Reflections of a Bachelor.

The ideal husband is tie man
who hasn't got married yet,
Marrying a drunkard to re.
form him is like frying fish to
make beefsteak out of it.
When a woman is dead sure
that she has a man she is never
dead sure that she wants him.
A woman is never so much
afraid she may lose mans love
as she is that some other WON.
an may gain it.
The wives rule the husbands.
the children rule the wives, and
the devil rules the children.
Women may want to MARI

not the kind they want to make
love 10 them.

All the gravel road people in
the county seem to be located
in his township and over the
line in Indian Creek. Right
now they are working on three
separate systems. The work is
done by contract and full value
is received for every dollar eX

the donations of the merchan is

county's share of the license

a year. MIR. Umstattd is con.
WINGED that making a rock bed
for gravel roads is a useless
expense. Down his way they
simply grade the road nicely
and then cover it with seven to
ten inches of grave. TEis, he
claims, makes just as durable a
road and enables the contract
