Married Life the Third Year

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. Delia bad one of her periodical flta f BullennMss. Usually they lasted only few days, but this one was going llnto the second wesfc and Helen's patlence w as sorely tried. Ia spite of Delta's many good qualiitJee her honesty, economy and cleanliness, there were times when those Qllen shells got civ Helen's nerves that she felt she would havo to let her tgo. And this oue was r.ot only lasting -longer, but seemed more trying than all the others. Helen was far too . reasonable to exjnpet an unchanging evenness of a suability in any one. An occasional ixritafbOJty she could hare easily forgiven, f Almost any other form of ciisagreeableiness would have been preferable to !the vulky, dogged silence which Delia displayed at these times. She -would go for days without apeak itjs' unless forced to by a direct question, and then her answer would hae as culien'.y brief as she could make it. "What's the matwr with Delia? Got one of her brouches?" Warren had asked that inoruiiig- when Vie wanted more cresm, and Delia had brought in the bottle, slammed it down on the table ,and flounced out, pretending not to ihear Helen when she asked if that was all there was. "Yes, she's been like that all week. 1 1 don't think she said two words yes'terday. You don't know how trying it 'Is to be with her all day when she ;acts that way." "Whv do you put up with it?" "What can I do?" "Fire her." MIGHT BE WORSE. "Oh, but Warren, I could never get anybody like Delia. She's so honest land dependable. You can't have evjery thing, you know. I might get some 'one a great deal worse'. "That's up to you," indifferently. "If .you want to put up with her you can. But I wouldn't stand for it, I can tell you that." And that day Helen almost came to the conclusion that she would not stand for it either. It was ironing day. In the same stolid sullenness Delia washed up the dishes put on the irons and got out the i Ironing board. "Delia, 1 wish you would iron that ' white skirt first. I want to mend the I' lace I didn't have time before I put it in the wash. Then you can press out 'that sheet next. I want to hang that up." Delia was rearranging the irons on the stove, and did not deign to reply, and Helen went out to straighten up the bedroom, which she always did on ironing day. Half an hour later she came back into the kitchen to get. the skirt and shower sheet. But Delia was calmly ironing a tablecloth. "Delia, I told you to iron my skirt first." No answer. "Didn't you 'jrimand me, Delia, when I said to iron my skirt? "Had to iron this 'fore it got dried, sulkily. "You could have sprinkled it again. Now finish that as quickly as you can, and iron my skirt," Helen's voice was unusually sharp. A little later she came back to find Delia ironing another table cloth. Still the skirt had not. been touched. For a moment Helen was too astonished and angry to say anything at all. And Delia protending not to see her as she stood in the door, ironed on without looking up. "Delia, you can put that tablecloth aside now and iron mv skirt." A STUBEORN GIRL." "Have to iron this while it's wet," still without looking up. Only once before had Helen come to any real issue with Delia and then Delia had won. It had been shortly after her marriage and Helen terrified by the thought of the unknown inefficiencies' of a new girl, had yielded. Now she was determined she would not yield. Without further comment she unrolled the skirt from the towel in which it had been sprinkled, laid it on the ironing board before Delia, and then !el'l.ornt ly drew the tablecloth from under her iron. She was not. at. all sure what Delia would do. She might put the iron back on the stove and flounce out of the p'-ace. Helen knew that she was taking chances, hut the had been so thoroughly Irritated by ibis week of Delhi's siiir'iir.ops that just then she felt she did not care. For t. moment Delia stood perfectly still . Heler. turned away and calmly started to resprinkle the tablecloth and roll it no again. When she turned again Delia was ironini: the skirt. But her face was ;i dull brick red. "Now, Delia whe:i you've ironed tha bring it in to mo. 1 want to mend the IF MEALS III! BACK ! UNO STOMACH SOURS) "Pane's Diapepsin" Ends!

