ADVICE FOR YOUNG WOMEN.
DON'T Accept Any Strange Mans story
About HimseIf, No Matter How
Attractive.

! With the practically unlimited free
dom nowadays accorded to young
women which, in the main, is no
doubt a good thing, acquaintanccs
are sometimes too unconventionally
made and alliances too quickly con-
tracted with men of whom there is
little or nothing really known. lie
gives n plausible account of himself
and tells a true-sounding story OF
his home and antecedents, and the
girl falls into the clutches of an un-
principled scamp. Too late she
learns her mistake which her sisters
may avoid if they will never form
friendships or marriages with men
whose records and parentage are not
absolutely known to them or their
friends. Don't accept any strange
mans story about himself, no matter
how attractive, prosperous, cultured
or pious he may appear. Investi-
gate before confiding. Smarter girls
than you have been fooled, admon-
ishes American Queen.
Again, # you have known your
lover from childhood, be in no haste
to wed him. You may both be high
ly respectable, even valuable, men,
bers of society, but you may be en-
tirely unsuited to each other. If
you are young, test your love and
his by at least a years engagement.
Your present ardor may cool off in
year or so and show you both that
you never ought to be anything more
to each other than pleasant ac.
quaintances. Love-if it is the real
thing-will keep, and it is far better
to break an engagement than to
sever the marriage tie.
Young men and girls alike are apt
to be reckless and headstrong in
their teens, and they should be
brought to understand that in a few
years their ideas will undergo con-
siderable change, their Judgment will
mature and many persons and SUD-
1ects that quite captivated them at
the age of 10 will have little inter
est for them as they approach 80.
The more frank, sincere and unas-
Stunning lovers are in each others
company the better the chances of
marital happiness, and there is no
doubt that there would be fewer un-
fortunate matches made if lovers
were but more open and less given
to deceiving each other Deceive
your fance in any way or withhold
from him knowledge which he is en-
titled to before joining himself to
you, and your sin will assuredly re-
bound upon you with terrible retri-
button. 1t never fails.
Extravaganza in both sexes is an
other very common cause of failure
In marriage. Few young people of
the present day are willing to begin
married life as their parents did
simply, frugally, industriously, and in
the honest hope of raising a good
family. They want grand estao-
lishment, fine clothes and servants
and an easy and entertaining exist
ence with as little responsibility as
possible. In word, they want to
indulge the most highly cultivated
selhshness. 1t is almost needless TO
say that this cannot possibly lead 10
happiness.

WAY TO COLLECT
RAILROAD TAXES

Denver, Nov. 10.-The Colorado
Court of Appeals handed down an opin-
ion in the case of d. Z. Dobbins, as
county treasurer of Boulder county,
against the Colorado & Southern Rail
way Company to the effect that county
treasurers may ask for receivers 1or
railways which do not pay their taxes,
1t was contended on the part of the
county treasurer that he had the right
to attach the rolling stock of the road
fer the non-payment CT taxes. This
contention was not sustained by Judge
Gunter in giving the opinioni OF the
court. The remedy OF the treasurer
is the asking for receiver for the
road
The case was commenced in 1898
when the road in question was in the
possession of the Union Pacific, Denver
& Calf Railway Company. Later ii
was transferred to the Colorado 4
Southern, which latter road owns it at
the present time In the trial court il
was held that the treasurer of the
county did not have q case against the
railway and for this reason the suit
was dismissed Dobbins, however
cluug to his contention and the case
was appealed.
Judge Gunter states in the opinion
that the road cannot be sold in part
although all of the county treasurers
through which the road passes could
ret together and sell all of the road
ii they saw fit. But the proper remedy
ii is claimed by the court. is TO apply
to court of equity for receiver.
The case is an important one in thai
ii will give the county treasurers the
right to go ahead and ask for receiver:
fur all roads which DO not pay theii
taxes.
