GIRLS VALUE PURITY IN MEN.
The Exceptions, Who Wed Men of the
World, Always Repent of 1t.


A young man writes to Edward w.
Box inquiring why so many girls seem
to prefer the company of young fellows
of slightly blotted character-men who
have seen the world-and in many
cases marry them, in face of the fact
that their past lives are known to them.
In the Ladies Home Journal Mr..
Box, it's editor, makes this reply: Girls,
that is, the right kind of girls, do not
prefer the company of young men OF
this sort. Doubtless, you have come
across instances where this rule has
been otherwise; so have /. But it is all
in the seeming, and not in the reality.
Depend upon one thing: girls have as
high an estimate of purity in man as
men have of purity in woman. There
are, of course, cases to the contrary, but
these are few. Where girls marry men
who are known to have led what is
called worldly life, it is more gener-
ally due to misunderstanding of facts
or to ignorance than people imagine.
There is a type of girl who finds a pc
culiar satisfaction in the conquest of
man who has 'seen the world" and
then comes to her as the one woman of
all her sex who can make him happy.
This sometimes pleases her vanity and
love of conquest, but she is not many
years older before she discovers that
she has satisfied those feelings at
very high cost. There is another type
of girl who rather fancies a man who
is what is called fast But that sort
of girl is painfully ignorant of what is
meant by that word as applied to a
man. If she were not, she would be
very apt to change the adjective to
vulgar And as she natures she finds
this out 1t is only young men Of up
right lives who can hope to win the
favor and love of girls of high motives,
the girls who make the best wives If
at times girls seem to favor young men
of another kind. the glamour is simply
transitory. 1t is rare very rare, that a
girls better instincts do not lead her
to the higher grade of young men. An
upright life never fails of reward, and
of the highest reward. from the hands
of woman"

hood This is fully answered by the
statement that Senators White and
Perkins could not have been reached by
this means. Neither of them know OF
a single instance in which the railroad
has sought title to a mine. Neither of
them can cite a single case where a
miner has been disturbed in the title
to his mine by the railroad company.
Both were playing the low game OF
demagogy when they wrote and signed
the letter charging these offenses
against the railroad company.
Senators White and Perkins enjoy
no immunity from a full, comprehensive
and adequate response to their asser-
tions and allegations. They have made
charges without the slightest founda-
ton either in their own knowledge or in
the facts as they exist. They have as
saulted reputation. They have in ef-
feet declared that the railroad company
is a thief and a robber in the matter of
stealing titles to mines, and in making
this charge they have been guilty both
in intent and in fact OF malicious mis-
representation.
When United States Senators COM
port themselves in a manner consistent
with the dignities which have been
conferred upon them by the people of
California, then they will be entitled to
more considerate treatment than is ac
corded here; but there are occasions
when the only adequate reply to mali
cious slander is the plain truth, and the
plain truth in this instance is that both
Senators White and Perkins have lied
by the allegations they have made and
by the inferences they are perfectly
willing shall be drawn from these allie
cations, and they will be confronted
continuously with the consequences of
this departure from the truth until it
shall be fully known of all men that
they have lied. These Senators have
resorted to the blackguardism of will
full Misrepresentation and are there
fore not entitled to be treated as gem
tlemen.

press''-we like it: "1ts oranges would
thrive on snow, if they were not all in
the hothouses, and instead of fertilizing
or irrigating oranges or other fruit
trees in that vicinity they surround
their trunks with blocks of ice and
sprinkle ice cream on the leaves" Isn't
that funny real funny? How superbly
witty the Express can be: "The idea
that people should have gone Snow-

IN the northern citrus belt, is an out
rageous falsehoOd, which the press of
that section should hasten to deny. A
country which boasts that it never has
any frost certainly cannot have any
snow; and have we not al been told
daily through the columns of the north
ern newspapers that there is no such
thing as frost and snow in the northern
citrus belt?" No; nobody ever said so:

have heard of people doing something
of that kind regarding these northern

tenderfoot manifested a disposition to
drop up this way and see for himself if
the grass grows ON the top side of the

That is What Settled the Late I'm
pleasantness.
Governor Matthews is telling a good
story he heard in the South recently
In a valley in the northern part of Geor-
gia, between two mountains which shut
out all communication with the outside
world, there lived an old planter who,
while an ardent adherent of the South
ern cause, was too badly crippled by
infirmities to shoulder a musket and
march barefooted. But he had a son
whom he sent, and after the boy had
disappeared down the ROAD the old man
waited for the news of the strife. Oc-
casionally rumors of Southern victories
would float over the mountains, and the
old man-Uncle S. he was called-would
rejoice and take an unusually large
dose of mint julep. At other times,
when reverse news came, and it was re-
ported that the Gray had been turned
back, the old man would bitterly la
ment, and use the same remedy for
grief and sorrow that he had used to
quiet his joy. Through it all he had
abundant faith in the ultimate victory
of the Confederate army, and any
doubt expressed would meet with a
stern rebuke.
The years wore on and news failed
to arrive The valley was deserted, and
there was no one to learn the course Of
events. The old man smoked his pipe
and waited impatiently for news. One
morning as he sat on the front porch
with his pipe, far down the dusty road
appeared the form of a solitary pedes-
trian. Gradually he approached, and
the feeble vision of the old planter rec
ognized his long-absent son. The puffs
from his pipe came thick and fast, but
this was the only sign of eagerness or
nervousness displayed. The gate swung
open and the soldier walked up and sat
down on the steps.
''Mornin', Jim,' said the old man.
'"Mornin', pap" was the quiet re-
sponse.
'Shot?"
Mop"
"Sick?"
Mop"
The old man reached behind him for
stout club which he used as a cane.
"Jim," he said, nervously, Jim, ye
| didn't desart?'
mo, we're whipped
WHAT
Eyes, we're whipped. Lee has sur
rendered with his army and we uns all
laid down our guns"
The old man jabbed with his cane at
fly for a minute and then, looking up
with a troubled expression, asked:
Jim, how'd it happen?'
"Well, pap, we uns all fit our best, as
long as it was an even shake; but we
uns all found out at the Lord was a
Yank an it was no use. We uns laid
down our guns an cum home. "-Indi-

without it she would lose the brightness OF

but health means more than most people
think of. Real health must mean that
woman is really woman. That she is
strong and perfect in a sexual way, as well
as in every other. That she is capable of
performing perfectly the duties of matern-
ity. Upon her strength in this way depends
to a large extent her general health, her
good looks and her attractiveness. Some
women are born stronger than others.

this, it is regrettable. If prices were not
high enough to afford fair profit it is
right to advance them, but what need

chances are that the combination is not
a matter of necessity. Any way viewed
