The careful owner of Furs will have them
repaired and remodeled for next season.

plenty of time, ensuring more careful
and satisfactory job, and at summer
prices.
Rush orders cannot have the personal
attention that would give all work that
comes in at this time.
Every owner of Furs, whether man or
woman, can have them made up in the
1912 models as well now as to wait
until the last of the season.

told me that I'd eaten four pounds of |
dinner I'd a-hit him"
Believe me, l know what men think |
of women"
A girl who for two years has been wear |
ing masculine clothing and doing the
hard labor of a man made the above
remark, among others, when her sex
was discovered a short time ago.
To compare with the girls remark,
let me quote what a mother OF two
boys said to me yesterday:
I'VE have been very careful to bring
up our boys to be wholesome and clean
in their thoughts; to be chivalrous to
women and to regard a girl as some
thing a little gentler, more delicate,
sweeter and more refined than boys.
All this was very well until this
last year. when our boys were old
enough to get away from leading
strings to some extent They quickly
formed friendships with girls in our
own class Of society, and l was very
glad of it because had always thought
boys and girls can learn much of good
! from each other.
But when my boys began to bring
home tales of the girls they knew,
and to show by their manner that they
were having difficult in trying to
make home teaching and actual facts
jibe | was puzzled to know what to do.
The girls are actually making my
boys lose faith in womanhood. Mind,
they are girls of good family. But
they are bold, slangy, lacking in mod
,esty, hoydenish.
Now that l am taking particular
notice of them, l find they are alto
gether too sophisticated. There is no
sweet and innocent maidenliness about
them. They frankly bid for presents
and invitations from the boys and do
not hesitate TO ask a boy to take them
to picture show or skating rink or
!, other pleasure. They speak disrespect-
fully of their parents and elders, dis
cuss. subjects far beyond their age,
and ridicule courtesy of any kind In
spite of their tender years, their heads
!; are full of beaux and conQuests. They
: dress conspicuously and consciously
, Girls barely in their teens make up
their faces and act like a pony ballet
on the street | am ashamed of them
and their mothers.
"Is it wonder that l feel myself
: unable to keep my boys ideal of WON
anhood as high as it ought to be-"
: Just compare the statements of the
girl who knows what men think OF
( women because she associated with
2 them for two years as man, and OF
/. this anxious mother. Then think about
: it.
l Whose fault is it, if men don't re
spect women?

Never felt so good in my life,' said
the blond young man, as he started
the third lap around the skating pond
with the girl whose sparkling eyes and
rosy cheeks betokened her state OF
health. 81 wish this old-fashioned win
ter would keep up a while longer.
We've had a chance at some real win

Eyes, like it," agreed the girl. "In
fact, l dote on it. l never felt so well
before, either. And / know lots Of
people who have habit of being on
the sick list this time of year who
actually can't find anything wrong
enough with their systems to take a
vacation on sick leave.
But there's one thing I find incon-
venient," she went on, land that is
my awful appetite. You won't be-
lieve how that appetite of mine is
bothering me. Why, half an hour
| after I've eaten a meal I'm ready for
another, and I've gained eight pounds
in the last two months. It's dread

young man, specially when you con

Yes, it's announcement" laughed the
girl Just to show you the difference

The seven republican governors who
met in Chicago Saturday and petition
ed Theodore Roosevelt to again become
a candidate for president, based their
supplicauon among other things on the
proposition that the nation may live
and under God endure" Just how
these state executives figure that the
nation may live and under God endure"
by violating the most sacred principles
OF the theory upon which the republic
was founded and has since been sus-
tanned and maintained-that which
prescribes against the perpetuation in
the high Office of president of the time

The Lost Jim Hill.

