R<SJSyNHMJN She was a widow when
Kc$Sn%y18J she married Hamilton,
he a bachelor. She was
keeping boarders and laying up money,
Hamilton being one of her dodgers. He
had scarcely enough to pay his board
and was laying up not cent. He was
a good sort of man, however, and SO
soon as she was his wife and he had
her to plan for him and furnish capital
for him to do business on he became
successful. They were quite happy
and harmonious. She was ambitious
that they should be well to do in their
old age. So she generously told Ham
ilton he need not even pay her any
more board after they were married,
but should put his money into ''the
business" she supporting him and her
self and giving him more capital from
her lodging house enterprise. So it
went on II years. By that time Ham
ilton was worth $25,O0O all made from
capital his wife had earned and fur
nished to him. But he put it into his
own name, take notice, with that chlv-
alrous generosity characteristic Of the
masculine sex. Then, having finished
things, he lay down and died. He left
no will, only a scrap of paper saying
he owed his wife II years board bill.
That was not worth a spring poem in
the court When Mrs. Hamilton went
! to claim her money, some relatives
whom she had never seen came and
took it from her, and the court decid-
ed it was theirs. Next time she mar
ries she will know what not to do.

vidual soul that we are born into this
world. If the individual character is
not developed in woman, she is no
better off than horse or COW. Con-
. slider carefully and earnestly what are
your own particular talents, your own
convictions of right and justice, and do
what you think best. If you are
wrong, you will suffer for it and learn
thereby. If you are right, you will
have grown and cultivated new flow
er for eternity. Do not take up fad
merely for the sake of posing or SEEM
ing different from others or of attract
ing attention to yourself, for that is
despicable But consider in all seri-
BUSINESS what you yourself would rath-
er do and be; then go and do and be it.

Women, don't live in your affections
and don't live in the past. There never
was a past so good that there was not
a still better future.

When a miserly old curmudgeOn who

up in safety, she deserves great credit,
does she not?

Fashionable ladies burn sandalwood

Is it worth while to live a century if
one does not know any more than that
at the end?
