peace Who prided himself nil his
marrying record tins just lost his
job because he went in whole hog
and bragged about it. This fellow
announced to critical world that
he had kissed ten thousand brides
in his lime, and asked lor a re
election on his record. You know
a thinglike that gets on your nerves
after a while, so the cross and un
sympathetic public went after this
boy's number. They went after
the marrying squire with an oppo
sition candidate on a platform of
"Shake hands with 'em, that's
enough," and cleaned him up in
the primaries.
This justine began kissing brides
as a matter of form. He heard
about the insanitary kiss, and he
had a lurking fear that he would
acquire mumps, or scarlet lever,
or chicken pox, or measles, or
something, but as time wore on
and he acquired none of these, he
began to like it, and as soon as he
began lo like it the perverse public
began to lay plans to lake it away
from him. The public cannot stand
anything like candor, and it can't
siand it to see a man too success
ful.
What the squire now sees should
have have been done to complain
in public of what a nuisance it was
to kiss the bride. Then the public
would have allowed him to marry
people for the remainder of his life.
The candid man is everlastingly
getting batted around in this world.

LET HIM LIVE.
As long as flowers ihcir 'erfii'iie give,
So long I'd let the Kaiser live
Live and live for a millii u yews,
With nothing to drink but Belgium tears,
With nothing to quench his awful thirst,
But the sailed brine of a Scotchmen's curse.
I would let him live on a dinner each day,
Served from silver on a golden tray,
Served with things both dainty and sweet,
Served with everything but things to eat.
And I'd make him a bed of silken sheen,
Willi cosily linens lo lie between,
With covers of down and fillets of laces,
And downy pillows piled in places;
Yet when to its comfort he would yield,
It would stink with rot of the battlefield,
And blood and bones and brains of men
Should cover him, smother him, and then
His pillows should cling with the rotten clay
Cloy from a grave of a soldier boy.
And while God's stars their vigils keep,
And while the waves the white sands sweep,
He should never, never, never sleep.
And through all the days, through all the years,
There should be an anthem in his ears,
Kinging and singing and never done
Fo the edge of light to the set oi sun,
Moaning and moaning and moaning wild
A ravaged French girl's bastard child!
And I would build him a castle by the sea,
As love a castle as ever could be;
Then I'd show him a ship from over the sea,
As fine a ship as ever could be;
Laden with water cold and sweet,
Laden with everything good toeat;
Yet scarce does she touch the silvered sands,
Scarce may he reach his eager hands,
That a hot and hellish molten shell.
Should change his hesveu into hell.
And though he'd watch on the wave-swept shore,
Our Lusitania would rise no more.
In "No Man's Land" where the Irish fell,
I'd start the Kaiser a private hell;
I'd jab him, stab him, give him gas;
In every wound I'd pour ground glass;
I'd march him out where the brave boys died
Out past the lads they crucified.
In the fearful gloom of his living tomb,
There is one thing I would do before I was through:
I'd make him sing in a stirring manner,
The wonderful words of the "Star-Spangled Banner.'
SEPTEMBER
The misty morns of September when the crickets start to play,
And the sun comes up half hidden in the fog-wreaths of the bay;
The fragrance of ripe orchards, and the sparkle of the dew,
And the cobwebs in the grasses woven by the fairy crew;
Oh, take me out to breakfast
With the mists so fresh and deep
Where the sunbeams come to snatchus
From the shadowy shores of sleep!
The misty morns of September and the round red moon al night
Climbing up the promontories till it pales to silver light,
And goes sailing like a phantom of some lady fair and frail
Through the starry heights of azure looking down on earth's green vale;
Oh, lake me out to supper
When the September moon once
Peeps above the peaks of purple
Over on the Eastern Shore !
The misty morns of September, with a ripple in the trees
That shall drift the misty shadows on the bosom of the breeze;
And the humming birds a-flutter in the honey-cups of bloom
Ah, forget the old world's troubles and cast off the cloak of gloom:
Forget the troubled conflict.
And the sorrow put away
When the tnisiy morns of September
Rise in beauty from the bay!

A MODEL HUSBAND.
A Vioilel ItuHbiind Is (In: Who
III shnre l-.vcry Itnrdship or
Mnriiw I lie VI ay Hrinir to 111s
Wile.
I'eili.ips t vrTi' m imed oin;in
in our comiiiiiMiii' iliiitks sin pos
sesses a iii iiIlI liusi Mini, and we
.liould In- sully l suy .iimhint;
hat iniiilii be the me ins ol dispell
ing the ileHisimi We feel sure
no two women weinh ni.inidnd in
exactly I tie s;iine scales. What
one woman regards as virtues an
other may regard as laulis.
A model husband in our o iiumi
is not a man who alone biings
weal lb to his home ;nor one who en
dows his wife willva line social posi
tion; but one who gives io his wife
ihe besi of himself; who appreciates
her virtues and pardons her faults.
A model husband is one who
will share every hardship or sor
row life may hung lo his wife,
and sweeiens m ffering with his
words of love and sympathy and
when age and infirmities rob her
of her personal charms and wrin
kles take the place of dimples, his
love is like the holly that blossoms
in the winter of adversity.
A model husband does not allow
his selfish nature to accord to him
self all the blessings which conies
with a well kept home, and permit
his faithful wife to bear all Ihe bur
dens: he does not Fret and fume if
a sick child disturbs his peaceful
slumbers, declaring urgent busi
ness duties on the morrow will de
mand his attention and he cannot
lose sleep, yet can spend several
nights at the club or lodge each
week and never complain of heavy
eyelids.
A model husband prefers the so
ciety of his wife and children to
that of club, opera or dance, and
when his wife shares in these re
creations they are a pleasure lo
him, when she is absent ihey cease
to amuse.
A model husband is not only
tender and kind, he is manly and
brave. It is a pitiful sight to see '
a strong, well balanced woman ;
yoked to a pigmy of a man who '
never had an inspiration higher
than his stomach ;who whines when '
he is hungry and grunts when he
is fed.
A model husband must be a
honest man; not only honest with
his feltowmen, thus keeping his
commercial reputation above re
proach, but honest in paying his
obligations lo his family. When
he allows vice and dissipation to
rob him of his manhood and self
respect he cheats his wife out of
her legal rights.
Model husbands as a rule are
not the outcome of circumstances,
but they are natural products. A
kind loving son will become, after
marriage, a model husband. A
selfish, arrogant son will grow in
to a tyranical, unreasonable hus
band because he loves himself bet
ter than any one else, and his wife
will always occupy a second place
in his affections; when their opin
ions clash, and the happiness ol
either party is in the balance it will
be surrendered, or there will be a
friction in the household.
A model husband delights to
bring happiness to the heart of the
one he calls wife and never forgets
to cherish and protect the atom of
humanity the law made his own.
His marriage vows are noi made
on Thanksgiving to be broken on
Christmas.
A model husband is not neces
sarily one of the kissing kind, who
never enters his house or leaves
it without kissing his wife, and
then amuses his associates by say
ing his wife would rather have a
kiss than a dollar, and as a kiss
has less commercial value ii sums
both parties.
SAFETY IN SILENCE.
Commenting on the many
and varied excuses offered for
evading the draft, Provost Gen
eral Crowdor remarked that
most of the would-be slacker
come to grief through talking
too much,
"They remind me of - the
young fellow who, on the spur
of the moment, asked a girl to
marry him.
"Yes," replied the girl.
"After waiting for five min
utes for him to say something
more, she said:
"Well, what have you got to
say ?"
"Nothing," replied the young
man, "I've said too much al
ready." Washington 8tar.
