A SILLY WOMAN.
A Chicago wife is trying to get a di­
vorce on these grounds:
Iler husband, she says in her com­
plaint. “does not measure up to the
standard of heroism so evident in the
leading male figures of novels in size,
grace or daring.”
Ehieu!
If this woman should succeed on
these allegations, when* would the rest
of married munkiud appear?
Very few average husbands are able
to measure up to the heroes in the
pages of Meredith. Nicholson and Mc­
Cutcheon either as to “size, grace or
daring."
Of course the Chicago wife has
merely read herself into vapid imbe­
cility, but she Is nevertheless n pro­
nounced type of other women who com­
pare their everyday husbands with the
armored knights who. with caparison­
ed horses and nodding plumes, amble
through the pages of Booth Tarking­
ton and Walter Scott.
Pitiful?
It is pitiful not only from the side of
the honest, striving busband, but piti­
ful because the woman who pines for
a hero in jingling harness is not able
to recognize the real husband hero at
her side.
There is a heroism in doing one's
plain duty that Is worth more than a
library of book gallantry.
Looking for heroes?
You will not find them in the velvet
doublet and silken hose of “The Pris­
oner of Zenda.” but in the ready made
garments advertised ou spacial sale in
the uewspapers.
Many an undersized, round shoulder­
ed. hardworking husband is living in
dally martyrdom for the sake of his
family. And the pathetic part of ft is
nobody, least of all bls family, is able
to Bee the sacrifice.
And scarcely does the victim himself
realize, lie does not complain and
would laugh at being called a hero.
Heroism?
How is the rescue of a fair maiden
from some high castle tower to be
compared with the daily grind of a de­
voted man toiling like the slnve of a
galley to give his wife position or com­
forts or working himself into bls
grave to give his children such an
«•ducation as was denied him when a
boy?
Romance?
It Is the romance of reality!
Stupid and blind, the woman who
sighs for “grace and daring" In her
husband and who cannot see tn his
daily self abnegation and heroic striv­
ing the beauty and the grace of true
chivalry.
OPEN YOUR WINDOWS'
Some very interesting experiments
are being made at the State Agricul­
tural college of Missouri.
For instance:
There are in the whole world at
present Just seventeen cows that give
700 pounds of butter or more per year.
Five of these seventeen are at this col­
lege.
How those cows must be pampered,
you say. And you have visions of
warm, sanitary stalls iu a beautiful
barn.
That is where you are mistaken. All
the winter long, except during very
severe storms, they spend the day iu
the open Helds.
Another experiment:
This one was made in fattening beef
cattle. One bunch was put into a
shed entirely open nt one end; one
bunch was put into the open; a third
bunch was kept iu a tine, warm barn
The cattle In the open fields, staying
there day and night, thrived best. Of
course they ate more food to combat
the cold, but they gave more beef per
pound of ftstl than the others.
What 1 want to emphasize is this:
If the healthiest, thriftiest cattle are
brought up in the open fields, how can
human beings, who need oxygen Just
as much as cows do. hope to thrive by
cooping themselves up and keeping the
fresh air out?
The point of the observation Is In
the answer.
The other morning, in order to catch
an early train, I walked downtown.
In traversing the streets for nearly
two miles I kept a lookout for open
windows.
How many? Just two!
Most of these people not only kept I
their windows tightly closed during
the night, but worked all day in closed
offices or shops.
And lest they should get a breath of
pure oxygen they rode to their work
in street cars containing foul air su­
perheated by a hot stove.
They know better, most of them.
One could almost wish that persons
who so deliberately violate tills re­
quirement of well being might be tak­
en by civilization and forced Into the
