A MODEL WIFE. -;
Thin kind of a person of oar
ideal it not easy found asUtnkee
much of thought and knowl
edge upon the part of man and
women to become through! ac
quainted with encb other's waj
in every , toil of lifei Women
must be well educated in all the
detail of life. She must not
think that beaut and drees and
admiration is the keynote of her
ambition, , jet she, tinat hare
character and learn to tabor and
wait. As to the idea of a beauti
ful woman is out of the question,
according to .IW-hambeau, a
French writer nay, "The head
from Paris, the bod in Asia and
feet and hand from America.''
When put to a tent would be that
not of beaut or even because a
model wile is gratification among
onr beat of women of the twenti
eth century is ambition to please
all youths from 14 to 22 yettrs
of age.
Suppose we take a wite at this
age or. younger, what is a'
woman? Now is she prepared to
take all or some of the reeponsi
bllitea of life to that of wotneu
of SO fend 40 years of age. I
guess not, but it stand to
leasou that model wiles assume
much more cares in life than our
little girls who are much young
er. A model wite ebould be in
active interest of all her hus
band's interests if h W woitbv
of her love aud attention,, whVb
no doubt be is, she ie company
and must arrange herself for all
things so long as I bey both live.
She looks after the lioiise-aud it
affairs while he is away at buei
nesa all day and when be re
turns at night everything look
fresh and sweet and hi lov tor
his wile is mutial admiration
The general feeling is qut grati
fied as ever aud if the model
wife iiVMH up to every notion of
that of her husband, why, will
it be ever - necessary to have
harm and danger in the way. It
is nat always the case where an
illustration like the idea I have
just written always occurs bu)
the fault is that our maids and
youths marry too young nud the
fault is not bo hiu I upon the
children as it is the parents' who
have an hba to murry their
children oft aud then ropeut at
leisure.
The model wife of experience
with a sou ad tuiud u'ud judg
ment oau make home and alt its
surroundings a poife:t pnrudise,
but we take a girl at 14 to 17
out into the world with the same
ideas and let her do or tell what
she is going to do and become
just like her mother does, bow
tar will she get? Wb.V by the
time she father mother's age or
even before she gets that old if
she lives she will lose her 'inter
est and all her ideas or notions
aud want to leave husband and
home and go back to single life
or get out of the world.' Why?
Itacauee at the earliest maiden
days the we too youug to mar
ry, ber mind was uot settled nor
was she In a serious mood long
enough to give the subject of
nittfcijaioujf a thought loug
enough to be fully equippd for
tba duties of life that were lying
iq ber pathway. The model wife
is not always to be found. It is
as much thought to take into
consideration whq wa marry as
it a to do any other lawful act
in, sight P the world. Single, blea
pednesa is pice tq some, but to
other have . no pccusion for
marriage. This law should never
be enforced only tq thoe ho
are ju'roid ife, but aa tq the
young; whose ages J ha?o tflu
etratcdahould ueyer marry , for
years to come.
Aa to the general idea aa to
what terms, an ideal wife is not
an easv matter for every maa
thiukt hie wift hi the beet and no
other eaa take that wife's place.
Our writer of this article has
had no experience aa to a model
wife and jet if he should find one
it wonld be pattern for all to
follow. She doubtless would be
good and kind and loveable
whose house will be as hand
some Mean be on the inside.
She should be ready to receive
him on his retora. and also at
his departure for the day
arrancre vonr hoase in general
and see to the wants ot the cook
and hired girls as well as to
allf
men about vonr place. Pay alf
bills and . ma no debts if possible.
Don't idle away yonr time mak
ing calls to see neighbors. Call
on sick and the minister. Do all
the good yon can to entertain
strangers and. make tbem feel at
home. Have yournSoms swept
and this is generally what the
model wife should do. Of course
husband and wife are differently
situated. Some can live ia the
country wbile'otbers like city
Pay particular attention of
what kind of a ife we get. The
start for some are 'as economical
and will epend - Hater than we
can make. Yet, as a ru!e model
wives are at ease in a way. while
others are not, so earing. As to
a country girt lor a wife is far
superior in many way a to those
who have been brought up in the
eitv. As to the latter wife he
liken theaters, operas, high life,
society and drese, and out late
at uights every Week, and all this
that eoes to make bp a eitv lite.
