FLIRTING IN DARK
Admirers on Faith and Lovers
Who Have Never Met.
PRIVATE LETTER-Box SECRETS.
Romance I'm the f" Personal Column
Curious ways I'm which Modern
Matrimony L. Accomplished.

NEW sYoRK, Oct. Especial. New
York Is one OF the many places in the
world where the human race expresses the
universal hankering for novelty. It ex-
presses this hankering in great many
ways, but in no way perhaps more curios
than in the circuitous methods ii some
times uses TO accomplish the feat of falling
In love.
The good old-fashioned methods Of fall
ing In love and marrying seem to have
gone out of favor with great many
people. Probably the extreme facility
with which matrimony is nowadays
brought about has produced q feeling OF
resentment among people who like the
spice of little hazard, little mystery,
little novelty. Make-believe Opponents
are no longer considered anything but
silly, duels are out of the question,
and the romance of matrimony might
have gone to the dogs but for the benovo-
lent advent of the personal" column and
the private letter box.
The s'personal" column is not new in
stitution. but In some of its modern mani
festations il is peculiarly different from
what it ever was before. Years and years
ago, even on the prosaic continent of Eu-
rope, matrimonial advertisements ap-
peared In public print, and in no less a
home of the unsentimental than Berlin
itself. But these old advertisements are
dry, calculating, perfunctory. The mod
ern personal item is beginning to glow
with poetic fervor that rebukes the the
DRY that this is an age unfavorable to senti-
ment. The yearning advertiser quotes the
classics, drops into poetry-an expensive
luxury at 30 or 40 cents line-and other
wise exhibits disposition to surround
the business of marriage with a nimbus
of romance. There are cvnics who
say that these advertisements which ex-
hibit the sensitive personality of maiden

The stone called Texas marble

is nothing more than a partly met
amorphosed shay limestone,
There are, however several good
quarries of marble that in beauty
will rival the best. The most no.
table deposit is few miles south
east of San Saba, and only short
distance from the Fleming springs,
where there is sufficient water to
run machinery for working the
marble. The marble in this vicin-
ity has several colors, ranging
from pure white to shades in red OF
flesh color. These beds are at the
base of the carboniferous forma-
ton or atop of the silurian.
Another locality where fine mar

Gossip is the business of the
feeble minded, and it enfeebles
any mind it captivates. It has
root in misdirected and unhealthy
developed minds of that kind
which is concerned with trivial
aspects of our neighbors lives.
Its characteristic acts are in the
nature of an invasion of domain of
privacy. 1t develops into an end
less struggle to know what goes on
behind the closed blinds of other
peoples houses, and it becomes
scandalous mainly through habit
of making large and unwarranted
differences from facts. People who
have abundant occupation are not
apt to trouble themselves about the
privacy of others. Gossip is, there
fore, the vice of the idler. There
is no doubt, however, that most of
US could find time to gossip if we
enjoyed it. Those who find it
sweet SO manage to snatch the re-
quired time, even if they have TO
neglect taking their meals regular
ly. A mother noticing her daugh-
ter becoming interested in the
chatter of young friends who spent
much time in frivolous gossip,
said: II think it will be better
for you and me to talk over these
things together. l woulk rather
discuss our neighbors with you
than leave you to discuss them
with your young companions. !"
So she set up her little school of
scandal with one pupil. At first
the young girl entered into the con-
versation with some zest; but the
mother quietly directed the con-
versation, and pointed out the line
between guessing and knowing,
and thus temporary cure was
effected.-Texas Sitting.

The Courier Journal gives a col
umn to the necessity of an united
effort in the democratic party in
order to be successful in the next
campaign. 1t states that the re-
publicars are united and wide
awade. This is certainly true.
The democratic party has the ma
jority of popular votes, has had it
in several presidential contest yet
lost, and 40 doubt because of want
in unity of action. If they would
be successful they must organize
and work together. When in bat
tie contest the forces are about
equally divided, the general who
has his men organized, and who
fights Systematically on matured
plans, is sure to defeat his Apo
nents who fight on haphazzard
principles.

"No" is hard word for parents
to say to their children. But pa
rents should never let their kind
ness rule their Judgement. They
should never gi4e their consent
for child to do that which their
judgement says is not best for the
child; that firmIless necessary in
parental control ceases at once,
and the child becomes the parent,
and at the same time a victim of
its own whims, q misery to itself
and an annoyance to others. With
out this firmness on the part of
the parent, the child soon learns
to place its judgement on equality
with its parents, and ere that child
has attained its sixteenth year it
viii be not only openly violating
its parents wishes and giving no
weight to parental advice, but even
be debating to parents in matters
which the parents alone should
have the say. And in such cases
the father says his boys are will
full, disobedient boys, and the
mothers advice to her daughters
is not countenanced, her wishes
spurned, and she thinks strange of
her daughters because they seem
not to think, mother is their best
friend. The fault is wholly with
the over-indulgent parents, aud all
because their Judgement and firm
ness is ruled by misdirected deeds
of kindness. Children are for the
most part what the parents would
make them, and they can detect
consistency in the parents just
about as quick if not a little quick
er than parents themselves. On
the other hand parents can abuse
their power until their oppress-
ion becomes tyranieal, and of the
two evils the one is about as bad
as the other. If parents would
have their children love, honor
and obey them, they must exercise
careful judgement, firmness in de-
cisions, and be consistent in their
actions.
