~ Il am seventeen and deeply in
love with a man three years my
senior. My mother likes him. although

My dear. you are praying to marry
the man you love. With the task be-
fore you of making him over, you will
have great need of praying to love the
man you marry.
Your mother says he will never make
a man of himself. If her Judgment is
biased, or not, this remains true and of
Importance: She is looking at him
with eyes that seek her daughters hap
piness and no woman was ever happy
as the wife of a man who failed to
make a man of himself.
After love comes to a woman she
loses what we will call ambition for
herself" She grows ambitious for her
husband. and will make any sacrifice,
undergo any privation, to further his
chances. If he has a talent, she will
deny herself necessities to provide him
with the means to cultivate it, and in
numberless times when a man arrives
at the top it was with the aid of a
meek little woman the world never
hears about.
If he is content with the mediocre,
if he has no thought of the future be-
yond rent day. and is never prepared
for that, her discouraged hopes find
new life in her children. She becomes
ambitious for them and many woman

Your lover lacks every quality which

cause he will always be baby, and
he will always be a baby because his
parents have always carried him.
My dear. the task you would under
take is heavy beyond your strength.

you agree How long would you agree
if he treated you as a spoiled child

A White Lie.

A st. Louis preacher, Rev. H.
M. Liehliter, has been roundly
and soundly reproved by virtu-
GUS press because he admits that
he told a lie in order to secure o
position for an erring woman who
could get no position wherever she
told the truth about her past.
The virtuous press decides that a
lie is never justifiable. And then
the virtuous press proceeds to lie
and swear to it-about It's cir
culation. AS for DR.. Lichliter's
lie, we need not fear but that it
has been treated by the Record
ing Angel as. was My Uncle Toby's
celebrated oath in Tristan Shan
dy." Metaphysieians to the con-
trary notwithstanding, there are
such things as white lies and there
are occasions upon which q truly
'white man." such as DR.. Lich-
liter's words and works proclaim
him to be, wouldn't tell anything

IRONTON. NO, THURSDAY, JUNE 20. 1912.

tanned the House,
MILKING THE COUNTRY BANKS,
Manager Scherer of the New
York Clearing House testified to
many things before the Money
Trust Investigating committee that
will cause the country banks to
sit up and take notice.
The clearing house was shown
to be composed of fifty New York
banks. No bank with a capital
stock amounting to less than ST.,
100000 is eligible to membership.
Mr. Scherer's testimony revealed
a system by which the New York
banks gouge the country banks
and their clients out of millions.
He said that it cost 7 cents per
$1,000 to collect the checks of
country banks. The Clearing
House, he said, collects 10 cents
per $1,000, or ten times the real
cost.
The average charge per day for
collections is about $4,000. 1t
amounts to about $4,000, 900 a
year. From this fleeing process
the fifty banks comprising the
clearing house association extort-
ed sufficient tribute from the
country bankers last year to en-
able each of the fifty New York
Banks to pay an 8 per cent divi-
dend on their capital stock.
Thus it becomes apparent to
every fair-minded person why the
New York City banks and finan-
oial magnates 80 bitterly opposed

When it is a story of sxtraord-

ally comes from Kansas.
The town Of lola, fairly we'll
known because of other strange
and strenuous happenings, has
"put the lid" on tobacco; and a
dispatch from that town asserts
that men habituated to the nse Of
the weed made frantic appeals to
thephysicians last Sunday, in an
effort to get prescriptions for ci-
gars and "chewing."
About all there is in such an
item is q certain amount Of bad
advertising for the town and the
State. Yet it will be admitted
that the people who believe in lids
have as much right to stop the
sale Of tobacco on Sunday as thoy
