tork Press. Xoot They Doa't SsaJt. Miss Elderbud (triumphantly) Just think of It. At the ball last night I listened to five declarations of love. Her Friend How mean of you. Alloc. Who waa the pretty girl you were sitting near? Boston Transcript.' Glass-She Holds it Up If a man has felt the attraction of a girl sufficiently to ask her to share his life, as be wishes to share hers, it's only reason able and natural that the love should grow rather than decline in those first five , years. The reason It wears out Is because the man bas to encounter the worry and wear, the nerves and the complainings of the girl who has bit off more than she can chew. He bas made a living attended to hla work before he got ber. She has gen erally learned nothing of housekeeping be fore she rushes brazenly Into the assump tion of duties which she not only does not understand but wholly underestimates. She can't get the potatoes and the steak done at the same time. She wears herself out in attempting to work with tools unfamiliar to her bands. She knows nothing of domes tics, so he cannot keep servants. She either Imposes on them or lets them alight things one course as bad as the other. Mind you, I am not saying that a girl's Intentions are wrong. Intentions may be good paving stones for the place below, but they cannot run a home. It's the struggle with the domestlo muddle that makes nervous wrecks ef women and drives husbands to the society of the ladlee who make divorces. And the sooner we calmly and coolly lay aside this silly old martyresque notion that the association of a loving man and woman can cause misery, and concentrate on the fact that the cir cumstances which disturb and dislocate the domestic machinery Is to blame for those fatal five years, the better for us all. When the machinery of a home is gotten to running smoothly, the danger of divorce is minimised. What devil of croHS-eyed vision afflicts us Into blindness to the need for knowledge before we enter the holy bonds of wedlock? What's the matter J the storage season the latter pan of March and the first fortnight In April. ' With all the proprea in the storage of et;irs the demand for the "fresh laid" kind never has been greater or more Insistent than It is now. Some folks think it an im position to be called upon to pay aO cents a dosen for eggs at any time of the year,, but as a matter of fact In New York alone there are literally hundreds of contracts to pay that price the year round. The only stipulation Is that the eggs shall not be more than seventy-two hours old. The old. old question, "lias a man the rght to beat his wife?" Is still unsettled In Seattle. It came up at a taming picture show. The man in the motion picture gave his wife a beat 1 rig. A brute In the audience applauded, and sald.it served her right. A gentleman in the audience said: "It's no way to treat a woman." and in the rapidity of the argument eight chairs were smashed, a giusa door broken, and a fX fine paid -in the police court, aad still a Seattle man does not know what to do when his wife i us urges. The court refused to pass osj that question. Minneapolis Tribune.

The filing of an affidavit to the effect that Christ will re turn to earth In lDVi reminds Ye Editor that It la but twenty-two years since John Alex ander Dowie shook the dust of Omaha off bis consecrated feet and journeyed to Chicago, where a riper field awaited the thrust of his evangelical sickle. Dowie bad given Omaha the chance, and it would have but very little of him. He left an agunt here, after announcing biinaeif as the vicar of Ood, clothed wlin all the powers of divinity, and delegated to that agent authority to bind and loose, to heal and restore, and to do nuli other things as were eood for the kingdom of Iiowie. But the agent soon tired of the game, and got an other church in another state, and the Dowie business went to smash.

Wire Grass Valuable . j f Tabloid Wiadom 1 A new. Industry, the cutting of wire grasb, has developed. In . northern Minnesota In the lant year. Tlte grass has been found to be valuable for 'matting and similar pur poses, and a big company has bought up large tracts of. It. The cutting Is now in progress and 100 men are at work In the different camps. The grass is cut and al lowed to curs and is then stacked before being prepared for shipment to the factory. The gran Is sorted-ftnd the full lenth grass Is worth as high as S1S0 a ton at the fac tory. The medium length grass Is worth much less and the short length grass Is sold to shippers at about f& a ton to be used for packing. The diamond-cutting Industry of Amster dam has a "waiting list" of 1.000 persons. 0UE AST TREASURES IN GREAT DANGER' Priceless Gems la State's Collection l protected f rem Theft or Worse. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. 24. (Special.) Since the sensa tional theft of the De Vinci masterpiece from the Louvre, much perturDai,on has been felt here in official circles. The art treasures of the state, now housed at the state house, are practically at the mercy of any one who might fancy to carry them off. Think what an awful calam ity it would be If one of the gubernatorial portraits were removed from the governor's gallery! How would the state survive such an irreparable loss? Then, there's that battle scene in the adjutant general's headquarters; suppose some Irreverent thief were to absquatulate with that triumph of the sign painter's craft oh, It's unthinkable. But this Just goes to show what a crime of omission may be laid at the door of the last legislature that failed to make provision for a new state house. IKE.

You seldom hear of a fellow who Is trying to raise a family on p' a mourn being sent up for embezzlement. Uaeer. Or e wonders if that man really heard the voice of his wife calling to him from heaven. Seems such an in spiration ought to lead to something other than car bolic acid. Cariosity.

Colonel Frank Hamer was In frail Kearney. He doesn't appear to be much worried over crop prospect, now that the primary vote has been counted. Colonel Charley Lleweliin was In town a few moments on Ids way to Kansas City. He looks as thnuKh be had never had u moment of care or worry in his life.

It was in 1603 that ne made his first voyage to this country. From 1604 to 1607 he spent his time exploring the Canadian coasts, and, returning for a third voyage in W0S, he founded the city of Quebec. In 1612 he was appointed lieutenant gov ernor of New France. Ths years that fol lowed were devoted to explorations of the interior, attacks on the Iroquois and voy ages to France. In 1429 he was forced to surrender to an English fleet and was carried to England. Samuel CHAMPuujr After his liberation in 1C he returned to Canada In Id and remained there until his death. Champlain was a man of singularly bold and adventurous Hiirlt and seems to have had an insatiable desire fur exploration. Park man describes some of Chstnpluin's explorations in these word: "Again the canoes advanced, the river widening an they went.

Then the Iroquois made them their bunting ground; and beyond, in the valleys of ths Mohawk, ths Onandaga and the Genesee, stretched the long line of their five cantons and palisaded towns.