B is for the Betty who always gets stumped with two things to choose from and doesn't know whish she likes the best. When she buys Christmas presents there is always one perfectly beautiful thing alongside another perfectly lovely thing after she has weeded out all the other wonderful things two left, and a sighing, frowning girl trying to make up her mind. When she goes hunting for gowns lace. Then you can press out that shower sheet." About twenty minutes later, while Helen was straightening her top bureau drawer, Delia, with a heavy, defiant step, came in, threw the skirt on a chair and marched out without a word. It was wretchedly, ironed. The lace was torn more than it had been before, and in one place there was a distinct yellow scorch. And Delia was an excellent ironer. For a long time Helen stood by the bureau meditatively thrusting a hat pin into the pin cushion. She was thinking very hard, or she would not have scarred the blue satin top of the cushion with so many gaping pin holes. At last, with a final thrust, she left the hat pin stuck at a defiant angle in the cushion. Then she went into the kitchen. "Delia, there is something I want to say to you. I'm afraid you've been here too long. You haven't seemed very happy in your work lately. Now if you are not happy, if you are not content I don't want you to stay. I don't want any one to work for me who does not work willingly and pleasantly." HELEN'S ULTIMATUM. Here Helen paused, but Delia, who had not looked up since- phe entered went on ironing, with her eyes still glued to the board. The brick-red flush was even deeper, but she said not a word. "Your month is up next Wednesday, Delia, a week from tomorrow. Now" I want you to think things over, and if before that time you have not decided that you can work without indulging in these sullen fits, then I think you had better get another place." "I have put up with this for almost two years just because you are in so many ways a good girl. But lately it is getting on my nerven more than it used to. Perhaps you need a change. Perhaps, as I have said before, you have been here too long, and you might be happier in another place. Now, that is what we must decide before the first of the month. If by that, time you have not shown any "desire to conquer this sullenness then I shall certainly not want you to stay." It was one of the longest speeches that Helen had ever made, and when Bhe closed the kitchen door after her and went back into her room she sank into a low chair to think it over. But her meditations were interrupted by the telephone. It was Mrs. Stevens, who wanted her to come up for luncheon and then to go shopping. Helen had planned to unpack some Summer clothes that afternoon but she realized how hard it would be to work just after this talk with Delia. It would be much better for her to go out and leave Delia to think things over alone. Ordinarily Helen would have thoroughly enjoyed the luncheon and the afternoon with Mrs. Stevens, but now her enjoyment was somewhat clowded by her thoughts of Delia. She felt herself weakening. She pictured the procession of ignorant clum-

The nurses made ! a total of 4,200 calls at homes of 826 j cases besides the many free clinic consultations with physicians and ' nurses. During the hot weather six : nurses were kept busy saving babies. j WINCHESTER, Ind "Kangaroo , court" in modified form has been es- ' tablished among inmates of the Randolph county jau. A Winchester man, convicted of operating a blind tiger, acts as judge. Every new prisoner entering the jail is fined $1 for "breaking in."

He runs on the Peoria division and thinks he did only his plain duty under the circumstances. sy and untidy girls that she might have to try before she could find anyone so trustworthy as Delia. She al- : most began to wish that she hadn't in- ' sisted on the ironing of the skirt. Perhaps, while Delia had this sullen fit, she should have left her alone. It was with a little anxiety that Hel- : en returned home a few minutes before five. The first thing she saw was , the white skirt on her bed. It had been ! re-washed and reironed and beautifully ironed! The yellow scorch was entirely out, and the lace carefully menj ded. i Unquestionably this was a surrenj der. But Helen's satisfaction in her ' victory was tempered by her sympaj thy for Delia and her desire to make j the surrender as easy as possible. It ' would be kinder, she decided, to make no reference to the skirt just now, to act as if nothing had happened, and then to show her appreciation later on in some other way. With a rare delicacy and understanding Helen did not even go into the kitchen until it was necessary to give some instructions for dinner. i When she entered Delia was washing a head of lettuce. "There ain't enough tomatoes for the salad, ma'am will I hard-boil some eggs?" There was no tinge of sullenness in her voice, but there was a suspicious huskiness which comes after tears. "Why, yes. Delia, and you might make an egg dressing you make that very nicely." And she went on to give

