The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1902-08-15

In this connection I may say that the favorite
Republican Misrepresentation is the assertion
that the Democratic party has used 'forty-four
millions OF money 10 reduce the public debt from
twenty-one millions to five millions, and that at
this rate fourteen millions will yet be required
to extnguish the debt The transparency OF
this fasehood is so obvious that It hardly re-
quires answer. These Republican partisan pa
pers deliberately ignore the interest the bonds
and other expenses paid in connection with the
public debt, which, as I have just shown,
ceeds the principal of the debt. Their mendacity
and hypocrisy. however. are conclusively illus
trated in the following exhibit of the reduction
OF the national debt:
The bonded debt of the national Government
on the LIST Of July 1870. was 81 04s t55 ~ So On
the 1st of July of the present year 1t had been
reduced to ss3I, o7O. $40. During the thirty.two

Government collected and paid on this debt S3,

THE CHARMING SMALL GIRL.

Why Is II that short girls always-or
very nearly always-get married, while
their taller sisters seem to have consd-
cradle difficulty in finding sweethearts?
Think over the circle Of your friends
and see If this Is not true You will find
that apart from the ever present excep-
lions which prove the rule, the state
ment that short girls always marry is a
true one, though startling
There must be something specially
attractive about short girls. Perhaps
their weeness appeals to the instinct of
protection In the masculine mind.
When q man meets girl who Is tall or
taller than himself he feels that she
needs no attention or help, whereas
should his companion be small and
babyish he looks after her with all the
instructive pity Of the strong for the
weak, And pity as everybody knows,
Is closely akin to love.
Thus the Kind hearted man Is more
prone to select as his sweetheart q
short girl than tall one. Whether his
selection is really best time alone viii

AZ any rate he thinks she is the one
girl in the world for him, and that's the
main thing

THE HANDSOME MAN
VERSUS THE PLAIN MAN.

All women are proyerbially beauty
lovers and It is always the handsome
man who commands their first youthful
love. But are the handsome men the
most interesting? No, most decidedly
not.
They are apt to regard their personal
appearance too highly whereas the
plain man knows that he cannot win
the girls favor by his appearance, but
by his manner
Therefore he studies how TO be Inter-
esting. The consequence Is that, al
though the handsome man may attract
at first, the plain man Will win In the
long run by the very force Of his supe-
rlor intellect and fascination,
Gazing into the most beautiful eyes
grows insipid when the owner hasn't
two ideas TO exchange while one for
gets mans lack OF beauty In the
charm Of his cultivated mind,
OF course II handsome man has
brains and talent also he can carry all
before him, but the combination rarely
goes tOgetnet
OF course every girl considers the
man Of her choice to be handsome
whether he really is so or not Love Is
proyerbially blind. Thus perhaps our
engaged girl readers win disagree with
the statement that handsome men Of
ten make very poor sweethearts.
The man who knows he is handsome
Is as bad az the girl who knows she IL
pretty,
The good looking man who never
spends a moments thought on his good
looks he is the ideal lover But he il
very scarce In these days when male
foppishness ana Irritation are held to be
two Of life's fine arts
Beware OF handsome mem They are
apt TO be dangerously clever at love.
