MANY D0NTs THAT DEMAND ATTENTION
BY Lizette.

Never demand attention from a man.
II you do he will Immediately lind five
thousand reasons why he shouldn't give 1t.
Nut IL he sees that you are not likely to
pine away II his attentions cease he will In
all probability continue them assiduously.
That's because he likes to imagine he con-
trolls the situation.
SO he does to outward seeming, but very
often there's "a man behind the gun" In the
wots not OF.
II man thinks he's having his own way
he Is quite likely to offer magnanimously to
Then is the time to be tactful and accept
the offer in becoming spirit.
You can't compel man to be attentive to
think he wants to be attentive to you.
So many girls make the mistake Of insist
ing that a man should be unfailing In his de-
votion.
They let him see that they expect great
deal from him.
Just because it is expected he loses the de-
Love win not stand coercion; 1t must be
given spontaneously.
At least that is the case on the mans side.
With a woman 1t Is different
She likes to have demands made on her
love.
You rarely hear Of a woman being bored
But a man after the first novelty wears
on Is always bored by womans jealousy.
Do not imagine for one moment that l am
ceive with thankfulness any meager atten-
tions a man may be inclined to fling to them.
consider that woman cheapens herself
quite as much when she demands too much
as when she is satisfied with too little.
If mans interest In a woman Is on the
wane she can never revive 1t through de-
mands.
She can only revive it through making
herself very charming and somewhat mac
cessbe.
When she demands his attention she irri-
tates him and widens the breach between
them.
The woman he loves may lead him by a
silken thread, but IL she be wise she will
never draw the thread taut.
When a man says must to a woman she
may outwardly rebel, but in nine out of ten
cases she inwardly rejoices-~ Always pro-
vided, of course, that she has some interest
In the man.
But no matter how much a man loves a
woman he does not relish the word must"
from her lips.
A woman may lead man, but she never
can drive him.

TWO PIANOS. BIG CASH PRIZES FREEl

In this issue will be found on page an adyer-
tisement of SUCCESSFUL FARMING, Of Des Moines.
Iowa, which is one of the best and most successful
agricultural papers in the United States. They
are making a remarkable offer to our readers OF
two pianos and some large cash prizes to those
who count the dots correctly in the picture Of
piano which appears in their advertisement. Full
conditions are given and we would suggest that
readers should look this up and go after these
prizes. We would be more than pleased If some
Of these big prizes should be by readers of
paper, and, while It is not so easy to count these
dots as it may seem from first glance, we see
reason why readers Of our paper should not be the
fortunate ones. SUCCESSFUL FARMING Is respon-
sibie and refers to every bank and business house
In Des Moines and awarding of prizes will be
wholly in the hands of disinterested judges.
among whom Is the Treasurer of the State of Iowa.
Judge Of the District Court and Q Minister. Il
would seem this is an opportunity for somebody
to get large prizes free. Look up their offer in
this issue and get in your counts.

It's gotten to be no trick at all to raise
thirty thousand-dollar ''pinks' or ffty-thou-
sand-dollar horses, or Observation-Disclosures
but it still is the toughest proposition in the
world to raise anything better than thirty
cent brains. Why? Because: People Will

but they don't care a darn how they feed
their offspring, and still less themselves.
