After considerable observation" says
Missouri editor, I'VE have come, to tho
conclusion that the college woman marrles
as quickly as the woman who has not the
advantage Of a college training When
the right man comes along the woman will
say yes, whether she is a bachelor of arts
or a housemaid. And she will make the
better housemaid because she is a bachelor
of arts. There are some educated women
who are welded to their profession--untii
the right man comes along. Then he is
their profession. Marriages of convenience
are made less frequently by college women
because they do not feel obliged to marry
and escape poverty or dependence. But
love marriages are made as often. and It Ia
only the love marriage that Is worth the
making.

The attack was delayed six months
while Governor Scott was trying to
persuade the outlaws to surrender. All
overtures were scorned, and the de-

laws and the Arab priests persuaded their
followers that the Government would. be
unable to dislodge them from their for
tress within two years
Leading Moros, in their desire for the
extermnation OF the outlaws, aided the
troops in the fight Two hundred Moros
under the direction of leading dattoes

The reports of company and troop COM

that every effort was made to save
women and children. After the fight
was over, General Wood ordered sup
plies and assistance for the women and
children remaining alive in the crater.
