Widows :: :: :: :: 3

NT SEE" said the woman in
white, that a priest in
Massachusetts has preached
a sermon in which he exhorted the
widows in his congregation to
stand aside and give the young
girls chance to secure such hus-
bands as are floating around loose
in that community"
We'll, you haven't heard of any
of the widows taking his advice,
have your inquired the woman in
blue.
mo, and you won't" said the girl
in the pink hat, widows are pi-
rates, and those long wells they
wear are nothing but the black
flags that they nail to their masts,
showing that they are going to give
no quarter"
Widows are a queer PROPOSE
ton" said the woman in white in a
speculative tone. why is it, for
instance, that we speak of woman
of 40 who has never been married
as an old maid, while we call a
woman of 40 who has lost her hus-
band a young widow? Also, it is
true that a woman who reaches the
age Of 45 without ever having been
married practically has no chance
whatever of ever getting married,
but a widow of As can marry two
or three times more if she wants
to.
and the two women may be
equally good looking, and equally
well off financially. and equally
charming and intelligent. You
wouldn't think that the fact that a
woman had been married would
enhance the value of her matri-
monial stock, but it does. Even a
widow with children can marry all
around d spin, and give the pref
test young girl a run for her
money. I wonder why this IS
thus"
Pooh" replied the woman in
blue scornfully, that's easy. The
widow is the matrimonial profess
sional. while the spin is the anna
teur. and. other things being any
where near equal the professional
always wins out Any woman, not
a fool, who has been married,
knows men and their little pc
culiarities and weaknesses, and
how to work them as no unmar-
ried woman possibly can.
Did you ever notice the differ
ence between the way a widow and
a young girl talk 70 man. The
young girl babbles along about the
things she's interested in She
talks about the books she's read,
the people she's met, the parties

They expect a man to pay them
compliments. to send them flowers,
to write them notes, and to gener-
ally dance attendance upon them.
On the other hand, the widow
knows that no matter how much a
man loves a woman there is some
body that he always loves thou
sand times better, and that's him
self. So, instead of waiting to be
f1attered, she gets busy herself
with the hot air machine; instead
of demanding to be entertained she
does the entertaining; instead of
expecting the man to do things for
her she cossets, and pets, and
fuses over him.
Above all. the woman who has
been married, if she has a grain of
sense in her head, has learned not
to argue. and to keep her opinion to
herself when it differs from
mans. Also. by the time she's
killed off one husband with dvs-
pepsia, a woman has learned to
cook and keep house. and for these
and sundry other reasons a widow
IS a preferred matrimonial risk.
and a man shows good Judgment
when he marries one"
Il suppose that a wife who has
cut her wisdom teeth on matri-
mony, so to speak, would be easier
to get along with than one who
went into it just sloshing over with
all the grand and noble and imnos-
s1ble ideals that we all have as
brides" said the woman in white
That's right" responded the
woman in gray, when I think ~
the blue china l made my poor hus-
band live up to when we were first
married, and the barrels of tears
shed because he was lust human
and not a plaster saint, I wonder
he didn't divorce me. That's where
widow wins out. She's been
through the teething. and humps.
and measles and other infantile
ailments stage of matrimony. and
knows enough to drive with a light
rein. and that there's no use in
worrying over the state of a mans
affection, so long as he pays the
bills without grumbling."
I wonder why people marry the
second time?" sal the girl in the
pink hat.
You remember Or. Johnson's ex-
PLANTATION" replied the woman In
white. He said it was the triumph
of hope over experience"
Nonsense exclaimed the wom-
an in blue, men and women who
marry the second time do It for
the same reason. They miss hav-
ing somebody to knock their
faults

