nEFLECTIONs OF A DACuELOR

Form the New York Press.
 The reason woman has a good temper Is so her husband can think he has it.
 A bad man isn't as afraid of getting caught doing something wrong as a good man is of doing it.
 There's no heroism about managing a family, and that's why woman can per r- form the heroism of doing 1t.
 A woman gets more satisfaction out of cutting a rival dead than man does out of beating his enemy at a horse trade.
 It seems as If people would go shou- sand miles to do a man bad turn where they wouldn't go a foot to do him a good one.

Oh happy heart, with laughter brimmed You gild the way with cheer, And to the eyes by sorrow dimmed Hopes rainbow doth appear When you, so fraught with mirth and
 song,
 Your radiant presence lend. He well may laugh at worldly wrong, Who has you for a friend.

 everywhere Tn speaking of Miss ran quay he said:
 One of the most thrilling of Blole stories is that of Daniel in the lion uen' Although everything else he ever did has been forgotten by most of the ousy people of today, Daniels thrilling experf- ence with the lions is familiar to every one. But, with Eva Tanguay, her visit to the lions den at Coney Island Was only one of a thousand out of the ordinary events of life that is made up of sen- sations, and unlike Daniels, 1t was not compulsory She went there to win bet, the proceeds of which were given to the ice fund for the poor.
 "Being happy by making others happy is a religion with the greatest of vaude- vile stars; so, although she frankly admits she felt enough cold chills to pro- vide the whole city with ice, she posed as the central figure of a picture with a background of lions who only few days before, had been rescued from the Dream land fire To be sure, Miss Tanguay was chaperoned by a man with a gun, who does not appear in the picture, still she says she would not go through such an experience again for many weeks of her SS5OO salary although in this case she got orly the satisfaction of knowing she would be the means of helping the poor and needy.''
