REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Every woman is good actress till
she goes on the stage.
There is one thing a woman never
can understand, and that Is herself.
When the devil had his choice as to
Instruments he first picked jealousy.
II they were named anything else a
woman would have just as queer a look
in her face when she talked about her
legs.
II there weren't any bad men to be
horrible examples, probably there
wouldn't be any good women to be
shining examples.
Every racy story man hears he
acts like 1t was old to him and every
woman like it was new to her. and
both are making believe.
When a man can make a woman be-
lieve that he can't help thrilling at her
voice she feels she has to marry him
so that she can turn the current on
whenever she feels like it.
The difference between a woman and
cat is that when you tease the cat
you know she'll scratch you. but when
it's woman you never know whether
she'll kiss you or tear your eyes out

Among the leaders of the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr.. John c. Hubiuger, of Keo-
kuk, Ia. reigns without peer. As
a manufacturer. as an enterprising cap
,itaIist and us philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive.
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but AZ years of
nge, can look back upon scores of COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind. for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born In New Or
leans, La., his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky. in which state young Hubinger
received public school education. Al
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on a number OF val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
BY inclination and force Of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course Of
time he became the head of concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
ditions, works ever toward perfection,

The different features of the prepara-

people. Preparations for the celebra-

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad and
