SO you want me to describe for the
benefl. Of the young men, who. like the
frog in the nursery rhyme, would per-
slst IN going a-woolng whether their
mother would let them or.no, the girl
that | think would make the righ,
kind of wife. Well l can only say
none Of your white faced damsels for
me. Give me the nut-brown girl who
abandonS her sun-bonnet, who can
climb tree with any boy, who pre-
ters good bread to chocolate caramels
and baked beans to angel cake. The
kind Of an angel for me weighs 14o
pounds and has m.re call for crash
towels than cosmetics. Her waist is
more than nine inches in circumfer-
ence. She never laced and never will
She is ruddy and rosy and helps her
self. You won't find her promenading
up and down the fashionable thorough
fares on Saturday afternoons TO display
her face and figure to the dudes and
corner loungers, but you will find her
at home faithfully performing her
home duties. She has plenty Of room
in her shoes. She wears her own hair
and doesn't read trashy novels nor
wear cheap, flashy jewelry. She does
not sip rum disguised as champagne
or under any other name, and she
never chews gum. She retires and
rises early, and there is nothing she
despses SO much as dude or a dandy.
She has noble ambition to be pure
and true and good il every relation in
life. The glance of her clear, bright
eye says 9" will try" with such EN- pha-
sis that you instinctively feel that she
is certain to succeed in whatever she
undertakes. If you spark or court her
she will deal honestly with you. Her
promise once given is sacred and invi-
olable, and she was never known to
filrt. She is SO modest, SC quiet, SO
pure, such princess of peace, such a
queen among queens that you cannot
fail to Know the moment you look her
in the face and hear her speak, that
she would be tbs very rightest possible
right kind of a wife.

We have baby and he looks like me,
Somebody said SO one day;
But l have never been able to see,
Though somebody said so one day.

Neither blue, gray nor green, just betWiXt

Still our baby looks like me.
His bright tresses hold the lustrc of gold

And mine are as straight as the red man S

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
Wall Street Review,

New York, Jan. 7.-Speculation at the
Stock Exchange was nervous and irreEu-
lar today. Business was on a smaller
scale, however. the transactions amount
prOach to decentralization at the opening
owing to lower cables from London, the
execution of stop loss orders and sales
by local commission houses. The break
in the active issues at this time ranged
from Y to 2s4 per cent. Pacific Mall. Big

standard Issues for investment. London
subsequently, bought literally Of st. Paul
and other International issues. The for
eign buying Of St. Paul was on larger
scale, some estimating 1t at fully 10000
shares. The local short interest which has
become quite heavy Of late because Of the
bond issue development and the uncer-
tainty which 1t Is thought must exist In
financial circles until the matter Is finally
settled became alarmed at the London and
commission houses buying and endeavored
to cover. The result was a rise OF any

some highly sensational rumors regarding
the European political situation were cir
culated. One story was that the German
ambassador had been fired on in London.
The rumor originated here, was tele-
graphed to Boston as report current in
the board and was later sent from Boston
to New York as an actual fact. or course
there was nothing in It, The gold with

THE MAN WHO ADVERTISED
ON the San Francisco Post,

From the San Francisco Post.
Once, when was publishing a paper in
Seattle, l convinced u man in a most EN-
phatic way that 1t paid to advertise" said
an old journalist. He was n fairly pros
porous merchant and l had tried for a
long time to get him to insert an advertise
ment in my paper.
"'Oh. it's no use,' he would say Il
never read the advertisements in paper,
and no .one else does. 1 believe In adver-
tising, but In way that will force itself
on the public. Then 1t pays. But in a
newspaper-pshaw! Every body who reads

that people do read the advertising pages

"'Of course l will. / advertise where

"The next day 1 ran the following line
In the lightest faced agate in the Office
and stuck 1t in the most obscure corner
of the paper between couple of patent
medicine ads:
"'What is Cohen going to do about it?'
"The next day so many people annoyed
him by asking him what that line meant
that he begged me to explain the matter
in my next issue. ! promised to do It II
he would let ME write the explanation
and stand to it, He agreed, and l wrote:
