She Tells Why Some Women
Should Not Marry Politi
cians or Lawyes.
In America, where all trade is
eminently respectable, and the
°»ly leisure class is composed of
hoboes it would seem that a man's
occupation, provided it was hon
est, cut little figure in Ins matri
monial prospects. Nevertheless,
I sun in receipt of a letter from a
young woman who writes that her
future lord's business is distaste
ful to her, and asks whether she
is justified, on that account, in
breaking the engagement.
Personally, I should only ask if
the business in question was suf
ficiently profitable to stand my
raids on the bargain counter.
This may he, however, a superfi
cial view of a serious question,
and inasmuch as the average man
is merely a reflex of his business
without doubt a woman does well
to take a man’s occupation into
consideration before she marries
him.
A woman who is marrying a
clergyman, for instance, should
ask herself before she takes the
fatal step whether she is meek
and lowly enough in spirit to wear
made over dresses and last year's
bird’s nests for bonnets, because
the congregation bold that good
clothes are sinful in the minister’s
wife. She should also reflect that
a preacher is saturated with ador
ation, and that it will be up to
her to give her husband a double
distilled brand of flattery if she
keeps in the running. No jealous
woman who can not distinguish
between a spiritual interest in a
sister soul and a bodily interest
in her heart should irarry a
preacher unless she is starting
out to hunt for tremble.
If a doctor pioposes—a real
doctor, who does bis duty—a
woman should take into consid
eration whether she would rather
have a homeopathic dose of his
society than an allopathic dose of
a business man's. She would
i ii iw that he will have no time
for society and tittle for his fami
ly. llis hours, when not office
hours, are spent in study or visit
ing patients. He never keeps en
gagements with his wife, and life
with him is a waiting game, where
A HEALTH POLICY
The system is, from natural
causes, debilitated or run-down
both in the spriug and fail. The
seasons’ changes are always a tax
on the human organism. The
blood becomes impure in the
spring, and vitality lags in the fall.
A little care, a little assistance,
and nature will do the rest, as it is
always trying to maintain health.
Frequently the weakest organ will
show the most disorder, and this
often leads to wrong treatment.
For the debilitated conditions
of spring or fall, or any other
time, for that matter, the right
thing to do is to build up the
whole system. It is not your stom
ach. or liver, or nerves alone that
cause the trouble: you are weak
ened all over and must have re
newed strength and vitality. These
you cannot get so
quickly or surely or
JffSr safely as by using
f Dr. HARTER’S
" IRON TONIC
When you use Dr. Harter’s Iron
Tonic you are helping to renew
the vigor of every liber of your
body. You are cleansing and en
rich ing your blood; you are
strengthening your stomach and
increasing the digestive fluids; you
are building up and renewing the
activity of your kidneys and liver;
and you are feeding and revitaliz
ing your nervous system. You
cannot do this without getting
well, and you cannot take Dr. Har
ter's Iron Tonic without doing it.

i
she is always on the ragged edge
of uncertainty. For the methodi
cal woman matrimony with a doc
tor is n bad risk.
The curious woman should
never marry a lawyer. If he is
successful divorcing couples who
have gone astray or shedding the
guilty who ought to be puished,
he is bound to have secrets from
his little tootsie wootsio wife that
she is dying to find out, and a hus
band who knows the warm facts
in a scandal and won’t tell them
is an aggravation that is enough
to drive any woman into the di
vorce court.
The woman who contemplates
marrying an author must ask her
self if she can bear the inevitable
comparison with the inimitable
perfections of the heroines her
husband creates. It must be a
little trviug to be a sawed-off
woman with a dumpy figure and
hay colored hair, to read the des
cription of a gorgeous creature
seven feet high, with a roseleaf
skin and golden locks, and know
that she is the ideal of feminine
pulchritude her husband cherish
es in his secret soul.
The woman who marries an
actor must consider if she can
stand to see the man she loves
make love to another woman, and
throw enough ginger into the
scene to make it go, without
wanting to tear the stage heroine’s
hair and read the riot act to
ltomco when he gets horn?. Many
women have tried this. Few have
s icceeded. Hence the brevity of
stages inaniages.
A politician’s wife is either his
hoo d jo or his mascot. Men
may overlook his gratis and grafts
and forget his past record, but
the barkeeper, whose wife his
wife snubbed, knifes him in the
primaries. No woman should
marry a politician unless nature
has gifted her with the glad hand,
and who is not willing to put the
red plush offering of the ’Sceenth
ward in the front parlor. Fur
thermore *ho must leflect that
her hushtMid must give the best of
himself to the public, and that
his smiles and diplomacy are too
valuable for homo consumption.

