A disgusted lady, who signs herself "One Who Smiles, but Is Tired of Doing It," write a letter to this column In which she axks why a woman la always aavistd to mm her husband with a wect smile, and glad, I to make hla home happy for him. She wants to know whk- It Isn't Just as much a man's place to make a happy borne as It la a wo man's, and why It Isn't just as much tip to him to do the grinning act aa It Is to her! ( To which r would reply that marriuge la a same that Isn't played, ac cording to lloyle, and that the rights of the thtnir haT nothing to do with the case. Further more, that a man ' may be everything on earth that la rood end sweet and lovely, kind and gener ous to his wife, but he Is never Just to fcer. As a matter of equity It (a as much a man's place to meet his wife with a Joy oua smile aa 11 Is liera to meet him. It Is Just as much his duty to make the home peaceful and sereno aa It la hera. It Is Just aa disenchanting to a woman for her husband to com to breakfast with a two daya' stubble of beard on his faco aa It la to him for her to appear In a frowsy mother hubbard and curl papers, and a stout gentleman doesn't appear any more romantic In a woman's eyes than a feather-bed-Iooklng lady docs to a man. Why, then, should women bo adjured to keep themselves young and fascinat ing and to always present a smiling and cheery countenance to their husbands, while no one says a word to a man about making himself persona grata to his wife? Because it would bo merely a waste of breath to offer men advice that they wouldn't take. When a man marries he thinks that performing that noble and self-sacrificing act given him the right to do as he pleases within Jils own ball wlck. Ie considers that his supporting the home entitles him to grouch in It as much as he likes, and that his having kept his wife from being an old maid should fill her with auch gratitude Ciat aha should be willing to be on her kneos to him no matter how he treats her. The masculine attitude toward mar riage is, as a general thing, that of a high god who suffers himself to be wor shiped. There is nothing mutual about It. It's the woman who must do the (a laamlng and forehead knocking and the general kowtowing. The most that a man thinks can be expected of him is for him to be graciously pleased with the ad ulatlon offered to him. Of course, this 1n t what a woman anticipates whan the gets married. No Indeed. Far otherwise. She expecta to occupy the pedostal herself, or, at the worst, to stand on a level with her hus band, and for them to strive equally to gether to make a happy home. She soon finds -out, however, that In marriage It is a condition and not a Parable of ft 15y MILKS OVKWIOLT. Now there was a man In the eunt. which was over against New Yixk, who viuukl gn-weat-youn?-man and grow up with the country and get aa on a sliver platter And he had not much cash and he would accumulate more, bo that he would not be In want. And behold, he pu'.led out from his fath er's house and entered into the prodigal aon business. And lo, the west that he visited was thinly populated. Insomuch that It took els weeks to get enough men together to start an argument. And the young man wot not how ho waa to git wealthy. And he waa verdant. Insomuch that when a real eetaie men showed him a bargain In a graveyard site he did pungle Up hla laat dime for the property. And It waa so, Now It came to rasa that the youn man had clerked In a store once upon a Uue, eud U did uot furgti the yellow Expediency theory that confronta her, and that ir there Is an adapting of the one to the other to be done, she has to do It. and tf the home is to be happy ehe'e got to undertake the Job. Otherwise there will be discord and divorce. Nobody will deny that it Is hard and unfair on woman that the wife should have to do the propitiating and the pleas ing, and that she should always have to walk warily to keep off of her husband's toes, whllo he feels at perfect liberty to trample all over her little feelings with hla number ten boots, and be aa gruff and impolitic as he pleases. ' It would cheer a woman up Just aa much after a long, hard, mopotonoua day's) work cooking and sewing and baby ending to have her husband come homo with a bright and cheery smile as It does him to be met by a glad eyed wife. Only a man never considers that It Is up to htm to be Little Sunshine unless he happens to feel that way. Somebody has got to do the optimistic stunt In a household, or elso It Is so dreary that It drives people to drink. Therefore the wife has to smile. It would lie Just as soothing to voman's temper to have her husband al ways rub her fur the right way, and to conceal the things that annoy her from her gaxe, aa It Is to a man s temper for hla wife to aldetrack all of the subjecte that are like a red flag to a mad bull to him, and to cover up all of the family happenlnga that are sure to rile him and get on hla nerves. Only a