trait and bored air, but you can
see him writing in his chair, and
it doesn't need a prophet to tell
you that he's not going to get
caught that way again if he can
help it.
But behold the widow and the
man together, You will observe
that he is doing the talking, and
that she is listening with a rapt
expression on her face while he
discourses about himself. and his
business. and his automobile, and
the places he's been to, and the wit
ty things he said, and the good
times he had.
And the widow only puts in
enough words to keep him going,
and TO indicate what a marvellous
conversationalist she thinks he is.
And never, never, never will you
find a widow outside of the Home
for the Feeble Minded who is in
discreet enough to praise one man
to another. She remembers how
her poor, dear, departed John took
1t when she was incautious enough
TO admire some other man than
himself
Moreover, the young girl and
the spin both expect lot of men.
They represent the romantic fiction
theory OF how men ought to treat
woman, while the widow eNempli-
hes the real facts in the case.

We pause for a moment upon our way
TO watch the kids at their earnest play,
Then turn to the daily MOL and strife,
AS we captain our banks on the sea of life;
For it lies with each soul to lose or win
If his ship goes down or his ship comes in.

Look at the captains sailing their ships
Built out of matches, paper and chips!

If the race were for the America s Cup
Each watches the course with an anxious grin,
Till his ship goes down or comes safely in.

FEED SHIPPED BY EXPRESS
Lack of Local Freight Service Causes Several Logging Camps in the
 Bottoms to Close Down

MT F. G. Wilson, of Whitmore. was in the city Wednesday morning on business, the principal part being to register d complaint at the local Rock Island offices about the manner in which local freight is being handled on that section of the line. MT. Vii. son says. that east Of Round Pond, the merchants and loggers, sawmills, etc, have not had a local freight from the west since August 90. This
 lack of freight service has caused several large logging camps to shut down on account of not being able to secure feed for their stock or for their men. MT. Wilson says he has large shipment tied up at Round Pond, which had been there since August 30, and that he was compelled to miss several sales at his store on Saturday on account of not being able to secure a shipment of flour which he had purchased from the Forrest City Grocer Company This concern shipped large consignment of feed by express to the bottom country Wednesday morning.
 This condition. is caused, it is be- lieved, by the fact that the crew of the east bound local which runs from Brinkley to Hulburt, las 10 do a great amount of switching, especially at Forrest City, and besides has to handie long string of empty flat cal a Round Pond every day to be loaa tt with logs by the Round Pond 'Ietninal Go, for the Forrest City Manufacturing Co, This work was formerly done by local switch en- zine and crew which was maintained here. until about year ago. As a consequence Of having this work to do, the east bound crew is gen. erally caught by the l6-hour law at Round Pond, and has to cut and run through to Hulburt to tie up.
 While here Wednesday MT. Wilson hled a message 10 Superintendent Copley asking that he take some ac. ton on the matter that would tend to relieve the situation.

MADERO LAYS IT
ON FALL

Mexico City, Aug, ,10.-Mex
leo blames Senator Albert b.
Fall, of New Mexico, for it's
failure to come to peace term s
with General Pascual Orozco,
rebel leader.
President Madero came to
this conclusion today, and it
was based principally upon re-
ports he received from govern
ment agents at El Paso. He
made his views known III an
official statement Issued by
the department of the interior
by his authorization.
Practically all hope Of ne
gotiating peace terms with
the rebels now has been
aba andoned by the government
Rafael Hernandez, minister OF
fomento, who conducted ne
gotiatlons with Orozco near
Ell Paso, has gone to lower
California to study irrigation
conditions.
1t seems thai Orozco had
accepted the conditions" says
the nfficial statement, when
be brusquely and without
known motive, changed his
action completely. There is
no official data on the causes
which brought about this
change, but from reports that
have been received, it seems
that the determination of
Orozco was influenced by the
efforts of an American senator
A. B. Fall, who lately delivered
a speech filled with criticism
of the Mexican government"
Senator Fall has demanded
that Orozco be held personally
responsible by the United
States for acts committed
Americans.
A feature in the negotiation
which came to light today is
that Rafael Hernandez had
been authorized to extend to
Salazar, Campo, Rojas and
other leaders the same con.
dltions as were offered to
Orozco.
