quent crime OF murder. Very rarely did
they levy tribute on the people Of Mis-
souri,. They were too cunning to put in
jeopardy their sole haven Of refuge. Once,
more from bravado than desire for the cash,
they robbed the treasurer OF the state fair
at Kansas City and rode away in daylight
with the cash. When a Kansas City editor
wrote a fulsome apology for them these
outlaws presented him with q handsome
gold watch, which he proudly wore until
the day of his death. Only a little more
than twenty years ago 1t was deemed by
railroad managers absolutely unsafe to run
passenger trains out of Kansas City after

Twenty years ago Charley Howard walked

nearly everybody knew he was Jesse
James with the blood Of the Rock Island
conductor, w~antonly murdered in the train
robbery at Winston, not yet dry on his
hands, but none lifted a hand to stay his
course or bring him to justice. 1t is not
necessary to defend or even debate Bob
Ford's action. What is wrong now is a per-
version of facts by a playwright for the
sole purpose of securing a few dollars from
the public. In the whole known career
Of the James brothers there is not one
noble deed recorded, not one act worthy
Of emulation, yet they are now being de-
picted on the stage as victims OF the very
gan Of which they we're members. Their
lives are shown as idyllic and their aspira-
tions ideal. It is against this that protest
is now made. In the realms of fiction
there is still plenty Of material for blood
and thunder romance, while the cold world
of fact contains enough names of real heroes
to supply honest stage writer's with attrac-
tions for ages to come. Let US hope that
this first will be the last attempt to i'm
mortalize two Of the most cruel criminals

ideal. He has grown critical Up to this
point his taste has been like a child's
taste in a bakery. Everything sweet
pleased. Now he looks at women with
different eye. He begins to discount
mere beauty, to wonder If charms that
attract him will stand the wear and

possible, and wants something that viii
IRE his fancy and satisfy his judgment
at the same time. 1t is a time OF alb
solute safety during which no man
ever gets married.
The sixth stage of love is a reaction
from this, and generally occurs when n
man is about IS. He has passed through
ali the preliminary stages of the tender
passion, and has abandoned the quest
for perfect wife. He Is deadly tired of
living IN a hotel. Club life has palled up
on him. Society has become a Nightmares
Perhaps little touch of rheumatism
or tWinge now and then or govt warns
MIN OF approaching age, and he begins
to think longingly of his own fireside
and domesticity, and almost any sedate
girl can have him for the asking. The
first hot flame Of love has burned itself
out in such mans heart, but there IS
a steady warmth from the embers that
can be relied on, and she is a lucky v-o-
man who is permitted to camp by II.
The last age of love Is the dotage. and
Is peculiar to wealthy old men, II gen.
orally aff1icts them late in life. and leads
them to marry debutantes and sixteen
year-old chorus girls. The outward and
visible signs of this stage OF love is tho
complete mental collapse of the man. IN
