Bit OF Advice to Women.

Don't pick ont man for husband
simply because you love him. The most
important thing is whether he loves you.
A woman who loves her husband better
than he does her is n doormat ON which
he treads. If he loves her better than
she does him. he looks up to her as a
goddess and spends his life trying to win
her favor.
a too adoring wife borcs n man with
her affection. but no woman ever had
enough love given to her to satisfy her.
and the more affection the man A,rishes
upon her the stronger the claim he eStab-
fishes. After marriage q thousand

Supt. T. e. Orr, there are 5000 entries
torty-one states and territories are
represented. The valuation of all the
fowls will reach over 100000, and
prizes aggregating $4,000 are being
offered. The fact that the show ex.
ceeds that held at the London Crystal
palace in 1901 places 1t in the lead OF
all similar exhibitions. Chickens from
Maine to California that have won

Of the poultry world is gathered in
TIE barns.
The crowds thronged the poultry
barns all day yesterday. The long
sheds are divided In rows Of coops
while down these the visitors walked
back and forth all day long. The
women exceeded the men numerically
in attendance, and they studied the
fowls with great interest. Many OF
the women present during the after
noon were experts in the poultry bust

Some of the finest poultry from the

exhibited. The Vanderbilt poultry
