sirable in his eyes that he cannot be happy
unless he gets her. Nor is this phase OF
the question altogether easy to decide off
hand. Men, as well as women, often mis-
take a passing fancy for a deep and abiding
love. and later IN find that their affection,
being without root, withers away.
Every woman by whom a man is strongly
attracted is, for the moment, to him the
lone and only IN all the world. but time
passes. the slide in the magic lantern of
his heart is filled with another image. then
another. and as he is equally sure that
each in turn is owed with the one love OF
his life. Consistency, where it serves no
good purpose, ceases to be a virtue, and
becomes a misfortune, il not a vice.
So far as is publicly known, no statistics
have yet been compiled upon the subject,
but observation and evidence go to prove
that the average man marries somewhere
about the fifth or sixth girl with whom he
falls in love. There have been four or
five young women, each of whom for a
longer or shorter period he has regarded
as the paragon of her sex. but he has al
ready got over his infatuation and has mar
ried another, and probably congratulates
himself upon the fact that he has done so.
II WOuiu De most unfortunate Tor MIN and
for his wife II he had not.
The manner Of the refusal should weigh
in the reception thereof. Any man with
his fair share OF common sense ought to
know whether he is snubbed or the con-
trary; whether his suit is peremptorily de-
clined or merely tentatively set aside.
Another thing which the wooer should
take into consideration ls that women from
their youth up are taught to repress their
feelings, and often are stiff and cold be-
cause of the effort at repression. Almost
all women are more or less nervous, and
mirth, which Is hysterical rather thar
merry. is often resented as ridicule by a
sensitive wooer. An attack Of the kind
may dash the cup of happiness from a
woman's lips and incense her suffer past
forgiveness. An involuntary smile will be
taken for heartlessness by the man who is
desperately in earnest. A humorous word
Will be an insult, a jest a proof OF scorn.
No man can bear to be laughed at, and
his vanity IL not his heart win receive a
wound which is not easily to be healed.
1t is a pity, but women sometimes lose the
men whom they love by a lack of self
control which is misconstrued into rldlcule.

What to do next! It is a big problem,
isn't it? And to the girl on the eve of
graduation, says the Delinator, II is a
problem that assumes appalling proper
lions Yet really, II we look II straight In
the face, II isn't such an awful question,
after all. By we, 1 mean girls Of average
intelligence-not g~eniuses seeking careers,
but girls who either by choice or neces-
sity decide TO earn their own living In
some way.
IL Is Ignorance of the requirements and
OF the advantages and disadvantages con-
nected with the various phases Of profess
sional, business and home life that seems
to be the cornerstone of perplexity and the
cause Of failure In many cases. You must
take time to study the different occupa-
lions and thus decide for which you are
best adapted. Here is a chance for the
college-trained girl to show her apprecia-
ton Of the merits of thorough investigu-
ton, not mistaking inclination for ability
by persuadng herself that what she likes
to do is indenticAl with what she can do.
The sooner the artist by choice realizes
that she is a housekeeper by ability, the
better it will be for pride and pocketbook.
The first thing. then, for the college girl In
choosing an occupation, is TO find out what
she can't do; then, by e%liminative process,
to decide for what line of work she is best
fitted. considering temperament, training,
home conditions and opportunity In general.

When a mar has asked a woman to

which only he himself can answer.
In the first place, says a writer in the
St Louis Globe-Democrat. It is OF the ut

sive summary of the notable things
accomplished by Paine In the course
Of his long and busy life. It has been
said that he was the first to suggest
the idea of independence Of the col
onies of Great Britain. However this
may be, he was one of the first to
courageously proclaim this idea and to
give to the public writings which In.
fluenced public sentiment and educat-
ed the people Of the colonies up to the
idea that it was their duty to form a
separate nation and to fight for the
principles Of liberty represented in a
republic. 1t would be perhaps difficult
to say who did the most to promote
the success of the Revolution, but in
his way probably none did more than
Paine. He was one Of the first after
freedom from Great Britain had been
won to suggest federal union Of tho

He was one Of the pioneers in the
abolition movement, proposing the abOl-
ishment of the institution Of slavery
great many years before the country
was ready to act upon the question.
He was century ahead of his time
in his ideas about international arbi-
trati0n, and his arguments in behalf
Of international peace sound strangely
like those with which we are familiar
today and which come now from the
mouths Of men not usually reputed to
be lacking in sanity or common sense.
Such, however, was liable to be the
characterization of man who in
Paine's time propounded these the

