The Editor Left Town.

1t is remarkable what a deal
of trouble the changing of one
letter causes sometimes. An
Iowa editor was much struck on
a handsome widow in his town,
and being on the look out for a
wife he called on the fair lady.
In the course of the evening she
showed him her house flowers,
and of course he went home and
wrote a nice piece about them.
In concluding his article the
editor said: I'VE doubt if as
pretty plants can be found in
any other home in town" In
setting the item the compositor
dropped the letter 80 out of
the word plants-welI the edi.
tor left town and advertised his

What One Woman Thinks.

BY helping others we help
ourselves.
There can be perfect love on.
ly where there is perfect con.
fidence.
There are things we can't do,
but they are fewer than most of
us seem to think.
AS long as women won't save
says Hetty Green, we are not
likely to have many women mil
lionaireS in this country.
There are one or two littla
graves hidden away in every
heart. where are buried dead
hopes and ideals once fondly
cherished.
Don't begin to relate all the
terrible things that happened
during the day to your husband
before he gets his hat and coat
off at night.
If babies were suddenly by Il
miracle to develop the power of
speech nine out of ten of them
would probably say, do, for
goodness sake, let me alone"
1t is either a very wise man
or very foolish one who under
takes to predict just what a
woman would do under any Civ
en- circumstances. From the

Reflections of a Bachelor

Now Barabbas had baby
that was just beginning to talk.
Every woman has a list of
women in her head that she is
going to even up with when her
husband becomes very rich.
The average woman's idea OF
comfort when she is miserable
is to have man put his arm
around her and say, There,
there!"
When a man sees a woman
with high heel shoes and a rainy
day skirt on he feels so asham.
ed that he can't look her in the
face. New York Press.

No Danger of Competition.

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
If Europe can not compete
with American goods in her
own market, after they have
paid the cost of transportation,
bow could she expect to pay the
cost of transportation OF her
own goods and compete with
those American goods in Am
eriCan markets, even if we re.
moved every cent of duty on

hipping Criminals.

Police Judge McAuley of
Kansas City has prepared and
will push an ordinance provid.
ing for punishment by the lash
of wife heaters and others
guilty of aggravated misde-
meanors that now call for no
more severe penalties than
small fines or brief workhouse
sentences. 1t is to be hoped
that the Judge will succeed in
getting the ordinance through,
for then it will be much easier
to get q bill through the leg
islature 10 that effect. Such a
law would be a greater deter.
rent than jail sentences and
then it would also do away
with the cause of otherwise
law abiding citizens becoming
law violators themselves. One
thing is sure, if the law cannot
or will not punish the wretches,
then the outraged citizens will.
