REFLECTIONS OF a BACHELOR.

You can get the truth out OF woman
by ilattering her. but TO get it out OF
a man you have to get him scared.
Every woman. whose husband can
never pay his debts believes the world
viii realize some time what q great
man she married.
Lots of women so through lie think
ing that all the other people think they
are artistic simply because they keep
their hair mussed up.
The only difference between married
man and n man sitting in fresh paint
Is that the man sitting in the paint
generally doesn't know 1t.
Every woman imaglnes that some
thing about her is wonderful" Either
she has ''wonderful' hair or eyes, or
else she has wonderful talent for
something.-New York Press.

AS we have before pointed out the
Democratic party has always been in
favor OF expansion until II was absorb
cd by the Populists. In the Democratic
convention held at Charleston, S. c..
April 80, 1860. the following was adopt
ed as one of the planks in the party
platform: Resolved. Tha. the Demo-
cratic party is in favor OF the acquisi-
ton OF the island OF Cuba on such terms
as shall be honorable to ourselves end
Just to Spain" And II will be, noticed
that In the Cuban plank OF the Demo-
cratic plank OF the Democratic platform
OF 1860 the only parties mentioned as
concerned with the spread OF American
sovereignty over Cuba were the United
States and Spain. The Consent Of
thoze to be governed" was no, consider

Have we not Of old time seen them
thus in Lincoln, these remarkable
students who somehow fail to make
any deep impression in wider fields,
and who drift back to post and Guilt
vate standing with lower classmen
and passiOnately insist upon being
''great." Probably Mr.. Harrington
would not agree with my opinion Of
his hero. but he must admit that his
hero hungered after all these things
as boarding school girl does after
the chum who used to eat caramels
with her and curl her front hair and
sew bows on her slippers.
Well. "Harkless" worried through
some seven years Of this kind Of life,
and then a girl came to Plattville
whom he had known when she was a
child; in the days when he went
yachting with Mrs. "Van Skuyt" who
either wore Or carried roses hab-
itually-I am unable to discover
which-and when the band alwa.'s

brought back many pleasant men,
cries Of better days, and she was the
cousin of his college chum "Tom
Meredith" and she sang Schubert's
Sefenade and looked like a marquise.
and "Harkless' made enterprising
love to her just the first chance he
got. When the Marquise, whose
everyday name was "Helen," slightly
discouraged him, he rushed wildly.

think that is the way he did it, and
let the Whitecaps get him, Now the
Whitecaps had been after him for a
long time because Of the lofty moral
tone of the Carlow County Herald"
aud when they got him they left as
little Of him as possible. For days he
was missing and could not be located
and the good citizens of
Plattville did nothing but stand on
the street corners and wiring their
hands and weep for their beloved
young editor.-Country editors are so
beloved!
Finally HAIRLESS was found shot to
pieces in a hospital in a neighbOring
town. and in his delirium he sang COL

singing on the stairs aud was always
trying to steal the clapper from the

While the library site is still CO.
quoting with o. Eleventh, N and J
streets, it is well enough to remember
that there is only one thing to be con-
sidered and that is the greatest con-
yeuience of the greatest number of
people. Tie donor, Mr.. Carnegie, is
not giving this library for the pur-
pose Of increasing the value of con-
tiguous real estate.His intention is to
give books to the bookless and read
ing room to the homeless, to offer
students the free and continuous use
OF rich mans library to give to the
wretched, the aspiring and the hope
less place to read. And in the rich
mans list Of blessings if he be not
painfully limited, the chief of his
possessions is books and place to
read them in. Friends are exacting.
disappointing and easily mislaid.
They will not be put aside without
apology and the best Of earthly
friends are not responsive to the
moods which occasionally control
even the best disciplined tempera-
ment. But a book can be selected
for the occasion and the mood. A
man need not possess more than three
TO be supplied with the best comfort,
the highest beauty and the most pro-
found learning there is in the world.
And one of these may be spared and
still leave the man comfort, beauty,
knowledge and inspiration.
That Mr.. Carnegie has discovered
that money will not buy much for a
man, after all, is apparent by his Civ.
ing it away. That his experiments
In spending money have further
taught him that books bring the
largest returns and most lasting sat-
isfaction is also evident in his dona-
tions for the erection of libraries.

Sophomoriea1 Stories.
Miss Villa Gathers review of "The
Gentleman from Indiana" by Booth
Harrington ia this edition of The
Courier has given name and form to
the distasteful hero worship that
characterizes most Of the stories Of
college men. The three or four
Princeton men to whom the pages OF
the magazines and the valves of the
book publishers heart are mysterious
ly open, are prolific but rather tire
some writer's. Nothing is so tiresome
to outsiders as unsbared enthusiasm
vociferously and repeatedly expressed
and insisted upon. Undergraduates
are always under the influence Of
some enthusiasm or some emotion
unintelligible to the rest of the world
which has won a diploma of sang
froid and can walk the streets and
attend the theatre in company with
friends quite unObtrusively.
The football hero exploited by Mr..
Harrington, and the other two
Princeton meE 1 have in mind, whose
names are not yet Of quite Household
familiarity are popular writers just
because there are two or three hun
dred thousand undergraduates in this
country ready to bawl themselves
hOarse and the neighborhood deaf,
and who are always ready to perform
any sort of feudal hereditary service
for the few distinguished men in
their college who can kick or run or
throw a curved ball. The homage
offered and accepted is out of proper
ton to the merits and achievements
of the boy it is offered to. But this
does not signify. He is carried on
and ranks everybody in the
college world and undergraduates
know no other. For and to these
the college warns Of the
deeds, poses, favorite drinks, sIcred
oaths and costumes of a football Sala-
din are written. 1t is a large and
clientele, which if the pub
Usher can secure, means large profits.
The rest of the world which has got
beyond skittles and beer, but reads
