USE MODERATION
IN LOVEMAKING
Man Who Loses His Head With His Heart Pretty
Certain to Lose the Girl
Bu DOROTHY FE.NIyNORE.

Oliver Twist by timidly asking for
more. If she has gone through the
high school, she knows thing or two
already about love letters and finn
fam. and she understands how easily
the masculine heart may be made to
palpitate. You can't make her bite at
a wiggling worm on a plain hook. But
you may make her snap at fly.
In the life of nearly every girl there
are several men whom she has almost
loved A change in ideals has rescued
her at the eleventh hour. Once, per-
haps, she was attracted and mystified
by the melancholy Of a dyspeptic
suitor, who always looked as if he
heard the haunting sadness OF requiem
music. or the sound of autumn signing
through the lonely hills. once she just
dotted on the kind of beau whose beau
tiful eyes grew soft. and whose plead
ing voice was wonderfully sweet as he
Overworked the hortative subjunctive.
Her pulses may have futtered over the
hysterical hero of romance who has
noisy way of crying out in a punctu-
ated agony Of despair: Why are you
trembling, my hearts desire2 Merci-
full heavenil.l Have I said anything
to terrify this gentle hearth She
may have thought that 1t would be real
nice to hear some one propose to her
thusly: "Oh. fairest angel! Pray give
me life. or bid me go away and die"
She may even In some extravagant day
dream have imagined that an automO-
bile trip to the marriage license bureau
would mean greater joy than would
one thither on an ordinary trolley car.
But when she Is old enough to marry
she gets all over this. Or. rather. un-
til she gets all over this she Is not old
enough to marry. She can't help find
ing out as time goes on that she is not
an angel. or a goddess-even OF the
plaster of paris kind. She becomes
satisfied to be just plain human. She
has sense enough to esteem cold deeds
higher than burning words. and to pre-
fer the quiet but tender affection
which she sees in the -bad-looking
eyes of the man she loves to any hot
flame of love on anybody else's artsto-
cratic countenance.
There is poetry in moderation. There
is power in self-contrOl. II you are
going to be master of any situation you
mu -st be master of yourself. The
man who loses his head when he loves
his heart is pretty certain to lose the
girl also.

thereby loosening the fastenings of the
hat. Another sharp report quickly
rings out and one side of the lady's
dress is seen to fall from her shoul-
der, and so the marvellous shooting
continues until the lady's dress is
literally "shot off her back" and she
stands unharmed and calm, garbed in
loose, hanging robes.
That such precise craftsmanship is
truly marvellous goes without saying,
and it demands steady nerves from
target.
On one occasion in Germany a gen.
tleman in the audience protested that
the 'colonel's" feats were not genuine.
"Will you kindly step on the stage?"
was the quiet reply. Il see you are

shot, as the dubious member advanced
toward the footlights. Yes, and why
not?" came the answer. 'Oh, WELL new
er mind" replied Bordeverry; I'll put
it out for you, as it's against the rules
this side of the footlights." Hardly
had he spoken than a shot was heard,
and the erstwhile smoker found his
cigarette flying out of his mouth. 1t
had been shot in two parts at dis
tance of over twelve yards.
Another marvellous feat the famous
marksman performs is to shoot a piece

THE APRIL PANDEX

Editor Street of The Pandex of the
Press has given his readers a better
publication for April than any of the
previous issues. The Pandex is high
ly interesting from cover to cover.
The April number contains a number
of commendatory letters, one of which
from Albert S. Cook. professor Of
English language and literature at
Yale, says that Mr.. Street is doing a
real service to busy people" Con-
gresham Kahn writes: You are
supplying a magazine that should be
on the desk of every busy man."

