p The French View of Marriage,
The French. guided by reason, as
they say, regard the institution Of
matrimony as a rational regulation of.
the fact OF sex. as ia1compromlse be-
tween the rights of the individual and
the rights of society. The man obeys.
but under protest. He is willing to
sacrifice his liberty so far. but beyond
that point he regards self abnegation
as fanatical asceticism. Marriage IN.
der French usage Is a partnership In
which such matters as character, tastes.
education. birth and property are to
be considered. Contracting families
scrutinize the proposed bride and
groom rs If coming IN for admlttance
into a club. They look at our custom
Of marrying for love with amazement,
as we should look at grocer's cart
that started on its rounds at thirty
miles an hour. Our system confines
its view. to the romantic dreams of
youth and regards matrlmony rather
as holiday cruise than a voyage for
life. We may err in our endeavOr to
regard men and women as dlsembod-
led spirits. and yet we cannot hut
think that the French err In their reso
luton TO be sensible and regard men
and women as animals taken In the
tolls Of society Our theory may LOOK
too far into the future; theirs fingers
too far In the brutal past.-H. b. sedg.

Leon Defeats MT. Ayr.

The Leon high school football team
went to Mt. Ayr last Saturday and de-
feated the nigh scnooI team at that
place by the score of to O.
Mt Ayr won the toss, choosing to de-
fend the west goal and with the wind
in their favor.
Mt. Ayr kicked to Grimes who adj
vanced the ball about ten yards.
The Mt. Ayr line could not withstand
the severe line plunges and brilliant
end runs and in few minutes Leon had
the ball on Mt. Ayr's 15-yard line, where
Grimes broke away and by an end run
scored touchdown.
Leon failed to kick goal.
Leon kicked to Mt. Ayr, who advanced
the ball ten yards. Mt. Ayr by gradual
gains carried the ball to their own so
yard line where time was called.
In the second half Mt. Ayr kicked to
Leon who advanced the ball to their
own 25-yard line, but here they lost it
on a tumble.
Mt. Ayr now carried the ball down
the field to Icons 12-yard line but were
here penalized Is yards for making an
illegal quarterback run. Leon now held
them for downs and by a series of line
smashes and end runs, the feature Of
which was 30-yard run by Armstrong,
carried the ball to Mt. Ayr's 10-yari
line. Mt. Ayr now held Leon for downs
and had carried the ball to the middle
of the field when time was called.
The tackling by McGinnis was no.
ticeable feature of the game.
Following is the lineup:

HARD TO BELIEVE.
Story That Will Interest Smokers
Told as Though it We're True.

A well-known farmer, says an eastern
exchange, fed his horse by mistake a
quantity of poultry food, thinking it
was stock food, and the mistake was
not noticed until the horse had scratch
ed up half the garden and showed signs
of wanting to set.
While this sounds little improbable,
yet one of the clerks at Bell & Robin
sons tells a story akin to it. They have
recently secured the agency for
Wadsworth Bros Chicos, a cigar
that sells for &C., but is the equal in
quality of any 1Oc. cigar, and in fact is
preferred by many smokers. He induc-
ed one of their customers who had never
smoked anything but an ordinary SC.
cigar to try a Chicos, with the result
that he now wants high grade goods in
all lines.
Don't buy a Wadsworth Bros. Chicos
because it is cheap; buy it because it is
good, because it is clear long Havana
filler, because it has high grade, to-
bacco flavor and delightful aroma,
because it's the best cigar, you can get
solid enjoyment, and there is satisfac-
tion in feeling that you are getting all
this for a flickel s

The contest was not for single acre
anywhere, but the rules specified that
the acre should be at least 20 rods long
and be in field of at least 5 acres.
Fred Woolley, one of the best judges of
corn in the state of Iowa, says he
had the pleasure of going through the
fields of Mr.. Bowman and Mr.. Farmer
before the corn was husked. Each
field contained 80 or 40 acres and il
there was one acre that had had any
special pulverizing or care he could
not locate it.
