many and England up to the time of
their present attack on Venezuela
Through their illiteracy and dense ie-
norance the Venezuelans have imbibed
the idea that the United States govern

South American countries.
Their hatred of citizens of the IJn,+ed

by all our people residing In Venezue-

what Women Admire In a Man.

What Women Admire In a Man.
There seems to be no limit to the
ugliness a man may possess without
In any way lessening the chances Of q
woman loving him. How often one
sees really beautiful woman mated
to an exceptionally ugly man, and vice
versa. A man may be crippled, hide
Gus, deformed, and yet find woman
who will gladly share his lot, and for
this reason women are often sneered
at by people who suppose them to be
SO anxious to marry that they are not
in the least fastidious as to whom they
take. .-~E =
Here they are completely at fault,
for love with "a woman is not half SO
often induced by good looks as by 9th
er qualities which compel her admira.
ton far more strongly. In the first
place the chief thing which women
admire in man Is strength, both
she admires most the quality of cour-
age, for a man who is afraid seems to
Il woman at once the most extraordi-
nary and miserable creature on the
face of the earth.
Another thing she greatly admires is
determination, and that is the reason
why persistence generally wins In the
end, though she will try 1t to its utmost
limit.
Sometimes she admires less striking
qualities In man; she will think that
certain bearishness toward other
people Is quality to be proud of, pro-
vided he Is always kind and tender to-
ward herself. She often imagines that
rough manners are a sign Of strength,
and therefore does not mind his speak |
ing to other people in a rude, bullying
fashion.
Masterfulness Is a characteristic that |
excites her deep, though perhaps Sc
cret, admiration, and she despises in |
her heart of hearts the husband who |
invariably allows her to get the upper
hand. No henpecked husband was
ever looked upon except with contempt |
by his wife, and it is a certain thing
that If he had but the confidence to
resist her to her face she would, as a
rule. be only too delighted to take sec
ond place without O murmur.-New

The Brides Crucial Moment,

But in the ascending scale Of life
marriage Is not merely the romantic
mating Of two people; it is a spiritual
union, occult and difficult to define,
composed of two distinct intelligences,
neither of which can withdraw or dom
mate the other without injury to the
relationship.
And the lack Of observation-disclosures In
the wife when the honeymoon days
are over spOils as many marriages as
frallties In the husband do. Obliged
by the very nature Of things to dis
pense with her bridal ideals, the ques-
ton Is, what course she will pursue.
And everything depends upon her de-
cisiOn, for she will either adjust her.
self to the situation with the egotism
of martyr, seek consolation in her
children, religion or society, or she
will wisely accept the bargain she has
made for happiness with the deter
minatAon to realize upon 1t in spite Of
all newly discovered human limita-
lions.
And here begins her university
course In the philosophy of life; phil
osophy which not only recognizes the
disposition Of one particular man in its
variations from that Of mankind in
general, but disciplines her own to
match and mate it. And there Is the
rub.
The matching is pitti4g of force
against force, which comes easy to old
Adam nature; but the mating of mind
with mind, the finishing of his courage
with the spires of her hopes, the add
ing Of her charm to his power, is a
Divine alchemy of spirits which no
man can ish.-Independent.

Smiles and Their Meonirg


Some one has suggested that words
We're Invented for the purpose of con.
cealing thought but there are situa-
tons when words are unavailing and
1t Is necessary to have recourse to an
other method for concealing thought.
This Is where smiles are useful. Now,
there is nothing worthy of remark
about a smile when the natural result
of pleasant thought but the climax
Of art has been reached when one has
learned to smile under circumstances
when language-if true expression
of thought-would be decidedly ob1ec-
tionable.
Smiles have peculiar charm. They
can accomplish wonders in an argu-
ment, especially If the smiler possesses
rosy lips and pearly teeth. Smile
for the lady" is familiar nursery par
lance, and when Baby smiles it is
genuine, But, once beyond the years
of babyhood, one can never be per-
fectly certain of the true value of a
Smile.-Exchange.

why Women WORRY.

If woman is to protect herself from
the ravages of worry, and so retain her
youth for longer period, she must
come into more frequent contact with
other people-as her husband does
and read good books; she must relieve
the monOtOny of her duties and the
limiting influence of confinement with
In four walls by taking outdoor exer-
cises-a walk every day or a spin on
u bicycle; in short, she must exercise
the body and mind In a healthful man
ner, and she will find the bloom of
youth and health remain with her for
years after 1t has faded In other wom-
en- of the same age.
THE ordinary woman" says a cele-
hrated physician, "leads such a monot-
onous existence that her mind has no
occupation but worry. What she needs
Is to come out of herself much more
than she does. She must have inter-
course with more people and take more
exercise. This can be done without
neglecting the home, and every right
minded man will do his best to secure
FOR his mother, or his sister, or his
wife, these aids to the retention of
youthfulness Of body and mind"

Pagan Marriage Customs,

How little the fashionable bride in
the smart set to-day realizes that all
of the wedding customs of the present
are rooted in the pagan past. The
barbaric bridegroom procured his mate
by one Of two methods~capture or pur-
chase. We speak even now of "captur-
ing" a bride, and purchase" Is not
wholly unknown. In the former the
groom started upon the warpath with
some chosen companion, who assisted
him in selling the woman; whence
cometh the custom of having a best
man."
The dainty gold ring Of to-day is q
relic of the fetter by which the bride
was bound, while the jocose slipper is
q remnant Of the missiles hurled by the
angry parents.
The orange blossoms came in a more
civilized age, though not Christian. The
veil, as still in modern Oriental coun-
tries, typifies exclusive possession by
one man.

Arditi's Wiu.

Signor Arditi was from quite a
young man extraordinarily bald, his
hair, which fell out during an at
tack of typhoid, never having grown
again. It was the dream of his life
to wear a wig, he used to say, and
once he did get as far as donning
one, but when Nine. Albani saw it
in the artists room she burst into a
shout Of laughter and tore it from
his head, declaring that she could
not sing with such thing in front
of her. After that he never ap.
peared in it in public again, but in
the privacy of his own room he
sometimes put it on and wondered
sadly why he was not allowed to
wear it.-Exchange.

Among other evidences OF
the rapidity with which the
northern countries of Mime
sofa are now filling up is the
fact that out of thirty-eight new
postoffces established in this
state between Dec. 1, 1902, and
June 1, 1908, as shown by the
current number of the United
States Postal Guide, all but
five are in those counties. The
same publication shows the dis
continuance of seventy-four
class postoffices in Minnesota,
in the same period, most of
them in the older regions of the
state. The service of fifty-five
of these was replaced by that
far better article, rural free de-

The postoffice department has
sent out a new ruling regard
ing the placing of letters in four

has become so common that
the department has found it nee
essary to adopt stringent meas
ure to check it. Postmasters
have been instructed to exam
inc packages, which they sus-
pect contain writing and report
same to proper authorities.

cheating Uncle Sam by sending
first class matter at fourth class
rates may be surprised some
fine day to be arrested by post
office inspector and made to
answer to the charge of fraud in

writing you had better tell the

him rate it properly and thus
