THE OLD MAID.

Why do all men, whether young or
old, rather marry a widow than an
old maid?
Since this question has appeared
i'm our Idaho papers SO often | will
and can answer it without difficulty.
A woman who has been married
once and has become a widow by
law on account of a drunken hus-
band or other causes feels as though
SHE must have beauty and talent or
this man would not have offered his
life for her hand and therefore feels
happy and contented looking ON the
bright side of everything because she
thdmks and knows that she is OF
some Importance and therefore can
win the love of any man of good
character, while an old maid is AL
ways wondering whether or not she
will ever be able to win and as she
thinks of thisshe walks to the look
ing glass and there sees her face
with many wrinkles and all her
beauty gone. She is afraid to pow
der for fear someone is going ia
notice 1T and will make i'll remarks
of the attention she is giving her old
wrinkles. She knows that no man
will ask for her hand when the world
is full Of beautiful young GIRLS and
she envies them until she is tired
of life She becomes indifferent, sui
len and disagreeable and in fact
looks SO cranky and fretful until
every man is aware of the fact and
does not wish to come in contact
with a faded rose who has SO many
thorns. H. a woman at the age of
81 hasn't had a chance to launch her
boat into the sea of matrimony DIT
would hardly be worth her while
to try thereafter.
If any of our old maids answer
this | will publish another which the
will be afraid to tackle.

been printed ON paper of different
colors, shades and quality so that
amy watcher could know who the
voter cast his ballot. People have
gone to the voting place and come
away without voting because they
could not vote without interested spec
tators knowing how each individual
voted.
1t lis not here charged that con-
ditions in the past have been the re-
sult of corrupted election officials,
but such a condition is just ground
for criticism. 1t is not known at
this time whether there will be any
contest for the office of school trlls-
tee this year. Regardless of whether
there lis a contest or not lit rs hoped
that some method of voting will be

submitted.

Ancient and Modern Boy.

We shall hear much in the coming
years about the superiority of the
Greek attitude to life, and that in
those days men could think straight
about morals. And we shall hold the
essence Of that superiority. and I'M
derstand all that we hear, by remem-
bering this-that If you told hardy
Greek boy that a person was virtuous,
or an act was good he would be at
tracted to that person or that act, but
the same modern boy would be re-
pelled--Max Eastman, in the Atlantic.

John Thomas of the First National
Bank, went down to Lincoln today to
meet President Morton and H. A..

the route to be taken from Lincoln
