New York.-The marriage Of Miss

another Of the many romances that
have begun in the surf.
Two years ago Miss Conley, wht

Mr.. Wilson became friendly, but when
she returned to New York they lost

the voice Of the telephone operator
was familiar to him. He Investigated,
and discovered that the voice be

If you have an idea that you are
too good for a picked up dinner, re-

any one else happy.
If you have chosen a pretty woman
without regard to her other qualities,
halt: you are on the wrong road.

1t is only zoo true that to refrain
from showing affection makes the
wife miserable. She does not care
for presents or lavish attention: she
wants those little tokens such as may
be given even in a look, which will
prove her husbands love. We wish
some of the good things that SON e
men are saving up to say concerning
their wives after they are dead could
be said now. A man will spend $25
to buy cut flowers for his dead wife'S

The need of some place to drop
down for a moment and tOrget things
is a crying one in most homes. There
ought to be enough sofas around to
accommodate all the family. Five
minutes rest will prevent many a fam
lily row, and how car you get rest, if
you have to pull ShamS off the bed
and roll up the O~erlid? A shabby
old lounge where you can get at it is
worth It's weight in gold; and you
won't want to die half SO many times
if you'll make use OF it. The loosen
Jag of the tension for ever so many
minutes may save your reason some
day. Don't GO out and try to walk
off your worries: don't tell them to
your friend either. Just throw your
self down on the sofa for little bit;
shut your eyes and preteud that you
have no care. The worries will be
lighter before you realize it, your
brain will be clearer and your heart
stronger to meet those that press
closest.

The Second Amendment.

EDITOR CoURIER:-I thought it
| might be we'll o call attention to
the second constitutional amend.
ment to be voted on next Tues
day. 1t may be remembered that
some Years sg, a constitutional
amendment was voted, permitting
township boards to make q levy
IF 15 cents on the S1O0 vslu alton.
This was a very great help to the
townships, out ABOUT three years
ago, the suprs M court declared
this amendment u constitutional,
because it did not apply to all the
counties of the state, st. Louis
and jackson counties. being ex.
empt from it's provisions. Some
townships have ignored the gu
preme courts declsion and have
kept ON making the levy, but
such levy has not been legal, and
no one could be compelled to pay
such tax, either in money or
labor.
The present proposed amend
ment applies to the whole state
alike and will probably stand q
test liz the supreme court. 1t
will be noticed that the amount
has been increased to % cents on
the S100 valuation. Some have
argued that this is too much, but
1t is left optional with township
boards as to whether they will
levy that amount or not. Each
township board will take into
consideration it's needs, and will
levy such amount as itmay need,
provided, of course, that no
township will be permitted to
levy more than % cents on the
S10O valuation.
