REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Marriage Is n lottery for n man; for a
woman 1t is betting on q dead sure thing.
All women have habit of loving just
the way all men have q habit of critcising
the government.
1t takes u good deal more money to keep
up appearances than it does to get where
you don't have to keep them up.
You can never make one woman believe
another is her friend unless she confided
to her her suspicious about her husband.
The one objectionable sin of husband
Is to come home and find his wife with 81
new gown on and not notice it with ad
mration.
It's luck when you lose: judgment when
you win.
The pleasures that arc sweetest to the
taste are those we have never tasted.
"A mans first child makes him feel ten
years younger his fifth adds three genera
lions to his age.
Tho man who can always tell his wife
right off the reel how he knows he loves
her is the highest development of sheer
genius.

from the club he is sure he is going to buy
his wife pearl necklace the next morning

Make OF Religion m UMBRELLA.

When the bishop of Colorado, DR..
Sanford Olmsted, was rector of the
Church of ST. Asaph, at Bala, Pa, his
ready wit made him at once the ad
miration and the fear Of the people of
the neighborhood.
There is n fashionable golf and rid
ing club at Rala, with grounds that adj
join those of the little church, and it
happened on n certain afternoon. when
DIR. Olmstcd was holding a special serv-
ice. that number of solting clubmen
were caught in n drenching shower and
hurried for shelter into the church.
They entered with a great clatter of
their golf sticks and with much sup
pressed chuckling and hard breathing.
Their noise and their gay sporting at
tire made 4 jarrlng note on the sim
plicity of the service. But DR.. Olmstcd
paid no heed to them till the end of his
sermon. Then he said with a smile:
1--WE have heard Of people who make
a cloak of religion. Now we know that
there are others who make Of religion
an umbrella"

Not only did Washington have to
contend with his jealous army officers,
but he had to fight his enemies, who
were working against his plans in con-
gress. Instead OF giving to him an
army recruited from men who had en-
listed for two or three years, or for the
war, these enemies voted 10 him an
army made up Of men who had enlisted
for few months or year. No sooner
would Washington plan battle or n
campaign than he would find that
large part Of his soldiers discovered
that their terms Of service had explral

Mr. Eaensch's Platform.

Judge Baensch entertains views on
questions o. current interest to which
few can take exception. He is re-
ported by journal published in his
home city of Manitowoc as standing
for:
The principles of the primary elec-
ton law, but would prefer to see it
tried in the counties first.
For equal taxation of all classes OF
property.
For freight rate commission, yet
not a commission appointed by the
governor but elected by the people
An elective railway commission
ought to be satisfactory to every ele-
ment which has confidence in the in
telligence and integrity of the cleo
tors. If it is wise to choose other
state officers by the true democratic
method of the ballot assuredly it
must be in regard to a body whose
duties are CT the supreme Importance
Of those attaching to the adjustment
OF rates which annually involve an ex-
penditure by the people of this state
CT more than $30,00000O. Mr.. Baensch
is not peculiar in advocacy of equal
taxation. We are all for it, His al
legged declaration in behalf of a pre-
liminary application to counties of
the primary election principle is not
in accord with administration de.
sires, but against it's conservatism no
question whatever can be raised.
Mr.. Baensch is safe to go before
the people upon such a platform as
has been constructed for him. 1t is
general enough in character to invite
no specific opposition.
