HOW AN EXEMPLARY HUSBAND ALMOST DROVE HIS.WIFE TO LUNACY THE STAY AT HOME AS CONSTANT IRRITANT Woman Should Be Taken to the Theater, to Concerts and Balls — Man Should So Arrange as to Spend a Portion of His Evenings Away From His Domicile. My friend, Ebenezer Butterworth Snagues, tells me that I have made a new employee in his employees. When he called to see me, socially the other evening, he said that his porter, Clonough, had asked him what his alied his wife. I told Snagues to send Clonough up to my office some afternoon and I would talk the matter over. Mr. Clonough called the next afternoon and briefly described his wife's condition. He said: "I can't imagine what he would like to quiet; doesn't like society; don't like to go to the theater, or to concerts, or lectures, in fact, all she does want to do is out of the house to call on any one a once week. I do all the shopping, such as buying groceries, meat and vegetables, and make life as easy as I can for him. I asked Cleonough if his wife had to work very hard. He said: "Oh not! She gets up about half-past five in the morning to build a house, she has shamed to say that, but it’s pretty hard work in the store, and I don’t feel comfortable to say that, Mrs. Cleonough says she just as soon build the fire as not. I get up at 6 and she has breakfast all ready for me, and I don’t feel comfortable to train leaves at half-past seven, and as I don’t have time in the store I read the paper while I am eating and finish the meal. I have gone to the kitchen after I have gone, the missis washes the dishes and tidies up things and does her routine work about the house. She’s a great woman for routine work, and she has kind of works; on weekends kinds of works; on weekdays kinds of works; on Monday; on Tuesday, and so on through the weekend; on dinner for herself, she just takes a lunch; a bit of bread and a cup of tea, and not always that, because she says she takes a nap in the afternoon she begins to get the regular dinner, and that keeps her busy until I get home at half-past six. Then we have dinner and I read the evening news and then she takes her knitting or sewing and employees her time while I am so tired, and then she takes my sleeping and I usually fall asleep and don’t wake up again until bedtime." Irritable and Fitful. "Nothing especial seems to be the matter with her, butately faint. If I don't listen to what she is saying, when she is asking questions or talking of what she actually loses her temper and folds, and that prevents my reading or thinking, and disturbs my nap, and off in a fit of the suiks. She has been told that she is not so nervous that she feels as if she would fly, and she is so tired that she is the other. It's strange, though. I don't see why she she should be so nervous, because she ways quiet in the house. She doesn't have much company. There's nobody in the house to worry her, not even a "Well," I said. "I think I know pretty well what the trouble is, but with my wife, I don't have to worry about morning and talk with your wife." In accordance with this promise I did call Mrs. Clemough one of the long and lank women of an extremely nervous temperament, very unassuming, and very diffident disposition, and not at all self-assertive. After gaining her confidence she must be further lonesome here. "Oh mori'tor," she exclaimed. "Jonesome is no name for my wife; her fortune is confinement; her desert isle. But I wouldn't think of saying that to my husband; he is so terrified of home, and he has so much to worry him. I thought it was rather strange that Mr. Clemough worry about, as he was a steady-going man, had no bad habits, had a good, permanent position, and was well and well cared for. I asked his wife. I did ask her if she liked amusements. If she and her husband didn't go to a concert or a theater one Would Like to Go to Theater. She said, "Oh no. I should dearly love to go to the theater occasionally, but I don't. It is so tired that he doesn't want to do anything when he gets home but eat his supper, pipe, ice cream, take a nap, and he never thinks of even suggesting that we go out anywhere. Why, we don't even eat at the restaurant, he says he is no society man, and of course if we don't call on the neighbors to "i snooze," Mrs. Cleenaugh, said I, "that you don't have very much work to do." Well, yes, I do have a good job, but it keeps me busy the time. My husband is awfully