REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

All is not blonde that bleaches.
To women a pain endured for love is pleas
ure.
Widows know enough not to know too
much
A man buys clothes to wear; woman to
look at.
In computing a woman's age plus 2
makes 1.
More men are nagged into deviltry than are
tempted into mischief.
Sometimes bright young men grow up to be
almost useful citizens.
Up to fifteen a boy has only two ambitions
to smoke and to shave
II takes a woman to sanction a fashion that
makes a rain coat At and look like night
gown.
A man who rnarries for money may lack senti-
ment, but he has large stock of good horse
sense.
When a girl has lots Of photographs taken
II is sign she is trying to get one that nat
ters her
A woman loves to hear her husband swear
when she can pretend she doesn't know what
he is doing.
The people who like to get up early in the
morning must have uncomfortable beds OF dis
agreeable bedfelows
So queer is the sentiment of women that
though IL brings them the misery of their life
they will hold their wedding day in sacred
reverence.

Europe and the United States for the re-
lief OF their suffering fellow countrymen.
The announcement that Generals Botha
and Delarey, the two members of this
famous trio who had made their plans to
visit this country. have abandoned that
intention, Indicates that they are dis
couraged by the results Of their efforts.
The public has been kept pretty we'll in
formed as to their progress. 1t is said
that they have raised so far $4,000 in
Germany, less in France and still less in
Belgium. They expected far more from
these countries than they have received.
and Il is probable that they feared like
disappointment I'm the United States.
Some Of the British newspaper nave
advised the Boer generals TO make an APP
peal to their late foes, but they have de-
cllned to do so because It would be hui
initiating.
We believe that Generals Botha and
Delarey have made a mistake in abandon
ing their contemplated visit to the United
States.
The sympathies of an overwhelming
majority of our people were with the
Beers throughout their struggle for inde'
pendence and we do not doubt that much
more money would have been given to
the Boer relief fund in this country than
has been subscribed in Germany, France
or Belgium.
In fact, one citizen of the United States,
Mr.. Henry Phlpps. OF Pittsburg, has al
ready given 100000 to this cause, which
is considerably more than has come from
the nation that leads in assisting it, But
it should be remembered that the failure
OF the Boer generals TO visit this country
need not prevent anybody from contribute
ing to the relief of the destitute Trans
-vaalers.

fortunately worthiness is not always winner
In the endless race for wealth men are too