He Wants a King.
Richard Mansfield, the eminent
actor, recently returned from an
European trip. Mr. Mansfield
was visited by a reporter for the
Philadelphia Noilh American,
and the result of the visit i» thus
disenbed : “Obseiving the pall
of smoke hanging over New York,
Mr. Mansfield asked what it
meant. Told that it was caused
by the burning of soft coal, he ex
claimed : ‘What, hasn't the coal
strike beer, settled yet? It’s a
shame, a great shame. This sort
of thing makes me think that a
monarchy would be the best thing
for us in America. Why, isn’t it
better to be ruled by a good king
than to have this constantly
changing government? It’s
change, change, change, all the
time over here. First Tom, then
Dick, then Harry in the presi
dential chair. I tell you it’s all a
mistake. We need a man like
Emperor William. He’d settle
this coal strike in short older.
He would simply say to this man
“You do this,” and to thut man,
“You do that,’’ and it would all
be over. I think it’s a crime to
let it go on. If there’s a inaa in
this country who can stop it, and
who is holding back for individual
reasons, I say he deserves to be
taken out and shot.’ ” Although
Mr. Mansfield has made some
thing of a success on the stage,
he has certainly missed his Cill
ing. The republican party needs
bis services. He should be elect
ed to the United States senate in
order that he might employ his
eminent abilities in the effort to
establish the Mansfield idea,
which does not materially differ
from the idea of the republican
party.—The Commoner.
The Railroad Work.

Headed Toward Carthage.
From tin nuthorutive source it
is learned that the Missouri Paci
fic will run its White river exten
sion to Carthage, Mo., whore it
will connect with the present line
of the company running from
Kansas City to Carthage. By
making this connection the Mis
souri Pacific will have a direct
line from Kansas City to Mem
phis. The White river extension
is what is really know as the
Batesville brunch of the Iron
Mountain running from Newport
to Batesville. This road has
l>een in operation for a number
of years. During the past year
the road has been extended from
Batesville to Buffalo (jap. The
company is now operating regu
lar passenger trains from New
port to Buffalo Gap and a mixed
train from the junction tc Cush
man. The present intention of
the company is to continue the
extension from Buffalo Gap on
through Yellville tri Carthage,
where it will tap the Missouri
Pacific line from Kansas City.
This will not only be a great ad
vantage to the system in giving a
through line to Memphis, but it
will run across the rich mineral
fields of north Arkansas, which
means that an era of great de
velopment is dawning for that
section. Surveyors are now on
the ground locating the route and

A BIG KANSAS FARM
Contains 40,000 Acres and Is One
of the Wonders of Hod
ern Farming.
To the fiumer who carefully
cultivates forty or eighty acres, a
40,000-ucre farm is something of
a curiosity. M. M. Sherman has
such a ranch in Central Kansas.
Evety year he sells from this
ranch 2,500 fat beeves, feeds an
additional G,000 annually, and
cultivates 5,000 acres. The farm
is divided into three parts : over
each is a foreman. A boarding
house is allotted to each division
for the workers. A telephone
system connects the entire ranch.
The day's work is planned by the
foreman the night previous und
by him telephoned to each dis
trict manager. For instance, if
there is n field of wheat unduly
tipened because of hot son or
wet eaith beneath, this fact is re
ported to the foreman, who may
take some of his plow drivers
front their regular duties to har
vest the overripe wheat. But un
der ordinary circumstances every
man has Ins work to perform. In
the fail, after the wheat and oats
have been harvested, three to
four thousand acres are sowu to
forage crops, such as kaffir corn
and millet. Two thousand calves
are born on the Sherman rauce
every year. The eattle fattened
for the the market are fed not
only rough feed, but ground feet!
of all kinds. The ranch is seven
teen tit les long and has a fence
line of 100 miles, in summer
one can ride through sixty-two
squat e miles of corn and wheat
in a single field. The men go to
work at 7 o'clock and quit at 7,
with two hours at midday. Every
district foreman reports by tele
phone to Mr. Sherman ut night
the work done during the day ajfc
over the finch. The employees,
are paid, on an average, $20 a
month, with a bonus jf $5 in
harvest time, if a man is mar
ried lie is given $10 a month ad
ditional. Although the ruuch is
devoted principally to breeding,
fattening and selling cattle, it
produced over a million bushels
of wheat this season. Mr. Sher
man is now trying to do away
with herse-power and is using
traction engines to plow, harvest
and haul the grain.
