Men detest women who try to wear

women when they dress for it in man

object to women driving because the

Western women enjoy life. They go
in for everything in the way of sports,
and yet are feminine withal. 1t is
pathetic to see the way New York
women try to enjoy sports because they
think it is fashionable. Western women
are alive, natural, we'll built and beau
tiful. New York women are ugly, fat
and artificial. That is because they
do not take enough exercise.

FREAK. IN KITTEN TRIPLETS

James Albone of Middleport, N. Y.
gave birth a few days ago to three
kittens, which we're all fastened along
the length of their sides to one an
other. Their heads are all faced one
way and almost in line, and they are
perfect in head, body and legs. all
three being able to stand at the same
time and walk.
They are very active and bright
and were it not for the fact that they
are attached to each other by thick
strip of flesh about an inch and half
in length along their sides, they would
not seem different from ordinary kit
tens. Owing to their peculiar color,
being reddish calico, white and NAL
tese, they have been named Red,
White and Blue.
Two other kittens complete the lit
ter. The white kitten is the center of
one of the trio and seems to be the

In This Country There Are More and
Larger Game Preserves Than
In England.

They mag do some things better in
Europe, but they don't do them any
bigger, and sometimes not nearly as
big as We do in this country. Thus.
it has been the popular impression
that private hunting parks and nobil-

lord or q duke or prince-something
of that sort-to fence in hundreds of
acres and while away the passing
hour shooting tame deer and catching
pet fish. But the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. In a pamph-
let concerning private game pre-
serves and their future in the United
States" shows us that in this we were
in error. 1t does not necessarily re-

and his guests. Anybody In America
