The reason for this was that Bry-

election and did what he could to
defeat the Democratic nominee for

though his predecessor as Demo-

credited with the defeat Of the par

Previous to the state convention
which nominated Dahlman for Gov

THE SUPREME TEST OF
LOVE IS UNSELFISHNESS
By DOROTHY DIX.

want and inadmissible as evidence of
love.
The only real genuine test of love is
unselfshness toward the beloved one
and a desire to be of service TO him or
her. Whenever the time comes that you
think of somebody else's happiness and
pleasure before your own, then Cupid
has hit you for certain.
When a man is in love with a woman
he doesn't sit around telling her so, and
wasting time writing sonnets to her eye
tackles his job with forty-horsepowerr
more energy than he ever put into his
work before, because every lick brings
nearer to him the little home he can see
her in, and every burden that he takes
on his own shoulders means just that
much more ease and comfort for her.
The man who doesn't find his highest
joy in working tor a woman. and trying
TO stand between her and the hardships
OF life. profanes the name of love when
he takes It on his lips. So has the man
who unloads all Of his i'll temper at
home, and who says things to his wife
that he would not dare to say to any
husky gentleman who could knock him
down for his insults.
Nor does the woman love a man for
whom she is not willing to get up and
get breakfast, and wash his clothes, II
necessary, and do anything else that will
help him on the road to success. The
woman who loves finds her greatest Joy
in doing little menial services for her
husband. for they are glorified by the
tenderness that she put into them. She
can express more real emotion in a pan
of biscuit than would suffice for a hun
dred poems of passion.
The Washington herald., 1911-08-22

What is the real test OF love? BY what
infallible symptoms can we determine
whether we have succumbed to the ten
der passion, or are merely ailing in some
other way?
By what means are we to gauge the
feeling that other men and women en-
tertain for each other, and tell whether
their affection is purely platonic, or Of
the burning sizzling never dying, life
everlasting brand?
No other problem with which human
i'y has ever grappled is SO difficult of
solution, for love is not only like the
chameleon in its ability to change it's
color to match its environment, It also
resembles the Dutchman's wicked flea in
that when you try to put your finger on
It, it generally isn't there
Therefore II is not more difficult to tell
whether our neighbors are in love than
II is to decide whether we are in love
ourselves. and the wrong guesses that
are made on the subject strew the shores
Of time with matrin onial wrecks, ana
furnish business for the salvage corps of
divorce courts.
Things that Die Quickly.
All the oaths of devotion that have
been sworn by lovers since the world
began are nothing but hot air. All Of the
leaping of the pulses at the touch of a
particular hand, the clinging arms. and
kissing lips are a matter of personal
magnetism that Is gone when the spell
Is broken.> Even the inability to find
happiness out OF some one particular in
dividuars presence is immaterial, irrele-

MORE DELICIOUS RECIPES
FOR PREPARING CORN

Green corn is one of the best vegeta-
bles, and one of which the palate does
not soon become tired, even when served
the same way day after day. 1t is capa-
BILE of being served. however. with so
many delightful little variations that the
housekeeper will find it well worth her
While to try some of them.
To boil green corn is an easy thing TO
do, but in choosing it be sure TO have 1t
with the nail; when the grain is pierced
the milk should escape in a jet and not
be thick. Husk the corn and remove all
silk, leaving one layer of husks next to
the kernels
Put two quarts of cold water into a
deep pan, lay in ears OF corn. bring to
the boil and boil for ten minutes; add
one tablespoonful Of salt and two table
spoonfuls of sugar and boil six minutes
longer. More than this will cause the
corn TO lose it's sweetness.
Heap the corn on a hot dish, serve to
each person one ear, accompanied by a
small sauceboat of melted butter, salt,
and pepper.
Corn Pudding.
One and a half pints of prepared corn,
two tablespoonfuls OF butter. one and
a half pints Of milk. two tablespoonfuls
OF sugar. four eggs, half teaspoonfni
OF salt. and pinch of nutmeg Prepare
the corn by scoring the ears down each
row Of grains and scrape sufficient Of
the latter from the cob 70 make pint