Whereas a country wire ia ignor
ant to all such and has no ad
vantages maybe, and they gener
ally make the best ot wives. Not
of life eternal to either says the
writer, bat merely shows the
difference the eitv wife has over
the country wife. It is only mat
ter of though tfulness on his part
between getting a country girl
for a model wife or a eity(on.
A model country girl wife is to be
admired, and uext is the south
ern girl who in a way would
make a model wife, as our bache
lor writer has been down there,
it is where he started bis first
newspaper aud has had some ex
perience in seeing the type of the
southern girl in whose bouses be
had met what we might call
specimens of model wives, but to
their idess of the matter they
fail their expectations were toe
high and their prospects of the
future was uot what tbey thought
it would have beeu had they
looked for serious results ou the
start. Men tuu riod, bat are now
repenting at leisure. Some have
no way to either help ttetnselvea
of their wives to the road of
prosperity. Ihssa celleq term
of model wife become peauloua.
The la tent a of the hoar has
prevailed upon the drainage of

of the farmers pig.
THE EXPECTED ENOAOEMENT.
Me thinks I hear sounds of
voices from some unknown part
of the houee, but what it all
could have meant, we could not
quite make out. A voice was
heard in a distant room where a
number bad gathered there, and
aa I look, I beard solemn
thoughts say. maid, do you like
him well? Yon bee 1 'o the an
swer ciieJ. Ami to you my
yoatb are eat lulled to love her
well to become your bi ids. The
youth in quick aa thunder an
swered back, No, and I don't
wane her:' I -am not ready to
stand asunder, pray, maid,
don't wonder. The tnagttrate
was called to diuner and even to
house of wonder, i ny rest were
washed, the maid remember, but
her love was left to prove iu won
der, when, three hetd are prone
to thander. and lives are left to
surrender fur one maid to tie,
but wbat the rest; a married wo
man to become poeeeesed. The
expected engagement known b;
soene arreat and none at all. To
ftx a wedding to suit the crowd
I shall not move in heavea alone.
The ta.ks and looks tney gave
saitt seat! us all to the grave.
There was one girl who bad
knott, and she was punaeuued to
salt as the other lot, but groom
wot bay for the wife mill not.
Thoroughly maawed in one job
lot, let couple themselves make
out a lot and on the quia" re
member sweet forget me not.
It seems curious engagement
of ancient days, that all young
folks cant have their way with
out the help of cooks aud maids
to interfere with married ways.
This engaged couple waa incouv.
piste and it euded by loss of grief.
The groom was not ready, nor
the bride waa not. too, tor ex
pected engagement was not sure
enough through. Aud the les
sons wa learn iu our time don't
ever get engagement, . If voq
can't carry them through, delays
are dangerous, and fire ot love ia
too. So don't- get engaged If
you can't carry it through.
The above idea waa taken,
through a sensation overheard
by editor oa'aooie of hi travels,
and he stopped at. aa Inn foe,
diuner. The cook, was. trying to
play minister in helping a couple
, love each other no she could mar-.
ry them off, for she had .seen,
them, very attentive. i
f CHASE, VOK PEER,
It aeemathat E. baa. heard
great accounts, and on the
moruiuK of the, 13th of, October,
one ot the influential boarders of
Editor's acquaintance waa. out
hunting lor deer with others.
