Capt. Cruikshank

Potsdam, n. V, Jan. 26.-Capt. Bar

lage, today, almost direct from Porto
Rico, and made fruitless effort to
see his wife and family, who. for
more than Year mourned him as
dead until he was found in New York
as Dona1a douglass. BY a coincidence,
today was the first birthday of his
son, whom he has never seen. Though
announcements from the family that
there would be no reconciliation had
preceded his arrival, Cruikshank was
hopeful that his wife would receive
him and that he could see his chill
dren again. But Mrs Cruikshank was
firm in her refusal to see her nus
band and, tonight, the captain, plainly
distressed, is on his way to Syracuse.
He did not get even a glimpse OF
either his wife or children and in fact
made no effort when told her decision
was final.
Il sincerely long for "a chance to
return home and, if possible, start all

DISTINCTLY BAD TRAIT
Too Many Girls Aim at Complete Mo
nopoiy Of Men Who Pay
Them Attention..

Are you one Of the girls who is so
feaful of sharing your good times
that you steer men from the other
girls?
There are many girls like that, and
they are not loved by their own sex
iE consequence.
If it were only the unpopular girl
who acted thus there might be come
excuse for it-a man on her horizon Is
such a wonder that she wants to hold
him. But there are girls who are
bellies who are selfish about keeping
men to themselves.
Why do they do it?
Perhaps from vanity. They like to
seem the great belle Of their set, the
one with an ever-groWing string Of adj
mirers. So they calmly take every
strange man they meet as their prop
erty and take no chances by intro
ducing him to other girls.
Perhaps from jealousy. There Is
many a girl who would Indignantly
deny being jealous who presents that
appearance by her dread OF sharing
her attention. She makes a point OF
keeping her men friends and her girl
friends apart; she never introduces
save when driven to it, and quickly
follows the introduction by detract1on
of the other girl to the man, some
times by open Notwithstanding
Perhaps from selfishness. She
thinks that the fewer girls stranger
in town knows the more time and
money he will have to spend upon
her.
Whatever the cause, 1t is a poor
one and shortsighted. A girl must be
uncertain of her own power to charm
tht she fears to stand her chances
with other girls. A girl whom man
likes will be singled out by him from
the midst Of a dozen fascinating maid
ems. If he doesn't like her, nothing
can chain him to her.
And the more girl seeks to keep q
man to herself the more FESTIVE grows
that man. It is fatal for any girl to
have ownership airs with the men
that are nice to her. If the man be-
serious In his attentions he begins to
wonder if his fair one is jealous. II
he is only polite, he thinks the girl
misunderstands politeness and cools
off forthwith.
The more eligible man is the high.
or he rates himself; the more inclined
to sheer away from the girl who seeks
to monopolize him.

TO HOLD THE PHOTOGRAPHS
Neat Frame That May Be Constructed
From Materials Nearly Always
Available.

In the first sketch we show a photo
graph frame, for the front part Of
which the lid Of a cigar box has been
used. In making it, in the first place,
an exact oval should be drawn with a
pencil in the center of the wood, and
the diagram on the right-hand side il
Illustrates a simple way in which this
may be done. Two pins are firmly
fixed into the wood at points A and A,
and then piece of thin string or
thick cotton is very loosely tied round
them. The point Of the pencil (B) is
placed just inside the string, and
then the oval can be made by using it
somewhat in the manner of a COM
pass. The size and shape of the oval
will be governed by the distance the
two pins are placed apart, and also
the length of the string. Not only for
this frame, but at other times when
an exact oval is required, this method
Of drawing one is a useful thing to
know. After the wood has been mark
ed the space for the portrait may be
cut out in few moments with a fret
saw. That side which is to form the
front Of the frame is covered with a
thin layer of cotton wool, and then
smoothly covered with silk fastened
on at the back with glue or other adj
hesive. Prior to doing this, however,