husband doesn't take the trouble to be tactful and diplomatic with hla wife. And unless In a house somebody keepa the domestic machinery lubricated you can hear Ita creaking and groaning for blocks around. The bare facts In the case are that inasmuch aa a man won't get along with his wife, she has to get along with him. Hence women hold down the perpetual Job of salve spreaders. It would be Just as pleasant to a woman for her husband to put on his open- faced clothes of an evening, and devote himself to entertaining her and talking about the fashions, and whether hoop skirts are likely to come back again or not. aa it Is to a man for his wife to marcelle her hair, and put on her pret tlext frock, and spend the evening trying to converse with him on the stock mar ket, or the green grocery trade, or whether the politicians are really going after the trust, or are Just trying to get bought up. Only a man Isn't going to make tli exertion of dressing up Just fur hla wife, or bora himself talking to her unless he happens to feel Ilka It, and aomebody in t house haa got to tear off tome conver sation to keep It from being like a deaf and dumb asylum. In most homes the husband alts, up aa silent aa the grave. Hence the wife'a tongue haa to run like a flutter mill because she haa to talk for two. "No," 'One Who Smiles But la Tired of Doing It.' there Is no reason why you should smile any more than your hua hand does. But you will find that If you don't smile there'll be no smiles In your household. It Isn't a question of duty ur you to smile. It's a matter of ex pedienry, and in matrimony a wise woman learns to take all of the short cuts to peace and happiness." a Prodigal la, nor the marked-down I'lMines, nor the coupon, nor t lie installment.

And lo and behold, people came from (he four corners of the earth and even to the middle thereof, to patronise hi Juatly celebrated graveyard. People who never died beefore fell upon his neck and asked to bo killed that they might be planted 'neath the green bay tree. And he flourished long In the land and built him a houae with thirteen hay wln dowa and a sorrel one and a pink one. And behold, his automobile hath room for ten people.

Ilia fliat work la to button the ahlrtwalsta on the modela. In the evening of the first day aome body aaya to him: "Well, Reginald, how do you Ilka your Job7" "Oh. It's all right for a start," Reginald answers; "but they don't know how to run the business." Thla shows that Reginald must have a wonderful mind to be able to see ao much by the end of the first day. In one atyle and another there are probably millions of Reginalds In all kinds of business. After one day on the Job they are convinced that the firm doej not know how to run the business. Well, let us wish Reginald Clod-speed, and leave hla care to his own hands. We want to learn what the American boy must do to advance from hla first Job. II. Many young men who enter a new buelneas declare, at leaat to themselvea, that it must be reorganised. The young man, being a little troubled with hla eight falls to see that he la the DroDo. aitlon to be reorganized. Thla leada ia to fact No. 1. 1. When the American boy geta into business his first care muat be to learn hla own Job ao thoroughly that he la as aura of It aa he la of the spelling of hla own name. Then we can aet out after fact No. S. t He must be keen about work. Thla means he muat hunger for work and thirst for work, lie must keep everlast ingly at work. He muat realise that any Job to whioh he Is Resigned In the beg.nnlng could be dune by lo.OOO other boya. There la great competition. Outside the door are these thousands waiting fur his place. Heme, he must be so industrious that the gets acqainted with fact No. 8. 3. He must specialise his Job until he gets It down no fine that very few. If any. of the lu.ooo waiting outside can do it us well aa he run. To eucccFd In bringing himself to tin; point of excellence, the American )to will discover (hat some qualities, gener The Genius lly GAIIHKTT The great achoola collegea and unl- verslt.es are Just entering upm another year of labor In tl e fields of Intellect, and many thuusand ot young men have begun a course that will probably be decisive In di recting their fu ture lives. It la to these, and to their tracheis, that this appeal Is a d- dies.it d. The world now stand at tho open ing of the great est crisis in Its history. At tho close of the nine tenth century It had advanced aa far aa It could in material ctvill tatlon with the means then at c o in m u n d. Hut with the new century a new vista bu gan to open up. L'ndreamed-of possi bilities dawned ahead and live ploneera of science had glimpses of the unknown that filltd them with auch aaplratlons as only arlso whsn a revolution Is at hand. The partial unveiling of the mystery of the atoms showed that man was com ing Into close touch with forces capable of transforming life upon this plunet. Every IruuVr of science haw recugnUed th s fact and has bent hla energlca to pushing forward the advance. Let man oni'o get the key to unlock the Illimit able forces inclosed In the atoms ot matter whl'h surround ua on ail sides and he w.ll achieve a command over nature such as the wildest dreams could not have represented to his prophetic aoul. "The energy locked up In a single gram of mutter Is equivalent to that furnished by the combuatlon of more than 8,600,000 tone of coal!" That la the astonishing and universal testimony of science at the present mo ment. A few plain sentences will clear the bituatlon. We utilize the energy ot coal j,d other fuels by haytunlng lluir coin bustlon. 