"The fickeIness of Women. F"

What manner of woman is it who
will engage herself to be married to a
man and have her wedding invitationn
printed and while on her way to the
post-Office to mail them, meets up with
a former beaux and jumps into an auto
mobile with him and speed away to a
neighboring town and our married?
Such an occurance as the one related
above, did actually happen week or
two ago in the Blue Glass region of our
state, according to daily newspaper
report.
What happiness can that young lady
expect out of her married life? She
promised one man to be his wife, and
the fact her having the wedding invita-
lions printed and ready to mail, was
one evidence OF good faith that she
thought she loved him. But. alas! when
the other fellow came into her sight
her mind was changed in the twinkling
of an eye as it were; and she chose her
first love rather than the one she had
already promised to wed.
Do you suppose that the young man
who placed his his infinite trust, Il
might say in a girl whom he must
have loved with all his heart, will ever
again have the same confidence and
faith in womankind that he had before?
The young man can best answer that
question himself. He knows his own
feelings better than anyone else, He
gave his heart in good faith, doubtless
! to girl in whom he trusted and after
she had toyed with it as long as she de-
sired, she cast it back at his feet wound
ed, sorrowful and with all the happy
anticipations of the future ife banished
from it.
In my Judgment it is very great
wrong for any girl to trifle with man s
affections this way, and it is also a
greater wrong for a man to treat agirl
in such manner, and l believe that
either woman or man who is guilty of
such conduct will suffer the penalty in
the days to come because the Divine
Ruler of the Universe hath said that the
unrighteous shall suffer for their
wrongs.
Ex-Gov. Robert L. Taylor once said
this of girls:
THE prettiest thing ever saw wore
dresses, the sweetest thing ever sur
veyed had mouth like crimson bow,
and two bright eyes that looked like
two little heavens with angels in 'em,
and happiest thing ever beheld wore
slippers. and tripped like fairy on the
horizon of life's bllssful morning.
When add the dress, the mouth, the
eyes and the slippers all together
have the sum of beauty, sweetness
brightness and happiness and that is
you. | never see you that l do not
think of rose buds and music and love,
and why should not think of them?
Rosebuds are the prophesies of full
blown beauty, music is the incense OF
the soul and love is the soulitself
Gov. Taylor may be right in great
many cases but have seen instances
where this beautiful tribute could moi
be appli ed truthfully. Fred Mclean.

Mr.. j. c. Eubank, of Cane Valley,
has received patent on his harrow,
and advertises it another column of this
paper. In fact there are several in use,
and those who have tested it are loud in
its praise. 1t is a steel harrow, a
sh ped, adjustable, to open or close,
with clamps to tighten the teeth,
so it not only overcomes the worry of
the old wooden frame of loose teeth,
but can be made to cover much or little
ground. Its general appearance was
sufficient to induce the editor of the
News to place one in the field believing
it to be the best tooth harrow he ever
saw. Look up the ad. and do it al
once if you need a good harrow, anG

What Is Prosperity?
From Golfers.


How many noses the census man can
count is not the most accurate barometer
of communty's prosperity. million
of population means less than prosperity
enough to furnish well paid jobs to a mil
lion persons. A sensible Million Club
has been organized by the Commercial
Club of Cimarron, Kan, for the purpose
of urging the farmers Of Gray county
to make an effort to raise million BUSH
els of wheat in 1912 and triple the av-
erage yield. This season the state has
a crop shortage. and in few Of the
western Kansas counties farmers have
been talking of resorting to a plan used
in ''hardpan days'-borrowing seed wheat
of eastern neighbors. The club makes
this unnecessary Club dues are to be
paid in seed or money: the fortunate to
contribute to the pool, the less fortunate
to borrow from it: and all are pledged to
labor to increase next seasons crop. The
members are to attend experience meet
ings in various country schoolhOuses %
talk shop, and are to hear lectures by
professors of the State Agricultural Col
lege and by q soil expert. This infOrma-
! ton will be supplemented by the study
of a series of bulletins on conservation
of ground moisture. Gray county Is one

sentation in the state penitentiary.

The now famous motorboat Dixie w
won the second and final race for the
British international trophy for motor
boats ON Huntington bay last Tuesday.
When she dashed across the finish line
amid the din OF screaming whistles and
cheers from the assembled thousands
afioat and on shore there was no second
boat in sight
When the second boat did finish -
minutes II seconds later, it was the
American boat Viva. The victory of the

The Disturber II. after striking an OBJ
struction, was beached to save her from
sinking. The Dixie " covered the thirty
mile course in - minutes Sc seconds
her average speed being 33. 40 knots, or
$50 statute miles, per hour. Without de-
tracing from the splendid two-day per-

Prominent" Lynchers.
From the Toledo Blade.

Naturally the employment of stock
terms leads to the unconscious distri-
button of transformation. One learns
from the dispatches from the scene OF
a lynching. for example. that the
mob was led by prominent citizens.
We do not believe that this is true.
There may be disputes as to what
constitutes prominent citizen. but
the chances are that the man who is
found in the van of crowd of muir
derous towards is prominent only at
the lynching. 1t stands to reason that
the beast who lusts for blood in this
particularly vicious way is a meek and
cringing cur at other seasons. 1t is
his common nature to crawl 1t is his
instinct to stink and fawn and quail
in the presence of decency and man
hood Only when he may take the life
of a fellow creature as a hyena might.
with safety to himself, does he become
at all prominent" The rats of alleys
are brave when the natural enemies
of rats are gone away or are helpless.
1t Is best for the reader when he
notes the overworked phrase in his
newspaper to remember that the re-
porter is more often than not rushed
for time and is likely to say some
thing less in keeping with the exact truth
than he would say were his lot more
blesseu( with leisure.

Happier French Schoolboys.

From the London Saturday Review.
a real revolution has taken place
in the last twenty years in the life of
French schoolboys 1t is a fact that
the boys used not to be happy in the
lycees. The lycee was invariably placed
in a town. frequently in musty monas-
tic buildings confiscated at the revolu-
ton. and often terribly cramped for
space. me regulations devised by Ma
poleon were purely military. The boys
were not shut in, they were imprisoned
with inferior ushers. who treated them
as corporals would treat soldiers. The
professors never lived in those bar
racks. and their natural impulse was.
even more than today. to leave the
place the moment their class was over.
The head master was merely fly
wheel constantly changed without
anybody noticing any difference;
neither he nor anybody else had the
least influence on the tone of the
school, and morality was what it could
be in such circumstances.
A great many OF the lycees have been
