CHILD BRIDES OUT OF DATE
Sweet Angeline Does Not Wed at
Seventeen Now

Singular how sentiment changes with
the modes of century! Did you ever
remark that. according to all authori-
ties concerned, your mother and th=
mother of every one else of the present
generation was wed0ed at 18? The
grandmammas usually met their mates
and married them while still at school,
and according to tradition their first
long frock was the wedding robe"
Things have changed. The girl of IS
today is hardly finished school, seldom
in society and she rarely marries until
she has tasted two seasons of social joys
To be sure, even with this late marry
ing, divorces are more numerous than in
olden time. But, then, they are less
frowned upon.
Even broken. engagement In other
days was a stigma which no young wo-
man cared to bring upon herself. Ard
the broken engagement is often bless
ing in disguise!
The moral of the whole affair seems to
be that young people should beware of
impulsive betrothalS. Boys and girls
who are scarcely out of their teens can
not be regarded as having ary fiXity Of
mind, and the chances are that before
the hymenial altar is reached both Will
have seen that they were mistaken.
When this stage is reached it Is infinite
ly better to draw back before the final
step has been taken which may ruin
two lives,

HE WAS LIKE VENUS DE MILO
Which Was Why a Chicago Belle
Turned Him Down

He was in love with a young woman
who lives on the west side, and who
never failed to entertain him on the oc-
casion of his frequent calls, but the af-
fair is broken off now
On the occasion of his last call he took
particular pains to make himself attrac-
tive, his avowed intention being to tell
his beloved of his admiration for her.
They sat for some time in the parlor of
her home and then started for a stroll
in the moonlight.
After walking several blocks, during
which time neither one had said much,
the young woman suddenly stopped.
You remind me of the Venus de
Milo" she exclaimed.
Thinking he had at last made the de-
sired impression, he smiled and thanked
her for the supposed compliment. 1t en-
couraged him and he proposed on the
spot, but his suit was coldly rejected.
On his return home he consulted an en-
cyclopedia and was deeply chagrined to
learn that the Venus de Milo was with
out arms.-Chicago Journal.

HOUSE FURNISHINGS
Brass Bedsteads Are tho Favorites In
Up-to-Date Houses

Brass bedsteads are still preferred by
those who can afford them; next come
mahogany and other hard woods; then
softer woods stained the new moss
green or enameled white, with designs
Of windmills and canals in blue, to imi-
tate Delft ware. Bedspreads come in all
the delicate colors, but the unrelieveo
white are the most desirable, because
the best to launder. Cottage quilts are
gay weavings at a low price, which re-
semble the homemade efforts of our
grandmothers. These spreads. are. es-
pecially sold for summer house use and

les'' effect in delicate colors, pink, blue.
light and delft, with flower and fern pat
terms; ST. There are better qualities in
these effects, and the colorings include
deep yellow and lilac, as well as pinks
and blues.
English dimity spreads are inexpen-
sive, some so low as So. Then. there are
white spreads, with the deep border and
"brocaded" coverings of large size, also
with the satin" finish. You can pay as
high as S25 for some of these and when
you get to elegant lace spreads laid over
these there is no limit to the cost Plain
or elaborate, there is just one way now
in favor of dressing a bed, and that is
with the cover neatly tucked in all around
and surmounted by round French
bolster whose cover must match the
spreads. Heavy white linen, with bor-
ders and centerpiece embroidered in yell
low wash goods, looks well.

Never Needed a Doctor

Proba bly, one of the most remarkabl
old women now living in Pennsylvania
is Mrs. Mary Ann Cassiday Of Coalport,
Pa, who is now los years of age, hale
and hearty She was the mother of
eighteen children, thirteen boys and five
girls OF this number nine are living
and nine are dead. She gave birth to
four pairs of twins. Mrs. Cassiday was
born in County Fermnagh, Ireland, in
1892. coming with her husband and fam
lily to this country in 1S45. From their
landing at New York they went to Phil
adelphia, thence to Broadtop, Johns
town, Gallitzin, Houtzdale, and finally
located in Coalport, where she has lived
ever since. She lived in Johnstown
forty-two years ago, when the canal was
first operated there. Her husband was
killed at Broadtop few years after
coming to America by being caught in
coal shaft when returning from work.
Mrs. Cassiday was never known to be
sick and never had a physician. She
never went to a dance in her life. For
the past twenty-four years she has had
her second sight, and now does not
need to wear glasses. Though she is
toothless, she can eat heartily three
times a day. She weighed 220 pounds
when coming to this country, but dur
ing the past fifteen years she has
dropped to about 200. About year ago
che kissed one of her twin boys goodbye
as he lay in his coffin, he having died at
the age of 65 years. Mrs. Cassiday is
member of the Catholic church.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

