be only the pleasant melancholy of ex.
treme youth that flourishes in the
splendid glow and inVigorating air of
October and November. Some Of the
reasons for this change are Prosaie
enough. One is doubtless the gradual
disappearance Of the physical dread of
winter brought about by the invasion
of farm house and apartment house
by the useful furnace. When the farm
er's family slept in rooms In which
water froze and into which snow drift
ed under the shingles, to lie In tiny
drifts along the floor, they might be
pardoned for a little shrinking at the
approach of cold weather. The sum-
mer vacation has done its share in
gloom of barren fields and leafless
trees was deepened by tired nerves and
reluctant digestion. Now, when al
most every worker has short breath
ing space, the fall comes as the be-
ginning of a season of healthful IL
strenuous work, not as the end of one
weary struggle and the beginning Of
another still more weary. But the
change of mood In regard to autumn
has still deeper source. Knowledge
and science have given us confidence
in the permanence and benefcence Of
natures laws. The savage feared the
eclipse which we now study with de-
lighted eagerness. The pioneer dread
ed the winter Of an untried climate.
The dangers Of drought, of food, Of
famine and Of tempest have all been
mitigated or conquered by the advance
of civilization. So the farmer and the
poet alike may exchange "the melan-
choly days" Of Bryant for "the happy
autumn fields" of Tennyson, and may
have faith with Browning that ''spring
shall plant and autumn garner to the
end Of time"

Melinda Want.

One Of the old Governors of the Car
Olinas was man who had lived a
farmers life most Of the time until he
was elected; and his wife having never
seen a steamboat or a railroad and
having no wish to test either one, re-
fused to accompany her husband t.
the capital.
When the Governor reached his des
tination he found that almost all the
other officials were accompanied BY
their wives, and he sent an imperative
message to his brother to fetch Me
linda along"
The brother telegraphed, "She'f
afraid even to look at the engine"
The Governor read the message anG
pondered over it for few moments
At the end of that time he sent off the
following command:
"Bill, you blindfold Melinda, ant
back her on to the train"
Melinda" arrived at the capita
with the victorious "Bllp' twenty -foul

I have learned from close study Of
some few hundred married couples.
IT, then, you want to inspire a
fierce, overwhelming passion in your
lover, you will have better chance
IL you are his physical opposite. But
II you wish to inspire deep and lasting
friendship, you will have a better
chance by being his physical counter
part.
Looking round the women l know
who are, first and foremost. their hus
bands chums, am amazed to find the
majority are dark and have dark hus
bands.
In the rare cases l know of, where
a fair man and fair woman are the
best comrades, l have invariably
found that their pursuits are entirely
different.
The fair man and woman are Saxon
to the core, and love fields animals
mud, long walks, and the pleasures of
nature, while the dark couple crave
excitement and are mentally more
acute.
The conclusion Of the matter seems
to be that man must choose his wife
according to what position he wishes
her to fill In his life. If he wants
something to worship, something to
delight his eyes, something to pro-
vide relaxation when the days work
Is done, he should choose a golden
haired maiden. If he wants passion
ate devotion and poetic fervor he
should select girl with raven hair
and dark-brown eyes, but he must run
the risk Of vehement temper and a
Jealous disposition. If he Is a farmer
or a quiet business man he should
marry his physical opposite, because
the contrast Is more piquant. But If
he is a man dependent upon his brain
for a living, his first need is SYM
pathy, and this will be found in the
woman who Is Of the same colorinp
and similar temperament.

The great advantage Of this seems
that, roughly speaking, fair people
take life more easily than dark ones

Just In the same way the golden

There Is an increasing tendency Of
the public to challenge the wisdom Of
maintaining high schools at public ex-
pense. While the discussion of the
status and purpose Of the high school
will take wide range, the question
that is Of greatest popular and peda-
gogic interest 1s stated as follows:
SHOULD the public high school be look
ed on primarily as a school to prepare
young men and women for the college
and university? Or should it be viewed
as an Independent school with its own
important ends and aims, to which
preparation for higher schools must be
strictly secondary" In discussing this
question it should not be forgotten that
the high school and the State univer-
sity are integral parts Of the "com-
mon school system" Of the State. The
existence of the State university as Il
part of the States system of public
education implies the existence of q
connecting link between the grammar
or intermediate grades and the State
university. To leave out any Of the
rounds in the States educational lad
der would be illogical and unwise. 1t
Is plainly obvious therefore that prep
aration for the State university should
be at least an incidental consideration
In arranging the curricula Of the high
schools. There is little doubt, how
ever, that the preponderance Of opin-
ion among the more progressive edu-
Gators favors the idea of making the
high school "the peoples college in
stead Of a preparatory school for the
higher institutions of learning; that its
chief aim should be to provide a more
practical training in language and the
sciences for pupils who are unable to
attend colleges Or universities. 1t is
their belief that it should supply the
finishing touches" to common school
education, and that preparation for a
university should be only a secondary
consideration. To the mind Of the lay
man there does not seem to be any
reason why the high school should not
serve both these purposes. There Is
nothing incompatible between the idea
Of a peoples college" and the shap-
ing Of curriculum in such a way as
to prepare pupils for university. The
preparatory course should be separate
and distinct from the course that is de-
signed to finish boys education and
prepare him to grapple Immediately
with the problems Of life. Such COM
bination Of purpose would seem to
constitute the ideal twentieth century
high school.

but only some one somewhere knows

Every one talks about their love for

And so they are, because they I'M

names Of the three assassinated Pres

Such a tablet, they felt. would seem

not because Of deeds or qualities, but
because of the method of their death.
