NOT UNDERSTOOD.

Not understood We move along asunder, our paths grow wider as the sea- sons creep Along the years;l we marvel and we Why life is life. And then we fall asleep
 Not understood. Not understood. We gather false inn pressions, And hug them closer as the years go by Till virtue o4en seems to us trans gressions; And thus men rise and fall, and live and die. Not understood Not understood. Poor souls With stunted vision Oft measure giants by their narrow gauge; The poisoned shafts of falsehood and derisiOn Are oft impelled 'gainst those who mold the age,
 Not understood Not understood The secret springs of action. Which lie beneath the surface and Are disregarded; with self-sausfac- ton We judge our neighbors, and they often go,
 Not understood Not understood. How trifes often change usi, The thoughtless sentence or the fan cied slight Destroy long years of friendship and estrange us. And on our souls there falls a freez- ing blight.
 Not understood. Not understood. How many breasts For lack of sympathy? An, day by day. How many cheerless, lonely hearts are breaking? How many noble spirits pass away [se Not understood? Oh, God! that men would see little clearer, Or judge less harshly where they can not see; Oh, God. That men would draw little nearer To one another, they'd be nearer Thee.
 And understood.

 covered Marriage Was Fraud.

Washington Gossip Interview with "Bob" Chanler - His Marriage With Cavalieri Very
 Costly List of 20 Notable Women Made Up by Illinois Equal Rights Association - Shopping the Hardest Kind of work.
(By' Miss Isabel Martin, Special Cor
 respondent of The Farmer.)

(By Miss Isabel Martin, Special Cor
 respondent of The Farmer.)
 Washington, Dec. 13--"No more in ternational marriages for me. Take it from one who knows-the interna- tional marriage is worse than a cItme; it is a blunder."
 So speaks Sheriff Bob''( Chanler, who recently returned from Paris af- ter arranging the legal details for a divorce, and incidentally, finding an outlet for all or part of $200,000 he borrowed on his New York realty holdings just before sailing. It was reported in the newspapers immediate sheriff had settled with the beauti- full Lima Cavalieri for $70,000, plus expenses, and that the actual divorce would be granted within a very few weeks.
 You see,'' continued Bob, TT am back after hurried trip toA Paris, and came back almost free. At least I papers will be ready inside of five weeks, I was assured, and then it's me to the tall timbers."
 Chanler admitted that he was swept off his feet by the wondrous beauty of the singer, but now that 1t Is over with-or about over with-he admits that tn the future, should he decide to take another whirl at matrimony, a plain, ordinary American girl will suit him.
 "If I ever marry again. he con- fided, 'it will be woman who thinks at least as much of her husband as she does of her looks. I have had my lesson, and it has took. as the small boy says. However, the beau- ty of Calakeri is glorious. You may say that for me-"
 The Illinois Equal Rights Associa- tion, not to be outdone by Andrew Carnegie, who recently compiled a list of the worlds twenty greatest men, has made up a similar list of women, collectively entitled, they say, to as much credit as MT. Carnegie bestows on his male heroes. The list fol- lows: Mary Baker Eddy, Carrie Harriet Beecher Stowe, Jane Addams, Ella Flagg Young, Emmaline Plank hurst, Clara Barton, Florence Night ingale, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Su- san B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, George Eliot.s Elizabeth Browning, Charlotte Bronte. Margaret Fuller, Sarah Bernhardt, Mrs. Raymond Rob- ins, the Rev. Anna Howard Shaw and Mime. Curie.
 Carrie Nation and Lady Tennessee ClafTn Cook also received several votes, but not enough to entitle them to rank With the 1mmOrtalS.
 The manager of a big department store in New York is out with the explanation that Shopping Weari- ness'' is due to the fact that women do not eat the right kind of lunch cons.
 women should eat their heavies' meal at noon,'' he says. Then they would have something to sustain them in the hard work of making the rounds of the stores. Shopping is the hard est kind of work, in that 1t requires an extraordinary amount of nervous energy If women would eat hear ty meal before starting out on thei. shopping expeditions, instead of 2 cup of chocolate and a, wafer sand witch, they would last longer. So many women regard shopping as pleasure, however, that they do nd stop to realize that it also is req hard work

Watkins Art Store

You know how you appreciate a Christmas card from some friend whom you imagined had forgotten you. You can make someone else feel the same by preparing list and then calling at Watkins Art Store, 1091 Broad street and selecting cards from the complete line that is being dis played and sending them. An art store is an attractive place at any time of year, but particularly so at Christmas time when you need sug- gestions. Watkins line of bric-a- brac, pictures and readymade frames is most complete.
 Christmas Trees Arrive.
 Of the many kinds of fur trees used for a Xmas tree, the most suita ble one is the balsam fur which holds it's needles longer than the ordinary spruce, and it is very fragrant when in the house. John Beck 6. Son, the leading florists, have secured a most excellent lot of these trees direct from Canada, and they surely are well worth seeing by those who in- tend having a tree this year fine holly has also arrived and it has good dark green foliage and a nice lot of rich, red berries, in fact anyone sec ing their display at their store would not be tn the slightest doubt of Xmas being near at hand again.

TEETH NOT A. LUXURY.

False teeth are necessity, not a luxury, and husband is legally bound to furnish them for his wife, if she needs them. This is not the opinion of a medical or humane society, but the solemn verdict of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin. Un' ess an appeal is taken to the United States Supreme. Court, on the ground that this decis- ion deprives the husband of life, lib- erty or property without due process of law and therefore unconstitutional- ly, this prOnouncement will stand as the law of the land. The Journal of the American Medical Association says that it is doubtful if there is any other State which has thus safe guarded the rights of it's feminine citizens. Married women in need Of teeth should at once move to Wis cOnSin
