The following is a copy Of the cpl
.taph of a matchmaker. written by
himself, in which he is compared to
a watch that has run down: Here
lies, in horizontal position, the out
side case Of George Ritter, whose
abiding place in hat line was an hon
or TO his profession. Integrity was
his handspring, and prudence the reg
ulator Of all the actions of his life.
Humane, generous, and liberal, his
hand never stopped till he had re-
Ilieved distress. He never went
wrong. except when set agoing by
people who did not know his key.
Even then he was easily set right
again. He had the art Of dispensing
of his time so well that his hours
glided by in one continual round of
pleasure and delight. till an unlucky
minute put an end to his existence,
His case rests and molders and de-
Gays beneath the turf. but his good
works will never die"

Common Sense Cold cures.

Look out for the coming Of colds.
Several common-sense dealings may
ward away the microbe. Battle the

hot lemonade. Then sponge with salt
water and remain in a warm room.
Or, battle the face in hot water every
five minutes for an hour. Or, sniH up
the nostrils hot salt water every three

The Weaker Sex"

Old women and new woman, 1t
makes no difference. This cry about
the feminine lack Of courage and
strength is out of date. A few months
ago Evelyn Walsh, daughter of the
Colorado multimillionaire, was almost
killed in a motor accident. Her life
hung by a thread for weeks and she
was taken to her old home in Color
ado as a last resort. There the brac-
ing air cured her, and one day last
week she stepped into her motor car
and reeled off Is miles in 20 minutes.
No fear there. And as for strength,

And We have also the paradox that the same woman can be two things
at different times. There is therefore a basis of truth in Popes hard
saying that women have no characters at all Because their problem
is not to accommodate to the solid realities Of the world Of experience
and sense, but to adjust themselves to the personality of men, it is not
surprising that they should assume protean shapes

been evolved largely through the stimulus of the female presence, he
continues to be more profoundly affected by her presence and behavior

the ease and frequency with which a woman makes a fool of a man.

ERE has been developed a peculiar code of morals to cover
the peculiar case of woman. This may be called a morality Of
the person and of the bodily habits, as contrasted with the
commercial and public morality Of man. Purity, constancy,
reserve and devotion are the qualities in woman which please
and hatter the jealous male; and woman has responded to
these demands both really and seemingly. Without any

will be that each high school In the
state will be able to give a years
training in pedagogical science, and

tions and going out to teach in the
country districts.

KAISER PLANS TRIP
Will Pay Visit to His Uncle,
King Edward VII.
RECEIVES CORDIAL INVITATION
Meeting Expected TO Improve ReIa-
tiOns Between Germany and Great
BrItafn-Emperor VIII Probably
spend Some Days at Windsor Cas-
tie During Month of November.

Berlin, July 13.-It may now be cOnsid-
cred as certain as anything in the region
Of international politics can be that the
German Emperor viii pay visit to Eng
land in the course Of the coming autumn.
The report that his majesty received an
invitation from King Edward some days
ago was perfectly correct It Is also the
case that the British soyereign's letter to
his imperial nes thew was c0uched in terms
OF marked c0rdiallty. The statement that
the Emperor was asked to participate in
the events OF Cowes week was. however.
beside the mark, as the invitation was for
a sojourn at Windsor Castle, and the
month mentioned was November.
To any one who has followed the obvi-
ously sincere efforts OF the German gov
eminent during the last few months, and
especially during the presence in the en-
pire of the British journalists and the
deputation from the city Of London, to
improve the relations between the two
countries. there could be little doubt as
10 the answer which would be made TO
King Edwards communication.
Il appears. however, that it was not
dispatched till the Emperor had had al
opportunity Of discussing 1t with the
chancellor during the latters brief stay
in KEEL Until it is known that the reply
has reached the hands for which it is
intended, It would obviously be improper
for the few persons in the confidence Of
the German monarch TO speak openly OF
its contents, and, as s. matter OF fact, ST.
| Ieuee on the immediate point has been
vigorously observed.
At the same time. It requires no ex-
traoTdinary powers Of peTsDicacity to see
that the invitation has been accepted, and
that considerable Importance IS attached
10 the meeting which viii be its conse-
quence.. It may also be taken for granted
that the Emperor is much pleased at the
prospect OF paying another visit 20 Eng
land. for which, as well as its monarch.
he is known to have very high admira-
4 ton.
It Is felt IN official circles that recent
Inequalities have contributed a good deal
| to remove the misunderstanding between
/ Great Britain and Germany. and II Is
hoped that tho Emperor experiences dur
[ Ing his stay at Windsor viii have the re-
! suit of placing tho relations between the
TWO countries on a footing Of more en-
during stability than they have occupied
Of late.

his lieutenant always to smoke a pipe or

sends the boat down to glddy and dan
gerous depths below sixteen fathoms.
The opium fumes intoxicate him, and he
finds delight in the double enjoyment
produced by the exhilaration Of fear and
the ecstasy of a drugged brain
It seems now that such an officer is not
met with merely on the stage. Whether
or not the minister Of marine has been TO
the Grand Guignol. he has just issued an
order. openly noting the habit OF opium
smoking IN the French navy. and pre-
scribing stern measures for stamping II
