To Insure It, Says Court Official,
Each Should Be a Partner, as
in Business Enterprise.
A wide experience with husbands
and wives has enabled Mrs. Julia
L. McGuire ofihe Chicago court
of of domestic relations to formu
late ihese principles which she
gives in People's Magazine,
"It can all be summed up in
aboui ilie same way textbooks on
business tell one to sum up the
proposition of going into business
partnership :
"1. Know your partner. Study
him or her under trying circum
stances as well as when things
are going well.
"2. Be sure that you and your
partner agree in your purpose and
ambitions. Compare notes with
each other and find out whether
you have the same tastes and hopes
for the future. Find out your pros
pective partner's idea of what to
do in prosperity or adversity.
"3. Settle upon your working
program for the future. Decide
how you w ill apportion your work
ing funds; face frankly the possi
bilities for trouble, and arrange in
advance io meet them. Deter
mine in advance the direction in
which you expend your establish
ment when you have savings to
disburse.
"4. Insiitute an adequate sys
tem of cost accounting to see it
that your funds go for the purpose
you have agreed upon. Get into
the habit of being frank with each
other, of clearing up misunder
standings instead of letting them
rankle.
"5. Go to it and stick to it
along these lines.
"6. Unless one of you has hid
den faults, you will not fall.
"That is what I have learned
from my contact with forty-four
thousand unhappy marriages,
which have been able to sum up,
scrutini.e and analyze, The sound
est advice n both men and wo
men that I could give is: 'I'lay
Fair and use common sense with
husband or wife."

liven Abe Lincoln, though never
noied for his beauty, had some
pride in his appearance. One day,
the story is told, while going down
the street, he met a man who
looked him over closely and drew
a gun on him.
"Stranger," the man said, "I
swore that if ever I met anyone
homelier than I was, I'd shoot him
on sight."
"Brother,'1 drawled Abe, "if
I'm homelier than you I reckon
you might as well,"

LOVE RAISED THE TUNE
BY FRANK L.
In the meeiin' house that day Love the tune was raisin'
When her bright eyes beamed my way there was grace a-niain'
What the parson said no doubt was the same old story;
Anyway, my soul that day fell like shouiin' "Glory !"
Old hymns ringin' sweet an' clear, heavenly light-it crowned her;
There were angels hoverin' near flutterin' wings around her.
Leasiways, so it seemed to be; and I said, a-singin';
"Sweeter face is hers to me, than any angel's tlyin'."
Life's been sweeter ever since; to its joys I'm clingin';
In the silence of my soul I go to Heaven a-singin';
I'm glad the angels on that day, when all the grace was given,
Could not persuade my dream o' love to follow them to Heaven!
THE WISEST MAN.
Suppose, my little lady,
Your doll should break her head,
Could you make it whole by crying,
Till your eyes and nose were red?
And wouldn't it be pleasanier
To treat it as joke;
And say you're glad 'twas dolly's
And not your head that broke?
Suppose you're dressed for walking
And the rain comes pouring down,
Will it clear off any sooner
Because you scold and frown?
And wouldn't it be nicer
For you to smile, than pout,
And so make sunshine in the house
When there is none without?
Suppose your task, my little man,
Is very hard to get,
Will it make it any easier
For you to sit and frei?
And wouldn't it be wiser
Than waiting, like a dunce,
To go to work in earnest,
And learn the thing at once?
Suppose that some boys have a horse
And some a coach and pair,
Will it tire you less while walking '
To say, "it isn't fair?"
And wouldn't it be nobler
To keep your temper sweet
And in your heart be thankful
You can walk upon your feet?
Suppose the world doesn't please you
Nor the way some people do,
Do you think the whole creation
Will be altered just tor you?
And isn't it, my boy or girl,
The wisest, bravest plan,
Whatsoever comes or doesn't come,
lo do the best you
MIND-READINO STUFF.
Irene, belle of the village green,
was in the drug store with her ar
dent swain absorbing an ice cream
soda when her straw became bent.
Hey, she called tu iheclerk, my
sucker's broke.
The swain colored. Ding it! he
exclaimed pettishly. How'd you
know I was?
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
She (after the hasty betroihel):
"Darling, this ring looks so famil
iar." He (studying her more closely):
"Can it be possible that"
"She; "Yes, it is the very
same ring! Why, you're the very
fellow I was engaged 10 three weeks
last summer!"
FOOLOSOPHY.
"You sometimes hear somebody
say that somebody else ain't got
sense enoueh to pound sand in a
raihole," says Uncle Seth WhilfL
tree. "Well, the way I figure it
out, anybody that's-got that much
sense ought to have more sense
than to do such a dern fool trick."

The divine is not discovered by
definition.
It takes more than a homemade
halo to make a hero.
Wisdom is in ngmg the head
and keeping the heart youthful.
The ground of all great thoughts

But George, the skipper of a Yar

"North Sea Fishers and Fighters,"
by Mr, Walter Wood, certainly
met with his match once whether
he knew it or not.
"There's land people who come
and bother you with foolish ques

ing the hardships of a skipper's
life. "I try to-put 'em off, but
can't alius do it. There was an
old lady who worried me past en
durance with her questions, askin'
if the herrin's were caught in bar
rels, as she'd sometimes seen 'em
that way in shops. I told her no,
and then she aggravated me lo thai
extent that I told the only fib I
ever spoke in my life.
" 'How do you kill 'em when
you've caught 'em?' she asked.
" 'We bite off their heads,' I
answered.
"She looked at the catch of
herrin's we had, 'My! My!' she
murmured, walkin' away. 'How
tired your poor jaws must be!' "
