Choosing q Husband

Don't marry a fashionable man
he is soft.
Don't marry your inferior men,
tally-you cannot love him. (
Don't marry a spendthrift-you
will be compelled to support your
self.
DON'T marry a man who has many
sweethearts-he will surely be
WORTHLESS. -
Don't marry man to reform him
better drown yourself, or take
"Rough or Rats"
Don't marry a man who smokes
smoking is not manly. If he
loves you he will quit it.
Don't marry man who is in the
habit of "drinking"-he is on the
highway to ruin.
Don't marry man whose feet,
hands, nose and ears are small--he is
"small potato" But if you are
the opposite, and want a baby hus-
band, you can consider the matter.
Real men never have very small
features-especially noses.
Don't marry man who has the
reputation of gambling, or speculat-
ing-you will regret it.
Don't marry a man who has sown
much wild oats-they are liable to
spring up when you least expect
them.
Don't marry man who chews
tobacco-if you do your stove plate
and coal hod will always be orna,
mented with the unpleasant stuff.

FRANCE TALKS MORE WAR
SAYS SPAIN WILL YET RESIST.
An Absurd Statement by Some I'm
named Frenchmnn-What France
Thinks and Does Is of No Inter-
national Importance.

Paris, Sept. 27.--While the reception
accorded the United States peace commits
sion here is all that could be desired and
while the French foreign office has taken
great pains to treat the American and
Spanish commissioners IN precisely the
same manner, it must be admitted that
the general atmosphere of Paris. especi-
ally the diplomatic atmosphere, does not
incline towards Ame1ca.
1t is the general impression here that
the American commissioners have instruc.
tions to provide for the retention of Ma
Mia and the island of Luzon, and for
such commission to pretend to negotiate
is farce said a prominent diplomat.
He continued:
America will put herself diplomatic
ally in the wrong when she exceeds the
provisions of the protocol which both ma
tions signed. know the Spaniards have
come prepared to make concessions, but
if the Americans instructions are of an
uncompromising nature, which is gener-
ally believed here to be the case. YOU can
rest assured that the work of the commits
sion will be futile. The Spaniards will
retire and America will at least have to
threaten the resumption of hosulities be-
fore she will gain her point
The French newspapers, beyond an
nouncing the arrival of the commission
ers, make no comment upon the matter.
The American peace commission for the
first time since its appointment met As
body today for two hours at the Cont
mental hotel

At a meeting of the school board OF
Boise, Idaho, the question OF the tax levy
was discussed at some length. An esti-
mate from ex-SecretaIy Himroad was pre-
sented, giving the years expenses at $780,
440. To this the board added $1,000,
and on that basis the levy was fixed at
81 on the 500 of assessed valuation. Last
year the levy was so cents. The increase
is made necessary by numerous addition
al expenses in the way of Improvements
at the school buildings, and by reason OF
the fact that the district assessment is
100000 below what it was last year.
The total assessed valuation Of the district
is 81 $4,000. The levy will raise $l9,34O,
and the money received from the appor-
tionment will bring the total up to $32,-
