One often hears a woman say, ooh.
Jack and l are good pals; that's ALL"
IL that Is the case, and Jack Is the sort
of fellow that is easily understood, the
affair probably will not ripen into love.
But IL there is some mystery about
Jack-some sign hat there is more in
his life and character than she already
knows-she finds him a book which
grows more interesting as she goes on,
until, finally, the climax comes-per-
haps suddenly, perhaps gradually. Then
she realizes that Jack is beginning to
absorb all her thoughts. She knows,
more truly than the girl with the pass
ing fancy, that he has become essential
to her life and happiness. In this case
1T is not that lack is such a fine char
acter. but simply because he was a
problem difficult to solve.
There are thousands of cases where
women even over the age of 40 are at
tracted to a man because of something
in him which they cannot understand
at first glance. AT first he is incom-
p~rehensible, hen he is interesting;
then, as she is set wondering about
him, he becomes a fascinating study.
From that onward her thoughts and
feelings begin to flow toward him in an
accustomed groove, and, If this Is OBJ
structed or cut off, her occupation in
life seems to be gone.
1t is often a question among women
as to how they shal know when they
are really and truly in love. 1t is nom
sense to say that no woman need be
afraid that she will not know when
she really loves-that the grand pas
sion is too real and deep to permit of
self-deception. For there are those
who In a kind of summer madness
seem to have grasped the real thing
and to wish for nothing more; yet the
rood passes. The thing parading as
Cupid spreads it's little wings and flies
away. The nan they met with furious
bushes they can now onverse with

to them whether he comes or goes.

a steady wind upon a flame. IL the
flame is strong, and has good fuel to
feed upon, the wind will fan it into a
glowing fire; IL, or the other hand, ii

REACTION OF OUR WRONGS.

That now every day thing Ci
lynching Negro in some one of the
Southern states, for one alleged OF
fence or another, was deviated from
just a bit a few days ago when our
Southern mob spirit treated oklaho-
ma to a quadruple lynching of white
men. There is really no stopping of
the mob spirit. 1t will not and it
does not halt at the color line.
Take this political savagery, fer
example, that lynches the legal vot-
ing right Of the capable Colored cit
izen, mobs his political privilege,
this thing does not stop satisfied
with the injustice done the black
man. 1t passes right on over his
PROSTATE citizenship and lays out,
crushed and impOtent, the political
privileges of the masses Of poor
whites. Injustice don't draw the
color line. 1t is color blind to white
or to black. It crushes either or
both, whether whites or blacks, as
suits its purpose or design.
Nothing could possibly be more
evident than that incubating one
wrong is but leading up to that
spirit which win turn to incubating
and to nuturing other wrongs. The
general political and moral system
becomes tainted and callous and be-
gets increased and increasing evils,
all arising from one evil winked at
and tolerated, as it may be, from the
very beginning.
In the outcropping of this spirit is
the manifestation Of that impurity,
political and moral, which underlies
all The very germ and the very
core Of it all must be reached to
accomplish the correction Of the evils
arising from a polluted system. It
is the system that is producing these
manifestations and outcroppings and
our white civilization is the more
than we imagine the sufferer as a re-
suit Of our peculiar political insti-
tutions.-The Southern American,