hard on clothes, but it keeps me busy the time. My house is as neat a clean shirt and dollar and cuffs. So my washing is quite large. Wednesday it takes about 10 minutes to house is so near the railroad that it gets awfully dirty, and it takes a good amount of time to clean it. Mr. Cleenaugh is a heavy earl, too, and I cook a big dinner every day and I cook cakes and plies for the week. I didn't make any comments on her work, but I thought that she had done all of it. I asked her to say: "Of course you and your husband go to church on Sunday," and she said: "Of course you and your husband not want to dress up Sunday. He says he's tired and wants to read and so forth. He says the only time he does have to himself." I suppose, "I said, you take lilies and so forth." No, "said she, "Mr. Clenough doesn't want to go; he says there is not enough of crowds in the city every day. If he has a day off he goes with some chum somewhere in the woods, and so forth, says that's the kind of a rest he likes." Is a Handy Man—"Well, of course," then said, "I you Send Her to Lively Places. "There's another thing I want to say, Clenough, and I know you have too much to terpest my advice. It would be a good idea if you didn't stick quite so close to the house. Of course, I don't want you to have any such resorts of doubtful character, but there are enough good places where you can have a good time. The fact is that you have a good time, much Clenough. You are thoughtlessly selfish and your wife is self-sacrificing way and say nothing, but it worries her all the same, more so than if she gave you a good tongue-lashing once you keep to ourselves that frees the strings of life the most and最ost snaps your neighbors. Clenough keeps to your wife your wife occasionally; it will do you good and do them good. Clenough follows your advice, and she gained flesh and I saw his wife so gained flesh and was as smiling as basket of chips, whatever that may be, and she had lost that worried, anxious look, and seemed contented and happy, and the men who work at Snagues say that Clenough himself is much more of a good fellow than he was.

SATURDAY.MARCH 14. 1903. TO EUROPE RICHSE UNCLE SAM: JUST A FRIENDLY VISIT TO SHOW THESE NEW TOYS. DR. DOYLE AND THE GROCERY CLERKER Throughout Great Britain, except in the largest towns, Sunday is very strictly observed. Edinburgh alone of the cities still keeps to the rural rules. There, not only the streets, but the parks, are open on the Lord's day. The silence is oppressive. Only church bells and sounds of feet going to or coming from worship, save occasionally the drone of a sanctimonious beggar who reads the Bible aloud from one hand and holds out his hand. With the other, greet the ear of the satirist, who is the guilty of London or Paris. "An Edinburgh Sunday" has passed the proverbial stage and is a synonym for anything dreary, even among the inhabitants of the "gray metropolis" themselves. Last fall, when Conan Doyle was campaigning for the seat in parliament which would elect a new leader, I was fortunate enough to hear him speak in a little crowded hall in Chambers street near the university. The room was full of laboring men. After the address Dr. Doyle gave an opportunity for his hearers to ask him questions. The most of these questions took shape as a series of questions about mutilations in length of working hours. A tall,江 Scottsman, representing a grocery clerks'队, arising to ask what could be expected in the way of better hours should the author turn lawnmaker, seemed to enlist the candidate's sympathies. In his clear, crisp way Dr. Doyle proceeded to sum up the wrongs of the Edinburgh clerks, winding up with, as near as I can recall them, the following words: "As for pledging myself to remedy the evils of long hours. I can only say that I am not a pledger, any class who, according to my judgment, have a grievance to be remedied. Concerning the grocery clerks, I have always REHSE UNCLE SAM: JU realized the wrong of expecting them to work from 8 a. m. till 10 p. m. six days in the week, with only an hour at noon for 'luncheon' and a little time for 'tea' off a cheese case in the back room, with occasionally a mid-week half holloway (beginning at 8 p. m. and at the end of such a week—here he drew a deep sign) of the state of an Edinburgh Sunday! It is needless to state that the little hall in Chambers street rang with aplause. IN THE WOOD.

