Men should never 1irt with the won
an who writes her love affairs in in
delible ink.
It is the man with an inexhaustible
supply Of profanity who objects to
women using slang.
II you want \ man to think you are
very clever. show unbounded apprecia-
ton of his achievements.
Many a man has asked some woman
to let him take care Of her IN order to
get her to take care of him.
Love should be called the ether OF
life; those under its influence seem
so insensible to outside joy or pain.
If some man would spend half an
hour thinking up a fresh set Of com
pliments his increased popularity
would bring ample reward.
The man who cannot be in the com
pany Of a woman for fifteen minutes
without quoting poetry should v
have a serious place in her life.
There are women who seem to con
slider a worshiper at their shrine as
important an adjunct to their public
appearance as their bodices or boots.
Some persons seem to think. their
u%nkindness is written upon a slate,
and that the moist sponge Of forgive
ness should ever be at hand to wipe It
out.
So few women realize the vital diff
ference between being part of a mans
happiness and merely a part Of HE
pleasures.-St. Louis Republic,

The hopes of the SIS young man are
dashed. for officers who get no more
than $3.50 a year are forbidden to even
consider matrimony.
Neither are the sons Of the rich
Americans without their matrimonial
troubles. continues a writer in the De
troit News-Tribune Every one of them
must own a city residence and a coun-
try home or seaside cottage which
interpreted often means a palace by
the sea-" A writer in Harper's Week.
" suggests that national legislation on
this subject might be beneficial, tho
details being classified something As
follows:
Bachelors who think the income Of
one is enough for two, $4,000.
Bachelors who know the young
women are in love with them. and who
themselves are willing to go without
clubs, cigars and Wallets, whatever they
may happen to have.
Bank cashiers whose fancees have
extravaganza tastes, $4,000 a year.
M%illionaires, 100000 a year and un-
limited credit.
With the aid of some Of these old
world ideas ~propounded by Wilhelm
H., salutary reforms may be instituted
here in the taking Of matrimonial obli-
cations.

then literally took possession Of the
country, built towns, laid out roads,
increased the commerce of the u
try, and especially increased the yield
of the mines by extensive workings.
They literally enslaved the natives,
compelling them to serve them in ev-
cry way. In 1916 the Spaniards made
Santa Fe the capital of their new do
minions, which they called New Mex
leo. But the Indians rebelled against
their new masters. especially because
of the toilsome labor in the mines, and
in 1880 they rose in numbers, massa-
cred nearly all of the %oppressors and
drove the remainder from the coun-
try as far south as Ell Paso del Norte.
After several attempts the Spaniards
regained possession of the country in
1893. Santa Fe was a Mexican city
until it was taken by the United
States under Gen. Kearney IN 1916. A
Confederate army from Texas captur-
ed the city March 10, 1862, but were
forced to evacuate it on April 8, fol-
lowing.

How Water Freezes.

1t used to puzzle all thinking peo-
pie why ponds and rivers do not freeze
beyond a certain depth. This depends
on a most curious fact, namely, that
water is at its heaviest when it
reaches forty degrees Fahrenheit, that
is, eight degrees above freezing point.
On a frosty night, as each top layer
Of water falls to forty degrees it
sinks to the bottom; therefore, the
whole pond has to drop to forty de-
grees before any of it al freeze.
At last it is all covered to this point,
and then ice begins to form. But ice
is a very bad conductor of heat.
Therefore, it shuts off the freezing air
from the big body of comparatively
warm water underneath. The thicker
it gets the more perfectly does it act
as a great coat, and that is why even
the Arctic ocean never freezes beyond
a few feet in thickness.

Some men to nov to a larger

These be the days when we live but
10 shiver and perspire.
In love while u weight may de-
crease our desires increase.
Admiration and iove sometimes in
toxicate like the headiest wines.
Cold looks to a sensitive soul are
like chilling blasts to a tender bios
som.
Really great people seldom look it,
they lack both time and inclination to
pose.
There is nothing progressive about
the weather; it does not improve,
neither does it deteriorate.
Occasionally it is well TO break a
good habit. Habits aid the weak, but
they also stultify the will and crush
the impulses.
We must indeed be hardened if we
dc not make an effort to live up to the
ideal that some dear loving heart has
formed Of us.

Into the office Of a fire insurance

owned a little house on the outskirts
Of the town.

Indignantly, Il told John there was

It was in New York City that the
heroine Of the other story found that
FIRE Insurance was not all she hoped
for. The policy on her house-a big
one. for It was a fine edince in the
best part Of the city-was brought to
her by her agent.
"You had better give me a check for
the premium now" said he.

AS TO TRUSTS.

a few reasons why a trust is like a
river:
1t looks on the level, but it isn't.
It is always next to the banks.
There are sometimes a great many
bluffs along the way.
Some are a dam Site worse than
others.
There is a lot Of water in some of
them.
Its r is strewn with wrecks.
1t flows through many communities
of interest.
1t is usually rather crooked.
1t floats bubbles nicely.
The big fish in it gobble up the
small fry.
It runs smoothest where the waters
are deepest.
It abounds with rocks"
Suckers are numerous.
1t takes an awful frost to stop it.
