for column OF special dispatches
written in the office. Only once did
the paper miss fire. Colver did not
know oats from mint juleps and in
the middle Of January he printed a

ing how the farmers were busy put
ting iatheir oats crop. That brought
in some indignant denials but 1t did
not worry Dick any. Soon after the
daily was moved to Salina and later
suspended publication.
Rohrer is running a hotel in Ana
dsrka, Okla; Colver died after a
metsoric career on the Pacific coast.
His last leap into fame was when he
organized on paper revolution that
was to make a separate country Of
Old California. Benjamin went back
to Kentucky and died. Today we re-

1t is astonishing how little even thu
majority Of husbands know about the
feminine nature. recently heard 4
young wife say that she would rather
have her husband bring her bunch OF
violets than give her ten times the
money they cost. But she said she
could never make him appreciate the
fact that money was not all that she
needed.

wives. They either think 1t unneces.

wives want flowers they can get them
themselves. They DO not realize that
women prize the little courtesies, tine
little attentions and evidences of
thoughtfulness more than money. II

the bringing home of tickets to the
theater or opera or to the concert or
lecture-it is the hundred and one lit
tie things that make the average wo-
man happy and not merely the fact
that her imperative wants are supplied
in lump sum.
Most men overlook the fact that it
does not take so much, after all, to
satisfy the average woman. 1t is
largely question of the right spirit,
of doing the things which indicate
thoughtfulness. Just giving a wife a
check once in awhile. no matter how
large 1t may be. or telling her to draw
as much as she needs from your bank
account will not satisfy a womanly
woman. 1t is yourself she wants with
the money.-Success Magazine.
