MISS NORToN'S
DAIRY
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Paul Whitehead, one of the star
boarders at that fashionable north
side boarding house, THE Pines
believes that every unmarried wo-
man should keep q diary. In MS
humble opinion it Is an aid TO matri-
mony that double discounts the
efforts of the shrewdest and most ex-
perienced matchmaker ever known.
IL 1t had not been for the diary
kept by Miss Norton. whose presence
for a long time was more of an or
nament to "The Pines" than his own,
he insists that he might still be a
bachelor. He will tell you If you
can get him to falkland he is a
singularly reticent and unconlmunl-
cative sort Of fellow--that for long
while he was in love with Miss Nor
ton and didn't have the courage to
tell her so.
Miss Norton's fears were the other
way around; for she dreaded lest
Paul, who was so bashful that he
wouldn't take his own shadow into
his confidence, should neglect to ask
her at all She did all in her power
which was as various as 1t was
great--to encourage him.
During those trying days Miss
Nortons sole comfort was her diary.
to the secretiye pages OF which she
contided not only every movement of
her uneyantful life but also every
though that agitated her active mind
and every emotion that stirred her
tender heart There are in this
world some men, more or less big
oted, whose claim it is that women
can't think at all. To confound

these men with an indisputable ar
gumeGt we quote a few lines from
Miss Norton's diary:
wednesday June 1S.--Cable
broke again In Office fifteen min
utes late. Boss said, with sarcastic
smile, that it's about time that |
make allowance for cable and get
up fifteen minutes earlier. Consider
him too mean for anything He
might learn manners from Paul
Whitehead. Spent1S cents for lun-
cheon, so cents for ribbon-the
ribbon was bargain. Must be
more economical with lunch money.
/ don't know just what to do with
the ribbon, but there will come a
time. Paul not home for dinner;
moped all evening. Mr.. DRESSER
asked me out for a row in the park;
turned him down.
Friday, June 20.-Cable broke.
Twenty minutes late. Boss says II
this keeps up he will install a new
car system at his own expense.
Twenty cents for luncheon. Fifteen
cents for dipped caramels. Office
boy 5 cents for taking back the rib
hon bought on Wednesday. Cost OF
living keeps going MP. Walked home
to save car fare. Glass of ice-cream
soda, 10 cents. out for row in
park with Paul. Moonlight. He
didn't say anything. Suppose
shall have to tell him | am in love
with him or else he won't find it out.
Thursday, June 26.-Cable stuck
In tunnel. Boss mad. Made six
mistakes in taking dictation. Boss
says sarcastically | must get my
mind off that young man and get it
on business. Wonder how he knew
was thinking of Paul? Did not go
out to luncheon to-day; wanted to be
economical Twenty cents for candy
and soda. Five cents to Office boy
TO buy ribbon | sent back last week
| Out with Paul. Moonlight. No
thing doing. Though he might ask
me.

But why should we longer OBJ
trude on the privacy and the
intimacy OF Miss Norion's diary when
we have learned enough from 1t to
eonfouad those skeptics who sheer

who rail al her inability to think
profoundly?
At any rate the important point
is not so much just what the diary

Canal building In this country had stood prac-
ticaIly still for many years when the construc-
ton of the barge canals in this state was au-
horiZed and that step was criticised by many
as a reversion TO an antiquated and nearly
useless system Of freight carrying. There has
been already a change of public sentiment IN
this state regarding the barge canals, for Colo

opposition to them has entirely died out. IT

WE'LL PIT,

Secretary Root has enriched the literature or
American statecraft with an eplgrammatc eH-
position of this countrys policy toward its
weaker neighbors at the south, which VIII be
remembered and cited by the side of his prede
cessor's characterization of American foreign
policy as combination of the Golden Rule and
the Monroe Doctrine. Speaking of the smaller
countries around the Caribbean and of the
hard times some of them are having in their
efforts 10 maintain stable and decent govern
ments he said: First. don't want TO take
them ourselves; second. don't want any
foreign ma lions 10 take them for themselves;
and. third. want TO help them, and we
will"
The case could not he better put There Is
not an item in the statement which is not in
accord with the long established policy of our
government. There Is not one which Is or can
he construed menaCng offensive to any
body There is not one which should not re-
ceive the hearty approval and support of every
thoughtful American citizen.
And for starter. why not apply that ad
mirabe policy, practically, 10 our very near
and very needy neighbor. the Dominican Re
