The Marital Unrest.

In the time of our great-grand-
mothers and grandmothers no
body thought of dissolving the
marriage tie. A woman's career
was marriage, and having once
embarked upon it she never con-
sidered going back.
But in these days debate is
rampant, and SO many persons
have considered going back"
that one wonders what slight re-
ciprocal affection induced them
ever to advance at all. Probably
it was not affection, but attrac-
tion. which depends upon out
ward and visible signs rather than
inward and spiritual graces, and
can cause the most unlikely and
unblendable characters to find
each other irresistably charming.
And while they are finding each
other charming, marriage is easy!
Since the beginning of the world,
admonition and advice have done
very little toward the curbing of
passion, and obstacles have only
served to excite it.
And it Is not too much to say
that most young people, if left to
form their own characters with
little in the way of responsibility
forced upon them and great deal
in the way of comfort and pleas
ure at their right hand. will form
rather self-indulgent characters,
which, rushing rapturously into
matrimony, as it were into the
seventh heaven, are exceedingly
chagrined to find how much self
denial is demanded of them when
they get there. Nobody has ex-
planned to them what marriage,
and the companionship OF it real
ly means, nor what a fund of tact
and tenderness, forbearance,
goodwill and gentle judgment
one must have to tide over the
hard places that come, at times,
to even the most loving couples.

No Mystery.

There isn't any mystery about
advertising, any more than there
is in selling goods oyer the coun-
try. There's a knaek about it, of
course. just as there is in sales
manship. But advertising Is sim
ply saying to lot of people just
what you would say to one indi-
yidual about your work. And the
man who can say convincing
things In person can say convinc-
ing things thru the medium of
printing ink. The knack consists
In getting the message before the
right people In such a way that
they will heed It. But there Is no
mystery in 1t at all. One learns
to do by doing, The exercise of
the creative faculty, to give that
name to the writing of an adver-
tisement, strengthens and devel-
ops the faculty as surely as exer-

Shall We celebrate1

This is question that many
have asked recently, and as other
towns are rapidly making up
their minds it might be we'll for
Holly people to decide whether
she shall celebrate independence
day or not.
Unless program may be for
mulated and carried out in a
better manner than last year The
Chieftain for one Is opposed to a
celebration Ii we are to cele-
brate at all let it not be by
halves. Those who derive the
revenue from the abnoralal
crowd are the ones who should
put up most of the money for
the entertainment, as it cannot
be properly handled without
more money than was available
last year.

Unfortunate Mixing of Packages.

We copy the following from
one OF our Missouri exchanges:
Wouldn't this jolt the loving
little birds off the boughs? A
few days ago young Normal
summer school student, accom-
panied by his sister, visited
store to purchase gift for his
sweetheart as birthday present
Thinking book or box OF bon
sbons too common, be decided to
give her pair OF gloves, and
made his purchase accordingly,
while his sister bought a pair Of
fancy stockings for herself. Both
gloves and stockings were wrap
ped in similar packages. In some
way the bundles became mixed,
and the young man, not knowing
the mistake, sent his sweetheart
the stockings accompanied by the
following note:
Dearest -: hope you will
enjoy this little persent, instead
OF foolish. Oh how | wish no
other hands than mine would ever
touch them after you put them on,
but | know, dear, that such
wish is vain. A score OF fellows
may touch them when | am not
at your side, and other eyes than
mine may see them on the street
and at patires. | bought the larg-
est pair could get, and if they
are too long, you can let them
wrinkle down. A great many OF
the girls wear them slipped down
a little. Always wear them at
parties. | want to see how they
fit. Some fellows have dirty
hands, and they are likely to soil
them, but you can clean them,
dear, with benzine, if you leave
thenf on to dry. hope they are
not too small. Blow in them be-
fore you put them on.
From your loving-."
The engagement is off, and if
the unfortunate young man ever
shows his mug in that end of
town he will get it knocked off by
the man-like fist of dearest ones

Hard Knock on laps.

John L. Bishop of Salina, Kan
sas, who has just returned from
trip through Japan, brings home
one bit of interesting information
regarding the japanese. He says
that in the banks of Japan the
man who handles the money is al
ways a Chinaman. The Japanese
cannot be trusted with the cash,
while the honesty OF the China
man is proverbial. On the ships
which touch the Orient, Mr..
Bishop declares that the cabin
boys and servants are Chinese.
and that ship captains will not
allow japanese servants on board
on account Of the light fingered
habits of the Japs. In the Japan
csc bank at Hongkong they en-
ploy Japanese clerks and book
keepers, but it is so arranged
that they cannot get into the cash
drawers. The Cinnamon only are
lntrusted with that responsibility.

