Girls and sold Maids.-

Never sheer, girls, at an unhappy
''old maid" Once she was very likely
just as sweet and young and sunny
hearted as yourselves. But she missed
the road which may, perhaps, lead you
TO a sweetheart and a prospect of mar
ried happiness. OF course, she was
wrong to turn sour.
To brood over things that cannot be
helped is weak-spirited. There are
many roses to be gathered in the gar
den of life over and beyond the ro-
nance belonging to men and maids.
Success and happiness can be won by
any girl OF to-day, even if nobody
comes to WOO. But neither is likely to
come to the girl who, when love fails
her, sits down to weep and wall over a
might-have-been marriage.

Hope Even for pessimist.

Even born pessimist may cultivate
4 cheerful, honest openness of counte-
nance, though i admit 1t will come
hard at first. But she may do it by
thinking of the best side of things, and
remembering that there is some good
in everything if only one will search
for it. Once discovered this must be
held tightly, otherwise it's apt to get
away, but If one remembers that
though there is dishonesty in the world
there is honesty, too; that though
times may be hard they are bound to
get better; and that cheerfulness will
help it on; If she will make herself
strong and sweet with kindness, not
bitterness in her heart, she will de-
velop a smile because of the happiness
within.-Exchange.

The Henpeclsip~ Wife.


The henpecking wife's greatest crime
S her ignorance of the meaning of the
marriage VOW. She actually believes
that she has right to dictate to her
husband, TO fret at him, to nag him, to
order his way of living just because
she is married to him. Why must a
mans personal liberty be ut an end
because he has taken unto himself a
wife? Every man and woman is per-
son and is entitled to certain liberties,
certain freedom of action, certain re-
spect from other persons, but the hen
pecking wife doesn't recognize any of
these laws.
Woman admires manllness, yet the
personal liberty makes a dummy of
him. He has arms and legs. tongue
and teeth. even a brain, but these he
must not use as he chooses. He must
hate as she hates. love whom she loves,
eat as she eats, think as she thinks,
believe as she believes, even to the
worshiping of her God. She scolds
thinks she has right TO. Worse, she

The henpecking wife feels too much
responsibility. If her husband talks
too much. speaks too loudly, laughs
too heartily. she takes his sin upon her
own shoulders and is 80 mortified. "
Why? She doesn't care how loudly the
grocer laughs. Her husband isn't a
piece of her that she must be RESPONSE
bic for his vocal defects.
A man is a person, married or sin
gle. The marriage VOW contains no
clause which gives n woman the right
to rob her husband of its free will nor
does it say that. she can lose her tenn
per and scold him with impunity. No
matter how much he loves her, he is in
no way part of her. He is being
an individual, with just as much right
to his personal belief, aims, ambitions
hopes, fears. habits, rs he had before
he married her.
When women learn these truths they
will have too much respect for the in
dividuality, the strength, the PERSONAL.

selves to develop into henpecking

ing which occurred in the appraisers
office a: Boston. 1t involved the classi-
ficati0n for duty OF an importation OF
diamonds intended for industrial pur-
poses. These particular diamonds were
to be used as bearings in electric mo-
tors The diamonds were brOwnish in
color and each had one surface cut
and polished Duty was assessed upon
them at the rate of 10 per cent al
valorem, but the importers claimed free
entry for them, contending that they
were what is known in trade as bort
that is, diamonds which are used ex-
clusively for industrial purposes. The
preponderance of the evidence showed
that at the present time the diamonds
in the condition that they We're i'm
ported would not be known as rose dia-
monds. and that they cannot be COM
mercially cut and adapted to jewelry
purposes in this country.
The treasury department has decided
in favor of the protestants, the officials
here taking the ground that for tariff
purposes the department is concerned
only with the question as to how the
diamonds in question would have been
regarded at the time the tariff act OF
1897 was passed. II is held that pres
ent conditions are not material TO the
case, and that therefore il is not of i'm
portance whether or not. in view of the
continuous advance in the price OF all
grades OF diamonds during the last ten
years. the better qualities OF bort could
be cut into the form of rose diamonds
1t was held that this particular impor-
tation' OF diamonds OF Boston was in
tended for Industrial purposes and
would have been known I'm 1897 as

EMBEZzLEMENT CASE UNIQUE
Trial Of Delinquent Treasurer Brings
Out Plea of Bonding Concern.

John p. Walker, former treasurer of
yanderburg county, who is charged with
the embezzlesaent of $63,500 in county
funds, has been placed on trial again at
Rockport. The first trial, several months
ago, resulted in a disagreement. The
surety company that was on Walkers
bond has refused to make good tie alleged
shortage. The company says 1t will wait
until the courts have passed on the Walk
err case and that if he is found not guilty
it will go into the courts and set up the
plea that there is no shortage in view OF
the fact that Walker was acquitted. In
this respect the case is unique. AS presi-
dent of the Evansville team In the Gen.
trail baseball league Walker lost mone-.
He also was known as good fellow"
and loaned thousands of dollars to his
friends. 1t also is alleged he lost consid-

INDIANA GAME LAW.
It Has Some Provisions Not Gener-
ally Understood.


The charge for hunters license to those
living within the State is 81 for each
license and to those who are citizens of
other States $3.50 This money is re-
mitted to the State Treasurer and is used
in part to pay the commissioner of fish
cries and game and his deputies. Not less
than one-third of the money received from
this source is required by law to be spent
in the purchase and distribution of live
quail and other species of live game for
the purpose of restocking the State with
such as may for any reason become scarce.
Just now, while the hunting season is
on, khere are a few things that every one
ought to know in regard to the game
laws. No license is issued to any person
under IA years of age, unless the applica-
ton is endorsed in writing by the parents
or guardian. Owners of farm lands, their
children or tenants may hunt on the lands
of which they are the owners or tenants
during the hunting season without procur-
ing license. A person can hunt rabbits
in the township in which he resides with
out license. No hunter shall kill more
than fifteen quail in one day, and in
three consecutive days not more than for
ty-fve. The penalty attached to any vio-
lation of the game law is, for a resident
of the State, not less than 50 nor more
than $50 for each offense. For non-resi-
dents, not less than $25 nor more than
500, to which may be added not more
than sixty days in the county Jail. The
game laws of the State are being better
understood and appreciated each year.
These laws are the outcome of years of
effort, and while there is yet much to i'm
prove they are nevertheless of great value
in preserving to the people the useful ma
tive birds and animals that nature has
provided for them.
The hunting season opened Nov. 10 and
will continue until Jan. l. The game
laws of Ohio and Kenelcky are not the
same as the Indiana law, but in both
States they are very strict. Rabbits and
mail are nlentiful