Greatest Printing Office in the World Greatest Printing Office in the World N KEEPING with the national policy of world-dile expulsion, Uncle Sam is now, building at the capital of the state, a large office and a private establishment on the globe. Work upon this huge structure commenced in summer 1915, and in about two-thirds completed. The building is located at the northwest corner of North Capitol and G streets, and its massive frame of steel, with its massive brick and brick as high as the fifth story. The office is 408 feet long by 175 feet 3 inches wide, and is the addition to the basement and an attic. There is also a storage vault extending under the alleywalk along the entire length of the building, with 10,000 and 12,000 bricks. The erection of this structure 12,700,000 pounds of structural steel have been used, and, when completed, there will have been a total of 12,000 bricks. There will also have been employed 4,000,000 pounds of iron and brass fittings and over 800,000 feet of hardwood flooring. The foundation is 12,000 and 12,000 bricks. If wrought into rails, would lay a railway a distance of forty-three miles across the Potomac river, bridges across the Potomac river. From it and from other iron and brass fittings could be constructed seventy-four locomotives of the The building is to be equipped with its own lighting, including plants, embracing within its walls, and housing from which could be generated sufficient heat, illumination and general commercial power for a city of 200,000 inhabitants. The building is candleless lights, while in the neighborhood of 100 arc lamps will be used in and around the building. The number of electric lights will mean JUST A FRIENDLY VISIT TO SHOW THE oo uscissero when it is stated that cities like Richmond and Atlanta, with nearly 100,000 population each, illuminate their large network systems with less than 300 zero lights. The structure will be finished some time next fall and within twelve months will be completed. That is the great branch of the federal service known as the government printing office. It will be more nearly fireproof than any other building, and it was found necessary that this should be the case, not only because of the thousands of tons of paper, cardboard and other materials that it was made because of the fact that the government desired to throw every element of safety around the thousands of men and women it will earn their livelihood within its walls. It was decided in 1888, after a prolonged and bitter controversy, to erect a new building in a site where it is now building, and congress, on March 3, 1889, authorized its erection under the direction and supervision of the architect and the public printer. Congress at this time appropriated $330,000 toward the execution of the work. It cost $200,000. In order to meet the increased prices of building material and of making the same amount of land and the same height as the main building the limit of cost was increased to $422,000. The engineer in charge of the work yesterday made the statement that the sum and that probably quite a fair-sized amount would be left in the treasury from appropriation. The passage of the law authorizing the construction of this great printing establishment, which was the permanent and magnificent portment and magnitude. Capt. John Stephen Sewell, who was then a leutenant on the army corps of engineers and a lieutenant in the secretary of the authority of the secretary of war, placed in direct charge of the work. J. G. Hill, an architect of national reputation, was selected to prepare the plans and draw By July 6, 1909, all of the old buildings July 10 proposals were closed, and the new buildings were built. Defective Page contract for excavation was awarded. Work began at once. Probably no gleaning of the history of the project was possible. The great and growing increase in the volume of printed matter necessary in the conduct of the affairs of the government and the military, by which it entered into the territory of the United States of its insular possessions and the extension of its subsidiary over the island of Cuba, and it was necessary to invest in the least possible conclusion the completion of the building. The progress had been made by the last of November, 1900, that all the structural and architectural plans had been completed except as to some details of interior design, and the equipment, plumbing, elevators, etc., were well advanced; the steel frame was in place; the machinery in place; the masonry of the basement story and underground sewerage work were nearly finished, and the inproof construction had been satisfactorily begun. To-day the foundations, the underground plains and the huge steel frame, and the brickwork and brick-walls have been built as high as the fifth floor. About 85 per cent of the construction was done, and considerable progress has been upon such parts of the mechanical equipment as could be commenced before the commencement. It can be said of the new government printing office that it is being constructed in the city of Philadelphia. The only woodwork will be the flooring and the doors. All door and window frames will be of castron, and, in the case of the windows, the frame, but the flames could go no further. The whole interior of the building is to be finished with glazed pressed wood. The most remarkable feature of this edifice is that it is so substantially constructed that it can hold up to 120,000,000 pounds. In other words, if the entire population of the city of Philadelphia could be packed within its walls, the building would be building to collapse. This includes every TO EUROPE ESE NEW TOYS. man, woman and child in the Quake City, the average weight of whom would be about seventy pounds, the average weight of whom would be about seventy pounds, the official estimate made by Capt. Sewell, who says that the floors are designed for a live weight of 300 pounds per square foot, uniformly distanced. The total floor area being more than 400,000 square feet, the engineer in charge adds that his estimate of strength of the structure is based upon the specification that the floor is made of a dead load of 125 pounds per square foot, or a total of 50,000,000 pounds. The massive character of the gigantic printer made it necessary for the government to require an unusually high unit strain in the machine, and the material and workmanship. In addition to steam heat, electric light and power, interior telephone and arm systems were installed. There were also installed in the structure every provision for the safe and speed exit in case of fire, health and comfort of the employees. Since work was commenced on this project, we have been constantly employed in its erection from 150 to 600 men, skilled and unskilled laborers, mechanics and experts in special lines. The various branches of work have been carried on under the contract system, the batik was excavated, each job being closely inspected and passed upon as it progressed by an army expert in charcoal. The men employed in the building, reflected wegen ranging from $1.50 to $4.00 per day, though in some instances specially skilled mechanics are paid far in excess of the character figure. The exterior finish of the building is of hand-made red bricks—a few pressed, but most of them are plain, except in the interior court, where an almost white-faced brick is used to improve the light.

