REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Love isn't lawless-it only makes its own laws.
 A girl is always ready to look as If she was in love with any man who will take her to the theater.
 When a girl really feels distressed she gets afraid to do anything suddenly for fear her clothes won't set right.
 When you devil a woman she will al- ways smile like she enjoyed it till you get near enough to reach. A cat acts the same way.
 Every woman thinks she can make a man happy, and every man thinks he can fix the drawer in the kitchen table so it won't stick.
 When girl can't buy a piece of ribbon without wondering whether a certain man will like 1t 1t Is time for her to begin to wear things she knows he hates.-New York Press.

THE MAN WHO HADN'T HEARD.

He boasted of the dangers
 That he had bravel~ faced He told of wicked ruffians And bullies he had chased, And they that heard him boasting Became imbued, at last, With the feeling that his courage And his might were truly vast. ez He spoke and others trembted. They let him have his way; Nobody dared to question
 Aught that he had to say. As some anointed monarch He held his lordly sway He spoke, and they that heard him Rushed blindly to obey. One day there came a stranger, Who knew not of the might, The bravery, or prowess Of this unconquered knight; Who had not heard him boasting, Who knew not of his fame, T Who did not even tremble When he heard his awful name. Somehow they met and quarreled Ere the stranger knew The man of might was humbled When they finally got through, And the stranger, when they told him The truth. was fain to own That he never could have licked him If he'd happened to have known.

THE USEFUL INJUNCTION.

TT HE injunction has won much admiration. Per
 haps there is nothing known to the beautiful
 civilization, of which there are evidences all about us such as may be discerned with the naked eye, that has done to show that man did not waste the time he spent in developing from a state of monkeyhood. No simian chattering in tree ever had the bissfu knowledge that if neighbor proposed to thump him with a cocoanut he could protect him. self with injunction. The injunction has never yet been employed check the cyclone stay the pre- mature frost stife the gab of the political speaker Neither has been applied to the regulation Of the movements of the sun. With these exceptions, how ever it has been adapted human needs and the exceptions will merely serve to show that ahead are new possibilities.
 The latest instance in which the injunction achieved fame in South Dakota. There young man and a young wanted to get married but pair of parents said may" in loud voice They had with their rper discretion, picked out another fellow to lead their daughter the altar and they proposed to have her led despite her tendency to ball But being wise in their generation they did rely on simple protest the sometimes nasty shotgun; they knew a better trick. They got an injunction restraining the ardent sutor from interfering and from intrudng upon the happy home where the sacred knot was being tied. An officer was hand to serve the pa per- and when the lover appeared he was clapped into jail Meanwhile the bride was given away amid con gratuations and many a hope that they might live happily after.
 Now that 1t is all over and with no desire to mar a honeymoon auspiciously begun the suggestion is made that the old man get out new injunction to prevent the almost son-in-law from giving him the kick he deserves and have tackled to it as rider the provision that the daughter must not elope.

 $ The libel case of Claus Spreckels 4 against Andy Lawrence, managing < 4 editor of the Examiner, is attract < ing wide attention throughout the - < State, and already numerous news 4 papers have indorsed the Exam 4 iner's contention that Lawrence 4 could not be guilty because he had 4 no knowledge of the article com 4 plained of until after 1t had been : 4 published.

 employe wrote the article and pub 4 lished it without the knowledge of 4 the editor or proprietor. Suppose 4 a Southern Pacific train should
 run over and kill team of horses 4 belonging to MT. Smith. and Smith 4 should bring suit for damages 4 against the company; what sort of
 a defense would it be for the of 4 ficers of the company to go to the 4 stand and swear that it was the : 4 fault of an employe-the engineer
 and that the killing of the horses
 was done without their knowledge 4 and consent, and that, therefore, 4 Smith could not recover damages? 4 Could a sillier defense than that < be imagined? Yet it Is exactly in - 4 line with the contention of the Elk

A Few Too MANY.