He was stanch advocate Of the prin-
ciple Of human brotherhood and be-
great republic of all the nations of the
world. Education of the children of
the poor at public expense was an idea
Of his, and it is claimed that he was
the first to suggest system Of inter
national copyright. He proposed old
age pensions, such as have recently
been put in practice in Great Britain,
and he had faith to see that the pur-
chase of the Louisiana territory under
Thomas Jefferson was move which
in time would rebound greatly to the

admirers will admit, but his services

I'M HONOR on
THE forthcoming commemoratioD
of the centenary Of the death
of Thomas Paine revives inter-

"HE forthcoming commemoratioD
Of the centenary Of the death
Of Thomas Paine revives inter-
est in the career and services
of that picturesque figure of the Rev
stationary era. 1t was in the city OF
New York, ON June s, 1909, that the
noted statesman and philosopher met
his end He had survived by many
years the success Of the movement for
political liberty which he did so much
to promote, but he did not live long
enough to see the age Of religious lib
erty which now reigns In this and
many other lands. He offended many
Of his best friends in his later years
by his unnecessarily offensive and an
tagonistic way Of stating his IDEAS on
religious and philosophical subjects
and created for himself reputation In
this respect which for q time served
to eface to some extent the memory
Of the deeds Of valor and self sacri-
fee which stand to his credit as a
patriot and a worker for the cause
of American independence. His ideas
would not be considered SO radical as
to subject him to Ostracism in our own
day, and his country is coming to rec
ognize that his memory Is entitled to
respect and veneration.
This is shown in the fact that a
statue Of him now stands in Independ-
ence hall, Philadelphia, and that his
old home at New Rochelle has been
removed to a park by the HuguenOt
Association Of New Rochelle and is to
be preserved as museum of historical
! relics. Near 1t stands monument
| with a bust Of Paine, and it is at this
place that the exercises in his honor
will take place on the one hundredth
| anniversary of his death. Men emf
| nent In various callings will address
| the gathering and tell of the value of
| his services to the several causes in
| which he labored.
| Whatever differences of opinion may
exist as to the prOpriety Of Paine's
course in his later years In attacking
many Of the then generally accepted
views as to religion and theology, there
| can be no doubt that gratitude Is owed
| him for the sacrifices he made in the
| American cause during the Revolution,
for the contributions he made to the
existing store of liberal political ideas
and for the fight he made in behalf
| of political progress in such works as
his rights Of Man"
1t is admitted that he had a great
| deal to do with the writing of the
immortal Declaration of Independence
even if he was not deserving more
| than Thomas Jefferson to be called its
author. He was Washington's friend
and counselor to whom the Father
of His Country often went for advice
In times when he was sOrely tried and
perplexed as to the course he should
pursue. He served in the patriot army
as common soldier and by bis writ
ings did much to keep the discouraged
troops from mutiny and surrender. He
once headed a subscription in behalf
of, the troops by gift of his whole

In the Capital City of Washington. II
| was seventy-two years ago that he re-
ceived his first commission. 1t was an
appointment as second lieutenant,
and he obtained it from the hands Of
President Andrew Jackson
He won his first promotion for BRAY
cry in the Mexican war. He partici-
pated in Indian warfare and was for
ty-nine years old when Fort Sumter
was fired on. When the Spanish war
broke out he was eighty six years of
age But he had retired from active
service sixteen years before, with for
ty-fve years Of service to his credit.
General Rucker has seen the profess
sion Of arms undergo changes during
his own lifetime only little less revOlu-
tionary than the entire advance of
warfare from the days Of the bow and
arrow and the primitive catapult to
the methods in vogue when he was
born.
In the civil war he did valuable
work as staff officer, for which his
experience In previous campaigns had
especially fitted him. In 1868 Presi-
dent Lincoln made him brigadier
general of volunteers. and In 1865 he
was made brevet major general of vol
unteers. He was placed on the retired
fist of the regular army as major gen.
eral in 1882
General Rucker was born shortly aft
er the death Of Washington, and he
has survived all the latter's successors
In the presidential Office except ROose-
welt and Taft He Is twenty five years
older than the city of Chicago, and,
despite the many hot fights in which
he has participated, he was never
wounded or on the army sick list.
