EARTH ILL BE
A PARADISE
Chicago Educator Says Pres
ent Century Will See Utopia
Realized.
CHICAGO, Feb. 6. A prediction
that Americans are soon to bo citi
zens of the dream ot ages and that
our democracy is to blossom into a
"Kingdom of Heaven on Earth," is
mado br Professor W. B. Elkin, of
the University of Missouri. He has
recorded his opinions in the Ameri
can Journal of Sociology, the Janu
ary number of which was issued re
cently from the University of Chicago
press. The prophesy is made in an
article, "The Problem of Civilization
in the Twentieth Century."
The author believes that in the
century the earth will become many
times more fruitful, the population
of the globe will lncreaes many-fold,
transportation will be cheapened and
finally "a heaven and new earth will
appear." ,
Before arriving at these Utopian
conclusions Professor Elkin Insists
that many changes must be made in
the country's organization. Ho in
sists: "1. That every village and city
must have a public physician who
must not only cure people, but keep
them well.
"2. That the government must
supply who will glvo legal advice
free.
"3. That the clergy must take a
brace and quit imitating.
"4. That the colleges should print
nnd edit the newspapers.
"5. That insurance should be a
function of government.
"C. That railroads should .charge
no more than one-fourth of a cent a
mile.
"7. That the cook question must
be solved by gigantic eating clubs.
"8. That labor must keep on organizing."
MARRIAGE CONTRACT 12000
YEARS OLD A REVELATION
Shows Wives of Ancient Egypt Con
trolled Money Matters and Es
tablishes Pharaoh's Reign.
TOLEDO, O., Feb. 7. A marriage
contract over 2000 years old, discov
ered in a tomb near Carlo, Egypt,
nnd now in the collection of tho Mu
seum of Art, Toledo, O., has, it Is
announced been deciphered by tho
ogyptologists at tho University of
Strassburg, Germany, and found to
be, from a historic standpoint, ono
of tho most Important documents
brought to light in recent year3.
George W. Stevens, director of the
Toledo museum, says:
"Tho papyrus establishes a period
of an Egyptian Pharaoh whoso tinio
of roign has been hitherto unknown,
nnd gives us documentary evidence
of tho exalted financial position ac
corded to married women In Egypt
threo centuries boforo Christ. Tho
lost Pharaoh whoso period of reign
is established is Khabbasha and tho
tlmo is 312, B. C.
"From the translation it is estab
lished that in caso tho wife repudiat
ed tho husband sho nllowed him to
take back half his dower. Tho Egyp
tian husband not only received noth
ing from tho bride, but had to put up
n bonus to mnko hlmsolf a matri
monial possibility. Tho document
shows that in caso of a separation
ho was allowed by his wife to tako
but one-third of tho monoys they
should have acquired together dur
ing tho tlmo they wero married."
LEAP YEAll ADVICE.
I am llttlo lato with my leap year
editorial, partly because there doesn't
seem to be any noticeable increase in
marriage licenses and partly because
I don't know what to say, anyhow. A
littlo wholesome advice, perhaps, and
a few kind words of warning, will bo
about all, I guess, after which a
couple of the brethren will pass tho
contribution boxes; and then wo will
sing a hymn or two and the meeting
will adjourn.
Ladles, before you ask your sweet
heart to give up that priceless treas
ure, single blessedness, ponder over
I the matter. Don't rush in and dare
him to marry you without consulting
his parents or the Btars. Many a
young man has boon yanked from a
happy home where cares abounded
not and where llfo was one grand,
glorious panorama of gladness, to an
existence of toil and privation and
misery. See to it that your incomo
will support him in tho regal splen
dor to which he has been accustomed
before nsklng him to bust the homo
ties and go out with you Into a sor
did world of which ho wots not a
wot. Think twice or three times be-
foro you lead him to the marriage
halter,
Look Into the innermost depths of
his gentle, trusting heart and If it
beats a note or two out of tune, never
never ask him to get up and build
the early morning fire, or somq day
his heart will beat rag tlmo and he
will kick the bucket with more or less
alacrity. Stay at home nights as of
ten as possible for when tho lights
are dim and low and mice and men
gang aft aglee, and several other
blood-curdling noises are getting in
their work, and you return home to
find youd loving and lonesome hus
band in tears and tho cat in the gravy
dish, you will never forgive your
self. Try paddling your rolling-pin.
Many a poor husband has been driv
en out into the world by harsh meas
ures where a little kindness practiced
here and there would teach him to
admire and even respect you at times.
Avoid pouring hot grease down his
back whenever possible. This has a
tendency to make him nervous and
excltablo and will eventually cause
him to chew tobacco. When you are
wiping up the floor with your beloved
husband and slamming him against
tho red hot stove and knocking the
spots off him generally and throwing
tho remains Into the spittoons, just
remember it was not always thus, and
no matter how much money you have
swiped out of his pockets he is still
your husband. Try and keep all his
love In the family. If you can't hand
lo it all n your business, train the
hired girl, for no fairer flower grows
than a husband with tho rose-bloom-of
lovo on his cheek and the love
light In his mouse-colored eyes.

THE PARADISE OF
THE "BOOZE FIGHTER"
Horn's u Problem: Who Paid For tho
Cow boy's Whiskey?
A London paper, which Is far
enough away to bo safo, started a
Mary Ann problom thus: In tho
.United States tho Mexican dollar has
nn exchange vnluo of 90 cents. In
Mexico tho American silver dollar
lias tho sarao vnluo. On tho frontier
of the United Statos, whoro Toxas
Joins Moxlco, thero aro two saloons,
ono on each sldo of the frontier. A
cowboy buys a 10-cent drink of
whiskey nt tho American saloon and
pays for it with nn Amorican Bllvor
dollar, receiving a Mexican dollar as
chango. With this ho crossed tho
border, goes Into tho Moxlcan for a
10-cent drink and rocolves nn Ameri
can dollar as exchange It is ovldent
that tho limit ot his purchasing pow
er Is tho length of time ho can Btand.
Ho flnnlly wakes up with a bad head
ache and tho American dollar with