11 la that hastening which 1;; By Tad TAITKIU uily called common ones, will be hla over present help and mainstay. To memoriae these so that he can say them aa promptly as a brakenian culls the names of the station will constitute Fact No. 4. 4. The great helps In beginning busi ness are Industry, Promptness, Attention, Appearance, tiahlta, Manners and fpeech. l'y the time the American boy haa these four facta In regular working order, there will not be one person waiting out on the sidewalk who could possibly begin to do hla Job the way he haa learned to do It hlmHclf. He la then master ot the situation. What next? Fact No. S. 6. He can now do his work ao master fully that It Is too easy for him. Ha wanta something harder, aomethlng that taxea hla mind; takes, more out of him and puta more Into him. He applies then for a harder Job. Doea ha get It? Having made himself master of one kind of work, the chancea are that he will have discovered waya and meana for getting what he wanta because of Fact No. C 6. Business men are very alow to let anyone go who haa proved himself a hustling, thoughtful, efficient worker. Ot course, It dependa a little upon the busi ness man, but not much, for few of them are so foolish as to dismiss one who shows the qualities we have presented here to the American boy. Efficient service Is the rarest thing In the business world. Many positions are constantly open, soma of them with thou sands of dollars salary, waiting for man to come along whose creed of work la that expressed by the facts we have discovered. Any American boy can auccead and keep on advancing who makea up hla mind! 1. To get skill and knowledge out of all the work he doea, S. To work Industriously. 8. To do his work ao well that no one an do It better. 4. To keep ever before him the com mon helps. Industry Promptness Attention Ap pearance Habits Manners and Bpeech. Then everything he wanta will begin 'o move toward him not toward the man 'siting on the sidewalk. of Invention J P. SKKVISS. .ci tales mechanical power. Force is what moves matter; work is measured by force mu.tlplled by apace, or the distance over which tho force acts; power la work divided by time. The less the time the greater the quotient, power. The com- bustlon ot wood und coal, by which their entigy Is released, goes on with extrmo slowness In nature and yields no useful power; but when we cut the time down to a small fraction by burning them tho power becomes very great. Now, all matter is radio-active, or cau bo made so, and radlo-ucUvlly, like com bunion, is it process by which energy la reltustd. Hut natural radlo-ucilvity is an extrtini-ly slow process. A bit of radium, containing hundreds of millions pf times inoiu energy than a ton ot coui, requires 1,7W ears to develop half Its hidden force. Hie power Is therefore negligible. But hu.-ten that proct-ku, as wb hasten the couhuiupiloti of coal, una the power thus plact! ut our command would be with uut limit. Make i adio acilon do its work qul' kly, and energy without bounds will t-pMHt toiili illiu u boiue to do our will. The treat ilicmirfls luive almost got tin ii- lingers upon the sintnu, but yet It escapes then touch. There Is danger that the wave ot pi ogress may lose its lores before the critical discovery is made, and then the worn! will have to wait during another unknown series of ccn luiics for the yieat advance. Let every young man who would like to do something lor the world and tho lace to which he belongs nolle this op portunity and concentrate ail the energies of his mind upon Hie solution of the greatest pioLb iu that has ever confronted human inteilleeiice. He who makes this discovery will leave u name before which that ot Newton will pa.e. If you feel within you the longing tot achievement, here la your chance. The learning Ot Qicek and Lutln and their literature has Us utes; It makea the . world happier sometimes but it dues not push It ahead; only science can do that. I'ut all your strength behind the billow of on-rolling 'tcieuce and help to turn It into a great "tenth wave" which w 1.1 burrt the carriers, iilesi-ed through ail coming time will be the man who finds the key to Interatomic force, and blessed , will be all who uatfully aid in the eearch, 0
