Maggie A. If he told you he loved
another and expected to have his ring
back, we confess it is up to you to re-
turn it. Buff, as you say, you had sold
the ring and didn't have the money to
return, we would advise you to be hon
est with him and tell him you had lost 1
the ring.
Jennie B. Once in a while a young
man will call on lady under the influ-
ence of whiskey. The symptoms you
describe seem like liquor, but it might
have have been emotion. You say he |
tried to stand on his head that he want |
ed to bet you five dollarsyou looked like
an old witch that he said he was mar
ried and the father of twins, but told |
you this confidentially that he loved
you better than any woman he had seen
for a week-all of that sounds little
irregular. His attempt to blow out the
gas and ignite his breath seems to be the
fatal link in the chain of circumstantial
evidence. You tell us his breath caught
on fire. That really looks like as if he
had been drinking. But we would ad-
wise you not to act too hastily, he may
have been overcome with emotion in his
de ep love for you.
Married Man. You say she put pep
per in the cake cooled your soup with
ice cream told you your mother didn't
know how to cook, and said you were a
bald-headed imbecile. OF course that
doesn't look exactly right. Itlooks like
as if her love was cooling little. As to
throwing the plate at you, you say she
knocked out your glass eye, and called
you a glass eyed pole-eat. Such en-
dearing words do not come from q wo-
man who really loves her husband. Asto
putting the soft soap in your shoes, we
admit that looks like malice, but it may
be she thought your feet needed some
thing like that. We would advise you
to bear up under this, increase your &C
cident policy and try to live on until the
tariff is revised. Write US fully and free
ly how you get along.
First Voter. You request us to advise
you whom to vote for to fill the position
of Chief Burgess. We would much pre-
fer to meet you and talk this matter
over confdentially. We have a good
, position with good pay, and do not care
about being black-listed. We are at
, liberty to say, that you would be iusti-
/. fed in taking out nomination papers
and running yourself, as neither of the
candidates measure UP to the require
ments needed by the Chief Magistrate
of a community where the main thor
oughfares are mud roads. 1t is rumor-
ed that the candidates have agreed to
fpool their issues and divide the per-
quisites, which consist of two tickets to
each show, which, ifproven, will invali-
, date their election, and you may win.
, Married Woman. If he continues to
: come home and insists on sleeping with
/ his boots on, We hardly know what to
, say. Generally when man wants to
, sleep with his boots on and can't talk
plainly, he shows symptoms of booze
1t maybe, however, he is worried ovel
something, and forgets to take them off
4 Test it year or two longer and then &C;
discreetly.
Carrie N. So you are engaged, and
e think your lover gay is not sincere. You
e say he is also engaged to three othe
girls in your community and that he ha
= a wife in Wisconsin. This seems a little
v irregular, but if he has sworn that b,
S loves you and that you can trust him
: of course that looks as if he meant busi
e ness. If he has told the other girls tn,
f same thing, and his wife is going to
have him arrested for desertion, it seem
S to us, if We were you, We would wal
until he has been arrested for desertion
q before we married him. However, i
, you have the wedding cake baked, i
S looks like it would be pity to let il
: spoil. Be sure thelicense has your mid
: die name spelled in full. Elk.
