Love Turned to Hate.

Editor News: II war is hell" as
General Sherman declared, 1t can at
least offer the excuse that 1t rights
human wrongs and enlarges human
liberties, but what can be said In ex-
tenuation Of that super - or, rather
neither - hell that prevails within
homes where men and women live to-
gether in marital relations and yet
fight like wild beasts. Call 1t incom-
patibility, infelicity or pure human
cussedness, II affords striking smile
OF what we have been taught to re-
gard as hell. The abnegation Of d.
vorce cannot bring love to the human
heart nor harmony into home where
strife is the dominant chord. Nor yet
can any agency of society impress the
image of God upon offspring born and
reared in such home.
The most pathetic thing In all the
world is to see married people raking
over the ashes Of consumed love to
find the caustic embers of hatred that
| lie there. Better far a compulsory d.
vorce with an ocean or a continent
to separate them than to permit such
condition of society.
Love is inward, not outward. 1t is
an emotion susceptible of cultivation
from within, and upon woman de-
wolves the responsibility of keeping
the lamp of love burning upon the al
tar of the home, and If, instead Of re-
forming the world without the portals
of their homes, some women would
use their energies to teach and prac-
tice love, forbearance and restraint
within the home there would be less
need of reform outside. 1t is sadden.
ing to contemplate how many persons
there are who instead Of enriching
and ennobling their lives and charac'
tiers permit their hearts to petrify and
their senses to become blunted until
life that might have become ben
ediction exhales only poisonous mi
asma in the home.
Fortunately, however, these are but
sporadic cases, the stigmata OF oul
evolution and because they are anon
alous they occupy the limelight. Scat
tered all over the country are happy
homes where love reigns and harmony
dwells within the family circle. 1t is
the normal state Of society. 1t means
survival and a future. Therefore it is
not discussed under headlines in the
papers. No man sits down at his fire
side and discusses it with his wife
neither is it the topic for gossip or
the streets or in clubs. Let us there
fore consider the other condition as
an excresence of society and treat Il
accordingly. Observer.

THE RULES MUST BE OBSERVED
Postmaster Cannot Send writing" for
Less Than Letter Rates.

SIS there any writing in this pack
age?" inquired the man at the Norfolk
postoffice window.
Just little" the woman replied.
Norfolk people, at least good many
don't seem to know that with the post
Office department writing is writing"
Last week package containing a
of letters was mailed at the
Norfolk postoffice. 1t carried a two
cent stamp. A postoffice clerk was
suspicious and inspected the package.
AS a result the person to whom 1t
was addressed had to put up twenty
cents as postage due"
Another ruling at the postoffice is
that an envelope is an envelope even
if it is only a tissue paper affair to
carry a decorated postcard. Accord
ingly it is treated as regular letter
the postoffice clerk not being even
able to see the stamp on the postcard
although the ingenious dealer has cut
a hole for that express purpose.

T1pEsgrTER TO SING AND PLAY
Fairfax Advertiser Puts Unique Quail
fication in Ad.

nCatton IN 40.
WANTED. - Competent lady COM
positor who can sing and play piano
by note; IS per week and board. Ad-
vertiser, Fairfax, S. D." -
Such is the text Of a want ad. which
was inserted by the Fairfax Advertiser
a couple Of weeks ago in the American
Press, a trade paper for printers.
Fairfax is the county seat Of Greg
Org county and is one Of the best towns
in the northwest. Just what use Of
the woman typesetters' musical &C.
complishments is to be made, is not
stated in the want ad. Nor is it stat
ed whether she is to set type all day
and sing at night or whether she Is to
sing. play and set tpye all at the same
time all day long, like the people who
play six musical instruments at the
same time. Oswald Reiche of Norfolk
plays six musical instruments at the
same time, but he couldn't qualify for
this job because, in the first place he
can't set type and in the second place
he's not woman.
Here surely ought to be a rare
chance for some unsteady inclined
female who isn't appreciated at home.
And the beauty about 1t is that there
are NO qualifications as to age, color Of
hair and eyes or disposition.
There are a good many bachelors in
Fairfax and it may be that this was
simply snare by means of which to
lure a new supply of girls into the
town. Who knows?
