TEN TIPS FOR MEN IN DANGER OF
MAIRlMoNY.

|. A moderate love Of fine ralment
is normal in the youth Of both sexes;
therefore, beware OF the girl that
wears TOO many gew.gaws, or too tew..
The latter may turn into a slattern--
The former into fiirt.
II. Don't mistake willfulness for
character. A strong character mani.
tests itself in poise, cheerfullness and
sensibility-not in flashes of temper
III. Don't mistake restlessness for
energy, either mental or physical. 1t
is simply the clatter OF the exhaust
when. the wheel is out of water.
w. Look out for the girl that Is
too enthusiastic over babies In your
presence. She doesn't mean 1t. II
she did, she wouldn't say anything
about it.
v. Look out for the girl that is all
tendrlls. The clinging vine becomes
mighty tedious along about forty.
VI. Look out for the girl that is
anxious 90 let you know she is pre-.
pared to overlook your faults. This
means that; for her, the market is dull.
VII. Don't mistake animal spirits
for a fine constitution. The neurotic
girl is an invalid at forty.
VIII, Don't mistake sense of
rldicule for sense OF humor Humor,
in woman, as in a man, enables her
to see things as they are. The habit
Of ridicule indicates a faulty mental,
as well as spiritual, vision. This type
Of woman is not worth supporting.
TX. Look out for the girl that has
no interest in life, except you, After
a while you'll,pall, and then she'll have
no interest at all, and bored woman
is no joke to keep house with.
X. Last, but not least, beware OF
the nagger. Her forehead is lined at
eighteen, and there are fine marks
about the corners of her mouth. Her
home will be plain He'll, and her Chill.

the Elkins basket ball team showed
on Friday and Saturday nights, on
Friday night when the Elkins Y. M. G.
A. defeated the local Normal school
team. by a score Of far superior to that
of the local boys, and then again on
Saturday night when the fast Davis
and. Elkins College team defeated the
Normal team by a score Of % to IL.
The loss of the game to the Ran
dolgh county Y. NJ. G. A. aggregation
did not mean much to theslocal lads,
but the, defeat at the hands Of D. and
Il. means that the Normal will have
i:fo defeat the Elkins bunch by good
1y score in the game to be played here
in the near future, and then will have
to ask for another agme in which to
prove that they are the superiors Of
the Elkins team, that is, If the loca.
boys are to hold the State collegiate
Championship, for which they nave
set their caps.
The Normal team returned to- this
city yesterday, and stated that they
felt fully capable OF defeating the D.
and E. boys when the game is played

ADVERTISING THAT PAYS.

That newspapers are better medi-
ums than magazines for advertising
automobiles is the conclusion Of the
Henderson Motor Car company OF In
disnapolis. II has turned TO the use
OF newspapers exclusively as & result
OF an experiment made with newspa-
per advertising on a large scale, the
results OF which are stated by the
general manager in this paragraph:
The returns from the beginning Of
our campaign were simply wonder
full. We were forced to add and keep
adding 70 our stenographic and cleri-
cal force until We were working al
most twice as many stenographers as
any automobile concern in Indiana.
And still We were behind. II has
simply been impossible to take i'm
mediate care OF the food OF kilograms
and letters OF application for the Hen
derson agency which we have been
receiving"

CLARK,s VISIT TO WILSON

Speaker Champ Clark has made his
pilgrimage to Seagirt. He did not go
there with reluctant step. He did not
rush with ingratiating haste. He
chose the right way and the right
time for doing the right thing. His ac-
ton has cleared the atmosphere of
any lingering suspicion that the posi-
bic bitterness Of a hard convention
fight might be an element in the cam
paign.
The conventions verdict had al
ready been accepted becomingly by
Mr.. Clark. Now he has validated that
acceptance. If the democratic party
had needed an example Of high party
fidelity Mr.. Clark has furnished it.
He was just fine" was Governor
Wilson's comment on Mr.. Clark's Wis.
it. The next presidents words are as
clear and simple as the speakers &C
ton. Democracy may look forward to
an Illuminating campaign
The people as whole may look for
ward TO a great administration. A
president and a speaker OF the house
actuated by a sincere purpose tC
serve the general welfare, equipped by
instinct and experience so to serve
this is the promise of the November
election.

COMMENT FROM THE CAPITAL

known political evils, was in the White
house when this panic, which was the
least excusable panic the nation ever
had, came about.
The republican party was in full pos
session Of the government when the
panic of 1873 came about. Likewise,
it was this party that was in power
when a panic came in the early part of
1884, and the country recovered from
that panic during a campaign that re-
suited in the election of a democratic
president. The republican party was
in control of all branches of the gov
eminent for four years previous to the
panic Of 1898, which was a currency
panic clearly due to the republican
silver purchase law of 1880. This law
had depleted the gold reserve so rap
idly that before the Harrison admin
istration could get out of Office a few
millions in gold were borrowed in New
York in order to keep the reserve at
more than S100,000,OOO until this ad-
thus throw the responsibility on the
incoming democratic administration.
FACTS FROM BUREAU STATISTICS.
The New York bureau of statistics
publishes figures showing that month
by month more persons were employed
in identical industries from the cleo
ton Of Cleveland until the following
June than for the same period the year
/ before.
The silver panic of 1898, which was
/ due entirely to republican legislation,
is the only one for more than half a
century that did not occur while the
republicans were in full possession of
the government. Yet republican ora,
/ tors, true TO their habit of obscuring
issues and raising false cries, go right
on trying to make it appear that dem
ocratic success means hard times.

A New York club woman declares

MUS when a woman picks her hus-

soloness. Besides. she adds. man
usually has very little money in his
pockets anyway.
This club woman's remarks sound
as if she had had experience. Posi-
bly, she is defending her own action.

AW0MANyO OBSERVATIONS


expenses that they drive their wives
into semblance Of thieving-for one
must agree with the judges that it isn't
real thieving. for the woman but takes
what is her own.
Still, she has the feeling of a thief.
And if thieving children are born to
her. should a father wonder where
they got the faint?
And yet l once heard of a man who
thought it was such a good joke to
make his wife sneak her expense
money that he never voluntarily hand
ed her a cent, but kept loose change
in his trousers pockets just for the
enjoyable purpose of watching her take
it when she thought he was asleep!
Another man held his wife so ire
sponsible in money matters that he
would not even permit her a few dol
lars in cash to spend for her children's
Christmas presents. She was too high
minded to pick his pockets. But she
taught her little daughter to wheedle
dimes and quarters from father, which
were all turned over religiously to
mother until the needed sum was gath
cred. And this was one of the sue
cessful business men of a large city.
He was hardly a successful home
man, however.
Do you know why so many women
filch little things from the shops? II
isn't because they want to steal, but
because they never have any money
with which to buy their needs. If
they are unmarried women, it's in the
blood from pocket-picking mothers.
We should not be surprised when
the sons Of these women grow up with
the idea that any means of acquiring
wealth is legitimate so long as they're
not caught. Possibly that is where the
New York club woman scents the
financiering genius. If the truth was
told, many trust heads genius might
be traced to an ancestress who had tc
resort to shady methods to get little
necessary spending money.
