dergo all Of the hardships and privations,
and sacrifices Of matrimony.
And let us thank God that this is true.
and that II is going to be truer as women
come mors and more into their own,
and the doors, Of opportunity are opened
wider to them. Men may not have
thought of this. but the girl of today Is
the first girl that a man could marry
without suspicioning that she was marry
ing him for a support. Our grandmothers,
and even our mothers, had no other way
Of making a living except by marrying
for 1t, and our papas and grandpapas
must have often asked themselves
whether they represented their wives
ideal, or merely q good thing to them.
This generation Of women is the first
in the world who were not compelled 10
sell themselves In matrimony. The girls
Of today can consult their hearts instead
Of their necessity about marrying. and
undoubtedly that is going TO enormously
increase the pro rata Of happy marriages
As for my correspondents assertion
that girls are more anxious to marry than
men because when a girl marries she
gets q meal ticket and a man halves his.
that Is nonsense. No more girls marry
to get a meal ticket than men marry
to get s~cook 20 whom they don't have
to pay wages. And the proportion OF
both is infinitesimai.

The First Long Pants
BY C. A. RIDLEY.

Twas tonic to live in his atmosphere
that boy Of mine-when the one per-
picking question Of getting his first long
pants was settled. II had been the ever
recurring and all-hampering question OF
his boy world for the past several
months. Two OF his chums had donned
the enviable article, and for all the sue
oeeding weeks the dangling legs or long
trousers had fluttered In his dreams.
And now the thing Is fixed. The real
suit, with genuine hong pants. has been
purchased and the vision has become
reality. But the boys father finds him
self wrestling with another vision. the
passing Of the small boy.
Since he could toddle with uncertain
step that boy had been my companion
and chum. but always as my own little
boy. And now the clock is striking a
new hour. Time Is pressing unpleasant
claims upon me. Somehow | feel the
pressure OF unseen hands as they are try
ing TO pry open my fingers and loosen

grown far on toward the sunlit heights
Of manhood. Tomorrow and a few to-
morrows and the small boy will have
gone forever.
I've dreamed much and often OF the
day when he would be a man. but !
didn't know 1t would bring such moods
and meditations as these. I want him 10
be mana real man-but somehow
want him TO remain a boy also. Per-
haps l am disturbed over the seeming
break that come in our fellowship, and
yet, why should we not continue chums
and pals to the end.
But have lost my boy. He went away
yesterday, and while the shadows hung
their drapery across the world, a would
be man came in his stead. ONLY in
memory shall 1 ever see my little boy
again. Heavens blessing on the memory.

EXPRESS WHAT'S IN YOU
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

or all the various grounds of happiness
that have been imagined and advertised,
the surest Is this
To express what is in you.
The more one thinks OF that and turns
1t over and over. trying Its bearing on
different phases OF life, the more one is
convinced that here, and here alone, is
the secret OF efficiency, OF real success,
OF scientific q. C., not authoritative NOR

Just look at IT, TO express what Is in

As religion teaches US that We are the
children Of God made In His likeness,
SO our greatest pleasure is In the same
kind as His, which is--creation.
Hence, the noblest OF passions. love, in
its intensest manifestations is bound UP
with the creative instinct
No woman ever did a dlviner piece Of
work than TO have a child. TO reproduce
her own life in another life.
And to express what is in you is the
secret Of that most moral, most anti
criminal, most mind-sane and body
healthy thing in which a soul can func-
ton, towit: Work. The joy in work l
reckon the chief conserving instinct OF
the race.
For in every one Of US Is desire TO
make eomething. 1t is noticeable I'm

wood. Another man is born with sculp-
tor of marble blown in his metal, an
other with the passion to speak in pub
lie. another for banking. another for poe

Every soul comes into the world with
an Unborn craving. a propulsion in some
certain direction. Let him find and fol-

The men who are running the worlds

and writing the worlds books are not

rine lies on the Princess shoal, almost
on the same spot where the submarine

British submarines belonging to the
"a" class have been singularly un-
fortunate. The "A5" had six men

Vote Again.
Dallas-It is understood that at the
regular April session of the board of
county commissioners in this county
resolution will be adopted by that
body again submitting the question of
the permanent location of the county
seat of Gregory county. This duty is
mandatory upon the board, as Fairfax,
the present county seat, located in the
extreme east end of the county, is only
I temporary location, and in order to
become permanent seat it must re-
ceive majority of all votes cast at
the next general election. Four years
ago Herrick,. Burke and Gregory con-
tested for the honor against Fairfax,
neither of which towns received ma
ority, and in consequence Fairfax re-
NAMED the temporary location. 1t is
quite likely that Herrick, Burke and
Gregory will again make try for the
honor, with the strong probability that
the seat will remain unchanged.