The saving on the steel contract, however, enabled the architect's plans to be adopted, better building than it did before, better building than it originally intended to construct. Mr. Hill's design is a very simple and dignified one, but it not contain any excess of ornamentation. Inside the building the walls will be made of about six feet high and above that the white-faced bricks. A few rooms, used for office purposes, will be plastered, and the walls will be plastered and marble. In addition to these daddos on the main walls, enamel walls, elevator walls, elevator walls, elevator walls and toilet rooms. An improved feature of the interior of the building will be shut off from all stairway walls will be shut off from all building from top to bottom by brick walls, having only one fireproof door for the stairway.

I hope you like the tomatoes; I suspect that the growers won't eat tomatoes; that they won't eat tomatoes; unless the seeds are strained out, but have an idea that tomatoes cause cancer, but that's bosh, too." Have some cream with your oats—times milk develops poisons in itself due to the growers' germs and have a piece of cheese, too, have a piece of Roquefort. Do you know how they make it? Strange to me, but I am mildly with the card. It's a funny thing, too how bread molds. Mold spores are floating around everywhere in a fertile soil for them they germinate and the mold grows just as plants do in a soil that couldn't exist without them. "When I was in the medical school, we had an awful scare at first, we were where, we hardly dared to eat anything, but we got over that. The professor explained away and shrivelled to a fertile soil; if we were strong and healthy they couldn't get a start, but just withered away and shrivelled to a fertile soil; if we might be hale and hearty and give the germs no chance to take root. Then you know the white corpuscles of the blood to some of the bigger Killers for fighting the microbes; they not only kill 'em, but they eat 'em up. For that reason, we need to have blood and plenty of it and for that reason it is necessary to eat good food and plenty of it; otherwise that the microbes like, for when you are weak they are strong and some pungus consumptive germ or some of his relations will surely cause a common Germs in Dress Skirt. "By the way, Mrs. Snagues," I said, as we adjourned to the parlor. "I see what a lot of germs you sweep up out of the streets and some of them very wicked germs too. I have no doubt that you have more germs of consum-ment than you did with help from other things in the hem of your skirt than there are people in the whole country to cleanse, she runs the risk of being attacked by millions of germs any one would be a murderer. Oh! It is an awful subject, these germs, but if we think too much about them we keep in mind that they don't have much chance. If they did it would be worse than the deluge, for there be no ark of refuge against them." I offered to show Mrs. Snagues a few consumptive bacillis, and such things under the microcosm myself. It was getting late and they must get home. "Perhaps it's just as well," said Mrs. Snagues. "I think I could ink specks and you wouldn't recognize one if you met it in the soup."

You know you are always welcome and I like your company. Mrs. Snagues says that microbes now, she's burned that book about microbes and says she don't believe that doctors know what they are doing. Fairy tale you told last night, wasn't it?" "Fairy tale!" said I, "not a bit of it. It was all true, every word of it, and it didn't have made it more fearful." "Well," said Snagues, "maybe so, but you can't make Mrs. Snagues believe "Now look here, Snagues," I said, "don't you go and make any mistakes.

