FROM THE BELFRY.

1t is common folly to hasten toward
affection.
Love may be mutual and yet be
miserable.
The absent bird is not lost, and
love will return.
Woman is what she is, not what
she seems to be.
Love is in the imagination rather
than in the heart.
Pearls of love are the ones oftenest
cast before swine.
Woman makes excellent comedy
and tragedy to order.
Love cannot be defined exactly; it
can be acted perfectly.
The unwise and the unworthy
never win true possession.
Woman has been studied faithfully,
but she remains a mystery.
To be able to win love does not al
ways imply virtue or merit.
Women are always to win, and are
never to be considered won.
Professional lovers are the least
successful in winning regard.
Nature tells US whom to love; rea-
son must say when and where.
Nature confides to women the Sc
crets she does not care to keep.
The devil is not half so subtle as
woman, I0r any angel half so plau-
Sible.
Woman gives many times the
pleasure she receives in all relations
of life. She is a perennial fountain
of Joy, incorruptible unless abused.

Demonstrations at State Fair.

One of the features of the coming
State Fair which should prove of
general interest if the exhibit now
being planned by Secretary Cranefeld
of the State Horticultural Society.
In booth adjoining horticultural hall
daily demonstrations will be given in
preparing Bordeaux mixture and the
other standard compounds used in
fighting bugs and diseases which at
tack fruit aud vegetables.
In addition all the different spray
pumps and machinery used in apply
ing the remedies will be shown in
actual operation. Everything will
be here from the tiny bellows used in
busting house plants to the six horse
power gasoline engine spray outfit
drawn by two horses.
Such demonstrations as these may
easily prove of more benefit than tons
of bulletins giving formulas and
directions. Everyone interested in
garden or orchard should see this ex-
hibit. 9

In THE COURT
ofLAST RESORT

Never was l so near beat out" as
the night when l finally struck the
trail and wallowed into the alleged
'inn," days ride down from Kali
goory and two days up from the coast,
in the widest of the Australian noun
tains.
Rain? l never knew what rain was
before, and have never seen it more
than sprinkle since. You could not
breathe without sheltering your nose,
and believe one could have drowned
standing upright on the top of a rock.
When it began l was out in the bush
with two naked native helpers, plot
ting possible path, through those in
formally cratic defiles, for the new
railway that was to connect Kalgoory
with the coast.
Rain? Dear Heaven! The two ma
tives crept into cave and both were
drowned there. Four solid hours |
waded, swan, wallowed, gulped, then
more dead than alive crawled into the
inn, reminding myself of a rat l once
pulled from a mud-hole by the tail
after holding him down with a stick
long enough for him to have drowned
twice over.
Lord, how it did rain! heard later
that over in Sydney they had been
praying for rain for one solid week.
1t came all right, but there was an err
ror in billing, for in Sydney they
never got a drop of it till goodness
knows how long later.
The inn which l struck was no place
like home. 1t was only cook-while-
you-wait shack for transients who
were better used and satisfied to do
their sleeping in the open. It was
kept by a half-caste-a fellow cast
halfway between a human effort and

THE GENTLE CYNIC.

No man wants to go to heaven by
the aeroplane route.
When girl thinks she has a swan
like neck she is apt to make a goose
of herself over it.
1t sometimes seems to the rest of
US that success comes to a man in
spite of himself.
The race is not always to the swift;
but that is no reason why man
should emulate the tortoise.
Many a fellow with nc desire for
great wealth would like to be rich
enough to tell his boss just what he
thinks of him..
I saw woman buying some cigars
for her husband the other day. She
got them to match his stockings and

"Hi! You Black Devil! Whisky"


an ape-who had precious little va
riety in his larder and less in his vo-
cabulary. There were two more fugi-
tives from the injustice of the ele-
ments already established there. One
was a young priest on his way to con-
tend with the flesh and the devil up
at Kalgoory, who gave his time to re-
ligious mutterings and paid little at
tention to the rest of us. But the
other was a paragon! a marvel of
good nature and of unlimited re-
sources. But for him there would
have been hardly an obituary left of
me by the end of three mortal days
and nights while the heavens stayed
wide open and we huddled in the leak
ing inn. His other name was hard
to remember, so l called him the
Elixir of Life.
On my third afternoon at the inn,
the fourth day of the storm, it re-
ceived a knockout from the north
west, and the mud-plastered postman
stopped for a drink on his way-four
days Iater-to Kalgoory. The Elixir
and l contributed a bob apiece for an
ancient newspaper he had about him
and settled ourselves to read. Many
a fresh Australian daily is a dead loss
at a penny, but this was cheap at two
bob. 1t startled us from our stagna-
ton with thunderbolt-the murder
of Sir Robert Broadley, up at Kali
goory, four days before; telegraphed
to the coast and printed, then brought
back to us as vital news only days
ride from where it happened. There
was no evidence of robbery except
that the assassin had cut off the little
finger of his victim, upon which he
was known to have worn unique and
beautiful diamond ring. The people
looked upon Sir Robert as their deliv-
erer. They were frantic and promised
the criminal a real American lynch
ing. spiced with aboriginal Australian
tortures, when they laid hands on
him. which was sure to be soon, for
the villain could not have got far
away Every outlet from the noun
tains was now effectively guarded,
and a minute description was given of
a stranger who had been seen follow
ing Sir Robert just before the deed
and since had disappeared.
My personal interest centered in the
effect it would have upon the pro-
posed railway, and l was bordering it
when the outer door opened again.
The storm was subsi1ing as rapidly
as it came, but the fellow who en-
tered had evidently been out in the
whole of it. He grunted kind Of sal
utation and staggered to rude bench
before the open fire, where ne
dropped like a dead log, calling to the
ape-faced landlord:
eli! you black devil! Whisky! A
iugfuli Damn quick!"
1t was a fresh opening for the
Elixir. and he was in it in an instant,
bending over the fellow and gently as
woman asking what he could do for
him.

Handsome is as handsome does you

A single invitation to smile gen

Encourage kindness even If vol

Men who are prone to drift with the

unless you are dead sure they lead to
where you ought to go.
When you are looking around for a
good-looking, honest face don't you
frequently stop before the glass?
The man who is "tacking" along the