a girl cried out to be this very day: "It's my luck. Why can't there sometimes be one of a delectable thing? And now it's a man! I always am torn between two utterly desirable things. Why has one man a right to be just as nice as the other one? And why can't they give me more time to know? to find a bad fault in one that will make me climb down to the other one. For I'm on a ladder and they are

some directions about the dinner, trying to speak as naturally as she could. While Delia kept her head bowed over the lettuce, Helen knew it was not sullenness but a desire to hide the traces of tears. Helen's own eyes were misty as she went back to fold up and put away the skirt. And she resolved tha next week Delia should have an extra afternoon off and a ticket to the matinee. ! CAMBRIDGE CITY I Mrs. David Bertsch. of Germantown, entertained a company of young ladies from this city, Thursday evening, as a surprise for her daughter. Miss Ida. When the guests neared the Bertsch home they heard the young lady at the piano, and siezing the opportune moment, walked into the room, much to her astonishment.

MILLIONS OF FISH FOR STATE STREAMS Commission Plants Fish Increase Sportsman's Pleasure. to INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 31. Millions of fisli will sport in the streams and rivers of Indiana as the result of elaborate plans for their propagation culminate in anything like the expectations of the state commission of fish and game, for the year 1914. Superintendent of Hatcheries Geo. Berg is authority for the statement that greater efforts than ever before will be put forth throughout the state. From the Tri-state station in Whitley county, near Columbia City, something like 15.000,000 wall-eyed pike and 12,000,000 cisco eggs will be distributed in the Northern Indiana lakes. The Wawasee station in Kosciusko county will turn out big mouthed bass. The Brookville station, Franklin county, with its big record for small mouth bass will supply the streams in southern Indiana from enlarged facilities. The station near Anderson, with two new hatching ponds and a winter pool, is being assisted by the Madison county Fish and Game association, while the Grant county protective association and the city of Marion are co-operating in the estab'ishmeiit of another station near Marion. The Seychelles group, a British possession lying 75 northeast of Madagascar consists of about thirty small islands. CASTOR I A For Infanta and Children.

This state of affairs was reached after the Junior skating party on la6t Friday evening when there were I only ten boys who asked to take girls ! to the park. The result was that the school party turned out to be a "stag" ten girls and about seventy boys attending. Such occasions are not to be passed aside lightly, the girls say, an 1 so the plan was decided upon that if the boys would not take the girls any place where money was a third party to the contract, no more "dates" will be given at any time until the boys "thaw out."

DONT TRUST CALOMEL

Thousands Experience Bad After Effects From the - Dangerous Drug. A Safe Vegetable Substitute Is Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets for the Liver. Dr. F. M. Edwards, a prominent physician of Ohio, has discovered a laxar five and liver toner in a combination, of vegetable, materials mixed with olive on. which is in effect almost ex .'"tly like calomel, except that there are pr.no o," the bad after effects. Dr. Edwards has long been a foe of calomel. 'though he recognized Its tsJue along with its dangers. His distrust of the uncertain drug eventually started him, years ago towards experiments with the view ol discovering a substitute, and he has been for several years in possession of the long-songht-fcr combination, which is in the shape of a little sugar-ctat'-.i, olive-colored tablet. The results of 17 y -as' experience and practice are embodied in these marvelous little tablets. They are called 'Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. And their effect on the liver has been the mtans of relief to many of Dr. Edwards' regular patients as well as to thousands of others who have suffered and were afraid of calomel. Th re is no necessity, when you take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, by following them up with nasty, sickening, griping salts, or castor oil, as you do after taking calomel.