"I say," exclaimed Mr. Ebenezee, Butterworth Snagues, as I dropped in to his office, just to pass the time of day, "come out and take lunch with me—or say we make it dinner." We were in a carriage, an old marketman himself, and know what good food is, and, as he caters to marketmen, who also know what marketman sets a first class table. It was a little before noon, so the rush had not yet started and we got to the marketman's clam chowder.

Edythella, the youngest daughter of The Appeal man, aged five years, like many other little tots, is constantly making some sage remark or observation that gives evidence of thought worthy of one of more mature years. The Appeal man, like all fathers who wish to bring up their children in the WHERE TO BING UP way they should go, is constantly telling his children what they should or should not do, on the dout-do-as-i do, but do-as-i-say theory. A few days since, at the breakfast table, he was talking quite earnestly on some subject, the importance, of which he wished to impress upon the minds of the youthful quartet which the storks so generously left at his domicile, and the tone of his voice, his solemn manner or his occasional punctuations on the table with his clenched fist, must have caused the little one to recall the manner and actions of some itinerant echotter or pulpit pounder whom she had seen or heard, for all at once, during a temporary lull in the lecture she naively inquired: "Papa, could you be a preacher if you wanted to?" It is needless to add that the moral effect of the lecture was lost. Soldiers! Addresses Wanted. Henry N. Copp, attorney-at-law, Washington, D.

THE APPEAL A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER NEW HOME FOR CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY Built by Capt. John Martin on a Site in St. Anthony Park Donated by Joseph Elsinger THE NEW HOME For the Children's Home Society of Minnesota. The Children's Home society of Minnesota will go into its new home in St. Anthony Park about April 1. The construction of the beautiful large red brick building on Cromwell avenue (formerly known as Dooley avenue) is nearly completed. It is expected that the interior will be nished soon and that the home will be ready for occupancy at the first of next month. The home will be known as the Jane Martin Receiving home. The home is being built by Capt. John Martin, of Minneapolis, on a NEW HOUSE Built by Capt. John Martin site donated by Joseph Elsinger, of St. Paul. The building will cost over $35,000. The building is located on Cromwell avenue, in one of the most picturesque spots in St. Anthony Park near the Como-Harriet car line. It is four miles from the center of Minneapolis and eight miles from the center of St. Paul. and is within the corporate limits of this city. The building is of dark red Menominee brick, with Lake Superior brown stone trimmings. It is $8 by 47 feet and has two main stories with a light basement entirely above ground except at the front and a large high attic. It is a fire-proof building, is stair heated and provided with perfect ventilating equipment. There are six bath and toilet rooms, with best cpn plumbing, supplied with both hydrant and soft water. There will be a complete laundry outfit and the building will be supplied with gas and electricity. All modern conveniences will be at the disposal of the occupants. A large octagonal porch, the full length of the building, projects from the south end, which in the winter will be inclosed with glass at the second story where the nursery is, and at other times with screens, thus forming a delightful place for babies to be taken out. The reception hall has a highly ornamented chimney place facing the entrance. At the ends of the corridor are the living and dining rooms, and on the second floor are the large airy nursery rooms, the best place in the house for the care of babies. Ample accommodations are made for matrons and attendants. The society is now at work securing furniture for purchase of furniture for the new building. Many more beds and much new bed clothing will be needed when the home moves into its new quarters. The home at present is located at 435 Fairview avenue, in Merriam Park, in rented quarters. When the home moves into its new building it will be able to do much more and better work than it has been able to do ever before in its rented quarters. It is supposed that the society will take children to board in addition to caring for foundings. At the regular meeting of the Adelphai Club last Tuesday, held at the home of Mrs. Harry Howard, it was decided by the ladies that they would raise $100 or more to be used in furnishing one of the reception rooms. A committee of ladies was appointed to visit the home to learn just