REFLECTIONS OF a BACHELOR

From the New York Press.J
A woman's best years are those she
forgets to count in confessing her age.
When a girl is ashamed to know a
thing she wouldn't be if nobody else
knew she knew it.
1t is almost as lucky for a girl to
wear a four-leaf clover in her shoe as
for man to see her put it there.
When a man doesn't dare look any
body in the face in a street car it is a
sign he is wearing a necktie his wife
picked out for him.
The fool tells a woman that she
seems beautiful to him because he loves
her; the smart man that he loves her
because she is beautiful

MISS MOTIONS RECITAL.
Washburn Chapel Is Crowded With
Her Friends.

The third diploma recital given by
the Washburn college school of fine
arts was rendered last evening by Miss
Florence Morton in the college chapel
Miss Morton's popularity was evil
denced by the crowded house, and the
mass of flowers which decorated the
stage. Miss Morton is one of Wash
burns most efficient musicians and
has given attention to piano as well as
to voice culture. Her voice was not
large but of a very sympathetic quail
ty. 1t is a most decided contralto,
showing the most painstaking train
ing on the part of Mrs. Grimsley. The
concert began on time Notwithstanding
that the electric lights refused to go
on for some time.
Miss Morton seemed rather nervous
in her first number but was soon mas
ter of the situation. The number most
appreciated by the audience was
Shadows by Bond.
Miss Troutman who assisted Miss
Morton gave her two numbers SPLEEN
didly and proved herself one of the
best pianists heard at Washburn this
year.
The following programme was given
by Miss Morton:

GOOD OLD BONANZA

In the good old bonanza days,
about which we hear 90 much. there
were few mines worked to q depth of
over 500 feet, the machinery equip

primitive. In isolated cases, money

In those times It required six months
to obtain q settlement for smelter

were SO high that only the very

could be treated at a profit.

Il can give the most formal assurances
that Bulgaria has more than ever re-

ton we have seen the powers elabor-
ate a plan for reforms in Macedonia.

anything that would cause the BELIEF
that she proposes to profit by the

unanimously expressed warm SYM
pathy for Russia
1T is unfortunate that Turkey per-

sides the annoying police measures
she has taken against our people, our
commerce suffers serious obstacles
