ON TEE SPUR
Or The HOMENT
BIZ ROY x. MOULTON.

The Bridegroom.
He isn't quite worth mention.
They give him no attention.
Ignored at his own wedding. That is
his certain fate.
He may try to look pleasant,
But folks don't know he's present:
They never think about him unless
he's one hour late.
They quite forget the hero.
They all rave Ger the shero.
The best man gets more notice than
does the poor old groom.
Though he is quite essential,
He fills d place potential,
Nobody chances at him when he
comes in the room.
They ask: "Who is the rummy,
The sickly clothings dummy,
Who stands up by the altar and sees
the bow-knot tied?"
They think he is some waiter
Who's been called in to cater,
Or else a distant cousin or uncle of
the bride.
The bachelor days are over.
No more Is he in clover.
Oblivion he's entered. Deny the
fact who can.
No more is he worth mention;
They give him no attention;
He's gone into secluSion. He is a
married man.

Neither is the tramp the only one
to confuse laziness and liberty.
1t wasn't the singer which gave the

Although they frequently get there,
few speed records are held by the pc

Men generally hate a man who is
so handsome the women rave over
him.
Occasionally a man is SO enterpris-
ing he thinks he needs half a dozen
hobbies.
If it hasn't arrived, a woman
breads the time her husband will quit
hurrying home.
When a mans hair begins to go he
might about as we'll bid it goodbye
as coax it to stay.
Sometimes economy takes the form
of bread pudding and drives a man
to the ranks of the spendthrifts.

little assistance in driving mules

PROGREsS INDEED.

China may be torn by civil war, but
they have just sentenced a Chinese
bigamist to Imprisonment for so days.
He was prosecuted by an organizatio
of advanced Chinese women and they
won their case just as if China, for
untold generations, had not been a
country where the legal rights of wives.
and women in general, were conspicu-
ously few and unimportant
One incident like this counts for
more than many things which attract
wider attention in the news of the
hour. 1t is of more real significance
as a proof of the changes going on
in a vast and ancient empire than all
of the parliaments which have yet as
sembled in Picking.
Chinese conservatism has been be-
lieved to lie deeper in respect to the
position of women and in the insti-

EVENING CHAT
Time to Wake Tn.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

1.-THE niger dance seems to find its
| origin in the crude and heather sex
ual customs of middle Africa, after
wards passing through the centers of
prostitutes in large cities where the
contributions of city savages from
Paris to San Francisco have been add
ed to it."-George Kibbe Turner.
Did you ever have the eyes of your
mind opened SO suddenly on any sub
| ject that you felt almost blinded by
the light of understanding?
That is what happened to me day
before yesterday. Like everyone else
| in this country 1 had heard more or
less about the grizzly bear" and all
its descendants down to the latest, the
grapevine" But up to the day be-
fore yesterday 1 had taken the de-
scription of these dances with that
grain of salt with which most of US
flavor any-to uS-incredible report.
I felt that either the indecency of
| these dances had been greatly exag-
gerated, or that they We're only danced
by low people who knew no better. 1t
seemed incredible to me that the kind
of people you and L meet would really
dance the kind of dances pictured in
the newspa pers.
Day before yesterday 1 saw with
my own eyes young people who came
from good CD families. and who were
raised by careful mothers, (SaVe the
markD publicly embracing each other
in a manner which would not have
been thought proper ten years ago for
a young girl and her affianced hus-
band. They called this performance
the grapevine
Seeing is believing, they say. In
this case I almost disproved that
axiom. 1 could not believe my eyes.
1 talked with one of the matrons
used to it. They do that sort of
thing nowadays in some of the
smartest houses"
I used the word Immoral and she
became quite indignant. ITO the pure,
all things are impure" she sneered.
the way you feel about it. If a girl
is really nice. those dances don't sug
gest anything to her.
L gave up the argument, but this is
the way / would have have continued
it if she had been worth arguing with:
My dear madam, no normal girl
is nice, if by rice you mean without
any dormant sex feeling; and I sup
pose that is what you must mean, be-
cause that is the only kind of girl
who would not, sooner or later, be af-
fected by the attitudes assumed in
these Dances
The quotation at the head of the
column is from a man who has stud
led this subject deeply He adds later,
apropos of the same kind of dancing,
Never before has dancing been such
a provocative to immortality
We are so accustomed to warnings
from the sensational press that we
grow careless about them. but this is
a time when the cry of wolf" really
means danger.
Now the best and surest way to get
rid of the grizzly bear" and all it's
disgusting descendants is to make
them unpopular. My hand to every
woman, young or old, who does his or
her part toward that.