what to do in the premises and twelve of the ladies present pledged themselves to each raise a certain sum of money, and 'tis hopad that every one called upon will respond liberally to this most worthy cause. "HEARTS OF OAK." At Grand Opera House, St. Paul. James A. Herne's "Hearts of Oak" company presented by a carefully selected aggregation of talented players will be seen at the Grand Opera House the coming week. The attraction will be first class in every respect and will be given with realistic scenic effects. The trade mark of success won by the Herne management is carefully lived up to year after year. Every one who has witnessed any of Mr. Hernes plays will ever remember the charm of the children he introduces. Especially in "Hearts of Oak" and "Shore Acres" the children are real, living natural beings. The author provides them with lines such as they would really utter and allows them to lisp their words and express their feelings as they would in real life. Another realistic scene is the famous dinner scene consisting of good food, drinks, pie, boiled potatoes, griddle cakes, bread and butter and tea. There is nothing make-believe about the enjoy the actors and actresses enjoy the meal during the mimic representation of New England life, and rarely leave any of the good things spread upon the supper table. This is the first time that this play has been seen here at popular prices and ought to prove a strong drawing card at that play-house. The engagement will be for one week with the usual Wednesday and Saturday matinee. Oxygen Is Life's Necessity. Without Oxygen hard dies, but when the blood is well fed with oxygen and lives in the full enjoyment of life. Life should be a constant physical restraint. Oxygen is a feeder of living tissues. Disease and sickness arise from lack of vitality, which is due to lack of oxygen in the blood. OXYDONOR animates and thus reverses this degeneration, opens the way for the whole HOME FOR CHILDREN'S HOME on a Site in St. Anthony Park organism to drink freely of oxygen, through the pores of the skin and membranes, and sets in operation an energizing, irresistible, vital force, which speedily overcomes disease. One OXYDONOR will serve the family. It cures you while rest, and its results are equally efficacious for the infant and grandisre. The following testimonial, one of many hundreds, testifies as to the efficiency of the Oxydonor: St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 28, 1903. Dr. C. S. Wilson: I take great pleasure in notifying you that I have given the Oxydonor a through test lately, when my wife was sick with La Gripe, Bronchitis, and a touch of Pneumonia. It was a severe attack, accompanied by a fever, and I knew that I had high ticks about the outcome. But to my surprise the Oxydonor worked the magic: I had to use it in ice for 35 hours, but it conquered the disease. Applying the Oxydonor two more nights perfected the cure. Anyone wishing to investigate further in regard to the Oxydonor should call on or communicate with Dr. C. S. Wilson, 611 N. Y. Life Bldg., St. Paul, Minn. SHAME! SHAME!! SHAME!!! Old Ben tillman, the most intense hater of Afro-Americans the South has produced, has been invited to deliver a lecture on "The Race Question From a Southern Standpoint" at the First Baptist church of Minneapolis. Why the good (?) people of that church wish to desecrate God's Holy Temple with the carcass of such a beast as tillman is beyond sane comprehension. it is well known that his foul-mouthed harrangue which he has frequently repeated is not one that should be allowed in a place dedicated to the worship of God. Of course there will be few self respecting people present, but there out of a morbid curiosity to see the lowest thing in human form that God for some unknown reason allows to encumber His footstool.

Norman Argo, born a slave, died Monday at Pat Lick, Ky., at the repated age of 111 years, the authenticity of which is fairly well established by the family in whose service he spent the greater part of his life. Argo belonged to Gen. Samuel Kennedy one of the wealthiest planters in Garrard county, and the first representative of this county in the Kentucky legislature. He was only three feet four inches tall, and for that reason was known as "Little Norman." He was employed as a house servant, and was a great favorite with the children. Mrs. Stowe got most of the material for "Uncle Tom's Cabin" from the Kennedy place. Argo is said to have been the original Uncle Tom, as many of the traits which made him respected by his owner are found in Uncle Tom. Argo was proud of this distinction. He had been a slave for many years, and more ago he was a wonder as a jockey, and by his skillful riding won thousands of dollars for his owner.
