'.‘~ THE EVENING GAZETTE THE AMERICAN HUSBAND I-le Is Totally Unlike the Generally Accepted Type. ' Slander-ed by Foreigners as a Patient Burden Bearer of the Household— The Fact Is He Is an Ideal Mate. ‘ There is a. theory that the patient, unexacting financial agent who is sup- posed to typify the genus husband in America—who, like charity, suifereth long and is kind, thinketh no evil, and grlveth all his goods—is woman’s ideal of a mate, but this is a slander. The dull submission of the overladen ass is not the quality which ordinarily ex- cites feminine respect. That brilliant, greedy figure, hung with jewels, who-stands aloft in the social car, laying the goad upon the no“ ed shoulders of the humble, over 11 orked married slave who draws her (hariot, is purely a. figment, evolV ed out of the notebooks of Shallow for- eigners rushing express through the country to make a volume of travels. In reality the American husband is the most exacting of his kind. He de- mands gayety, physical and mental charm, a. high cultivation of all her powers, and an infinity of careful per- formed duties from his wife. If the American woman is brilliant and ornamental it is because the Amer- ican husband will put up with nothing less. In older ciyilizations woman finds in married life all the conditions pre- pared for her; rules made which she has only to obey; a. careful code of precedents which she has only to fol- low. Here a woman may be within a period of seven days tra11sp01 ted from a coun- try boardi ng school to the most con- spicuous position in the land, and VV 1th— out previous training be called upon to remake ambassadors and preside at state dinners. The husband who elevates his wife f1 om the w ashtub in a mining camp to the palace of a millionaire expects her to create out of the chaos of he1 previous experiences an ordered social world bet“ een the morning and the cv ening of herfirst day of w ealth—and she does it and likes it, and loudly pro- claims that this exacting creature is the most delightful example of hus- band known. . Curiously enough, the real person is as unlike .as possible to the generally- accepted picture of the typical Ameri- can husband, w ith his narrow, sordid bank-clerk soul, his neglected mind, and This cynical estimate bof woman a« a fantastic child with an insane lust for luxury. Perhaps the typical husbands of other nations have been as much belied, and the (Frenchman is not the sensualist who. thrusts the woman’s pretty babies from her arms into alien hands in order that her attentions may not for a. mement be distracted from himself nor her labors diverted from his busi- ness. Perhaps the German woman is not really an unpaid, contemptuosly-treat,- ed upper servant», nor the Englishwom- an the victim of a selfish, domineering master. At all events, but few women find all the unpleasing characteristics of the type combined in their individual specimens of the national husband—- Elizabeth Bisland, in North American Review. PHILOSOPHY NO GOOD. When It Runs Counter to Muscular Force in Uniform. “Look here, mister man!” began a patrolman as he walked up to a tramp who had been hanging around the post office and accosting pedestrians, “you want to move 011 out of this!” “You mean you want me move on ‘3” queried the tramp. “Yes, I do!” “Well, that is quite a diiferent mat- ter. .«While I do not want to move on, you wish me to, and as you represent force I must. go. Did it ever occur to you how this ‘move 011’ business might be drawn out?" ‘ What do y on mean ‘ Sou o1der me to move on. I move. A second cop gives the same order. So it goes to a. third, fourth and fifth. In the course of ti111eavhere am I? Instead of being in town you have moved me out into the. country and I. must be at the trouble of coming back.

I simply request the loan of a small sum. It is cit-her re- fused or granted. I may return the loan or may not. I invariably make pse of the term ‘loan‘ instead of ‘give.’ 0” It not only sounds better but evades the! law.” _“But you are a vagrant!” persisted the ofiicer, who hadn’t any head for philosophy. “Excuse me, sir, but you me wrong again, ” replied the man “I haV e money to pay my way. I one no man a penny and pay for what I get. I sleep in a regular bed, wash myes 11’. once a day and no law can make me out a vagrant." “But I say you’ve got to git!” shouted hte officer, as he made ready for busi- ness. . “That settles it and I git.
