"There are two perfect women; one
is dead; the Other has not been dis
covered"
"a wel-regulated club is the acme
of human comfort"
"Men enjoy clubs exceedingly, be-
cause women are not admissible"
Men of every nation, with the excep-
ton, perhaps, of France, go to men for
intellectual sympathy, for exchange of
earnest feelings, for spiritual intercom-
munication, in short, for companionship.
Love, as generally understood, they get
from and give to women, necessarily;
but friendship they seek and find, as a
rule, in their own sex. That is a false
love which does not include friendship
but it is the love which the mass of men
feel, and the mass Of women inspire.
True love, love of the highest kind,
contains the elements of friendship, in
fused with sexuality friendship is SEX
less-therefore, serene and stable, and
Comprehends the comforts of love with.
out its passion. Many men are incap-
able of friendship but the lowest and
the basest think themselves capable of
love. Most of those called the best
and w1sest would scof at the very idea
of friendship with women and friend
ship and companionship may be con-
sidered interchangeable. Is not COM
panionship like the rich deposit in lite's
retort, after loves passion has ceased
to sparkle and effervesce?
Companionship is, above all, volun-
tary, unrestrained, obeying the law of
temperament, and the fervor of individ-
ualty. Men, in their relations to women
are conventional, artful, anxious to
create an impression women, in deal
ing with men, sacrifice everything in
their effort to be agreeable hide nature
and pervert truth with this intent.
There is no chance for companionsnip
between them it can not breathe in
so artificial an atmosphere. Men alter
their language to suit women. You get
no more idea of their sentiments or
actions from what they say to women
than you do of the real woman from
what she says to men. When woman
suddenly appears in company of men
they change their speech completely,
and conceal their nature in prescribed
forms and hollow observances. If the
foundation of companionship could be
laid in such society the superstructure
could not be reared the opportunity
would lacking and the commencement
would remain as sign of failure, as a
warning to proceed no turther.-/uulus

That is, of course, II she feels she
Can offer suggestion:
Why is it that WIENER man
Has wooed II maid and missed her,
She always tells him that she can
Be to him but sister!
If he brothers kiss has claimed,
Why grow her cheeks so red?
Why does she say, 'Id be ashamed"
And turn away her head?
Why does she whisper, "Oh, take care.
You must not be SO free?
And then, Il shouldn't think you'd dare
To take the liberty

Why should she be so distant;

was the scene of the sudden blooming Of
orange blossoms for pair of young, dusty and
dusky lovers. Wiley George bad long been
suing for the hand and heart of Almo Stevens.
He had won her heart but parental oppose
ton stood in the way of a elimination of his
fondest hopes. In the face of the protest of
Alma's father, Joe Stevens Wilev continued
his attentions until last Monday, when the
enraged father fell upon him and sInote him
hip and thigh. Wiley and his mother
Josephine, came to town next day to get q
warrant for Joe. Joe ana the gir,alSo came
along to ''see 'em out" The party collected
at Boyd's store and made known their trouble
to the Captain, who grasped the situation and
convinced them that marriage certificate
was the remedy for their trouble The boy,
however, held back from the fact that he was
out OF ready cash ond was not properly attir-
ed-being hare-footed and in his shirt sleeves.

DO you Alma Stevens, take Wiley George

ted.
Then he continued, "by the authority YES
