she MUST MARRY THE JUDGE.
Remarkable Method of Choosing q
Wife by Making Her Apply for Office.

A Remarkable Method of Choosing q
Wife by Making Her Apply for Office.
Among the many remarkable propo-
sails of marriage which have been pub
lished from time to time in the news
papers. the most unique is the follow
ing. which appears in our advertising
columns:
Wanted-A young lady for clerk Of the county
court Of Ebert county. 1t will be necessary
for her to marry the county Judge. Address
County Judge, Elberton. ia.
Coming as it does in the dawn Of leap
year, this advertisement by Judge j. A.
Roebuck has special force and signiti-
canoe. Application for the position of
clerk under the terms of the above ad-
vertisement would be equivalent, Of
course. to proposal Of marriage to
Judge Roebuck. This, in any other
year. might not be considered just the
proper thing for a young lady to do. but
in leap year who shall question her
right to such course?
But see the cleverness of the judge.
By simply mastering up the audacity to
announce in the advertising columns Of
the two leading papers in Georgia that
he is anxious for q wife. which is an
entirely praiseworthy aspiration, and
which is the plain English of his clever
advertisement, he has at single bound
left the embarrassing position Of sutton
and taken the vantage ground Of the one
to be wooed.
And see. too. the easy avenue Of escape
from undesirable applicants which is
left to him and the embarrassment
which is saved the young ladies. While
it might be u trying ordeal for q young
lady to propose marriage even to the
man she loves, in this day of female
stenographers, typewriters and book
keepers there need be no embarrassment
on ladys part in applying for any re.
spectacle clerkship. Therefore, when q
young lady has become acquainted with
Judge Roebuck. of the Ebert county
court. and feels that she ia willing tt
share the honors and emoluments Of hi
office, she has only to apply for the posi-
ton of clerk in his court.
If the Judge fancies the applicant tn
bargain can be closed at once. and tn
clerks salary remains in the family. II
on the contrary, the applicant woult
not be acceptable as Mrs. Roebuck
the judge has only to represent tn
duties of the Office as being such tina
she could not fill them, and regret tina
he cannot give her the position. Bot
parties thus escape all reference to tn
embarrassing part Of the business. L

Choosing II ans.

Choose freshly cured hams. Formerly
the years supply was packed in the win
ter, and after smoking must needs be
canvased to preserve it against the raw
ages of flies, and in this shape carried to
meet the demand through the summer
and fall. This necessarily resulted in a
considerable loss of the juices of the
meat by evaporation, while the surface
of tho flesh gradually became densely
covered with mildew. which often gave
a modify flavor to the entire ham. This
has now been entirely obviated by such
improvements in curing by ice that hams
of the very finest quality are prepared
even in the hottest weather.-New York

Cooperation In English Housekeeping.
The English housekeeper, without in
tending to do 80, has really taken two
long steps in the direction of co-opera-
tive housekeeping. For in most small
establishments. where perhaps only
three or four servants are kept. no
breadmaking is done at home and the
washing is all put out. The bread pur-
chased is not, however, what is tech
nically known to US as bakers bread"
The huge loaves are firm and light, and
similar in grain to what the best home
cook could produce. The various kinds
of hot bread dear to an Americans
heart are neither desired nor found on
an Englishman's table, and although
an American housekeeper might con-
slider it bad management to buy her
bread. to the English housekeeper the
plan seems the best in the world.
As the English housekeeper is nothing
if not thrifty. without further discussion
it may be taken for granted that CO.
operation between her and the baker
must mean q saving Of pocket for her,
as we'll as simplifying of her household
arrangements In the same way, tho
fact that no washing is done at home,
means y saving both Of fuel and of fric-
ton in the kitchen. Furthermore. no
unsightly lines with their burden Of
clothes ever disfigure the back yard of an
English house. The yard is instead a
thing of beauty. with its central grass
plot. its little tagged walk. and with ita
bushes and vines neatly trained against
the surrounding walls.-Cor Home

How wheat Came to Earth.

A classic account of the distribution of
wheat over the primeval world shows that
Ceres, having taught her favorite, Triptol-
emus, the art Of agriculture and the sci
ence Of breadmaking, gave him her chariot,
q celestial vehicle. and that it he travelled
night and day. distributing this valuable
bread grain among all nations Of the earth.

woman SuuraSe IN lnh COuutry'
In the United States. where the COM
munal system never existed except in
some of it's remote. modified forms, mu-
nicipai suffrage for women has come
slowly In only two states, Wyoming
and Kansas. are women admitted to the
franchise and made eligible to municipal
Offices generally, although in fifteen
states they may vote in the school cleo
tons Several states have granted to
women simply the right Of being elected
to school offices. provided always that
they possess the qualifications prescribed
for men.
The question is thus decided in Cali
fornia. Illinois. Indiana, Iowa. Louisiana.
Maine. Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.
At the present time the system of grant
ing to women both rights. eligibility and
suffrage in school matters has been
adopted in the following states besides
Massachusetts Colorado. North and
South Dakota. Idaho. Michigan. Mime
sofa. Montana. New Hampshire. New
Jersey. New York. Oregon. Vermont,
Washington and Wisconsin. and the ter
ritory Of Arizona.
Of course to this list must be added
Wyoming where women vote at all
elections. and Kansas. where they possess
complete local suffrage. Finally, Ken
lucky and Nebraska admit women only
to the school franchise, and that under
special conditions. - Boston Common

To Help Women in the Country.

To Help Women In the Country.
A Michigan woman, much interested
in the fresh air work, suggests that city
women engaged in this work should in
vite the country mothers who have en-
tertained children ut their homes TO visit
in the city homes few days in the win
ter These farmers wives, who take in
the city waits ut time when summer
work presses hardest and summer heat
is most oppressive, need u change OF
scene almost ~ much ~ do the mothers
and children in the tenements. and for
lack Of change and rest it is said that
farmers wives form large per cent. OF
the inmates of insane asylums. 1t is not
the hard work. but want Of companion
ship. the isolation from books. music,
lectures. the theater, the desolation Of
intellectual starvation.
In some Of the western towns move
ment is on foot to establish clubs among
the country women. where it is believed
a higher mental development is possible
| than in the city, because no other form
of recreation will distract attention.
The plan is to divide each county into
sections and organize woman's club in
each section. These country clubs will
cooperate with those in the cities for
the interchange of ideas and the forming
Of friendships mutually benefcial.-New
