ACT AS SPUR TO MANS PRIDE.
Love and Belief Are Powerful Agents
 for Reformation.

Love and belief in a man can never hurt him. It will always act as a spur to his pride, which is invariably close to a mans love, whilst it has little or nothing to do with womans.
 Even when the schoolboy falls in love with the little girl in pinafores, his first instinct is to acquit himself in her eyes in some magnificent way ito knock out some other boy. or in- timidate foe.
 This instinct remains with men un- til they die, just as girls from the cradle or inspired by love seek beauty to appear lovely in the eyes of their adorers.
 And the masculine pride and prov ess and strength are what the wise girl will use in her desire to reform some man who is merely weak

Men Do Not "Naa."

Men as husbands are not so faithful as women; they are not so tender; they do not forgive, as women do, con. duct which disgraces them publicly; they are not so patient with physical pain; but they have a shining virtue they do not nagl
 It Is not like a man to thresh out an old injury after every grain of cir cumstance has been extracted and the lail raises nothing but dust Nor is it like a man to tumble into the traps of his own logic and rescue himself by a burst of temper or a flood of tears. Men fly into passions over trifies just about as much as women, and often more violently. Their language, for in- stance, in regard to overdone beef steak frequently is not fit for lady's ears. And it seems irrational to be upset, as men are, by the misbehavior of collar buttons. Still, 1t may be ad- mitted that while they fly into pas sions they do not fly into the same passions again and again And when they forgive they forgive; they do not simply take the offense away and put 1t in cold storage.
