THE BACHELOR GIRL.

The other day there was most
amusing discussion, the point of debate
being the never worn out subject of old
maids. Now, as everybody knows, the
old maid of former days, that unat-
tached individual whom younger sisters
placed upon the shelf before her time.
has almost entirely disappeared from
the face of creation. The bachelor girl
has taken her place, that product OF
the age who frankly refuses to marry
until she can marry after her own heart
and gain some advantage in the proc
ess. And she is all the better worth
winning in that she values her indie
pendence so highly, not the less. as
some would have it, but all the more
loyable and companionable because OF
her broader views and wider scope OF
work. A pessimist who took promi-
nent part in the discussion, which.
needless to say, was heated one. both
sexes being represented. was heard to
say that the marriage rate is rapidly
decreasing, that proposals are fewer,
and, no wonder, as men nave every rea-
son to be shy of n1atrimony. But an
optimist in the shape of well known
Journalist stoutly defended her sex by
stating that, on the contrary, proposals
are far more numerous, but that ac-
ceptances are fewer by reason of wom-
ems exigence. No conclusion had been
arrived at when the meeting broke up.

AS you viewed her face you read chat

Now, those were both nice girls.
They simply had not knowledge enough
to keep to themselves the fact that
they would like men to admire them.
That is natural feeling and one not
at all to be condemned. But If the girls
had been wiser they would have known
they could gain the very end they
sought more effectively by a graceful,

which is still III it's food began 20 draw

study mysticism and the power Of

that perhaps majority of the women
who do things are students of the oc-

LET US BE HAPPY
IN THE LIFE OF TODAY.

One of the strangest experiences OF
life, yet one which comes to every hui
man being, is that our anticipations are
never realized. You are looking for
ward to something; that is anticipa-
ton. Then something happens; that Is
realization. But how many of us can
say that the reality is or was exactly
like the picture conjured up by our inn
agination?
The person who Is working hard for
money usually builds glorious castles in
the air. He will be able to do ever SO
much when he has carried out his plan.
Then, it may be, there comes day
when he can say that he has succeeded
and he possesses the amount for which1
he ha,, longed and worked. but by that
time he finds that an obstacle has
arisen and that money does not bring
him what he had intended it should.
Is 1t not common experience to an
ticipate a holiday, day that Will be
better than any other day of our exist
ence, and when that glorious day tss
past v1e are indeed fortunate II we can
look back and truthfully say that II
came up to our expectation?
So II: is with troubles. They are rarely
as bad as we have feared. One of the
truest sayings ever uttered was that OF
Franklin, who warned US that we are
constantly wearing ourselves away by
worrying over troubles which never
come. There are numbers Of people who
spend large proportion of their lives
in dreading that this will happen or
that the trouble which undoubtedly
looms in the distance will be much
greater than it promises to be. These
people are meeting their troubles half
way. They are actually seeking un-
happir ess. They should comfort them
selves with the reflection that troubles.
like pleasures, usually prove less In
tense than we imagined they would.
Moreover it must be borne in mind
that when distress comes upon us It
generally comes in doses, and by taking
each portion as it comes along we get
over the total more easily than antici-
pated. In our imagination of what Is
coming we always overlook that fact.
Cultivate an equable disposition and
do not permit yourself to go to ex-
tremes in either direction. The person
who gets through life with the greatest
amount OF real happiness goes steadily
on and is not overanxious about the
morrow either as regards it's pleasures
or it's worries.
Try to live as much as possible in the
present. You will find that your pleas
ures are greater and your troubles
smaller when you do not anticipate
them, and you will be saved much wear
and tear Of mind and body.

SAD INEBRlACY CASE
Victor S. Blair, Aided In Every Way
BY His Relatives, Is Total Wreck
Curses Wife In Court Room.