takTug boaW the great
hunter went alone, sitting ia hia
.boat with, gun, hear; by behind
him, he set out for day a, shoot
ing. Kothing very, startling at
first occurred to our lone horo
until later when a muekrat came
running to his boat, and . the
sounds of dogn in the wood was
beard after deer, and they tbo't
to aronse his interest . speeding
away like Are; when, to, and be
hold, he saw a deer, and in the
fright of 200 feet the buck
bounded near him with a splash
in the waters. Shooting' was in
vain, said the hunter to himself,
and reached a landing after a
bio; roe and pulled his boat into
another pond, called Clear Pond;
then, with the field glass, saw a
brick with line horns swimming
away at 44 rode ahead ot the
hunter who was on shore. It
eemn in bis excitement Ot the
moment he reached back for hia
gttn and rocked the boat so that
to his surprise it filled with
Water, and before the hunter
could take aim the bout began
to sink, thus placing him waist
deep in about 40 feet of water.
The deer of course got awav,
while the hunter, being a good
swimmer, e( niggled as beet he
couhl, clinging to hie Winchester
ith one hand and swimming;
tramely with tha other hand on
the bottom of the cauoe, which
was bottom side up, aud he
climbed up on top of his boat
very much exhausted. He had to
sit on the tame for eeveral home
to hie " way when another boat
came uug sua towed nun to
the shorw where be lav for some
time coming around aud dr.';iuic
hia elotI.ee.
What shall we sm next aa Edit
or fluds ia his travels so roman
tic during the past rear, and we
cannot Hod in another paper, aa
to this adveutura of our noted
tlero, aa a general thiiur it muwt
have been a friendship the editor
bail picked up and th romance
as such he took to publishing
his friend's predicament, for it
might have beau a water grave
and a sad recollection among
the remaining hunter and
friends upon the sporting expe
dition. Editor is uot fond of
hunting and grouse like moat
men are of his age, if not young
er, et all he care is the novelty
and experience upoa another's
enjoyment.
The liie of our Hero of this pa
per ia' very wonderfully mad
and aa for catching game of
any kind, mush be ou laud and
without the aid of canoe, for
dear deer are to different kind
of game, when you can tame one
on land, but the other is wild,
and must be caught by fire,
emoke and alarm. Dear can, be
caught iu time without taking
vtheir life; pet them and they will
become docile to you, but it you
make her mad and foolish, eli&L

CHAMFIOIT OF FRANK-

' BY AIIUO!IACK KIT.
Some gentlemen once, (who they
are I'll not say)
8at sipping their tea; in an inn far
away,
The had been disonssing the sob-
jeet of flsb, -When
r caught them, said one,. I
oant help but wish
That some of the fish did not have
any skin,
Especially those with a horn in
each flu,
Bullpnnts, said another, pshaw
yon are not in it.
loan dress them as fast; sight in
a minute.
Yon st reach it Fred, whose going
to believe that?
Believe it or not, but I'll bet you
a hat.
Then spoke the waiterees, who was
.taurine; near by,
There's some fluh just brought in
if yon like to try.
Thar' a obance to prjve your
ability Fred,
It's too late, why, we all should he
in bed-
It takes but a minute ft r you to
wkin eight.
That's uot very long, so I gbee I
oau wait.
Hut m kuife isn't sharp. Ill let
you take mine, .
So Fred marched out, tb rest
followed in line,
"Out they are alive, yes, the flsb er
man said.
You can't akin a Bullpont after he
is dead,
Fred rolled up his sleeve and al.
so went to work.
Each stood with watoh in baud.
These wa uo ahano to shirk.
His Sogers he punched on the
ham of the Ash,
The knifer would not go in the
1 direction he wished.
His friend laughed audiably all
the while,.
He was doiog well, they admired
his skill. : "
It was one in eight minutes, said
cue, and eight iu one,.
And so they kept on till una bull
pout was dressed.
And when that was finished he sat
down to rest.
They asked the fisherman to show
them the way,
This was quickly done, it merely
ohilds play, ,
You rip down tha back and alio
up the top fin
You break the back bone and then
pall oil the skin.
They had a good laugh on the
ureat fallen Fred.
: lie's tha champion of Franklin
County they saio.
Whenever hia storie they don't