position an ordinary piece of lump
sugar. At a distance of seven yards
the colonel raises his rifle, and, seem
ing scarcely to take aim, shoots the
sugar away from it's human supports.
The rapidity with which his feats are
performed has justly earned for this
marvellous marksman the title of the
worlds greatest rifle and revolver
shot
1t seems as easy to him to lean over
backward from the dress circle of a
theater and snuff out row of candles,
one by one. with a rifle as it is for the
ordinary shot to hit three-foot tar
get at a distance of three yards.
1t should also be mentioned that the
colonel is an expert piano player. He,
however, scorns to play the piano with
his fingers-that is far too easy. He
has another and much more original
way of making music-he shoots the
"Cavalleria Rusticana" from the piano
with a revolver. Note by note, he
makes a target of an ordinary piano.
And when it is said. that he, can play
several pieces from beginning to end
with an ordinary six-ehambered re-
-olver the novel musician can hardly
5e termed a beginner, either as piano
player or a revolver shot.

HE following complex subject
has been presented to me for
discussion: How far should
young man cultivate the atti-
tude of indifference toward the fair
sex? Should moderation in love be his
aim? Is not great love Incompatible
with absolute self-control; and, finally,
would undemonstrative affection sat
isfy a woman?
/ cannot begin better than by quot
ing Laurence Sterne's opinion that
"courtship consists in a number OF
quiet attentions. not so pointed as to
alarm. nor so vague as to be misun-
derstood."
A genial attitude of indifference,
believe, is both high art and practical
method when you are trying TO catch
the fancy of the girl whom you would
seriously WOO THUS she is not star
tied into premature retreat, as she
might be by undue ardor on your part.
She is the more likely to accept the
favors that you offer. and to initiate

True, Colonel Bordeverry does not

feats still more marvellous. and at the
Lyceum when he commenced his first

don Mail.
One of his most wonderful perform
ances is to literally shoot a lady's

shoulders and elbows are various small
targets. the bull of which is scarcely
the size of a three-penny bit. How
ever, il is quite large enough for Col

hand he stands at one end of the
stage, while his intrepid assistant takes
up her stand at the other. In a trice

FIRE ON FOXdN ROAD
AIALoNET,S BIG BARN ALMOST
TOTALLY DESTROYED.

Blaze Started In Hay Loft-Cause I'm
known-Bueket Brigade Formed and
Ell Sayed-yaIuabIe Tools and wag-
ons LOst-NOt Covered by Insurance.
A very spectacular fire occurred out
on the Foxon road last night lighting
up the country for a long distance
round about The blaze showed up very
brilliantly in Fair Haven and many
thought it was C. B Rowe's place, just
over the heights. The fire proved elu-
sive, however, and many Fair Haven
people got discouraged before getting
to Mr.. Maloney's place, where it was.
The Maloney's were just sitting down
to supper about $50 when their little
boy came running into the house shout
ing that the barn was afire. By the
time they reached the barn the entire
upper story was in flames. There was
just time to turn the horses and cows
loose and drive them out and then to
escape. AS soon as the blaze was seen
neighbors came from all around and
formed bucket brigade. But the
main part of the barn was TOO far gone
and their efforts were confined to the
south ell, the greater part OF which
was saved. The house and other build
ings stand apart from the barn and
there was fortunately no wind to carry
the sparks.
Within half an hour from the start
the main part of the barn had fallen
into blazing ruins. Two loads of hay
and large quantity of fodder spread
the flames about and seemed to go up
all at once. Tt is thought that the
handling of this hay, which had just
been brought from Morris Cove, may
have caused the fire. No other cause
is known. as none of the men smoke
and there were no lanterns in the barn
at the time. The three horses and
eight or ten cows We're all driven out
in safety and put in neighboring
| barns for the night. A large lot of pigs
| had been bought recently, and 1t is not
known whether they all escaped or not.
It is thought that a large number of
fowls and geese, which stay in the hay
loft, were burned. A new farm wagon
| and $500 worth Of farming tools, new
| last summer, were totally destroyed.
| In all the damage will come to about
| s., 200 or $1,000 and will, be a total loss.
| Mr.. Maloney's house burned couple of
| years ago and this, with other recent
! losses, will nearly put him out of the
| farming business. ,~ 81
