Finger Nail Pen.

Miss Lizzie Martin. an eighteen-year-
old Red Lion girl, has devised finger
nail pen, with which she does all her
letter writing, says a York (Pa.) dis
patch. The sight of an old quill pen
gave Miss Martin the idea of allowing
the nail of the index finger of her right
hand to grow to proper length. The
nail was then trimmed to the shape of
pen and split. The girl declares that,
aside from its novelty, the new pen is
q decided improvement over the ordi-
nary sort.

Men and Matrimony.

Various reasons are given why some
men choose to live in single blessed
ness when they are able to support an
Independent home and women believ-
ed to be eligible are not far to seek.
The idea has been seriously broached
In more than one quarter that the wo-
man who chooses to do so shall take
the initiative in marriage and not be
considered overbold in consequence.
1t is possible that social conditions
have been revolutionized and that a
revolution in manners must result. In
this connection a suggestive paragraph
in the st. Paul Pioneer Press may be
cited for hint as to why men some
times fail to perceive that it is not
good for them '''to be alone" Says the
Press:
Previously to twenty years ago woman
was a home article. Her contact with
mankind except when she was shopping
was largely in the home and at social
entertainments. Since that time she has
gone into more and more lines OF em-
ployment. She is as much part of the
business world as is man. In the case
of a great many women business en-
ployment and darby contact with men have
given a degree of self confidence and as
sertiveness that they would not have had
under the old conditions There are few
who have lost any essential of womanli-
ness, but there are a good many who
have lost the suggestion of timidity and
of reliance on others that appealed and
still appeals to men. So many women
learned Themselves
and show it in their manner that there Is
a tendency for men to take that ability
for granted in all cases and under all cir
cumstances. Since women unescorted
and unprotected are daily and almost
an hourly sight they are taken for grant,
ed Since they have chosen to shift for
themselves the tendency is to let them
shift for themselves
The natural man is a born fighter.
Not having battles of his own to use
up all his vim as things are today, he
is ever ready to take up the battles Of
in some such way that the single wo-
man who must make her own fortune
In life appeals to his chivalry, an ap-
peal which usually ends emotionally,
and he not only champions her cause,
but seeks the legal and moral right to
protect and defend. The woman's
readiness for this programme must be
apparent at the beginning and in evil
dence along the whole course unless it
is to be an out and out capture, some
thing which the average woman Of to-
day holds in little respect. Some wo-
men there are who say they do not
want protector. But if that is mans
instinct and he cannot exert it here is
at least one excuse for his remaining
in the single state.
Bridgeton pioneer., 1908-01-23

1t took eight years to vindicate the
majesty of the law in the case of the
indicted contractors, Greene and Gay
nor. They fought hard, but the prose-
cutor was the United States govern
ment, relentless antagonist for it
knows no sentiment about individual
moral merits, nothing but the letter of
the law and the record.
The accused were outside of the ju-
risdiction of the United States courts
over three years after the trial was
first set. Finally extradition papers
secured their return, and conviction
followed speedily. Yet for almost two
years they evaded Imprisonment. The
four year term imposed makes their
practical disability, counting from the
indictment in December, 1899, about
twelve years. Had they stood trial in
1902 they might have been free and
active men today.