Japanese Entertainment.

The Baptists gave one of their
usually good entertainments at
Masonic hall last Thursday eve
ming, which was attended to the
extent that there was scarcely
room enough left to put on the
drills. Great credit is due two of
our teachers, Misses Roberts and
Winfrey, for their painstaking
efforts in drilling the girls for
their entertainment.
The entire musical program
was OF very high class also.
Mrs. w. +. Debus and children,
Laura and Vincent. left this week
for Geddes, South Dakota. where
they expect TO remain for colt
pie months, visiting with old
friends.

His Wife's First Husband.

Professor James H. Hyslop OF
the American Society for Psychi-
cal Research, said, in discussion
of mediums:
Genuine mediums being so
plentiful, / can readily sympathize
with those who ridicule false me-
diums. | heard OF an amusing in
cident in this line tho other day.
A medium, after cvoking Lincoln,
Washington and other seasonable
spirits, said, In a thrilling voice;
81 see a man Of middle age,
with black hair parted in the mid
die, black mustache and a tip
titled nose. Handsome, distin-
guished, stately, and he is hover
ing persistently about you, sir
And the medium nodded toward
an elderly man with white whis-
kers,
"This elderly man started. and
then burst suddenly into tears.
His frame shaking with sobs, he
cried:
John. John, why, oh; why did
you leave me to the misery of
these past years.
"'You knew him.? the medium
asked, gently.
Knew him. moaned the ell
derby man, communed with him
daily. Oh John, he burst forth
again, why, why did you have to
die:?'
"Cpurage,' said the hcdium.
Calm yourself Though his loss
was great one, YOU may find an
other friend to fill his place
":Ne, no! Impossible! His
place is filled
Filled? What do you mean:
asked the puzzled medium.
"The elderly man, shaking his
head sadly, answered:
"'He was my wife's first hus-
band >"

IT'S . Good School.

We are in receipt OF the follow
ing communication from T. C.
Mcpherson. which will no doubt
be of interest to our many read
ers who are interested in educa-
ton for their children.
Editor Chieftain: At the last
meeting of the state board OF ag-
riculture several important chan
ges were made in the curriculum
of the state agricultural college
located at Fort Collins, the most
important Of these being the re-
establishing OF the electrical and
veterinary courses. These courses
will be under the best heads, and
fully equipped. so as to make
them equal any of their kind to
be found in the west.
The other important change
was the abolishing OF the prepar-
atory courses and placing in their
stead two years short course in
agriculture. This course is for
the benefit of those boys or girls
who have. not the time or means
to spend four years in the regu-
lar college course. There are
now five courses offered at the
college leading to the degree Of
bachelor OF science, namely: Ag-
riculture. civil and irrigation en-
gineering, mechanical engineer
ing. electrical engineering and la
dies course. These are all four
year courses.
The requirements for entrance
to the regular four-year courses
are high school diploma, or
work done in an accredited insti-
tuition. The only requirement for
entrance to the two-year short
course in agriculture is: Having
finished the eighth grade OF the
public schools. The state agricul-
tural college is a school of applied
science. so is supported by the
general government and by the
state Of Colorado, hence there is
no tuition charged. The only ex-
pense cdnncctrd with attending
this school is books, board and
room, all Of which may be obtain
ed at reasonable prices in Fort
Collins.
This institution is designed by
its instruction to promote the lib
eral and practical education Of
the industrial classes in the sew
trail pursuits of life.

George R. Momyer Goes to Cen
trail City.

Superintendent Momyer this
week received letter from the
secretary of the school board al
Central City notifying him tina.
he had. been elected as superin-
tendent Of the city schools at that
place for the coming year at a
salary of $1,000.
The many friends of Mr.. Nom
yer at this place are sorry to see
him leave, but are glad to see him
steadily advancing in his chosen
profession. Thru his untiring ef-
forts the character of the work
done in our schools has been
steadily improved until the Gra-
NADIA high school has taken its
rank with the foremost institu-
tinns of the kind in the state, says
Times.
Mr., Momyer is considered as
one Of the leading educators OF
the state and the board of educa-
tion at Central City is indeed for
tunate in securing his services.
