In order to properly celebrate

ston to the Magazine club and
a few friends to spend the even
ing at the home Of Miss James,
and although it was an evening
especially designed for the
"spinsters;" a few !matrons
were there-as chaperones and
to lend dignity::to the occasion.
Cats and parrots were also
numerous for as one "spinster"
expressed herself, 1--WE must
have something to love-" Var
ious amusements were fur
nished and during the proverb-
lal cup OF tea, d box was re-
ceived from "The Bachelors, I"
and if they could have been
present to have heard the
screams of delight? which
greeted the opening of the box
and the sight of its contents
they would surely have felt
that their efforts to please were
appreciated. Later in the even
ling light refreshments were
served, the punch bowl being
presided over by Miss Hastings
in the Hastily decorated dining
room, after which tiny paper
cups were given to each guest,
containing their fortunes.
When all were ready to depart,

South Carolina is talking Of
sending a delegation Of politi-
clans to Des Moines to learn the
way to carry elections. No
election in the South, where we
are told that honesty in cleo
tons is unknown, ever excelled
in corruption the partisan work
at the republican primaries in
Des Moines yesterday. We re-
greet to see such disgraceful pro-
ceedings by any party. 1t low
ers the dignity of popular elecl
lions, lessons the power of tho
ballot, sets at defiance the voice
of majorities, and brings dis
grace upon the good name q
the entire State. The electios
to Congress of no man is d
sufficient importanc to JUSTIFY
resort to fraud to secure h
nomination or election, and
who resort to such means, VI
in the end, regret their act. -

A woman who has had a very unhap-
by married life gives this advice to
Eoung women:
Don't marry a, man to reform. 1t
can't be done unless he is under TWEEN
ty-two.
The oma who permits her heart
to rule her head makes a sad mistake.
If a girl loves a man, no matter how
~dissipated or selfish he may be, she
blunges into matrimony with her eyes
closed.
No woman should ever depend en-
tirely on her husband for happiness.
1t is folly and leads always to heart
ache. A married woman should have
a life apart from her husband.
Let her keep sweet and true and loy-
able, but beyond a certain point she
should not venture, lest she lose her
individuality in her husbands, with
the result that he will impose upon her.
Beware of a man with an ungovern-
able temper, and almost all men are
endowed with this quality.
Shun the man who drinks to excess,
for it is a habit that leads to wretched-
ness.
Avoid also the mar who is selfish,
the man who considers always his own
interests before those of his wife.
All men are tickle, and it depends on
the wife's power to hold them.-Balti-
more Sun.

A Very Large Roach.

Stated to weigh three and a quarter
pounds and having a length of eight
cen and one-half inches, a roach which
was found in a dying condition in the
Thames, at NARROW, is now being pre-
served, says Goosequill, in the London
(Eng.) Leader. 1t is a record specimen
for the Thames. All anglers who have
seen it up to the present pronounce it
to be a true roach. The fish was re-
moved from the river with a landing
net. / wonder whether it was dying
from old age or overlooking? What a
wlopper! wonder how many anglers
floats it had pulled under in its day.

A Dog VIII, .cnnriet,on. ;,

At the disruption of 1913 the bulk of
the shepherds Joined the Free Kirk.
But n collie held by the Establish
ment principle and refused to "come
out" Every Sabbath he went alone
to the Established Church, where he
had been wont to accompany his mas
ter. His master refused to coerce him.
"Na, ma" he said; "he's a wise dowg;
I'll no NEEDLE WI his convictions" The
collie's adherence to the Establishment
had, however, a disastrous end. He was
accustomed to lie on the pulpit stair
during the sermon, no doubt better to
hear the discourse. Below him were
placed the long stovepipe hats of the
elders. On one unfortunate day he
fell asleep, rolled off his step and man
aged to get his head firmly fixed inside
one of the hats. Bitterly mortified,
the dog fed from the kirk, and ever
afterward, as his master said, chad

II believe said Senator Hoar, that
to-day is better than yesterday, and
that tomorrow will be better than to-
day."
Contenment and hopel With these
two, and no more, we can solve the
riddle of life.
.To-day is better than yesterday"
Believe it, and remorse fees; regret it
not; and memory becomes what it leg
Ultimately should be-a joy.
Yesterday is what we made of it
and there is no yesterday which should
be perfect in the light of to-day. Where
fore, be thankful that there is a to-day,
and that with it comes the opportunity
to build better, nobler and stronger up
on the mistakes of yesterday.-Maga-

Blue Boards Booth Anniversary.

The five hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Blue Beard took place on
October 80. Blue Beard" was a real
man, and the so-called fairy story is
true in all its essential details. Blue
Beard was Baron Giles de Rails, an
enormously rich Breton nobleman, who
fought with distinction under the ban
ner of Jeanne dare and was Marshal
of France at the age of twenty-five.
After the war he plunged into the
widest dissipation. His great fortune
was largely increased by the dover of
his first wife, Catharine de Thouars.
His favorite diversion was numbering
babies and dabbling in their blood.
The Church caused his arrest and trial.
He was condemned and was hanged
at Nantes, but was converted in prison,
and his last words were to implore the
forgiveness of those whose families be
had decimated by murder.

Popularity of overraiters

The present season signifies closer
alliance between American and An
glican customs, if the spat habit serve
as criterion. Domestic manufacturers
are now working overtime in order to
supply the demand ON mems top gait
ers, which is more pronounced than at
any period in the history of the trade.
Vogue nowadays ordains that overgait-
ers be removed when worn with even
ing dress before the wearer presents
himself for social observation.
The average Londoner of dependable
sartorial fashion considers spats as in
dispensable as a walking stick. Dur
ing the past several years overgaiters
have been conspicuous by their alb
sence in New York, but this style has
again developed a~scendend proportions.
