REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

Every woman is a 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 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 a man hears he
acts like 1t was old to him and every
woman like 1t was new to her, and
both are making believe.
When q man can make 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 woman and
a cat is that when you tease the cat
YOU know she'll scratch you, but when
it's a woman you never know whether
she'll kiss you or tear your eyes out

believer in the transmission of the vir-

children and in order to remove the
offspring of the vicious from contain
mating influences she established this
fund. The first child to receive the
benefits of this fund was sent to
home in New Jersey last week. She
and her mother had lived for weeks on
crackers and water and the mother
gladly gave up her child upon assur-
ance that she would be well cared for.
The mother is related to good family,
but her marriage was distasteful to her
parents and she was disowned. She
Is now in the last stages of consump-
ton and will be cared for until the
end comes, which cannot be long de-
layed The Sophia Brauenlich fund
has been increased by other donations
and will soon be of such dimensions as
to enable the society having Its con-
troll to care for nearly hundred
friendless little ones. For each girl
sent out there is a fund put away at
interest until she is IS years old. so
that in case anything should happen
to her foster parents she will be pro-
vided for. There now is in Hasbrouck
Heights a home waiting for little

Meantime the fund is paying for tfe

The Park Grab.

John S. Cooper, of Chicago, project
or Of the proposed national park in
our neighboring counties, is already
in Washington lobbying the pet
scheme whereby Col. Cooper and sew
eral others of his kind wish to estab-
lish mammoth hunting reserve at
the expense of the settlers of the state
of Minnesota. The Cass Lake Times
a paper within the confines of the
proposed park, is not in accord with
the scheme and says 50 in the follow
ing:
1--WE do not credit the assertion of
the shreWd promoter that the scheme
will be supported by every member Of
the state delegation. 1t does not
seem probable or even possible that
our senators or representatives will
so far forget their duties to the inter-
ests of the great commonwealth
whose interests and rights 4hey are
presumed to represent and protect as
to advocate and foist upon the people
such an imposition upon their rights,
for the sole purpose of providing a
great national play ground for the in
dependent hunter and pleasure seeker
of the nation. The people of our state
do not favor such disposition of the
public domain, and if it is true, as
Col. Cooper declares, that all Of our
representatives in Congress favor it,,
we dare predict-that when they again
face the voter for his support they
will be confronted with more pertin-
ent inquiries for their reasons for de-
sorting the interests of their constit-
uents than they will be able to answer
1t is needless to assert that the lands
sought to be included in the reserve
are useless for agriculture. The
people know better; know that many
thousands of acres of arabic lands will
be taken, and that the young men of
the state stand ready to settle upon
them. A great national park in the
center of the northern portion of the
state, instead of being a benefit to the
state or the inhabitants, would be a
source of the greatest annoyance, and
the clashing of authorities will be the
inevitable result. The Times has re-
peatedly asserted that the state can
not afford TO relinquish its sovereign
ty over such an area and surrender
the revenues arising therefrom, and
we now assert that the executive OF
the state would ne criminally neglig-
ent of the public interest if he fails to
use all the power reposed in the office
he holds to defeat the unconsionable
scheme. The Times will oppose the
project and all who favor it, because
we believe it to be wrong and its es-
Establishment will deprive us of rights
and privileges which we should not be
required to gixe UP for any purposes
other than the most urgent public
necessities.
