HANDICAP FOR
 LEAP YEAR GIRLS
pAcurroRA NEED PROTECTION
 OF OFFICERS OF THE LAW.
Proposed Ordinance to HeS'f"n Widows Matrimonially
 Inclined.

Little York Gr) Ensign.
 In view of the present unprotected con dition of marriageable males, both young and old, due to the prevalence of the leap year germ among the feminine popula- tion. 1t behooves all men to take firm ac- ton, else a terrible epidemic of proposals will be the inevitable result. We view with alarm and apprehension reports which come from all around us of the determined and unmercifui attacks of fearless and interruptions females upon unattended and unprotected bachelors. There being no State law to afford pro- lection in this time of need. 1t Is up to each municipality to enact such crdl- nances as will at least give protection in the towns and make them asylums for hunted and exhausted bachelors. where they may take refuge as last resort.
 We suggest therefore that such an ordi- nance be passed by Little York and neighboring towns and that the same shali be called "An ordinance for the preservation of Bachelors We would further submit the following text which
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-03-20

we believe would afford ample protection to the most timid'
 Section 1. That 1t shall be unlawful for any unmarried female of any age. siSe. weight, color or previous condition or servitude to hunt chase, follow or pur- sue any marriageable male within the corporate limits of said municipality.
 Sec. g. It shall be a grave misdemean- or for any single woman, whether short' stout. tall, wiilowy or corpulent, to en- flee ensnare, entFap or inveigle any bachelor widower or other marriageabie male whatever outside the town limits between the hours of ?. m. and a. m. Any infringement of same rendering Vio- lator liable to criminal prosecution.
 Sec. 8. It shalt be unlawful for any un- married females to gather. assemble meet, walk. ride or lolter in any numbers in the streets. alleys. houses or public buildings In said town from now until December S1, 190a.
 Sec. 4. Any girl with peroxide pom padour or a new straight front figure who by any of the seductions. wiles, devices. schemes or contrivances known only by her shall ask entreat. persuade or infiu- ence any bachelor to sit, lie, recline in or occupy any swing, hammock. bench UT seat between the hours of 7:30 D. m. and a. m. on such nights as there shall be no full moon shall be fined not less than $3.19 nor more than A.e9 for each and every offense
 Sec. g. Any members of the female sex who shall make Eoogoo eyes at any un- married male. unless he De accompanied by his mother or future mother-in-law as chaperone. shall be liable to fine or im- prisonment in the town bastile, or both.
 Sec. 6. Any drug store blonde or Cleo patra brunette who shall cast admiring,

languishing. adorlng or loving glances upon any bachelor whose heart is mort gagged, and who by the same shall rem der said mortgage null and void, shall be liable to both fine and banlshment.
 Sec. .. It shall be considered unlawful for any maiden, whether new or primev0Sf to propose, pop the question or ask the hand in marriage of any boy, youth. man. widower or grass wldower, unless the same shall have been accompanied by some married man. to see that no undue influences are brought to bear or intimi" dation used.
 Sec. 8. Any widow who shall insiduH ously, nefariously or fraudulently seek to evade, elude or escape any of the provis- ions of said ordinance shall be bound over to the grand jury without bail and any constable, marshal or village official is authorized and empowered to arrest her without warrant
 Sec. g. Any unmarried or unattached female who shall indulge in the hurtful. injurious, dangerous and pernicious prac" tiee known as flirting shall for the first offense be fined a sum equal to her total wardrobe and for each additional offense any reasonable amount deemed proper by the court within whose Jurisdiction the case may come, providing such judge is not a single man or widower, in which case a change of venue must be taken.

asst. but this old man lived in the fu-

past, but this old man lived in the fu- ture.
 He was a good forgetter.
 Many of us fail because we do not for. get. We remember our failures and they hamper us. We remember our victories and they make us vain. We remember our enemies and fritter away valuable time trying to get even with them. But
 The successful man forgets.
 He knows the past is irrevocable. He lets the dead past bury it's dead. He is in too much of hurry to attend tho funeral of his hopes. He Is running Q race He cannot afford to look behind. His eye is on the winning post.
 The magnapimous man forgets.
 He Is too big to let little things dis- turb him. He forglves quickly and for gets easily. If anyone does him wrong he considers the source" and keeps sweet It is only your small man who cherishes a low revenge. Or an Indian. The Indian never forgets and because he is forever wanting to pay somebody back he never gets on.
 Be a good forgetter.
 Bigness dictates it, and
 Success demands 1t.

To the Alabama Division, D. D. c.

To the Alabama Division, U. D. c. In Greensboro on- the 11th of May, the eighth annual convention of the Alabama Division will hold its annual meeting. It is my earnest desireetn have each Chapter In the Division report all dues and prom ised subscriptions paid. all membership blanks properlly filled and filed, and all nnemhers vigorous, zeaious and happy Tn the work. The flrst of each February IS the date fixed for both State and D: p. lC. dues-a delay in the payment of these re- tard both the Chapter and State Treas urer's enthusiasm. The Shiloh battiehe!d monument fund has been. growing. as the reports from the different Chapters will attest The order from the Tuscaloosa convention to have each Chapter give an entertainment some time during the year, when proceeds should be given for this fund, has been compiled with to large extent In my visits to the few Chapters and in my communication with others by letter. have urged the very great importance of the correct signing ana necessity of filing the membership blanks. In the convention at Charleston much stress was laid by the rules governing the eligibility of applicants for membership. and if we treat with indifference or dis regard the membership blank in theChap- ter organization, how shall we draw the line when questionable applicants seek admittance to our Chapters. We, as Daughters of Alabama U. D. C., must guard we'll our interests and place the seal of State secure in the. Chapters.
 Most encouraging letters from all over the State heartily endorse the proposed literary feature in connection with our State conventions. And I will ask for cooperation from each individual and Chapter U. D. C. in the literary work Any original poems, songs. essays and musical compositions relating to our work by any Alabamian. Is most earnestly de- sired. Any of these may be sent to Mrs. Alphonse Stollenwerck. Greensboro. Ald.' Chairman of the Literary Committee. ',.
