She likes some noble, honor
able man to be thought of her,
kind and cosniderate of her vel.
fare.
When we'll and beoomingly
dressed, quiet notice of it is al
ways appreciated.
A word of praise for a nice
dinner or supper often more than
oompensates her for the worry
and work of preparation.
She wants her husband not
only to be her support but her
companion, remembering that it
is the kind word that is often her
greater happiness than a new
eet of dishes, though presents
like the latter are always vel
come.
She likes to be made to realize
that she is good for something
besides q mere household
drudge.

The Charm Of LOvabIe Women.

The Charm Of LOvable Women.
Very lovable is the woman who
has cultivated a disposition an.
CELLO enough to see the good and
not the vile side of human nature
who can be 30 severe with her
own failings and excuse the faults
of others.
We are told that she is q dull,
uninteresting creature; and If we
take the trouble to look into the
matter, we fin0 that she does not
laugh at her neigbor's pet weak
ness; she does not enjoy hitting
out right and left at the world at
large, and is always ready with a
plea for unseen reasons, which,
If they could be revealed, would
go long way toward modifying
harsh judgment.
Our lovable woman may not be
witty, she may be a little prosy,
but she it is to whom we GO when
in trouble for sympathy, and
confide with q feeling that our
secret will not be torn to shreds
as soon as on - back is turned.

bot in the case, and an appeal
for a new trial will be taken to
the supreme court of the terri
tory. The Spence family are
among the best people in the
state of Missouri and it was not
until after the sentence of Frank
Spence of Prescott that they
heard of the affair at all, and
then it was not through Frank
Spence, but through some
friends of the family here, who
wrote to them, and then young
Spence hastened to Prescott to
do what he could for his uncle.
All who have met the young
man are impressed with his man.
Iy bearing and natural desire to
do what he can for his uncle.
The younger Spence arrived
here Saturday night. He is
anxious to save his uncle from
paying the extreme penalty of

R. Sullivan, for which he was
at this term of court.

We Are n Candidate.
In the issue of the COURIER

In the issue of the COURIER oil
April 1 we took the position
that the recorder Of deeds was
the best offioisl position within
the gift of the people of Charlton
county, and expressed the opin.
ion that the precedent of permit
ting any one man to hold it for q
longer term than four years
should come to an end, and we
knew of no better time to begin
than in 1910.
We also said that the recorders
office was one that any intelli.
gent 15.year. old boy could fill,
and that the large amount of
fees realized by it's holder justi-
fled the conclusion that he ought
to be satisfied with one term.
We said further that we were
for any competent Democrat who
would make an honest endeavor
to break down the former cus.
tom of giving the recorder two
term, and that il no one else
could be induced to enter the
the contest against our friend,
Wayland, the editor of this
paper would make the race in
the hope of getting "the dear
people" to look at the situation
as we do.
Our efforts to get out another
man have proven futile. and now
we are bound to make the race
or else become eligible to mem.
bership in the Ansniss club.
The difference between George
Washington and the editor of
the COURIER is that Washington
couldn't lie, while We can lie but
won't do it.
In justice to Mr.. Wayland,
however, we feel it our duty to
say that the fees of the record
sr's office during his three.years'
incumbency have not been as
large as formerly, still they have !
been pretty big, notwithstanding |
crop conditions for the past three
