WHAT THE BACHELOR SAYS.

Women live on love and love
lives on men.
Love was made blind soft could
not see how beautiful it was.
After q man is forty heis q
habit, and a wife is only che
hook he hangs it upon.
There is only one thing sweeter
to q woman than an offer Of mar.
rige. and that is another one.
Probably the strongest instinct
man possesses is to turn up his
coat collar when he needs q shave
Until man has been married
he never can realize that a wo-
man can feel better because she
cries.
After q girl is in love, she be-
gins to look at every widow she
meets with a sympathetic, sor-
rowful.lo look
A woman never thinks she has
got her lace front fussy enough
till it has got at least nine pins
to the square inch in it.
AS soon as a man finds that he
has got himself engaged to a girl
he gives up believing that he is
q free moral agent.
In novels man falls in love
with a woman for her eyes. In
real life he is more likely TO fall
in love with her eyes for wo-
man.
1t isn't near SO big an accom-
pllshment in a girl to be able to
blnsh when she wants to as it is
to be able to blush when she
wants not to.
A woman never speaks of a
girl as just as good as she can be
unless eyes look wistful and she
has the foreign missionary habit.
Probably none of tie women
who believe in Christian science
have faith enough to stick the
stamp on letter before they
write the address.
Whenever you SEGA man try
ing to go around with hating

some woman has told him she
thought he had a history.

as "a lady in the Kitchen" de
clares that she would rather be
the cook in a fashionable house
than be mistress of it. This
queen of the kitchen has met
with many reverses, but instead
of growing old and morose she
has grown philosophical and is
making the best of life, which
she finds isn't half bad. She
manages to take lin the opera
from the balcony from the
gallery, sees a good play now
and then, reads books which are
beyond the comprehension of her
mistress, feeds on the fat of the
land, and all without the worry
of being a fine lady.
"As for being a saleswoman in
a store or a typewriter or a clerk,
l Lwouldn't like tat least l

The Parkersburg Sentinel is
disposed to treat the proposition
to lock and dam the West Fork
river to Clarksburg as a joke,
but to those of US who are &C.
auainted with the stream the
idea is entirely practical. There
is but little fall between Clarks-
burg and the mouth of the river
and it could be improved at a
comparative small cost. 1t is
true that at times the river gets
very low. but at times the Ohio
is not navigable for a light draft
duck, and a small boy could wade
the lower Monongahela between
dams. There is sufficient water
in the West Fork ifit was merely
improved, to make it navigable
