Foresters will tell questioner-; that in
the case of trees iu mountainous coun- j

tree to turn upward and if it manages
to wlthstund the weight of the snow of j
the next winter, that portion of the
tree will, as a general rule, continue to

Little Problems

W1LLIAM GEORQE IORDAN
THE TYRANNY OF TOO TIGHT A
REIGN.
(Continued from Yesterday)
There !<r>> men and women who thus
kill love carelessly: they may have a
great ! >v. secure, right In their hands,
hut there Is a pressure of doubt, ty
rauny. di>tru>t >>r compulsion and the
life of th:it love may die. Love crows
strong with freedom, confidence and
trust. Love that needs constant watch
In; Is nor worth watching, and no
guarding through fear of its honor will
ever keep it from str-iying. Its
| strength must be in Itself nnd In the
I Inspiration that conies from reallza
! tion. recognition and response.
| There are hemes that are over-gov
i erned. They h;t*e as many laws, rules
and regulations as an Institution. They
remind you of these closely printed
charts for coiidm-t tacked on the iuner
side of doors in hotel rooms. In these
homes you move about gingerly for
! fear of stepping inaiivertently on a
"don't." No individual is big enough,
nor wise enough, nor grent enough to
dnre ro live the life of another, not
with him. but for him. If he were all
these his reverence for the Individual
rights iif oth"r< would make it Impos
sible for him to usurp their sacred
privilege of freedom In living their own
lives, fully, freely, frankly, at their
best.
Tills domestic tyranny rules in tnou
sands of homes. It means the wrong
of two—the one who Inflicts It and the
one who bears It. We hear much of
the grace of patience and the beauty
of Ion? suffering'. They are virtues
when it means self-sacrifice for the
right, vices when for the wrong. Tol
erating injustice meekly without pro
test and a mighty effort to overthrow
It when no good cause is served, no
noble purpose promoted is not moral
bravery, it Is sheer cowardice. It Is
the fear of an unpleasant half-hour
that may save years of suffering. The
one who bears meekly is doing injus
tice to herself or to himself and—to
the other. It means weakening and
wronging self and feeding the evil in
another's nature by inaction.
The wife may say "he would flare up
In an awful temper If I said a word."
Let hiiu flare, but let him understand
that you will not be a party to it.
These home bosses are ahyiys bullies
and bullies are always cowards. They
do not stand out long against a bold
defiance that shows no feur. At the
first manifestation of this variety of
performance, let husband or wife state
positively that no encores will be per
mitted. At a Quiet, dignified session,
with no shade of anger but Just a
calm, cool ultimatum that while the
Innocent one Is willing to do the square
thing in every relation, and to meet
bravely whatever the tides of fate may
bring and to suffer for the other, but
never from the other.
Like most evils it is easy to meet in
the beginning and it Is th<?n It should
liquet id. Lhv riiLhl suirlt tur
I of both. /T single bold stand for (lit
! right Is worth years of cowardly pa
tience for the wrong.
The greatest trials and sorrows are
those that do not come from outside
j the home, but are absolutely created
within, that are manufactured for one
. by the temper or wrong of the other.
They are absolutely preventable and
there should be a kindly helpful spirit
on the part of both to remove any
wrong that separates them rather than
to Intensify the reign of the wrong by
1 weak and meekly bearing. It Is not
| selfishness, but the reckless assertion
j of Individuality, but the consecrated
wisdom that seeks to cure what It can
not endure and to endure what It can
not cure.
Love and sweet conference smooths
out so many of these problems. Let
there be but one boss and that one—
the two. I.et them unite In loving com
radeship and fine co-operation, each do
ing the best without thought of com
petition or conquest and then even the
wish of one become the will of both,
in union and unity, with no tyranny
but that of love, love of right, love of
peace, love of justice and love of each
other.
Women Best Prevaricators.
"Women are better liars than men.
but God bless them Just the same,"
said Police Magistrate J. M. Fitzgerald
of the Omaha police court.
"Women come Into court and He
right along, under oath. Their lies do
not show on their faces, either, but I
can tell they are lying because their
stories contradict those of reliable wit
nesses.
"When men lie thfy hesitate, turn
red. swallow, etc. One can tell they're
lying Just by watching their faces and
necks.
"Hut you can't tell It on c woman.
They lie outrageously and stick to
their stories In the face of everything.
They know Just the right time to de
viate from the truth, too. Their lies
always count In the outcome of their
trials—If they are believed. Men
haven't the same knack at the art that
women police court characters have."
