Mrs. Winnifred Harper Cooley has
described the modern woman's ideal
OF a lover:
He must have a healthy mental at
utude toward all women.
He must not eat too much, drink
too much or be lazy. The only
permissible excuses are purely
intellectual.
He must DC fond Of out-of-doors.
the woods and the sea: tender
with children. and dogs and
horses must like him.
lie must be brunette. The aver
age blOnd's brain is as colorlcss
as its matching. There must be
generous width between his
brows, and he must look straight
at you when he talks.
lie must be a monogamist.
he need not have money. but he
must have pride. He need not
have social position. but ne must
have nobility. He need not have
good family. but ne must have
breeding.
He must have large and perfectly
formed ears. Small ears mean
llttleness OF character AMI lack
OF generosity.
He must be willing to acknowledge
81 when he IS in tho wrong. He
must be an optimist. He must
be physically fastidiOus. No wO-
man who IS n real woman could
overlook physical vulgarity, no
matter how great a mans mind
might be.
lie must have a sense OF humcr. To
lack humor is TO be most truly
stupid He must not nag or
reiterate. woman OF intelli-
Fence knows enough 10 either
take a suggestion or choose a
different course wisely.
He must value many things more
than money.
There are plenty OF lovers OF the
variety. and many Of them
are brunettes. but II Winnie can name
a single one who measures up to the
rest OF the plans and specifications to
the museum with him.

A WALL STREET VIEW.

The decision Of the interstate COM
merce commission on the rate cases
handed down a few days ago has set
the financial world to thinking. Opln-
ions differ as to what the future has
In store. but the following from the
Wall Street Journal probably ex-
presses the view generally held:
on tho heels OF the confident asser-
ton of half a dozen railroad pres
idents that the railroads would
have little difficulty in convinc-
Ing the interstate commerce COM

ness OF a general advance IN

cases must come with something

lily follow that the commission

anywhere and everywhere and
under all circumstances.
What does seem reasonably assured
at this time Is that the commits
sion Is opposed TO the system By
which rates are made for much

tains. and that further reductions

THE PLAYGROUND

"Mary. Mary, Quite Contrary" is
game that requires many players to
make it attractive. One is chosen to
be Mary and the others form a line
behind her, each clasping the waist of
the player in front. One player is left
out, and he- must try to get into the
garden by advancing toward Mary, and
saying, 'Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
how does your garden grow?" Mary
replies: with cockleshells and silver
bells, and pretty maids all in row"
Then she spreads her arms out side
ways to protect her line of flowers and
to keep out the intruder, who tries to
dodge her arms and get to the end OF
the line. If successful he may remain
there and Mary takes his place out
side leaving No. to become the new
Mary at the head of the line. In order
to help Mary the long line behind hef
must be watchful and move quiclxlS
about with her as she faces the intru-
der, careful to keep the line unbroken.

MOVING BRINGS TROUBLE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1t was two years ago in FL Paso.
Tex, that we moved into our house
on the corner of Texas and Austin
streets. We had everything packed up
nicely and were ready for the transfer
man to come.
At last he came and we got every
thing loaded on nicely and had him
started down the street when a small
boy ran out and hung on to the strap
that held the majority of the furniture.
Suddenly the strap pulled loose and
three or four chairs and box OF dishes
fell upon the child, but he wasn't hurt
half as bad as the dishes were. They
were nearly all broken, but that was
not half as much trouble as we had en-
route.
Before he had gone half the way we
found mamma had forgotten her purse.
So we waited about an hour until she
got 1t back again. We had a few more
wrecks" and as we rode into the
back gate we breathed sigh of relief.
We got pretty well settled and l went
out to play with the neighbors chill
dren. 1 found them very good and
agreeable boys. Oh, how ] liked the
house. 1t had six big rooms and we
had a fine time sliding down the porch
posts.
l always regret when I think of it
that we sold that dear old house when
we came out here.

TALES OF THE TROPICS

A traveller on the Nile lately came
across an American who was in charge
of gang of natives employed in maxi
ing excavations. Long lines of men
were scraping up the earth with their
hands, placing it in baskets, and then
carrying it on their heads to dump
into the Nile, just as they did in the
days of Moses. Why do you, an en-
terprising American, work in this
way? Why don't you get shovels and
wheelbarrows?" asked the traveller.
ST have shovels and wheelbarrows,"
answered the contractor, "but the men
will not use them. Their ancestors
worked in this way in the days of
Rameses, and, in spite of all my ef-
forts, they insist on working so now.
Shovels and wheelbarrows, or any
other labor-saving device, they abso-
lutely refuse to touch"
Lieutenant Seton says that the
African cobra is known as the "spit-
ting snake" on account of its power
to throw it's venom quite a distance
into the eyes of it's enemy. 1t is a
lazy reptile, save when stirred to an
ger, when it cannot be equaled for
swiftness and accuracy in splitting at
or biting it's victim. The splitting ac-
complshed by expelling the breath
sharply through the mouth, so that
the soapy venom flies straight as
pea thrown from a pipe into the vic
TINS eyes. This cobra attains the
length of six feet and is large and
powerful. 1t is doubly formidable
from the fact that that it can swim in
the rivers very swiftly and has no
fear. In swimming. the cobra moves
along very rapidly, and with its nose
and beady eyes just above the waters
surface. Lieutenant Sefton declares
that the bite of this snake will kill an
OK, and never fails to be fatal to a
white man. There is vine which,
when the young leaves are crushed
and applied as poultice, will extract
the poison; but it seems to act only
on the native blood. since of two men,
bitten and treated in exactly the same
way, one a native, recovered, and the
white man died.

Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
We had lived in the city but three
months when papa bought a new
ranch. He bought it on Tuesday and
we were to move to our new home
on the following Monday.
l dreaded to leave our nice home
in the city, though there are many nice
things about the ranch. 1 knew that
1 could have lots of fruit that I could
not have in the city, and could pick
1t fresh from the trees.
One morning when we were through
packing dishes mamma said:
Now / am going up in the attic to
look through some old chests, and II
you want to go with me you may.
1 was very glad that 1 could go
UP in the attic to look through those
old chests.
In one of the chests we found some
handmade linen sheets which my
grandmother brought from Germany.
In another chest we found a wax
candle twisted so that it looked like
a basket or a birds nest, which my
great grandmother brought from Swift
zerland, and was used by some of the
people in that country to burn by the
bedside of the sick.
We found many other curious things
that day which I have not time to
tell about. IRENE WANIRh,

morning, and such time as we had.
1t was a rainy, wet day the first part
of last December. We were to pack
some things to take with us and some
to put in storage, as we had rented
furnished bungalow.
The hardest part was amusing the
little children. They would want in the
house and we would have to stop and
scrape their shoes and many other lit
tie things. But then we were looking
forward to the happy days that were
coming.
About O'clock we were safe in Long
Beach. We went right to the house.
Everything looked nice and clean and
log was there waiting for us to make
a fire. and fire is pretty comfort
able thing on a cold, rainy day. But
next day was different We found
everything had to be cleaned. Ther4
were supplies to get in.
On account of the rainy weather our
things did not arrive for a whole week.
Among them was our clothing, bed
ding, dishes and some furniture.
But all this does not compare with
all the good times we have had the
eight months we have been here

Dear Aunt Laurie:
