Reflections of a Bachelor Girl

Summer love and winter matrimony are no more alike than champagne and cold tea
 The average man marries woman in or der to escape Loneliness then joins club in order to escape the woman.
 To most men the drink problem is mere ly question of whether to order beer or highbal.
 Nothing disturbs man worse than to find that he has stirred up woman $ temper except to find that he can't
 There are just two endings to love af- ir-temporary despair if you are disap- pointed and lifelong regret if you are not
 Don't fancy that it is always impertinence that makes man try to kiss you it may be only cnriosity-or just to pass the time.
 The savage brings a club to the settlement of his domestic troubles; the civilized man takes his troubles to the club.

THE WATERMELON
Says the Topeka Capital

''Luther Burbank has succeeded in
 developing seedless watermelon. Now, If Mr. Burbank can develop one
 that is good to eat, the watermelon will
 be practically perfect"
 We suppose, of course, watermelons are not grown in Kansas else we should hardly have heard that particular vail from out Topekaway. Reasoning further, we suppose. the only water melon with which Topeka has speaking ac- lquaintance, perhaps we should say eating acquaintance, is the shipper article. That be- ing so, the Capitals pessimism is not unnatur- al albeit it is sadly awry n respect of truth and actual facts
 The planters grow in Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Texas and Florida, and other south em sections, for that matter, not thousands, but millions, of watermelons that are good to eat extraordinarily so, indeed. And they are eaten, but by the homefolk in the main. And therein lies the trouble that agitates the mind of the Topeka Capital. The melons cultivated for shipping purposes are not the best melons to eat--no more so than the peaches cultivated for the northern markets are the best peaches to eat.
 We all remember the fellow who cried out razors up and down--cred them up and down to sell to 'poor Hodge, who suffered with a broad black beard that seemed shoebrush stuck beneath his nose" ''To sell' to poor Hodge-mark you that mot primarily to shave him. So, also, concerning those elegant and tempting watermelons shipped north-they are grown to sell" before they are grown to eat, gentle reader. Indeed they are
 The melon with thick rind ships much bet ter than that patrican thing that boasts a rnd of tissue-paper thinness The latter is the real article and pleases the inner man the most of all-but, oh, dear, it is so delicate and frag ile that it sannot stand the stuffy freight cars and the long hauls. Under these conditions 1t wthers and grows sick at heart-it pines away. So those good southern planters keep it for home consumption, the while they send to the watrrmelonless climes thing with hide that would put to blush one of Bwana Tumbo's rhi- noceroses and which is good to eat not at all when considered in contrast with the other thing we tell you of.
 And that is why the Topeka Capital cries as one with voice in the wilderness for a bless ing that will never come. Kansas people who fain would eat watermelon in all of it's possible goodness and graciOusness must come south and partake of it on it's native heath.

TEXAS NEEDS HOUSEWIVES

cry comes out of Texas for more girls, says the Washington Herald. They are wanted there for housewives, which implies that they must be amiable and good cooks There IS no objection, be it emphaticalIy stated in the voice of this demand to the best of looks; but the ex- igency is such that the brightest beauty would be made more radiant by the ability to don a gingham apron and in the spotless kitchen evolve from the range the loaves of well-made bread noble pies, and roasts both toothsome and substantial.

RELUC rANT COUNTRY JEWELLERS

There has been created in Massachusetts a homestead commission whose work will be to secure tracts of land in the country where some of the dwellers in poverty in the city may be placed on farms. Back to the land" is cry familiar among socioligists. Here is offered an
 interesting opportunity to learn how many are willing to turn to rural life with its abundance of both work and food, and away from the ur- ban struggle for existence. A similar experi- ment in Holland has proved unsatisfactory, chiefly because the intended benefcaries would not work There has been better success in Australia, where houses and land are turned over, under certain conditions to impoverished persons. A system of rural colonies in France during the past twenty years has shown good results, perhaps because of some care in the selection of the settlers Similar work by the Salvation Army in this country, while not of long standing, has results that are considered to warrant it's continuance. The United Jewish Charities in New York is accomplishing much good by sending immigrants to the south and west, thus relieving to some extent the conges tion on the East side.
 It seems simple enough to say that persons who starve in cities ought to go to the country, where they will be next to the source of wealth, while their bodies are strengthened by healthy surroundings. But this proposition does not hold in practice. There are people who hate the country, and others who are unitted for its life. Ancestral habit does not hold The Irish immigrant of rural traditions, associates dis comfort and squalor with the field and farm To the Celtic nature the city seems fairyand of golden opportunity. Moreover the city spells politics, dear to the Irish heart. Upon the other hand, descendants of agricultural nations make natural farmers s-Scandinavans and Germans know as by instinct how to take care of them selves in the country It may be doubted wheth- CT care and instruction can make successful the assisted rural colonization of those who live even the lower and hrrder life of the city