Household Hints

One of the most useful articles for
cleaning cooking pots and pans is a
wire chain dishcloth. 1t is now made
fastened to- a long, smooth, wooden
handle, which allows one to use it with
out putting the hands into the water
The hardy, free-booming, climbing
single rose is one of the most graceful
plants for decorating the table. The
sprays may be laid upon the cloth in any
manner desired, or draped from the
chandelier to the table. The blossoms
will remain fresh for some time.
A small clean whisk broom kept in
the clothes basket es the most conven-
lent to use for dampening clothes. Dip
the broom into bowl of clear water and
very lightly shake the water over the
clothing. In this manner the work is
done more evenly and quickly than II
the fingers are employed to sprinkle the
water about.
Now the time has come again for pre-
pairing the little cucumbers for pick
ling, do not forget to add a little horse
,radish root to- the vinegar the cucum-
,bers are put in; it helps to retain the
strength in the vinegar and prevents
mold from coming over TIE top of the
liquid. The horseradish leaves, too, are
excellent for laying over the top.
No particle of cheese no matter how
small, should be thrown away or allowed
to mold and thus go to waste, for it may
be used in many different ways besides
the usual rarebit or dish of macaroni
and cheese. White, crisp lettuce with
a dressing and a little grated cheese
scattered over the whole is very fine.
Try grating a little cheese upon a dish
of stewed potatoes.

N INTERESTING CONTEST
HOW THE STOUT LADY FOOLED
THE TALENT
Six Competitors Furnish Plenty Of
Amusement-Funny Falls and
Daring Horsemanship

HAVRE, Mont, Aug. 1,-"Big fsSSk"
Livingston, of the Lost Creek ranchs
stood in the door Of the Polar Bear sa-
loon this afternoon, and, expanding his
chest and opening his mouth till his
larynx could be seen, remarked: ZIP.
yip!" in a voice heard at the railroad coal
chutes, three-quarters of mile away.
Mr.. Livingston was full of enthusiasm
and Polar Bear nose paint. On his head
he had a weather-stained sombrero, with
rattlesnake skin for hat band His
blue flannel shirt was dusty and needed
patching. His legs were encased in
brown canvas overalls and around his
waist was cartridge belt to which was
attached a Colt As He wore high
heeled boots and an air Of great exhila-
ration. He had been recreating himself
at a broncho busting match, and as the
broncho buster upon whom he bet had
won the match Mr.. Livingston was in
funds and at peace with himself and all
the world. Such is life in. Havre.
The broncho busting match was
novelty because the six competitors In
the contest were all young women-na-
tives of Montana. Miss Nellie Selles-
ted carried off the honors Of the day by
making score of the entire six mounts,
while the second prize was awarded to
Miss Jennie Avery who mastered four
out of possible six Of the buckers.
The contest lasted three hours. and
there wasn't a dull minute during the
whole time. Sometimes the bronchos
pitched the riders far backward, and
bets were made on their chances while
the equestriennes were still in the air.
Again, when a broncho that failed to
throw it's rider quickly dropped and roll
ed on the ground great activity had to be
displayed by the rider to avoid crush
ing defeat-crushing in more ways than
one.
The contest, which every resident Of
Havre attended, was held in a corral
mile outside of town. Some curious bets
were made by the gambling element as to
the outcome of the efforts of the different
hroncho busters. The first pony
mounted by short lady, held the record
of crushing every rider who ever rode
him by rolling on the ground Odds
were freely offered that the short lady of
avoirdupois would be transformed into
the tallest being in Havre by the rolling
process. The stout lady, however, fooled
the talent by scoring, and the "bookies''
raked in all the money. Great excite
ment prevailed during the entire con-
test and it increased in intensity from
! the beginning. Every spectator in the
crowd was an enthusiastic patron of the
sport. Each contestant had a certain
number of admirers, but every point
scored by any of the riders was ac-
knowledged in appreciative applause by

The struggle Of life is hardest when
one has to keep all the troubles to
oneself.
The alligator grip, once regarded as
the height of elegance, is now deemed
decidedly passe.
When one commences to pull out gray

A purpo@sless life leaves its marks on

Despite the fact that signs in the cars
warn passengers not to get off before

The slender woman is particularly in

what was the case that made the deep

known detectives response to the query
of Washington Star reporter. well, if
1 should tell it it would ruin my reputa-
ton, but I will give it to you with the
understanding that my name is not to be
