THE SORT OF MEN THAT
WOMEN LIKE BEST.

We know that men actually
shrink from the attempt to OBJ
tain companions who are their su.
periors; but they will find that
really Intelligent women who pos
sess the most desirable qualities
are uniformly modest, and hold
their charms in modest estlma-
ton. What such women most ad.
mire in men is gallantry ; not the
gallantry Of courts and foDs, but
boldness, courage, devotion and re-
fined civility. A mans bearing
wins ten superior women where
his boots and brains wins one. II
a man stand before q woman with
respect for himself and fearless
ness Of her, his suit is half won.
The rest may safely be left to the
parties most interested. Therefore
never be afraid ofa woman. Won
On are the most harmless and
agreeable creatures in the world
to a man who shows that he has
got q mans soul in him., If you
have not got the spirit to test
like this, you have not got that in
you which most pleases high
souled woman, and you will be OBJ
liged to content yourself with the
simple girl who, in quiet way, is
endeavoring to attract and fastcn
you. But don't be in a hurry
about the matter. 1t isn't credit
able to you. Especially don't
imagine that any disappointment
in love which takes place before
you are twenty-one years old will
be ofany material damage to you.
The truth is, that before.a man is
twenty-five years old he does not
know what be wants himself. So
don't be in hurry. The more a
man you become, and the more
manliness you become capable Of
exhibiting in your association with
women, the better wife you will
be able to obtain and one years
possession Of the heart and hand
of a really noble specimen Of her
sex, is worth nine hundred and
ninety-nine years possession of
sweet creature with two ideas in
her head, and nothing new to say
about either Of them. So don't be
in a hurry VIC say again. You don't
want wife now, and you have
no idea of the kind ola wife you
will want by-and-by. Go into fe,
male society if you can find that
which will improve you, but not
otherwise.

"a gentleman friend Of mine came to
me, with tears in his eyes. [ said: ::
Why these weep?' He said he had
a mortgage on his farm and wanted to

after, he returned with more tears:
He said he must leave me forever. l

he borrowed. He was much cut up.

A correspondent Of the New York
Herald says that nearly all the Ku
klux prisoners at Albany have been
discharged, those only remaining who
were convicted of direct completely in
murder. No complaints Of the viola
ton Of the enforcement act have been
received lately: with the exception of
complaints that the department has
ascertained we're made by horse thieves
or vagabonds, who have in several in
stances received protection unwitting-
ly from the government. The dis
patch adds that the administration
would not object to discreet exercise
of vigilance to rid the South Of all its
useless members, and it does not pro-
pose to again be deceived in the name
of law and order in extending to this
class the protection Of the strong arm
Of the law.

A GRATEFUL EDITOR.

The editor of the Philadelphia
Dispatch has been made the hap
py recipient Of some interesting
reading matter, and he very pro-
perIy expresses his thanks thusIy:
eve owe our thanks to Judge
Kelly for the latest Patert Office
report. We already have sixteen
hundred of these interesting vol
umes in our little library, but
they have been read aad re-read
so many times that We know
every page Of them by heart.
This new volume came opportunt-
ly and gratefully on Christians
morning, and that night we gath.
cred our little family aronnd the
fire and read it through to them.
The affecting tale entitled I'M
provomcnt IN Monkey. Wrcnches,'
seemed to touch every heart, and
when We came to the climax of
the little story about Reversible
Pie boards, there was not a dry
eye between the front door and the
stable. During the reading of the
piteous narrative entitled the
Gum Washers for Carriage Axles,'
the whole family gave expression
to boistcroas emotion, and the
hired girl was so much excited
that she lost her presence Of mind,
and went around to her mothers
inadvertently with six pounds Of
sugar and a butter-kettle full Of
-four, and came home at midnight
intoxicated. We can never suf-
ficiently thank Judge Kelly for
innocent enjoyment thus furnished
us. The memory OF that evening
will linger in our minds very much
longer than that hired girl ever
fingers when she lights on q lot
Of substance which she thinks will
suit the constitution Of her aged
p1rent.''

The matrimonial foibles of Lady FL
lenborough; who recently died in Da-
mascus, made her life very eventful.
She eloped from her first husband with
Prince Schwarzenberg in 1912. Soon
firing of the Prince she went to Italy,
and before 1913 contracted six mar
riages. In Athens she married Count
Theodoki. Whea she had dissolved
the eighth bond, and while travelling
from Beyrout to Damascus, she was
united in the Arab fashion with Sheik
Abdul camel driver in whose nomad
life she participated for a year. Finally
she built i palace id Damascus and re-
manned there until her death.

CHANGE IN THE COURSE OF RAIN.
A correspondent writing from
Hawkins Co., Tennessee, states
that ordinarily: in that locality,
the rains all come from the south
west, conforming to the direction
Of the rivers and mountains: but
what little rain has fallen during
the dry season, both last year and
this, has all come from clouds
psssing from north to south,
directly across the rivers and
mountains. Scientists are asked
to account for this change Of
direction. The droughts, during
which the change occurs, are not
owing to theabsence CT forests, for
the country is heavily timbered.

WHEN WORDS FAIL.

When words fail, when, mute and pale,

Or anguish over? Wao can ask:
When words fail, oh ! then unveil
This steel-cold grief that ouEds so deep
And you shall! 6nd tortured mind
May still forbid the eyes to weep.
At the last, in vain you asked
Those parting words tina, love embalms:
As dumb end s,ilh one dead might fl!

And say that still, through good and i'll,
You tras. the love I could not tell.