The Literary Digest copies from some
where this story OF the late President
William H. Allen, Of Girard college:
On one occasion a business matter
called Mr.. Allen to a small town in the
central part Of the State. While sitting
in the parlor of the country hotel In
the evening, after transacting his bus,
mess, he was taken in hand by the wife
Of the proprietor who was extremely in
quisitive, and wanted 20 know all about
his private affairs.
Mr.. Allen took it all in good part, and
for time was rather amused.
Finally she asked: Have you got
much Of a family?"
"Oh, yes" said he, and he smiled as
his mind reverted to his hundreds Of pu-
pills,
How many children" she responded.
WELL" said Mr. Allen, with great ear
nestness, "I have five hundred and all
boys"
The good lady was speechless for q
moment. Then she arose, and hurrying
to the door, called to her husband: "Oh,
John! Come in here. We've got Brig
ham Young stoppin' with u.s."

Shoes and Boots.

Nearly everybody wears some kind Of
shoes or boots. There are some few vet
Grams Of the wars and railroad accidents
who have lost their lower limbs and have
no use for shoes or boots. But to those
who value comfortable feet the follow
ing suggestions by DR.. Samuel Appleton
may be Of interest:
l. Never wear shoe that will not
allow the great toe to lie in a straight
line
q Never wear a shoe with a sole
narrow than the outline Of the foot
traced with pencil close under the
rounding edge.
3. Never wear shoe that pinches the
heel.
4. Never wear a shoe or boot so large
in the heel that the foot is not kept in
place.
5. Never wear a shoe or b~ot tight
anywhere
6. Never wear shoe or boot that has
depressions in any part OF the sole to
drop any joint or bearing below the level
plane.
z. Never wear shoe with a sole turn
ing up very much at the toes, as this
causes the cords on the upper part Of the
foot to contract.
8. Never wear shoe that presses up
into the hollow Of the foot,
9. Never have the top Of the boots
tight, as it interferes with the the action
OF the calf muscles, makes one walk
badly and spoils the shape of the ankle.
10. Never come from high heels to low
heels at one jump.
II. Never wear one pair Of shoes all
the time, unless Obliged to do so. Two
pairs OF boots worn day at time al
ternately give more service and are more
healthful.
IL. Never wear leather sole Innings
to stand upon. White cotton drilling
or linen is much better and more health
full.
1S. Never wear a short stocking or
one which after being washed is not at
least one-half inch longer than the foot.
Bear in mind that stockings shrink. Be
sure that they will allow your toes to
spread out at the extreme ends, as this
keeps the joints in place and makes
strong and attractive foot. AS to shape

Real SuperlOrltY.

1t is the first duty Of every woman to
recognize the mutual bond of universal
womanhood. Let her ask herself whether
she would like to hear herself or her
sister spoken Of as a shop girl or a fac
tory girl or servant girl, If necessity
had compelled her for a time to be en-
ployed in any one Of the ways indicated
II she would shrink from 1t little, then
she is little inhuman when she puts her
unknown human sisters who are so COM
PEELED into a class by themselves, feeling
herself to be somewhat their superior
She is really the superior person who has
accepted her work, and is doing 1t faith
fully, whatever It is This designating
others by their casual employment pre-
vents one from making real distinctions
from knowing persons as persons. A
false standard is set up in the minds Of
those who classify and OF those who are
lassified.--Kansas City Journal.

To Judah's maid an angel came.
Prepare dear heart, prepare.
When the angel came to the little maid
And she heard his voice, she was sore afraid
At the sorrOwful, beautiful words that he said:
20 Mary, maid prepare"
Maid Mary waits at the stable door,
Prepare dear Lord, prepare
A little bed for Thy maid t6 rest
For she stands without by Thy strange behest-
Begs but place to lay Thy guest
For Mary, Lord, prepare.
A mother maid lies white within,
Gods circle round her hair
Dumb kneeling bIutes the wonder see;
A star attestS the mystery;
While sage and shepherd IeveTently
Bring praise and incense rare.
A virgin -mOtheT-queen's in state,
Her ermine robe her hair
The stable dim a palace is;
Its moss-rimmed trough are chalices;
There lips WheteOn no. malice Is
Drink to the royal heir.
