The Fair Sex,

When a woman has no one to talk
to she writes a letter.
All women are consistent, but the
majority Of them refuse to work at
it. .
A man never realizes the joys of
life until he is married then it's too
late.
Any woman with a train to her
gown should be able to draw her
own conclusions.
The more patience & woman has
with her children the less she has
with their father.
On her wedding day a young wild
ow always wonders how many men
will commit suicide on her account.
Women always have a lot to say
abouttheir rights, but never a WORD
about the wrongs of the poor men
After a woman has succeeded il
getting a mar to say that he loves
her she begins to find him uninter
esting.
When q woman says that her hus
band is perfection lisa safe bet tina
she hasn't been married three weeks
Many a woman averages things VI

each.
It's a sure sign a man isn't mar
ried to the right woman if he sits vi
and takes notice of every noisil,
dressed female that passes.
A girl imagines that she's in low
with a man when she doesn't EMO,
flirting with other men as much q
she thought she would.

HUNTING THE DEVILFIsH.
Tho Creature Abundantly Inhabits
West Indian Winters.

Hunting the trust octopus Is one
of the dangers which the enthusiasts
tic modern scientist braves. Presi-
dent Roosevelt and those statemen
who have stood by him in getting
after the octopus Of commerce are
to be commended for their personal
courage. but after all, their bravery
is of n different kind from that Of
the man who goes down under a
couple Of hundred feet Of water and
does battle with the genuine speci-
men, with It's hundreds OF sucker
arms reaching out from all sides to
lay hold Of anything which comes in
It's way.
The creature is found in abundance
In the waters Of the West Indies. The
octopus hunter. without any protec-
ton, dives down into the water, spots
an octopus which he must carefully
decide is not too big for him to han
die, seizes hold Of one Of It's tenta-
Giles and comes to the surface with it.
Should he underestimate It's size and
strength, he Is lost. He meets a hor-
rlble death alone under the waters
a death In the meshes OF the most
lOathsOme Of water monsters. Slowly
Its Shiny arms enyelOp his body, a
sucker encircles his neck and slow
death by strangulation Is the result
for SO powerful is the hug of these
t%entacles that strangulation will be
effected even where the throat is pro,
tectod by n heavy diving hood.
