CREE OF GOD OF LOVE.
History's Pages Record Sacrifices

Up All for tho Sake Of
"the Ono Woman"

That love often makes a fool of
cleverest men" history furnishes abun-
dant proofs, ever since (and long be-
fore) Mark Antony fell under the spell
OF Cleopatra's dark eyes and crowned
a career Of folly with suicide.
Sheridan reveled In the role of
hackney coachman for the pleasure of
driving his adored Nightingale of
Bath" to her home night after night
and exchanging love glances with her
under the eyes of her unsuspecting
father; and Canning put on groom's
livery and did stable work for the de-
iight OF escorting, as groom In at
tendance, his masters daughter on
her daily rides.
william Pitt, most unsentimental of
men, as he considered himself, was SO
intoxicated by the charms of pretty
maid Of Devon that he drank To her
health in canary out of one of her
dainty shoes; and Mr.. Sellwood, not
able man OF his day, actually served
as footman in the house of the lady

her husbands death set her free to
accompany him to the altar.
And so it has always been-from the
German baron who had his right hand
cut Off because it had accidentally
struck the cheek of the woman whose
little finger was more to him than his
whole body, to the gilded young
French nobleman who served years of
apprenticeship to the law and won
fame to prove to his lady love that he
was not the butterfly of pleasure she

There is no year that does not yield
its crop of similar stories Of men who

great to win lady's favor. When the
youthful Count Francis Erbach sue

whom he met one day when riding in
the' forest at Erbach he determined
that she and no other should be his
wife, cost what it might. That Anna
Schultz earned her daily bread at the
washtub mattered nothing to this heir
to great dignities and to estates val

fathers anger, fled with his peasant
maid to London, and married her-a
disinherited outcast.

1t is but short time since the heir
to noble Italian house was lathering
cheeks in the shop of Clerkenwell
barber, as the first fruits of similar
adventure in matrimony. Son and heir
to the Marquis di Castro of Naples, he
had turned his back on title and for
tune at the bidding of love in the form
OF pretty young dressmaker whom
he took to London to wed.

WHAT DAWSON MISSED
PAWNBROkER ALSO OVERLOOK.
ED A "oooD THING"
A. Il Turned Out, suIt Was Really
Worth More Than the $5 Which
"uncIe" orudglnoIy Gave Up
for Collateral.

At 7 o'clock Dawson yawned, turned
over, then yawned again. Stimulated
mentally by physical exertion. he be-
gan to think. Apparently his mind did
not dwell on pleasant themes. for he
groaned dismally.
Broke" he said; dead broke, and
nobody to borrow from. What beats
me Is how l blew in all that money |
started out with last night. / could
swear l put some Of it away for safe
keeping, only 1t amt here. recollect
that l turned my pockets inside out
the last thing before went to bed and
it wasn't there"
For proof that Dawson's recollection
in regard to his pockets was correct he
had only to look at his clothes, which
were scattered about the floor. The
pockets were still turned inside out.
They hung limp and empty. Clearly
1T" was not there.
There's only one way out" Dawson
decided. 1--WE got to pawn something.
Dawson opened his closet door On
the nearest hook hung new suit that
had been brought home from the
tailor's two days before.
That's the thing" he said.
Dawson folded his suit neatly into
paper box, dressed as hurriedly as his
shaky condition would allow, and head
ed guiltily for loan office.
will you let me have $40 on these
things?" he asked.
The broker shook out the suit with
an air of aggravating disrespect.
"Ten dollars?" he said. why, there
amt $40 worth of goods in 'em. I'll let
you have SIS. That the best l can do"
Dawson looked with diminished ad-
miration on the suit of clothes which.
incasing his own trim figure, he had
surveyed with such satisfaction in the
tailor's window three days before.
WELL" he said, make it five. l
suppose that will do"
Dawson was wretched all morning.
He continued to grow in wretchedness
each succeeding day Many things con-
tributed to his misery, chief of which
was his unusual popularity. Everybody
who had ever invited him to anything
before, and some who hadn't, seemed
suddenly possessed with a mad yearn-
ing for his society and urged him to
go somewhere. All this hospitality
Dawson was obliged to decline because
he looked too shabby.
On Saturday evening Dawson was
again in possession of his own clothes.
Just for exercise he ran his fingers
through his pockets. Presently they
struck something that crinkled crisply
under his touch. He withdrew his
hand, looked dizzily at what it held
and keeled across the bed.
"Of all the Internal FOOLS" he said.
II wasn't mistaken, after all. l did
put some Of 1t away. | don't believe
any other idiot on earth ever pawned
for IS suit of clothes that had $40
tucked away in the pocket"

Foxy Old Kaiser.

Kaiser Wilhelm decided that the
new war automobiles that his army
is going to use should be SO con-
structed that If one Of them broke
down the dispatch the war lord might
be sending to one Of his generals
could be delivered promptly instead of
waiting until the old buzz wagon would
go again. So he had them built with
big pockets on the side, and In each
of these motorcycle will be carried.
Then, If something goes wrong with
the motorcar the motorcycles can be
used to deliver the message.

To Clean Satin Collars.

The white satin collars that are so
fashionable now but so hard to keep
clean may be rinsed out in ether and
cleansed Immediately. Do not try to
sponge off the spots. for that leaves a
ring, but put little ether in small
bowl or teacup and squeeze half the
collar at time and it comes out per.
fectly white. Ten cents worth of
ether will clean the collar many times.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL
At KirksvilIe.


To the ambitious young Missouri
ans the Normal School at Kinks
vile sends message 1t is this: -
In spite of drought and hot weather
you have to choose your profes.
sions and your occupations. You
are to be the leaders in building
the greater Missouri. Yon are
choosing the school which is to give
you the power of leadership
Damage to crops compels many
to change occupations. 1t puts
some out of business. But the
public school in civilized state
never lags. Complicated commune
ty life compels young America to
have school education. The pub
lie school teacher is a constant
quantity. The salary of the teach.
er is never failing asset in COM
munity life Once teaching was a
stepping stone to a better paying
job, Now capable lawyers, doctors,
farmers and others come flocking
back into the teaching profession.
The Normal School at Kirksville
has sent ten thousands teachers in
to the public schools, Its diplomas
and certificates are guarantees of
character, capability. and remuner-
alive employment. 1t is a big pro-
gressive, cosmopolitan force in
pushing Missouri forward. 1t
reaches into all forms of private
and civic life.
Look at this:-Out of 1900 stu
dents enrolled in the Normal School
at Kirksville last year, 700 will
teach this year in the large rich
rural districts of the state; $50 in
the best of our graded schools; and
nearly $50 in the high school posi-
tions, supervisorships, and superin-
tendencies. Where can you find
another institution with such a
record?
Why should capable and keen
witted young Missourian turn to
the teaching profession now as new
