IF YOU ARE NEARING
LIFE OF OLD MAIDHOOD

Keep your singleness and self-re-
spect until the man of your heart
arrives.
Don't insult or wrong any man by
making him meal ticket or a hu-
man rent-paying machine. That
would be unjust to both of you.
Don't marry because you are tired
of working. If you are tired it is
probably because you are lazy. for
work of some kind is the law of
health and life.
If the right man doesn't come along
live happy, free and Independent
life, filled with the best substitute
for the best thing in life.
The best thing is good home,
shared with a good husband and
children.
Failing these, which you will fail
if you marry from any other motive
than the only real one for marriage,
love, still make your life triumphant

FOR YOUR FRIEND

Nietzsche speaks very scornfully of
those who fancy they dare show
themselves as they are to their
friends.
For your friends, he advised,
wear every adornment. 1t is well
worth while to save the highest cheer,
the brightest thoughts, the gentlest
attention. for the friend.
"One should always keep some i'm
personal topics of conversation ready,
so that your thoughts together should
not huddle down to the sordid atmos-
phere OF narrow spaces. Be not only
the sunshine to your friend, but be a
broad outlook and wide viewl Love
must have space and air to thrive in"

Tur Old wooLEN sToMCKING.

THT OLD WOOLEN STOMCtAiNG.
How dear to our hearts are the scenes
of our childhood,
When fond recollections present
them to view.
The church Christmas tree with the
candles upon it,
The Sunday school kids and the
presents they drew.
But we never cared on the night be-
fore Christmas
To get all our gifts, for we'd much
rather wait
And see, bright and early the follow
ing morning,
What Santa had left in the sock by
the CRATE.
The old woolen stocking,
The spacious old stocking,
The much bedarned stocking that
hung by the CRATE
How oft we have seized it with
hands that were nervous,
Though we knew exactly each thing
that was in it,
For we'd carefully watched it all
through the long night.
Way down in the toe there would
be a big orange,
Mixed candy few, an occasional
date;
Some raisins and pecans were also
contained in
The old Christmas stock that hung
by the CRATE.
The old fast-black stocking,
The flfteen-cent stocking,
The old woolen stocking that hung
by the CRATE.
But methods have changed as the
years have rolled past us.
No longer we hang the old wooden
sock.
Now each year at Christmas we
start in to figure
And each Of our finances we're wont
TO take stock.

Can You Do It?

It's all very well to look pleasant
When your housekeeping just SO:
But the woman worth while is she who smile
When the cook says she's going to 60
It's easy enough smile sweety
Just about October the first
But you'll be worth while if you still
This winter when the pipes all burst.
And it's lot of fun shopping for presents
For everyone under the sun;
But Is it worth while--can you up a smile
When the bills and Christmas is done?

SPUR Of qzr
MOMENT
By Roy K. Moulton

FROM THE HICKEYVILLE CLARION,
Mr.. g. Mrs. Anson F'risby has got a.
new three-legged piano from the city.
She says it is a grand piano and may
be it is, but we can't tell until we
hear it play. 1t has got a pianola at
tachment. Anse ran porous plaster
through the pianola the other night,
instead of the roll, which hadn't came
yet, and the pianola played a hot
tune. Must have been a mustard
plaster.
The first opry OF the season
showed at Tibbltt's Hall last Thurs
day night 1t was a very auspicious
occasion and polite society turned out
en- masse. The opry was East
Lynne" which is one of the best
known of the musical comedies which
have appeared in New York, Boston
and Kalamazoo and other large cities.
Our dramatic critic is not on duty
today, being at home doing the wash
ing. There was one regrettable fea-
ture about the entertainment. The
audience threw eggs at the villain,
who was quite badly injured. 1t was
a disgrace to the town. Not that
man hasn't the right to throw eggs.
If he wants too That is one of our
constitutional rights, but a line
should be drawed. Willie Tumms,
pitcher of the home team, threw
hard boiled eggs.
Friends are sending fruit to Grand
ma Virgins, who is very poorly at
this writing. Ye Editor sent a can
of SQUASH. She is expected to pass
away soon. Hank Tumms says Will
lam Tibbitts, the groceryman, ought
to have a leather medal for putting
that patent wire cover over the
cracker barrel and locking the blind
robbins up in a drawer back of the
counter. Hank spends his time in
Ezra Bibbins's harness shop these
days, instead of the grocery.
When it gets so Ye Editor of TINS
paper has got to borrow a chew OF
tobacco from his society editor and
wear the devils suspenders to
church social it ought to be a sufn-
cient hint to the delinquent suoscrlp-
ers A few flrst-class funerals would
do this town good.
A postal card arrived dl VIC PosN
Office last week for Miss Angora
Bibbs. There is no such person here
that we know of. but the card says
young man will call on her here at
no distant date. Perhaps she is some
new trimmer coming to town. we
hope not, for there are enough trim
mers here now. One of them trimmed

cern. That is, he will accept 1t II

Man Hicks is the best horse shoe
pitcher in this town. Guess HICKS
must have a mortgage on Hank

ing for him these days. There are
no grass widdersi in this town, but
there are enough sod widders to
make up for the deficiency.

Speaking of Remark.

After all, the real significance
of the vote in Vermont recently
was not the size Of the Bull
Moose vote or the heavy inroads
it made into the regular repub-
lican vote, but the splendid
showing made by the democrats
who, in round figures, increased
their strength from $4,000 in
1908 to 2O,35O in 1912. This
means that the party not only
stood solid as a rock, absolutely
united, but it drew to itself a
large republican vote.
