REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 When a woman is not good looking it is a sign she doesn't believe it
 People display their virtues in a front sidewalk showcase.
 A woman thinks a man has a bad temper when he loses his because she never finds hers.
 If you can't think of anything better, it is always safe to tell woman she has her own air about dressing.
 A woman gets awfully excited when she thinks how mad she would be if she knew some of the things her neighbors were saying about her.

Mrs. Nellie Kedzie Jones, who honors Kalamazoo, Mich, with her residence, says. "The hand that yields the cooking spoon is the hand that rules the world far more effectively than the hand that rocks the cradle" Mrs. Jones shows she possesses original ideas, even if her name is commonplace. Many there be who agree with her on the cooking proposition. for if there are any particular missions which woman has in the world, providing gastronomic delights is one. There is not much fame in being able to make good pie, but there is a world of satisfac- tion in it for they who hunger. All honor is due to the hand that rocks the cradle without yielding the cooking spoon. but what rare combination when a woman can do both! PAUL COOK.

ITS DRAWING NEAR. The soda seasons near at hand, Oh, Gladys, arn't you glad? To you it brings great pleasure, but We who pay are sad.

George Bernard Shaw is advertising himself to a sensational degree by his views on clothes, on society and lately on children. MT. Shaw ayers that children are savage, cruel and dirty. and thinks that boarding school is their only sal vation, People who live with them do so because they can not do otherwise. Home influences are demoralizing moral instruction is nonsense and attempts at forming character futile, while the people who love ehldren--the fanciers-are the very persons who should not have charge of them, at home or elsewhere. MT. Shaw expresses himself further along this line in a manner which causes us to wonder whether he is insane or is merely the victim of an over-zealous press agent. We are also reminded again that George Bernard Shaw Is not Shakes peare.

WISHING.

By Thomas Hood. A lake and a fairy boat,
 To sail in the moonligE. clear And merrily we would float
 From the dragons that watch us here. Thy gown would be snow-white silk;
 And strings of Orient pearls. Like gossamers dipped in milk.
 Should twine with thy raven curls Red rubIes should deck thy hands,
 And diamonds should be thy dover But fairies have broke their wands,
 And wishing has lost its power.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

T almost passes understanding that
 any woman could prefer the simple life to residing at the capital of a great state as the governors wife. Yet Mrs. Jesse F. Mcdonald, wife of the governor of Colorado, who was recently seated under the most sensational cir cumstanees says: T wish I could run away from it all and return to my home." Rather than be the first lady of the state,' she would live quietly at Leadville, where the 100 is not ambit- ious. It Is seldom that q woman voices such sentiments and one cannot but re- gard Mrs. Mcdonald with admiration. Surely she does not realize what pres tige her position will give her and what fine opportunities will be afforded for settling old scores" Mrs. Mcdonald must be an exceptionally good woman, endowed with that angelic disposition so rarely encountered end without single enemy, else how could she be indifferent to the attractions of place in society that is not only a social triumph but would permit her to properly punish the mean things who have been disagreeable in the past

 know what to do.

 pride

 university professor wants to know If 1t is wrong for young man to whis- per those airy nothings' into the ears of girl. The question is abstruse but is certainly worthy of consideration Whether the practice of .jollying," "giv- ine taffy," dispensing hot air and spinning fairy tales to sweet thing is technically or theoretically wrong is a trifie difficult to determine. Oftentimes a fellow thinks he means it all and taken, but there is really no excuse for any girl not knowing enough to know how to sift, weigh and analyze the con- versation of young men. It is very hard to find girl who doesn't these days and the professor ought not to be alarmed over the harm that may result from such talk. As to the question of it's rightness or it's wrongness, wooer's lie is the oreticaily wrong but technically right Even when swain believes devoutly all he says he exaggerates and the gal liant lover purposely extolls charms which do not exist; so we may deduce the axiom that all lovers are more or less liars. Also, the university professor might prove the sinfulness of wooer's lie incontrovertibly without stopping the practice.
