WHEN THE ROMANCE FADED
Piain-Spoken Husband Came to the
Point With Few Words of
Unvarnshed Truth.

Congressman Jim Mann was on his
way back from Chicago, and couldn t
help hearing the conversation of the
couple in the section right behind
his. They looked like newly married
folks, says Nack's National Monthly,
but were not on their honeymoon, as
Mann learned by deduction. The
woman laid down a newspaper she
had been reading and said to her hus-
band:
do you know, | wish | had one
of these affinities. oh, | think 1t
would be just grand to sit on a rock
with somebody and have him rave
about the incompatible golden color
of my hair and tell me that my eyes
were the most beautiful in the whole
world, and"
"Uh, huh" said the husband, yawn-
ing.
And that the delicate pink of my
cheeks had been painted there by the
angels, and that he couldn't live with
out me. Ooh, think an affinity like
that would be"
"'Tisn't an affinity you want" in
terrupted her husband. What you
seem to want is a plain, old-fashioned
liar"

say it myself Mr.. Russell That's
what we always used to call them,
heart hunters. and their minds don't
go any further than hunting them,
and letting them go as soon as
they're caught"
Russell remembered the whole con-
versation now as he stepped into the
little shadowy schoolroom. low-ceiled,
cool, with fern boxes at the windows
and lunches of June roses on the
desks. Rose was her name, too, he
RECOMMENDATIONS Phillips. She
turned her head now, a quick smile
of welcome and surprise on her face.
Did you come to wish me good
by?" she asked.
Russell could not help but smile
back. He laid his cap on one of the
first row desks and stood looking at
her as he drew off his gloves. She
could not have been over eighteen.

HEART NEEDS ESPECIAL CARE
Strain on the Vital organ Must Be
Avoided When Middle Life Has
Been Passed.

THE death by heart failure of Gen.
Frederick ID. Grant," says the Medical
Record, emphasizes the repeated
warnings of the medical profession
that we should treat a senile heart
with respect. AS far as we know
there is not the slightest disagreement
on this one point-every human heart
over fifty, and perhaps over forty-f1ve,

E~it Eout being ruined or at least dam
Aged. A very slight man may go
Through severe muscular exertion with
I but little damage, but a heavy man,
like the general, places on the heart
and arteries a hydrostatic pressure be-
yond the safety point, and it never re-
covers.
THE pitiful feature of this deplor-
able death is the fact that Gen.
Grant in his last annual report had
called attention to the opinion of life
insurance examiners that army Off
Iers were becoming poor risks on ac-
count of the increasing strain on their
profession. 1t is safe to predict more
deaths like Gen. Grants, unless we
treat the heart of a man over forty
Eve with more gentleness.

advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
