DECLARES CUPID
AVOIDS COLLEGE
WELLESLEY SENIOR COLDLY CON.
FEssEs ONLY PLAIN GIRLS
NEED EDCUATION.

Boston, Mass, Feb. 27-The reason
the college girl often is more unat.
tractive than her sister who marries
and stays at home has been revealed
by Miss Ipogene Kelly, editor of the
Wellesley College News, and Welles.
ley senior.
In brief she asserts that the college
girl herself would be married and not
pursuing intellectual courses if she
we're fairer. In setting forth her opin-
ions Miss Kelley says:
Most of the girls who come to col
lege do so with an object in view,
namely, to educate themselves in or
der to better make a. living.
Why Education is Sought.
"The girls at Wellesley, as rule,
are not beautiful and for that reason
these girls must educate themselves
for the time when they will go out into
the world and be obliged to support
themselves. If>they were more attrac.
tive they would be married or engag-
ed and there would be less pressing
need for college education for them.
''The majority Of college girls pos
sess that quality Of looks which warns
them that it Is better to prepare for
future self:support than to depend on
the chances of marrying.
Untidy Habits are Acquired.
"The average woman in college does
not think 1t worth while to be particu-
lar and scrupulous about her gowns
and what she wears, because she fig
ures that only girls will see her. AS
soon as she enters college the habit
begins to grow on her Of dressing
hastily.
SIN. little while it is affixed habit
and bad one. 1t Is combined with
the habit of hurryin to class, hurrying
to meals. hurrying to study, and other
hurry habits. which go a great way to-
ward making one look slipshod and
carelessly attired and hammered"

or this city, was at the throttle, and
Fireman Norton also Of Burlington,
was on the left side looking ahead,
when the accident happened. The train
had just passed Sandwich which is be-

miles out Of Chicago, when the crash
came and Fireman Norton saw q
shower Of gravel and sparks fly up
from his side Of the engine. He knew
what was up and took q header into
the tender coal pit, narrowly escaping
serious injury from the flying rods.
Engineer Cowdrey realized the nature
of the trouble at once and applied the
emergency, brakes. He was assisted In
this by one of the ends OF the broken

The side Of the engine where the
break occurred was almost entirely

little Of the cab left by the time the
train was brought to standstill.
AS soon as the extent of the dam

with it, and 80 on until by the aid of
five locomotives Cowdrey managed to

Considering the nature Of the acct

congratulating themselves on getting

Police Chief Peter Gallagher and the
Ottumwa policemen are searching the
city for a stranger who came to OF.

Ottumwa man told Chief of Police
Gallagher that the stranger offered
him Job as manager of his farm near
Harrisburg, Ill., with salary Of 500
month and part Of the products OF
the farm. The man represented him
self to be the son of prominent

the farm Of 260 acres intending to
move there but had later changed his
mind and desired to have some COM
petent man /. run it. The Ottumwa
man and the stranger entered into a
contract, the local man accepting the
position. The stranger stated it
cost 500 to charter a car and pay for
railroad transportation between OF
tumwa and Harrisburg, Ill. On &C.
count of the influence Of his father, the
stranger stated that he could get
cheaper freight rates and asked the
Ottumwa man to turn over to him
the money for transportation charges.
The Ottumwa man asserted that he
did not have sufficient sum of money
SO the stranger stated that he would
pay half of the freight charges. The
Ottumwa man turned over $3.50 to
the stranger packed his goods and was
ready to depart for his new home In
Illinois. The stranger failed to return
and investigation showed that he had
left the city. Several other Ottum-
vans looked favorably upon the prop
osition and had gone so far as to sign
contracts but it is not known whether
they turned any money over to the
stranger for freight charges or not.
