Otto Hetuk 'of Omaha has a wife. who wa, once the chief engh::.-r ,"f the houseihold and the Int-L:hlli'..v moved as she dire.ted. One nigLy before Christmas Beink oam. home feeling a bit gay and very fooliash' untdetook to suggest the kind of pres cuts they should send their friend-. His wife iminediately took issue with him. She male him uuderstanld that he was not duone high in family and that she would brook no interference with her prerogatives from him or any other tow-headed biped on earth. Then opening the valves of her wrath she turned loose a flood on the devot ed Otto, a much larger and a hotter one than be had ever before experien ced. She began "gently by saying that such a toggle.jointed apology for a manyas he was had no business to put his mouth into her affairs and then proceeded to lash him forward, aft and athwartship with a tongue thatchad a'suspper on it as keen as a bullwhip~Ind which made fifty strokes to the second. Mrs. Ileink had not fairly settled down to the tack of putting her hau band in his place before the poor fellow commenced to writhe under the lashing and in a fewý,moments was out in the middle of the floor dancing the Highland fling in the most fantastic fashion. The wilder h danced the hotter grew the rage of his wife until it finally registered about 250 pounds to the rqnuare inch. In the meantime Otto himself was becoming maddened by the thrusts of her lightning'like tongue and benmg unable to longer endure the torture be dragged his spouse from her en. trenchments uunIer the lted clothes and sat her on top of a red hot stove with the determination, paradoxical as it may seem, to oool her down. The treatment was perfectly success. ful. The seolding ceased with re msarkable ahruptuers, and howls of agony floated out on the frosty night from the home of the Heinks.l They caused the dogs to bark and also brought a piolicomn who escorted Mr. Helnk to jail, but the latter was downcast nor did he plead for mercy. On the contrary the cansciousieuis ,,f the fact that he had at last su-cess fully rebelled against the tyranny of years made him feel that he amount ed to more than thirty cents, and he walked besarde the polioeman with a ploud step, softly mattering to him. self: "I guess she knows now that I'm something of a pain-maker my sel"' The once badly hacked Otto Heink wars in due time arraigned and fined for assault and battery and the fne was pald by sympathetic friends many of whom no doubt had endured experienLcs similar to those which had driven Otto to the hot store treattment. The same sympathetic friends, it aylears, were successoful in using their kind ofeces to bring about a re oonel:intaion between the husband and wife, but the aIntter now abhors a chair and for some time to come will con tinue to eat her meals off the mantle piece. Mrs. Heink is said to be much gentler woman now then she was before the relbellion of her Otto occurre:l ald he is gracious enoughb to make home happy by saying to his wife when he departs to his work in the morning: "Mhandy, don't forget the store, and if you'll be ,eal good you may kiss the hand of your only Otto."-States. smnts Its hd he e ag OLepro~y in the Philippines.

The Khid Yea Have Always hqght Bears the Ullgnatms of Strive To Own A Home. Be it ever so bum'!le, a home is a man's palace, and a wife's love his crown; and a k!ng whose wife and children wait to give him a kiss can not be a wholly had man. The wise man labors to build up a home; a resting place where to recuperate his energies and where to close out his earthly existence, soothed by the sympathy of dear ones who strive to palliate the pain of frail mortality as it ebbs away. The good woman and children extend hblm sympathy and a loving welcome which veil his trou. bles and dispel d.spair. Because of a want of thrift or t.om habits of idleness and dissipation many have not the blessings of a home. What a misfortune! How disconsolate I Youthhood spent in frivolous amuse meats and demoralizing associations, leave them at mrldie age, when the physical and intellectual man shou!d be in its greatet vigor, enervated and without any laudable ambition. Frnnds, too, all long since lost, con' Adence gone, and nothing nor any one to look to in old age, 'or any. thing to expect but mere toleration in the community where they should he creditable citizens, if not orna monts to society. But all is blank, and there is no hope or succor, except that which is gives ,nt by the beand of private or puhlic charities. And thus while the family of the sober provident man gathers around tie cheerful hearthstone on a wintry day, the homeless man is seeking and glad to find shelter in the cells f a station house, or is begging for a night's rest in the out buildongs of one, perhaps, who started with so greater advsntages than himself, baut who, by honesty and industry, has built up that home, whle idleness and dissipation have rendered home. iss and miserable.-Farmer's Golde.

The mission of the teacher is to put moral force into a boy while teaching him reading, geography, arithmetic, or any of the other branches. Can you do this ? It can be done; it is repeatedly doue.
