As I said, he is very bashful and loves me dearly. though he is too bashful to tell me so Being leap year, would it be all right to sort of hint about it, or do you think it would make me seem coarse?

 "They gggle and make remarks about me. One day one said What nice teeth he has got As am better looking than the average fellow, think they must be in earnest in try ing to attract my attention.

THE brusque young man IS not gen
 orally popular with the fair sex.
 l But where is the woman who IS
 not glad to know her fate in a short time, rather than to remain dubi- ous over the intent of the young man who is always courting? She remem-- bers that he was quite devoted to halt d dozen different girls whom she knew. How can she be sure that he did not whisper just as sweet and tender words and clasp their hands just as tenderly as hers when mothers head IS turned away? The young man who is known to be always courting deserves the name of male flirt " which is tackled on to him. Even girl who might be disposed to think seriously of such one is quite fearful lest she give her heart into his keeping in vain.
 He might be always counting and nothing more Love making, without the hope of being nearer and dearer, will in time pail upon the most ardent nature. Counting has its season. It either blossoms into matrimony or withers in the bud. The only reason that many girl accepts such man IS the foolish fear that she may never get another offer of marriage, in fact, be laid on the shelf. Even after she ac- cepts him she is not sure that she will be able to hold his love for all time.
 The man who is always courting be- fore marriage is the one who forgets to make love to his wife after marriage. He forgets that he won her with kisses and caresses and words of endearment.
 It is a mistake to believe that the of the tender passion left to disburse. every man will marry his first sweeth prove all that his fancy painted.

 Have known both for nine years and they always act the same to me.

No doubt my keeping so steady company with him has given him the idea I would marry him, which in all probability I would if I did not happen to renew old acquaintances with the young man out of town.

But she is persistent about going with other boys, yet she proclaims her love for me in the most endearing terms. We are en. gagged, and think that out of regard for my feelings she ought to give up other fellows. but she is indifferent as to the way I feel about that, or anything else for that matter I am thoroughly at loss as to how to handle her indifference. will appreciate 1t inn mensely If you can enlighten me, as you see am in quite dilemma.

::kAh!{ss' htii1usNhesW IF all the men were turned out of one

 in judging dispositions, tastes, likes, and dislikes. There would be no tangle, whatever in love affairs, thus eliminat- ing the delicious piquancy of uncer- tainty which now exists, giving zest to the selection of heart mate. Among all the world of men there are no two just exactly alike. Even the most ex- perienced coquette is not so versed In the ways of men that she will know just how to take the next man that crosses her path.
 Thus it happens that a woman may be attractive to score of men, but fail to win the one man whom she cares for most of all.

Most men choose for wives the last person in the world whom one would think they'd be attracted to.
 The subject of man and his love is so profound that no one will ever be able to fully master it. The learned lawyer who has been so busy boring over musty books and gathering in golden shekels, whose heart one would suppose could only be captivated by college graduate, is more than likely to be at tracted by the exact opposite of wom- ankind-a little widowed seamstress. It isn't her brilliancy which appeals to him.

An Encouraging Outlook for Breeders
@H And Feeders = ~

The record price of $3.50 per hun.
bred was recently paid for q carload
of fat steers at the South st. Paul
market. This price has never before
been euualled at this market for car
load lots. Such prices for beef cattle
mean that the animals are produced
at a profit to the. breeder and feeder,
even at the existing. high price Of feed.
1t is not to be expected that future
prices for we'll finished cattle will I! re-
main as high as this. It is to be ex.
pected, however, that prices will rule
high for a long time to come. This il
due to the. fact that there is a: big
shortage Of meat animals of all kinds
Severe drouth during the past two
years has made it necessary to dis.
pose of q large number Of breeding.
cows from the ranges and farms. A
very strong demand for veal calves has
also cleared the country Of large
number Of calves that should have
been retained on the farms, to be fec
for beef. A great many breeders have
during the past winter finished cattle
at wide margin, due to the increased
price Of all classes Of cattle since q
year dSO. Ills CudI CdtC1C
feeders have probably made as mucl
OF more money, during the past winter
than in any previous year. There ar
many instances where farmers hav,
received from $40 to $50 per acre TO:
their corn by disposing Of it in feeding
steers. This not only means tina
these men made profit in disposin,

| they have retained on their farms
large amount Of fertility that other
wise would have been disposed Of an
| shipped out to the markets Of tn
world. It seems safe to predict tina
| the future is exceedingly bright TO
feeding Of beef cattle. This should b
an encouragement to beginners, espe
cially where it is possible for them t
produce part Of the stock on their ow
farms and get the cattle onto the mai
ket at young age. It is not to b
expected that the profits will be a
large as they have been during the pas
season; because, as feeders must b
purchased, they will command highe
prices than year ago. But if the
can be put onto the farms, carrie
through the summer on cheap pasture
and finished next winter on bundl,
corn and other cheap feeds, it wi
mean safe disposal of the corn Gro