Des Moines, Sept. 10.-To buy drink
with which to satisfy his craving appe-
tite, Victor S. Blair sold from his body
all the clothes he dared and then when
these were gone rifled his wife's sewing
basket for shears and trinkets to pawn.
These gone, he resorted to package of
trading stamps from the grocery store
and disposed Of them.
Yet craving for drink he went to the
home Of his frail little wife and abused
her because she would not give him
means whereby to further infiame his
mind. His own mother was forced to
call the police and he was taken away.
Hatless and coatless the young man
appeared in the district court this
morning before Judge William III. Nc
Henry, to answer to charge of In
ebriacy. He Is q man of 200 pounds,
and the little woman who Is his wife
can scarcely weigh 100. Her love and
devotion to the man was exemplified
when she pleaded with the court to re-
buke her husband and give him one
more trial. She said she was willing
to let him try again, tho he had failed
many times.
Then Victor S. Blair turned upon his
wife and in abusive language reminded
her that had she remained quiet he
would not have been in the court room
this morning. With brutal disposi-
ton he rated her soundly and heaped
all his faults upon her frail shoulders.
He was only quoted by his grandfath-
err, S. J. Longhran, receiver at the gov
eminent land office. Thru years this
grand old grandfather has done all that
money and kindness could to reform the
boy and make him live Alright. He has
furnished him positions. only to see
them lost because of drink. He has for
given and tried the youth again. He
signed the information to bring the boy
before the court and appeared this
morning crestfallen at the futility Of his
generous efforts.
Judge William III. McHenry sat in
silence and heard the peas. He heard
the evidence against the man and shud-
dered at the cruel words spoken by the
accused inebriate to the weeping wo-
man before him.
Then he turned to the grief bowed
wife and spoke:
II know too we'll, madam, the cher
ished feeling you hold for this man. /
know you are willing to forgive him
and take him again to your home, but
in the face of the brutal words he has
spoken in this court room this morning
would feel I was committing an injury
to you to give him his liberty. He
would but go to your home and beat
you. Robbed Of his reason by drink he
is brutal. I shall commit him to the
hospital for inebriates for one year."

death. AS he raped at the door Mrs.
Calder appeared at a window with

next funeral you bring 10y here I'll do

of q knife across her throat as tho she
would kill herself The crowd shud-
dered and young Calder ran back to his
place.
While the crowd was constantly in
creasing two detective sergnants went
to a rear door and tried to get In. Mrs.
Calder appeared at a rear window with
the butcher knife and threatened to
kill herself il they did not go away.
Fearing that she would commit suicide
the officers desisted
"TJnless Charles comes buck to me
tonight, I will kill myself" she shout
ell out of the window.
She had barred all the lower windows
and placed heavy furniture against
the doors, so that ingress vas impos-
sible unless the police chose 70 break In

WHAT GIRLS FACES

TO you like to watch girls faces
Who does not? They are the
most expressive of human coun-
tenances, for girls generally have not

From sixteen to twenty is the age when
a young lady's counlenance reflects ev-
cry thought of her mind.

who was always sweet and yielding
and gentle; so she took upon herself

negative, puttylike young woman who
sticks where she is plunked down and
beams on all with a set, sickish smile.
We may call this girl Miss Bread and
Butter. A youth whom the girls knew

which will be extremely exasperating

Roosevelt's Acceptance Is q
Clear Cut and Consistent
Political Document
THE: DEMOCRATS ARE HARD HIT
Are Declared to be Dishonest In Their
alrnprovised Convictions" Or Danger
Gus to the Country Some of the
Notable Paragraphs in His Letter
Defends His Policies.

OYSTER Bay, N. Y, Sept. 12.-Theo-
dore Roosevelts formal letter accepting
the republican nomination for presi-
dent, issued to the country today, can
be regarded as the real opening gun OF
the campaign. The document includes
an exhaustive discussion of every pos
sible issue in the campaign, IN addit-
ion to a comprehensive review of the
ACCOMPLISHMENTS of the republican par
ty, especially during the last eight
years.
1t .ays particular stress on the alb
sence Of any specific principles advoca-
ted by the democracy which are not
adapi.ations merely of the republican
platform. 1t points out the folly OF
intru sting the administration of the
government to a party whose mem
bers are radically at variance on vital
issues. and which. when pressed bv
the necessity of formulating a party
doctrine, resorts to improvised con-
victicns in which no one can have con-
fidenee.
The letter indirectly is intended TO
supply political pabulum Ior the party
turnout the campaign, and for a docu
ment so long is unusually direct ana
clear cut in it's treatment of the various
subjects considered.
Especial stress is laid by the presi-
dent on the subjects of the Philippines,
tariff. and finance He arraigns the
democrats for shifting three times in
their last convention attitude on the
Philippines, and declares that their
policy OF independence for the natives,
If carried out, would be an information
al crime In like manner he asserts
that abandonment of the protective
tariff system would bring national mis-
cry. On the financial issue he holds up
to ridicule the policy--or rather lack
of policy-of the opposition.
Following are some of the more not
able ,ltterances in the document which
Is very lengthy and exhaustive:
