Consolation for Women Who Do Not
Enjoy All the Advantages They
See Others Have.

Women are taught very wrongly
about love. They are allowed to read
love stories at a tender age and form
totally fatal notion Of love.
They see themselves as charmers at
a very early age. They begin trying
to captivate. to charm, to enslave the
opposite sex. before they are out of
the nursery. They live and die
many, many of them-without ever in
the least understanding the truth
about love or. In fact, about anything
else.
Women are very envious by nature.
There seems to be plenty of 1ustiflca-
ton in this one way you look at It.
Why should one woman have luxury,
ease. travel. society and fine clothes
and another woman have only toll
and loneliness and privauon?
This Is a useless question. We
cannot explain the Inequalities of life,
but there ts an answer to the woman
who asks this question. It Is this:
The more barren the field the greater
the privilege Of creation. You have
a chance to see what you can find by
the way Of Joy and beauty: you have
an opportunity to create your own 1t,

Funka, father of the girl, was led to

hope for his recovery, a deposition
was taken from the wounded man.
He said the trouble was caused by
Watson, who was not participant
in the game of cards, but looked over
the shoulders of the players and
made audible remarks about their
hands. Belton Hanna said that he
lost his temper and struck Watson;
that Ben Hanna drew his pistol and
the battle then became general.
Ben Hanna was shot through the
head just above the ear and was al
most instantly killed.
The Hanna bays were unmarried

There has been howl raised by
the Blease supporters because the
newspapers published the statement
of Jno. P. Grace in reference to
Blease. These self-appointed guard
ians of the newspapers and public
morals claimed the statement was too
dirty to be printed, yet it was not
near as dirty as the speech made by
Blease at Bamberg, with ladies lis
tening. 1t sure makes a difference
whose OK is gored.
