THE SAFEST ACE TO TAKE A

ries him need never give herself a mo-
ment's uneasiness as to his loyalty. He's
seen the whole generation OF charmers
and passed them by for his ideal, and
the fiattery OF the thing Is enough TO
keep a woman dazed with happiness.
Moreover, the man Of forty has sown
his wild oats. He is ready to settle down
and be as domestic as the house cat. and
he is almost tearfully appreciative OF the
efforts a woman makes TO make him g.
good home. Finally, to gild the lily and

Begins to Deteriorate.
At fifty a man begins to deterlorate as
a matrimonial proposition. His habits
have become too fixed. He has settled
into the narrowness OF old bachelorhood,
and he cannot adjust himself to married
life. He is used to spending his money
on himself, and II hurts him like pulling
a tooth to have TO divide it with a wife.
He is accustomed to the perfection OF
club service, and he gets grouchy because
a woman with one cheap maid can't run

French chef and English buffers.
The woman who marries a man OF
fifty can count on being bossed good and
plenty, but very often fifty is able to
offer some very attractive chromos in the
shape OF automobiles and country places
along with itself. Still, girls, don't marry
a man Of fifty unless you are sure that
your middle name is Patient Grizelda.
As for sixty. beware! All old people
are tyrannical, and the elderly husband

On the other hand, attention is called

recently giyen to a woman starting on

THE EARLY FISHERMAN.

There are trout fishermen who think there is as much good luck in the first fat trout as there is in the early worm, and these are getting their tackle ready and preparing to make the first start to whip the old trout streams.
 And the early worm is recognized Hs good bait, but he does not appear in trouting lore as the angle dog," but as the "barnyard hackle' The country boys who fish instead of an gle do not know much about flies, and care less-they like to show the fish they catch with pure food.
 The angler with a costly outfit takes 8 different view of this matter and he depends upon the artificial flies, but not a few are in doubt as to the correct use of these and there is wide variance of opinion as to the proper combinations. An old and suc- esssful trout fisherman says:
 'On several occasions we have sue ceeded in getting rise with the fly when persistent use of the worm had shown no sign of life in the pool A
 
 killing than the same fly on a larger hook"
 The ideal trout weather is not when the season opens, but about the time the apple trees are in bloom and the water is warmer Trout are not lively in snow water and have not the gayny spirit that sunshine and an agreeable temperature inspires.
 The age of trout is denoted by its size and the two or three year old fish which are from to IS inches long should be the best. At five years of age they should be 10 inches in length.
 But there are men who regard a good 3lalf-dozen at the opening of the season more of prize than full creel at the seasons height, and these mon of large hopes and watering mouths are going to do the brooks on the first day. whatever the conditions.

THE NEW WOMAN AND THE NEW
 EDUCATION.

This appears to be an age of mash CTS and Jack the Huggers and it ap- pears to be in keeping with the times to teach the new woman how to de- fend herself against male offenders of every sort.
 A New York woman proposes to teach young women how to handle hatpins, hammers and stones, and she might add knives and revolvers. as an efficient manner of checking the in sulting males who insist upon ogling or flirting, or hugging them. without the formality of an introduction or considering their feelings upon the subject
 These men who wilfully impose their attentions upon women in the streets, in places of amusement and the troll ley cars deserve to be given a recep- tion which will improve their esti- mate of and respect for the gentler sex and convince them rude attentions are as periIous when a woman is un- attended as when she has an escort.
 No decent citizen has any respect for such a man and the courts are never lenient towards them. The wo- man whose tastes revolt at the idea of personal encounter should appeal to the police and have such fellows arrested and presented to the court.
 The court that doesn't give them rhe extent of the law for their offense cer- tainly deserves to be recalled and nev- CT be given a chance to come back.

A GOOD sUGc EsTIoN.

The suggestion has been made to the Business Mems association that the city have 8 municipal art society for the purpose of beautifying the city wherever the opportunity is seen for such efforts. The idea seems to be to have a landscape artist look over the city. sketch out needed and desir- able plans, not only for improving and beautifying the city, but 10 plan the locations of public buildings to en- courage the growth of the city. and then work to them gradually that the buildings may become necessity.

QUESTIONING WASHlNGToNS
 SINCERITY.

There are certainly two sad things about Colonel Roosevelts campaign, and these are his misinterpretation of the recorded utterances of Washington and Lincoln. As George Harvey says in the current issue of the North American Review: The crowning glory of Washington was his declin- ing 8 third term. He says Wash inEton embodied Truth His were words of probity and fidelity. And his act signalized the confirmation in fact of the profession which had been 9d- vanced in theory of the perpetuation no less than the mere establishment of popular sovereignty. It was a mo- tification to all the world of the actual beginning of the greatest experiment in government ever known, of the experiment which has conserved the liberties. the prosperity, and the hap piness of a population already increas- ed thirty-fold, which has driven arbi- trary rule out of the western hemi- sphere and which has cut the founda- tions from under the tottering thrones of Europe"
 The people have never doubted  Washington's sincerity, and they can not be led by the willy and ambitious politicians to put new and lower estimate upon Washington than has any generation since his day.
 That Mir. Roosevelt is not another Lincoln is apparent enough from his temper and his utterances. No one can imagine Lincoln in the field to discourteously succeed a friend and an acceptable chief executive, or fighting for position against public and par ty sentiment. Lincoln measured up to Washington in every noble quality of character; and when Mir. Roosevelt followed Washington's example all his admirers expected him to honor it and when he failed he stood to them as a bitter disappointment.

Senator Root is a close friend of Theodore Roosevelt, and has been most highly praised by him as man capable of filling any office in the gift of the people but he is not going to follow the example of Senator Lodge and remain neutral, for he sees his duty and is determined to do it.
 He has accepted the invitation to be the permanent chairman of the repub- lican state convention in New York in April, which indicates that he is for the administration and will fearlessly speak for it. The address that Sen ator Root will make on that occasion will pe worth reading.

By vote of 76 to 67 the Murray amend ment. providing for votes for women, passed when it first came up for act ion, Hardly had the result been de- clared, however, when Assemlblyman Cuvillier, who has consistently oppos- ed the legislation moved to reconsid- CT the vote and lay the motion on the table. His motion prevailed by a vote of 69 to 67, This had the effect of pre- venting the bill from going to the senate, After this death blow had been dealt the cause" Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blateh, who had been leading the fight for the bill, said; We were greatly pleased with the victory, and We think there was parliamentary flaw in the defeat
 The parliamentary flaw to which she referred was that a vote of 69 was permitted te annul the action of a constitutional majority of the assem- bly, Assem0iyman Murray afterward raised this point, but Speaker Merritt held that MT.

TAFFY VERSUS EPlTAPHY.

It is an immense shame that more of the praise given men after they are gone couldn't have been given them while they were here with us in the flesh. Fitting as any post-mortem eulogy may be, it would have gained in being rehearsed at least some years before the funeral. The flowers should not all be kept to adorn the casket. A few bouquets to the living would prove generally the more satisfying tribute.
 The value of judicious praise we do not begin to estimate. Under the stim- uIus of a few appreciatiye words al most any of us will do better work. Even before they can understand artic ulate language children are soothed and inspired by approving smiles and disturbed and repelled by signs of dis pleasure.
