A Bachelor View of Love

BY James Edward Kelly, The sculp
tor,
1t is absurd to say that love il
avoidable. or that it can be directed
into any selected channel. Love
is matter of environments, OF
chance. of fate, of proDinquity,
very largely of the latter. But to
fall in love is one thing and TO
escape the snares eff matrimony lie
another The first may not be
controlled or guided, but the latter
is ususlly matter of more or less
reason and logic, on the man's if
not on the woman's part. 1 am
not speaking either of the marriage
of material advantage or of OF n
venience / have in mind the
question of matrimony in general
and fn the abstract Foolish love
affairs seem to be inevitable at all
ages, but really foolish marriages
are rarely entered into save by

are rarely entered into save by
very young people. The marriage
which the average man or woman
makes is usually the very best of
which he or she is capable of CON-
tracting.
1t is an unwritten law of social
kinetics that personalities seek and
find their afHnities, that they rise
or sink to their own proper level
in the social scheme, and the great
leveling force of civilized society
is marriage. The apparent effect
of this force is to raise the oman
and to pull down the man; the less
plastic nature of a man as COM
pared to that of a woman rarely
permits of his improvement either
mentally or morally through ssso-
citation with a superior woman,
while on the contrary a woman's
nature is 80 plastic, so almost fluid,
that it pours itself involuntarily
into the mold set for it's modelling.
1t is therefore a most important

too, that he should be at least her
equal in moral strength; if she far

Thomas F. Somers one night
had to stay over IN a very small
town in the far South; he con-
tided to the woman who ran the
hotel that he was fond of butter
milk. At supper she brought in
a huge jar of it, set it on the
table in front of him and said:
Go ahead and drink all you want
to. We don't keep no pig.

An examination made by a
distinguished physician of DIR.
William K. Harper, president of
Chicago university, is said to
have shown that the cancerous
affection from which he has been
suffering had decreased nearly
two-tn1rds OF ito original size.
This is believed to be due to the
radium treatment which he has
been undergoing. This treat
ment is described as consisting
of administering to the patient a
fluid solutson which has the pro-
perty of becoming tluorescent
when struck by radium rays and
afterward applying the rays.
Should DR.. Harper be cured, the
fact would go far to strengthen
the claim that radium is effective
in cancer cases. Even in the
event of his recovery, however, it
would no necessarily mean that
the same treatment would be
effective in all cancer cases, for
some would doubtless be too far
goue for effective help, while
others might have complications
not present in that ofthe Chicago
educator.

There was a riot at Hampstead,
Texas, April "a, in which three
men were killed and seral more

ney was speaking in favor of the
proposition when Brown shot and

Domestic oats running wild
with their descendants born in the
timber threaten to overrun the
forests of the northern part of
Minnesota. Several years ago a
lumber company distributed about
fifty oats among his camps and at
the headquarters for supplies to
kill eff the rats. When the camps
b -oke up most of the ca's were
left to shift for themselves, and the
result has been that they are now
running wild with their thousands
of descendants, and the feline
population of the county has al
ready reached astonishing proper

Nan Patterson's case is that Of
any girl who sacrifices woman
hood. Ifshe had been what she
onght to have been she would
not have fallen in with Caesar
Young. Birds of a feather will
flock together. 1t tdoes not make
much difference whether she
killed Caesar Young or Caesar
Young killed himself. Any other
view of this case is not health
full one. The kind of public IN
terest manifested in this case Is
conductive to the production of.
more Nan Patterson. Morbid
curiosity is bad enough, but
sympathy that bespeaks morally
diseased minds is worse. And
when such sympathy extends to
point of excuslng the woman IN

A Western editor published
the following obituary notice
deceased was a mild-mannered
pirate with a mouth for whiskey
and an eye for Doodle. He came
here in the night with an
other mans wife and joined the
church at the first chance. He
owed US several dollars for the
paper, large meat bill, and you
could hear him pray six blocks.
He died singing Jesus Paid It
All, and we think he was right,
as he never paid anything him
self. He was buried in an abestos
lined casket, and his many friends
threw palm leaf fans into the
grave, as he may need them.
His tombstone will be a resting
place for hoot owls.

a good story is told of a pro-
minent Point Pleasant citizen.
By some chance q he happened
to have some beer checks in his
pocket His wife got hold of
them and asked him what they
were "Bread checks" he answer
ed and thought no more about
it. The next day the wife afore-
said happened to be out of bread
and took couple of them to the
baket who also runs thirst
slaking establishment. Although
it is against the rule to take beer
checks in payment for the staff
of life, the genial proprietor,
smilingly accepted them as he
passed the loaves over the coun-
ter, having taken in the situation
at a glance. And the good
woman of the house isstill igno-
rant of the fact that her husband
had in his possession some checks
that were not bread checks.
