In promulgating your prehistoric

Love Making
Don't love too many at once.

Don't love too many at once.
Don't do your spooning in public.
Give your little brother taffy, and
get him to bed before your chap calls.
Recollect that a wedding ring on
your finger is worth good many Of
them in your mind
Try to find out by some means
whether your inten led knows how to
earn decent living for two.
Be reasonable; don't expect a man
working for $500 a week to furnish
you with reserved seats at the opera
every other night.
Don't be afraid to show the man Of
your choice that you love him; provid-
ed, Of course, he loves you. Love is a
double-sided concern, aud both have a
part to play.
Don't try to bring too many suitors
to your ieet. They have feet also,
and yon may see one pair OF feet walk
ing off from you some day that you
would DO very glad to call back.
Sskeep your temper, il You expect
your other half-in-lsw to keep his.
If he doesn't suit you, don't expect
him to put up with your humors.
Deal carefully with bashful lovers;
lead them gradually to the point (of
proposal, of course, but don't let
them suspect what you are at, or they
might faint on your hands, or go
crazy on the spot.
1t is said lovers quarrels always
end with kisses. This is partly true;
but If you are not careful, those little
spats You indulge In may end in the
kisses you covet being given to some
other girl.
If it is possible, try to suit your
cousins, aunts, grandfathers, neigh
bors, friends and acquaintances when
you happen to fall in love. II you
can't suit them all, don't worry, foi
the thing has never been done yet.
lfyou use powder, doo't give Your.
self away. For instance it would BE-
well to spread handkerchief over hi,
shoulder before you lean thereon. He
will be too green, depend on it, tC
suspect the reason. Ii his mustacht

Don't imagine that husband car

meals hungry al bear, and any
little knowledge Of cookery you cal
pick up during courtship is about tn,
best provision you can make for fu

THE CITY GOVERNMENT.

The change of city authorities took place in
the usual manner yesterday, and the public
affairs will move along as though nothing had
occurred. The exhibit presented by Mayor
Dawson gives gratifying evidence of the pros
perity of st. Paul and the great progress the
city has made. Mayor Dawson not only realizes
this from his official position, but his personal
property interests give him the most practical
evidence that the city has passed the state OF
uncertainty and no oud of doubt bedims the
future. Mayor Dawson's administration has
been honest, practical and economical, and
has done much to produce the prosperous con-
dition of affairs.
Mayor Rice begins his career with some
excellent suggestions, which might be consid-
cred his platform. His propositions are all
in the right direction, and if carried out will
do much to increase the comfort and
advantages of the city. 1t is very evident
that under the administration of Mayor Rice
st. Paul will take no step backward. The
public interests will be prudently cared fol-
and such enterprises inaugurated as the
growth of the city demands.
The people of the city are to be congratu-
lated upon having their affairs so well admin
istered in the past and the assurance that they
will be so well cared for in the future.

TEE election of officers by the city council
yesterday made but few changes. A new pr esi
dent of the council was chosen for the
place made vacant by the death OF
Aid. Rhodes, and for this position a
worthy selection was made in Aid. Dowlan.
For vice president AID Ringwald was re-
elected which was merited mplimcnt to
his attentiyeness 10 public duties. The city
clerk, Mr.. Pre- dergast, was retained as
matter of course. In fact there was no
contest to be noted save upon the
position of market master. This was pleas
antly terminated by the re election of Mr. Nc
Manus, who has long and faithfully filled the
position and given genera! satisfaction. The re-
tention of Mr.. Strong at the head of the fire
department, was recognition of the services
of faithful and experienced official, and pre-
vents any friction in that very important de-
partment of public affairs. The new council
begins well, and gives evidence of desire and
ability to serve the public faithfully.
