Beauty and Availability.

The woman who can control herself
under the most trying circumstances
is the woman who holds the strongest
power over men.
And amiabillty Is not only power. 1t
Is mental progression and health and
happiness and long life to ones self
and to ones friends and family
The assertion from woman that
she has a bad temper. and Is proud
of it, has kept more than one worthy
man from asking her to share his FIJI
ture as his wife.
No matter how beautiful and brainy
and Fascinating the bad tempered
woman may be. or how lengthy her
bank account, her power is infinites-
imal compared with that of her anna
BILE sister
The average man prizes permanent
peace and content above the happiness
of possessing a beautiful attractive
creature for a wife. and he knows that
bad-tempered woman and peace go
not together.

temporaries, he seems to have been
partly forgotten by later generation.
His entire life Is SO closely ASSOCIATED
with the history of the Constitution
that the accounts Of the battle between
the Constitution and the Guerrierc Is
illustrative Of his bravery and courage.
The conflict took place between the
two boats in 1912 off the Gulf of st.
Lawrence. At the call Of the fife and
the drum. every man upon the Amerl-
can vessel sprang to his post. Mus
kets and pistols were at hand and sand
had been scattered over the deck.
The Guerrero had already opened
fire, but Captain Hull waited until he
was within pistol shot of the enemy.
Then he fired whole broadside. As
a British mast fell, the ships came to-
gether and the American sailors tried
to bind them fast. The two vessels
parted, however, and the remaining
masts Of the Guerrlere fell. With great
holes torn in her sides. the Guerriere
lay, total wreck. and soon surren-
dered to the Constitution. The effect
Of this victory was new confidence
In the American navy. a sentiment In
valuable at the time to the success Of
the war.

the man she loves. and ultimately
leads him to happy life by her true
heartedness. is undeserving Of admira-
ton and praise. The fault lies In the
fact that by holding up such case as
Il splendid example to their sex. many
girls get exaggerated notions and
ideas as to how far conStancy should
be practlced In love affairs.
The result Is that they are very
often foolishly constant. They do not
temper their love with common sense.
The reader may smile. and say that
love is blind and Gusts common sense
from the average girls mind. But In
many cases this Is only because she
possesses false, romantic and senti-
mental ideas as to what girls duty Is

BUSY MEXICAN MATAOOR.

His Assistants Injured, He Killed Five
Bul1s In One Sunday Session.
Parrao was forced to kill five bulls
out Of the seven slain in yesterdays

"Falco,' matadors alternative. were
each wounded III the sword hand In
killing their first bull. Monies received
the more severe wound, the flesh be
tween the thumb and first finger being
split by the sword hilt when he made
his first thrust. "Falco" escaped with
sprain. but neither Of the matadors
was able after that to handle the
espada.
The fight was exceptionally good
from every viewpoint, and ParraO
covered himself with glory by dis
patching every one of his bulls, with
one exception, by single neat stroke.
Six bulls had been advertised, but
seven were killed, the last being a
present from Monies, whose benefit

the ring were easily the best. Two OF

After the banderillos had been placed
"Falco" took the sword, but his aim in
the first two strokes was not true and
they caused wounds only. At the third

second bull with one stroke and re-

sombra sides. Monies. in Staying the

hand was wounded and he left the

people married at random. the result
would be that they would mate at the
rate of 1O4 per 1000; but he had dis

MIR. Cleveland on WOman's Clubs.

NlTs NIcVet0nu on " OmanS NIuUss
Grover Cleveland has contributed an
article to the May Ladies' Home Jour
nal on "Woman's Mission and Wom-
ans Clubs" The former President
looks with little favor upon woman's
clubs. His ideal of good wife Is
summed up in the homely definition:
"A woman who loves her husband and
her country with no desire to run
either" He does not object to women
assOciating or cooperating in charita-
BILE, benevolent and religious work To-
cal In activities and purposes. He even
seems willing woman should belong
to one or perhaps even two clubs. He
fears, however. that If she join one
club she will be tempted to join more.
and will finally get to neglecting her
home. He regards home making and
child rearing as the highest missions
of woman, and he believes there are
wOman's clubs whose objects and in
tents are not only harmful but harm
full in way that directly menaces the
integrity OF our homes and the benign
uiSl)OsllIOu VI our WlleHOOu anu IlOtu-
erhood"
Mr.. Cleveland thinks the rapid
growth Of woman's clubs Is partly due
to "the widespread and contagious fe-
yer for change or Encouragement
which seems to leave no phase of our
peoples life untouched" He regards
1t as also in some measure retalia
ton upon American husbands for sur
rendering themselves to business and
the pursuit OF wealth and neglecting
their wives. Left to follow their own
devices, women have taken up club
life as a refuge from loneliness and
monotony He denOunces mans neg
lect of woman as Il 'dastarlly of
fense" but thinks women who forSalle
their homes for clubs only make their
situation and their children's far
worse.-Chicago Tribune.
