Women Love to Be Petted.

oAAC AoSC ~ oo
The majority of women love to be petted.
but not one in fifty is the happy recipient
of petting, nevertheless.
l was much interested in a group of
young women at Block Island one summer.
boarded at the same hotel with them
and we were on quite friendly terms be-
fore the season was over. One young mar
ried woman was brimful of self help.
When her handsome husband came up
from the city N Saturdays 1 took partic-
ular pains to watch them. 1t was rs / had
expected. He seldom waited upon her; she
seemed always to prefer helping herself.
If he brought a shawl she Immediately
took it from him and vigorously swung it
about her shoulders. If she wanted a chair
she rushed and procured one. She would
not give the man an opportunity to show
the g~allantry that | feel sure he possessed.
Little goose" thought l, God helps
those who help themselves" but men
don't. Strange to say, I learned afterward
that no woman loved petting more than
this same little wife, but for some unac-
countable reason she could not resist the
everlasting impulse to take care of herself.
A sweet girl, tall, slender and blue eyed,
was continually being waited upon.
Over the rocks she was invariably helped
by some kindly hand. Had she not been
sure of the hand l am certain she would
not have gone over the rocks. If her hand
kerchief f1uttered to the ground the young
! gentlemen present were in danger of bump
ing heads in their mad desire to restore it
to it's fair owner, and l declare, in the abb
sence of escorts, the ladies would stoop and
lift it from the sand as a matter of course.
Out fishing, the very sea dogs themselves
| We'd with each other for the sweet oppor-
tunity of batting her hook. All her life
she had unconsciously demanded petting
and devotion. go
She was a lovely character, gentle, re-
fined and sensible, but you could not be
with her five minutes without feeling she
was born to be waited upon.
She has been married three years. Her
husband is still her lover, and pets her to
! her hearts content.
Those women who complain of a lack of
devotion on the part Of their husbands did
not commence right. They should have
trained their lovers.
Young ladies, my advice to you is, Be
not only willing to accept the helping
hand, but quietly demand it.
A little appealing helplessness goes a
great way with a man. 49,

THE

THE ENCAMPMENT.
What the soldisr Boys are Doing at
Camp Burke.
DEVILS LAKE, N. D., July 18.-[Spe-
cial Camp Burke where the many soldier
boys are sojourning is probably the most
lively place in the state just now. Be-
sides the governor and his wife and twins,
who attract much attention, and the
army of North Dakota, there are thous-
ands of visitors. Some of the boys wear
a sleepy look from the effects of picket
duty, but a general good feeling prevails
among all here. A thousand genuine
Indian braves are within bowling dis
lance of the camp, divided from it by a
shallow basin of water only, and the
pickets actually walk alone, yet the real
ly narrowing trials come not from them,
but from plain little mosquitoes that
keep every limb in motion and prevents
the quiet little snooze that might be
INDUCED in but for the pesky varmints.
The busiest man here is Colonel Yor-
key, chief Of supplies, whose tent is the
large n on the northeast corner of the
grounds. In it are stored the meats,
groceries, canned goods, tinware, medi-
cal supplies and everything that will be
needed to keep the soldiers fat and
healthy. 1t is..rather amusing to watch
a detail Of perhaps eight men in charge
of a non-commissioned officer come up
and get hardware and tinware allotted
tc their: company. One would get an
armful of tin plates, another an iron pot,
another a couple OF pans,Ianother a rake,
another an ak, another a spade, and
then, "carry arms" off they march to
tents.
It is not likely that the boys will be
worked to death during their stay here.
At least this is not the present intention.
They are drilled pretty steadily every
morning, but the afternoons and even
ings are their own, with the exception of
possibly one or two evenings when there

ing the troops will be inspected by a
United States army officer detailed for
the purpose in conjunction with Colonel
Creel, the inspector-general.
The governor will give a reception
some evening during the encampment,
probably Monday evening.
Gov.tBurke has issued very stringent
orders against allowing liquors Of any
kind on the grounds. Anyone attempt
ing to handle goods of this kind will be
severely dealt with.
The regimental band from Lisbon gave
a concert every evening in front of the
governors tent and their presence add
greatly to the interest taken in the en-
campment.
Hood weather prevails, which is ap-
preciated by all.
Company A is making a good record
and will probably capture some of the
honors.
Work on the we'll at the camp stopped
when it was down fifty feet. Natural
gas was stuck and the workmen had to
leave the we'll. A line of water carts

Are Women Cruel?

A woman is not usually supposed to be
cruel. Still, facts are against the assump-
ton that she is not. Her thumb was sure
to- be down when the gladiator looked up
to the tiers of the coliseum for the verdict
Of the people; her shout was always fierce
when the matador and the bull plowed on
the earth together.

Talking about the queer ways of women,
of all queer women and changeable, the
late Mrs. abraham Lincoln, as everybody
knows, was the most so. No one could &C.
count for her moods; they were as variable
as the wind. Here is a story told about her
by Senator Palmer, of Illinois.
"She was a queer woman" said he, "but
peace to her now. She was a good one also,
and we are all more or less cranky, the
best of us.
1T was way back in the times when I was
stamping the state for Douglas against
Lincoln when Abe and I met in Lincoln's
home town. Nothing would do but Abe
must have me come to his house to dinner.

the parlor.

trying to keep me out of office. Choke
him on a real Illinoy dinner, will you3' he
said, in his bluff, hearty way.
II knew Mrs. Lincoln, and l saw right
away she was moody. She greeted me
stiffly, and shortly after called us to dinner.
around and his face clouded; only an in
slant, however.
every dish on that table was cracked or
brokenl There wasn't a whole or respect
able plate on the cloth. The table was
usually beautifully spread, but it looked
now as if the place had been ransacked for
old baking dishes and damaged ones of all
kinds.
"But the dinner was good enough, and
after that brief cloud Old Abe's good,
homely face beamed as if the best china
had been brought out for the occasion. He
laughed, joked, told stories, and made ev-
erything so pleasant that we had no time
to think of the spread. 1 forgot to say
there were other political friends of his
there, but though he must lave felt an,
noyed, he never betrayed it by apology or
otherwise. "-Louisville Post.
