BREAK THE ENGAGEMENT.

Dear Miss Fairfax
I am engaged to marry a very sweet
girl and until month ago thought /
never could care for any one else, but
since then, I have met another with
whom have fallen very deeply in love
and I know she cares for me Is it
fair to my fiancee to let our engage
ment continue under these conditions?
I still care for her but not in the same
way I do for the other one yet do not
see how a man can hOnOrabiy break
his engag cement to a girl just because
his own feelings have changed. What
would you advice me to do
Troubled.
Break the engagement by all means.
The first girl will not lose much in
losing such a tickle man and win,
eventually, be far better off Il would
indeed be unfair to marry one girl and
care for" another. Tell the girl you
are engaged to what the situation il
and she will release you. Be more care
full next time young man, before YOU
engage yourself to a girl. Fully satisfy
yourself that she is the only one YOU
can care for.

Finds Girl and Marries Her.

Memphis, Oct. 21.-B. J. Mon- roe of Davenport, Iowa, who not flied the police here to be on the lookout for Miss Laura D. Bres- Ter, his fancee, did not wait for the police to find her. He arriv- ed in Memphis Monday after noon, found the young woman, procured license and married her. It is stated that Mrs. Mon- roe's father lives in Arkansas.
 According to a communication received by the police, Mrs. Mon- roe disappeared from her home in Moline, H., and was next heard of in this city.
 Monroe said that she was suf- fering from a nervous break down and that she disappeared just before their wedding day. He feared she had suffered a lapse of memory.

Child Cruelty.

Little Joe Krauer, in a New York school, appears only to have died of heart failure a broken heart," as the old saying is-as the result of grief and shame at the taunts of his schoolmates because he failed to pass an examination.
 A word of bitter scorn was hurled at him, which cut him to the soul. He blanched, tainted and revived and went bravely on; the taunts were renewed and he fell dead.
 Maybe this boy was unduly sen sitive. But this would be no rea- son to other boys to spare him, but added reason to taunt him.
 Boys are the most heartless of barbarians.

LEAVE OUT THE SUPERFLU0US
sone Truth in Assertion That Pres ent Generation Considers 100
 Many "Wants" as "Needs.'

A woman who has been observing people and things has come to the conclusion that the expense of living today is largely due to individual ln' diligence. People want so much more than they formerly did. or at any rate, if they wanted 1t before they often did without it, for expe' diency's sake; but now. she says, to want and to have go hand in hand without regard for expediency. This woman says: My idea of the wide spread complaint of the high cost of living is that people are not temper ate in supplying their three principal wants, namely: food. clothing and shelter Some people cut down on food and shelter and spend an over abundance on clothing. Others in. dulge themselves in rich foods that are absolutely unnecessary. Still others like to live in fashionable quarters and neglect their food and shelter A person to be happy must preserve a balance in all things. One must be temperate with regard tc food, clothing and shelter. Live in 8 respectable but not ultra-fashionable neighborhood; wear standard clothes. not the latest Paris fashions; eat good, substantial food, not rich, tasty delicacies that cater only to the pal ate, is my parting advice"

That Vacant Chair,

Perhaps it is more sad when a chai. Is vacant in life than in death. Men make feast. Many who might belong at the table are not there. Death has not claimed them. What the world votes to be failures has kept them away. In the race as 1t is run they ar. the iaggards. Perhaps, in our reckon. ing they will never win. Had you noticed how in the next generation their children almost always arrive? ? The poor mans son is the rich man Of tomorrow and the children of "fail. ures' are the country's future success es.

Make Directors Duties OnerOus.

OpCCldl u 1lluCpCIlQCIlt.
 Little Rock, Oct. 22.-Do di- rectors direct? That is the question which J. J. Beavers, the Blue Sky deputy in the office of the State Bank Commissioner, has set out to answer. He is mailing a form letter to each of the hundred or more corpora tions, foreign and domestic that come under his jurisdiction, di- recting them to file with the de- partment a certified copy of the proceedings of each regular and special meeting of the board of directors.
 Those who do not do so, or fall short of their requirements, may have their permits revoked. Af- ter the company has sold all it's contracts, bonds, or stock, and has passed from the jurisdiction of the Blue Sky Department, this requirement can no longer be exacted of them.
 It is probable that the same regulation will be adopted by the State Bank Commissioner for the banking institutions coming under his jurisdiction.

child is the more capacity he has for suffering, and the more cruel and constant therefore will be the ridicule heaped upon him.
 There is no tyranny in the world so heart-wrecking and des- potic as that of the bigger boy. It is not often that the strong heart of youth actually fails un- der it or the buoyancy spirit breaks, but the other things that are killed in the boy-who can measure them?
 Unless he is of the finest tex ture, and has the bravest soul, the child is apt to be nodded into the worst ways by cruelty. To escape it he will himself assume an air of roughness and do the things which the mob admires Child cruelty makes thousands of young offenders and starts them on the road to criminality.
 What has broken the heart of little Joe Krauer has broken the finer things in the spirit of mill lions of boys the world over. - Memphis News-Scimitar.

SURRENDER BONDS
FOR CLUB BENEFIT
Holders of Second Mortgage
Securities Prove Liberal
Toward Institution.

The holders of second mortgage
bonds on the Rock Island club, at
dinner at the club last evening, closed
up brilliantly q campaign inaugurated
some time ago to relieve the club of
its floating Indebtedness.
Realizing that some move should
be made TO put the club on a better
financial basis number of the sec
ond mortgage bondholders made a lib
eral proposition to the membership
that they would agree to surrender 81
of the face value of their bonds for
every dollar that would be contribut-
ed by the membership toward a fund
for the reduction of the membranes.
A majority of the bondhoIders enter
ed into this agreement and last night
they met at the club to hear the re-
port of the club committee on sub
sCriptions and also the auditing COM
mittee.
The report showed that $1,000 had
been raised in general contributions,
which meant a surrender of $4,000
by the bondholders or 81 per cent of
the face value of each bond. The
bondholders received the report with
enthusiasm and proceeded to turn in
their bonds with instructions to the
secretary to make the reductions.
when former President II. Z. Casteel
in a brief talk spoke of the public
spirit and generosity which had been
manifested jointly by the club men,
bers and the bondholdeTs, and then
sumsd obligation would involve the
surrender Of g. per cent of the bonds.
he. for one, was willing to turn his
entire bonds into the club if the 9TH
ers were willing TO do likewise. The
proposition met with a ready response
on The part of everyone present
/ Keep mine" came spontaneously
/ from all sides OF the table-with the
/ result that by unanimous agreement
! the proposition was freely and cheer
fully carried into effect and the pros
poets are that the few second mort
gage boDdholders who were not present
will not fail readily to acquiesce in the
/ agreement and that bonds aggregating
$4,000 will be turned back to the
club.
President H. S. Cable spoke the
gratitude not only of the board of d.
rectors but of the entire membership
of the club to the bondhoiders who By
their public spirit and liberality had
thus liquidated the floating indebted
ness of the club. This act, said Mr..
. Cable, would place the club on a sound
financial basis and insure its future as
an institution which would success
fully fill all its objects and purposes,
and continue to prove in all respects
credit to the city.