THIN FOLKS MADE PLUMP
SamOse Ideal Flesh Builder Says
Leading Druggist.

If you are thin. it is because the food
you eat is not assimilated and passes
through the system without building up
the flesh and tissue as it should.
You can readily get plump and rosy
by using Samose, a tissue forming food
which. when taken with the meals, i'm
mediately becomes a hesh-building and
life-giving element in the blood
Use Samose for a few days. and in
crease Of lie, Nigor. and weight is felt
and you viii notice yourself getting
plump and rosy.
Samose builds up the system, puts
flesh on the bones, brings back the
glow Of health to the pallid cheek, and
removes the tired and Ianguid feeling
which is the result of exhaustion and
low vitality.

Trying to Clear Sutton's
Name Is Impressive.
MRS. ROSE PARKER
Is DRAMATIC FIGURE
She Shows ShrewdneSS, and Re-
mains Cool Throughout the
Inquiry's Session.
By THEODORE H. TILLER.

ANNAPOLIS, July 23.-When Lieut..
Robert =. Adams, flushed with anger
and with dOgged determination, repudI-
ated practically every word of a con-
versation that Mrs Rose Sutton Parker,
sister of the dead lieutenant, says she
had with Adams al Annapolis nearly
two years ago. he laid the foundation
for future scene that is 70 be the
most dramatic, perhaps. of the entire
Sutton inquiry.
In other words, Lieutenant Adams has
made it imperative that Mrs. Parker
who played the role Of a feminine de-
tecttve as soon as Jimmie Sutton had
been laid in an alleged suicides grave,
should go upon the stand herself and
tell what occurred during this four-hour
talk with the officer implicated in the
midnight campus fight
Adams said that be was warned that
the woman who had sent him word that
: she wanted to see him was "a shrewd
young woman" He says he went to
= her apartments on his guard. so to
s speak; that he made no admissions
about the beating administered her
E brother; that he didn't confess TO having

E an uncomfortable hatred toward him.
s Mrs. Parker evidently lived up to her
new-made reputation and appearance of
{ being shrewd. She says that she took
a memorandum of everything that was
said: that she went over il and re-
-hearsed IT when Adams left and that
she intends to tell it all. If she does it

.portance when he said:
{ "She sent word she must see me
alone; that the other officers whom she
summoned could come in groups, if they
liked. I went alone; but she didn't get

DISTRICT ESTIMATES

trenchment, to Compls
With New Law.

Retrenchment all along the line in the
preparation of their annual estimates is
the order issued to the heads Of the va
rious departments of the District Gov
eminent by the Commissioners.
This is made necessary by the para
graph in the last District appropriation
bill, which provides that the Commits
sioners' estimates for the expenses Of
the municipal government for any fiscal
year shall not exceed in the aggregate
a sum equal to twice the ai1ount of
the total estimated revenues or the Dis
trict for such fiscal year.
While the official estimate of the reve-
nues for the fiscal year 1911 has not yet
been received. Commissioner mcfarland
said today that he did not believe they
would exceed S6,50O,OOO, ana would prob
ably be less.
All Charges Included.
All charges against the District ap-
Precipitation fund must be taken into
account under the new law.
Assuming that the amount is IS 10000,
$4,000 will have to be set aside for the
repayment to the National Treasury Of
money advanced to the District for
extraordinary improvements. This will
leave 100000 net, which, witt a like
