Ing Woman In Love Affairs.


Have women as much right to hunt
husbands as men have to hunt wives
While this matter has been discussed
more or less for long time-ages. pos
sibly-it is becoming quite lively of late
and promises to be one of the social
topics of the future. The coming wom-
an. no doubt, is responsible for It's re-
viyal, because she certainly will insist
upon her right to choose a husband for
herself. Can you blame her?
You remember the sketch of the wom-
an who couldn't make her love known,
as given by Shakespeare in Twelfth
Night"
she never told her love,
But let concealment like a worm T. the
bud
Feed on her damask cheek: she pined
In thought.
And with green and yellow melan-
choly
she sat like Patience on a monument,
Smiling at grief"
There is no sense in any woman act
Ing after this fashion. Even IL her
hrst effort should prove unsuccessful
she need not despair, for there is no man
30 good that there are not others as
good. You may be assured the coming
woman Will not sit like patience on a
monument smiling at grief" She will

1t was evident from her attire that
she had an object in concealing her age.
Her escort was about IS years old. Their
actions denoted that she was either his

talked very loudly; her escort answered
quietly. Everybody In the car could

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Circus.

The circus has come and gone and it is
very ques tionable whether they got any
the best of the town or not, as the hard
rain on Monday morning kept most
country people from coming in. No
doubt many small boys looked upon
that rain as the sadest event OF Their
lives, while their fathers enjoyed it with
a satisfaction incomprehensible to them.
Nothing puts new life into a boy like a
circus, and to have all his hopes and ex-
pectations crushed out by a rain is
really too bad, but boys we are really
glad you did not get to come, that is we
would rather have the rain than the Cir
Gus. The performance was pretty good
or was at least up to the average, and
the street parade was above the aver
age for this country. There was no
evening performance by reason OF the
bad weather and before the sun was
down the circus was on the cars ready
for pulling out.

A Little Scrap

On Monday while the circus parade
was passing down the street, certain
parties who had more gall than sense.
threw some kind OF fluid on the horses
riden by the circus people which caused
the animals to kick and pitch till they
dumped their riders. A number OF by
ISLANDERS asked the parties to deslst
from such conduct, which seemed to
only add to their cussedness. Bod Boyd
at last asked them in a gentlemanly like
manner to stop, when Jud Pelter, one
OF the offending parties, turned round
and began cursing and calling him vile
names. Bob took it for q short time,
but finally landed his fist in Pelters face
and walked on him a few times. Peters
friends sent him away for repairs which
ended the rumpus.

To MAKE whites Of eggs beat quickly,

IT is well to boil the molasses to- be

The American Academy OF Medicine
recently held it's twentieth anniversary
in Baltimore. The Proper Teaching OF
Physiology in the Public School as a
Means of Preventing Intemperance and
Disease" was the subject OF a paper bv
a leading physician, DR.. Delaney Roch-
ester, of Buffalo, N. Y. Other papers
were read on the same subject and toll
lowed by discussion. 1t was generally
agreed, with the sentiment OF these
papers, that the remedy lies in the home
and school. Copies OF the papers were
ordered sent to the leading periodicals
OF the country. The subject OF another
paper a "What Shall we do with Our
Alcoholic Inebrlates?" 1t is encouraging
when the medical profession will take
up these subjects and discuss them at
their great gatherings with temperance
physlologles and books that teach cor
rect habits OF living and the influence of
the medical science behind them the adj
vancement OF the time when this evil
shall be put away is heralded.

on Sir Andrew Clark, the following incl

attitude the eminent physician took in
regard to the use of stimulants: ga
clergyman complained to him Of feeling
low and depressed, unable to face his
wolk, and was tempted to rely on slim
ulants. Sir Andrew saw that the posi-
ton was a perllous one, and that it was
n crisis IN the mans life. He dealt with
the case, and forbade the resort to slim
ulants, when the patient declared that
he would be unequal to his work and
ready to sink. Then said Sir Andrew,
