CADDHG GIRLS.

Have attracted the attention OF
William Allen White, the Kansas
edit who has won a national repu-
tation. In his paper he says:
The mothers of this town have had
lesson-but it doesn't seem to have
done them any good. There are just
as many girls gadding around town
after school now getting their mail
from private boxes in the post office
as there were ten days ago. Two
years ago the Gazette went after the
mothers of Emporia for neglecting
their daughters and the result was
that half dozen private mail boxes
were discontinued and lot of little
girls that were in the habit of CAD
ding too much were kept in for a
time.
These girls are now developing into
fine young women, but another
crop of gadding girls has come on
and the Gazette hopes no one S
modesty will be shocked by saying
these little hussies ought to be
spanked good and red. They are
between "a and IT years old and are
just so everlasting boy-struck that
they can't sit still. Tftheir mothers
knew the type of boys and men
young human pups-these girls are
running with their mothers would
throw fits.
But their mothers know nothing
of the situation. They think their
little girls are so sweet and pure that
nothing can harm them. The truth
is that these children are made of the
same kind of mud that we are all
made of and they are just as liable
to temptation as older people and
thousand times less experienced.
And their mothers let them CAD
Commercial street after school and
Airt with all kinds of men, and then
their mothers wonder how the devil
got them and think the girls must
take after" their father.
Having set the situation clearly
before his public, Mr.. White INDUCES
in the wisdom picked up by expert
ence and close observation. There
is deal of good common sense in
what he says, and while it is little
far-fetched, yet 1t is worth setting
before the parents and young girls
Of this vicinity. Listen:

will keep girls straight at '::the age"

Rainbow Tinted Fishes.

The remarkable brilliancy of col
or in the fish living about the coral
reefs in tropical regions has been
often noticed. Brilliant blue with
fins and tail of bright yellow, vivid
crimson shading of into a more sub
dued hue, bright green spotted and
banded with red, green with long
parallel stripes of blue and red,
green marked with red above and
bright blue below-such are some of
the colors displayed by the fish of
the Great Barrier reef of Australia.
In order to explain such brilliant
hues on the principles of natural Sc
lection they have been described as
warning colors." The fish are
thought to be nauseous or poisonous
and to proclaim this by their bright
eolors. As regards those of the
Australian coral reef, however,
many of them are said to be excel
lent eating.

HONEYMOON IN A CAVE
MASON COUNTY GROOM CARRIED BRIDE
TOA ROBINSON CRUSOE HOME.

A story of the most thoroughly un-
ique elopement and honeymoon ever
experienced in West Virginia comes
from the upper end of Mason county
and if its equal has ever been perpe-
trated by any young couple entering
upon married life in the Mountain
State, it has not been heard of, says
the Huntington Herald-Dispatch.
Sampson Tillotson and Mary Lively
were sweethearts whose years had not
yet reached the point where the teens
turn and real life begins. Time and
opportunity threw them often togeth-
er-often because ofthe objections of
the parents who felt that they were
entirely too young. Young Tillotson
wanted to get married. The fact that
he only owned an old Barlow knife
and a yearling calf made no difference.
He felt that with the ceremony per-
formed life would take care of itself
and all he would be required to do
would be enjoy the bliss attendant
thereon-in Laura Jean Libby's best.
The parents told Sampson that
there was nothing doing and that if
he triedit, he would be forced to dine
from the mantel piece for some time
to come, and warned the parents of
the would-be bride-elect and then
was when all sweet solace of daily
companionship ceased. The sweet
hearts couldn't stand that and pre-
pared to elope, which they did late
at night, stealing away through the
windows in approved fashion and were
married at $50 O'Clock the next
morning before a justice of the peace
at Pt. Pleasant. The wedding took
place ten days ago and from that
time no trace of the young couple
couple could be discovered and it was
only known what had happened to
them when they rounded in at the
groom's home yesterday looking per
fectlv happy, but little bit hungry.
Then they told what they had done
and it was a story of the oldest
honeymoon experience ever enjoyed
by West Virginia couple.
For days before the elopement the
groom had worked fitting up cave
back in the hills more than mile
from any habitation, had stocked the
place with food consisting mostly of
canned goods and such things as he
could purloin from the supply at home
and there he took his young bride,
who reared among the hills herself,
felt at home in her unique surround
inGs. The young husband killed
rabbits and squirrels and game birds
and the menu varied daily, but after
a while the supply of substantials
gave out and they were forced to bid
goodbye to their honeymoon home
and go back to civilization and stern
realization of the fact that married
life means work even though it be
coupled with all sorts of affection.
At present the young couple is liv-
ing at the home of the groom's par
ents, but they will have story to
tell their children in the years to
come that will surpass in interest
most honeymoon tales.

ROBERT c. NcERsoLL's LAST POEM.
[By REQUEST
We have no falsehoods to defend
We want the facts;
Our force, our thought, we do not
spend
In vain attacks,
And we will never meanly try
To save some fair and pleasing lie.
The simple truth is what we ask,
Not the ideal;
We've set ourselves the noble task
To find the real.
If all there is is naught but dross
We want to know and bear our loss.
We will not willingly be fooled
By fables nursed;
Our hearts by earnest thought are
schooled
To bear the worst,
And we can stand erect and dare
All things, all facts that really are.
We have no master on the land
No king in air;
Without a miracle we stand,
Without prayer,
Without a fear of coming night;
We seek the truth, we love the light.
We do not bow before a guess,
A vague unknown;
A senseless force we do not bless
In solemn tone.
When evil comes we do not curse,
Or thank because it is no worse.
When cyclones rend-when lightning
blights,
It's not but fate;
There is no God of wrath who smites
In heartless hate.
Behind the things that injure man
There is no purpose, thought or plan.
The jeweled cup of love we drain,
And friendships wine
Now swiftly flows in every vein
With warmth divine,
And so we love and hope and dream
That in deaths sky there is CLEAN.
We love our fellow-man, our kind,
Wife, child and friend.
To phantoms we are deaf and blind
But we extend
The helping hand 10 the distressed
By lifting others We are blessed.
The hands that help are better far
Than lips that pray.
Love is the ever-gleaming star
That leads the way
That shines not on vague worlds of
bliss,
But on paradise in this.
We do not pray, or weep, or wall;
We have no dread.
No fear to pass beyond the veil
That hides the dead.
And yet we question, dream and CUES
But knowledge we do net possess.
Is'there beyond the silent night
An endless day:
Is death door that leads to light:
We cannot say.
The tongueless secret locked in fate
Wedo not know. We hope and wait

a Hint TO the Eat.

An exclusive diet of milk Is de-
clared to be a positive, cheap, and
comfortable remedy for excessive fat.
According to a German professor,
Moritz, of Strasburg, milk, and no 9TH
er article of diet except a very little
water, will absolutely reduce flesh,
and with no danger. The allowance
varies, from a bit over two pints, to
three and a half pints daily, taken at
stated times. II is declared to be
filling and satisfying, and the patient
suffers from neither hunger nor thirst.
Prof. Moritz says that "One patient
lost sc pounds in 81 days of treat
ment." The cure is said to be espe-
cially beneficial when the patient has
heart or kidney trouble.