James ]. Hill, who is sought as a
witness before the Stanley committee
in Washington. appears to be as com
pletely lost as the somewhat historical
Charlie Ross or the little boy Cudahy
when he was being entertained by the
distinguished citizen Pat Grove. The
sergeant at arms and his deputies can
not ind Hill at his house, nor at the
hotels, nor the clubs in Washington,
and they cannot determine that he is
not In Washington. Il is somewhat
like y. Whitcomb Riley's little poem.
of which We quote a somewhat ragged
quotation as We remember it, some
thing like this
They seeked him in the garnet,
They seeied him on the stair;
They seeked him in the pantry,
And they seeked him everywhere.
They could not find Jim Hill,
In no place all about
But the deputies will get you,

OHhand Advice.

Line up for what you think is right
And never mind the clatter
OF little minds that take delight
In things of little matter
This is the only test for you:
Lies here the path of dutyl
Although flung wide before your view
Has pleasure spread Its booty.
That is simple thing to say,
But when 1t comes to doing,
To saving wood and pitching hay
And duty plain pursuing,
1t takes an ounce or two of grit,
Some pounds of persevering.
Upon the valve you have to sit
And watch with care the steering.
The metaphors are mixed, wot
To fit into the Jingle.
What matters that If you do not
Lapse from your purpose single?
For in the narrow path and straight
That you have marked for action
You will be loaded down with freight
OF purest satisfaction.
Line up for what you think Is right
Let conscience be your mentor
And be prepared for it to fight,
Both sides and down the center.
Let others after pleasure flock,
Grab trinkets, trifles. candy,
But when 1t comes to taking stock
You'll be the winner handy.

The Argus Daily Story
The Hump on His Nose-By r. A. Mitchell
Copyrighted. 1911. by Associated Literary Bureau.

mere were once living in Paris two
friends, Jules Rubadoux and Pierre
Marier. 1t so happened that son
was born to Rubadoux and a daughter
to Marier on the same day. The two
got together at Rubadoux's house to
celebrate the event and. after the con-
sumption of several bottles Of wine,
made a betrothal agreement between
the two children lying in their era
dies unconscious of the pledges made
for them.
Marier in time went to live at Mar
seilles, and the two friends became
separated. When his daughter, Clo-
Ghetto, reached her eighteenth birth
day her father wrote to Rubadoux
that she had come to a manageable
age, at the same time reminding him
Of the agreement whereby she should
marry his son, Antoine.
In due time a letter came from NJ.
Rubadoux stating that he had good
cause to remember their agreement,

Age and the Presidency.

In view of the past it is interesting
TO note the age Of the present aspi-
rants for the presidency. Governor
Judson Harmon is dean Of the corps.
He is G. years old He will crowd
William Henry Harrison close for first
place in respect to age If he should
be elected president. Harrison be-
came president at the age Of IS; Theo-
dore Roosevelt assumed that Office at
the age Of AZ. These are the extremes
of age and youth in our presidential
annals.
Out of the % presidents only five
had passed at the time of Inaugural
ton the age of GO. The favorite pres
idential age has been between so and
GO years. Speaker Clark is 63 and so
is Senator Cummins. President Taft
is 81. Representative Underwood is
81. Colonel Roosevelt is SO and Gov.
ernor Wilson is 81.
Still il is the man and not the years
he has lived that count. Some men
are old at so and others young
three score and ten. Governor Har
mon at 81 seems TO be in vigorous
manhood. Senator Cullom at 81 con
siders himself strong enough to seek
reelection. Representative Cannon il

younger. Though this is a day Of

Tariff Is q Tax.

The word tax" should be substi-
tuted for the word tariff" The people
would then understand the question
better. Instead Of saying the tariff
on WOOL" it would be better to say
the wool tax" or ''the sugar tax, "
the implement tax" etc. The word
tariff is a deceiver The people
know what tax is. They know they
pay 1t themselves. The word "tariff''
has a certain ring to 1t that sounds
like it was paid by some third party.

Profits OF Beef Trust.

The beef trust packers declare that
during the years 1907. 1908, 1909 and
1910 their net profits from fresh meat
were only One-eighth of one cent a
pound.
In 1907 the retail price Of fresh meat
was from lis TO 1873 per cent higher
than In 1900. while the price Of cattle
declined in that period from se2.46 to

half a cent q pound dearer in 1910 than
