No. 2, Newport, Ark, says: "l have never lost an opportunity during the past six years to praise and recommend Deans Kidney Pills for what they have done for me, as we'll as other members of my family. They have made such complete cures of kidney trouble that it has not been necessary for us to take them or any other kind Of med icine during the past three years.

woman because she is so intelligent. "
That would be a lovely high browed
justification of his sentiments. but it is
doubtful If any man ever really fell in
love with a woman's brains When he
loves such a one 1t is generally in spite
of them, and not because of them, and
as a rule the more scrambled they are
the better he likes her.
Or man might say: Il love her be-
cause she is so good" That would
truly be an excellent reason for love.
But did ever the knowledge that a
woman was an angel on earth set a
single mans pulse a-flutter? A man
may respect, admire, reverence good
ness in woman, but it has never yet
lit the fire of passion in his heart.
His Many Reasons.
Or man might say: 81 love this
woman because she is so domestic, be-
cause she will be such a helpmate to
me, and make the sort of mother
want my children to have" That's a
fine and dandy reason to be able to give
for ones affection. But Cupid isn't a
practical man. He's a dreaming boy
and no man ever fell in love with a
woman because of what she could do
for him. and how comfortable she could
make him. True, he sometimes marries
for that reason, but when he does he
marries for his stomach and not his
heart.
In all good faith, if a man had to
answer the question why do you
think you love this woman" and he
answered truly he would say some
thing that would never get by the
matrimonial censor He would say
Il love her for that little dimple at the
corner of her mouth Or, 81 love her
for the way her hair curls around the
nape of her white neck" or, Il love
her for the cunning look in her eyes

Yet with all homage paid to the rev.

one should not make OF humility the

1t had its place then. 1t should not

to be as humble as were our ancestors
we succeed only in becoming victims

those days had no other part in life
than to sit and spin while waiting for a
lover to come riding by, her humility

TIME women have a great deal to
say about the broadening effects
Of travel

say about the broadening effects
OF travel.
Which means, boiled down to meet
the limitations of actual experience
that every time woman goes to an
other town to broaden her mind she
comes back glowing with tales of the
wonderful bargains she found there In
ten-cent store.
Daysey Mayme Appleton is a firm
advocate of this method of broadening
the mind, and is never so happy as
when at the depot ready to spend her
fathers money, get a cinder in her eye,
and experience all the broadening ef-
fects OF visiting a new ten-cent store.
She returned from such a broadening
trip with a gold" pin she bought at
the marvellous ten-cent store in tho
town she visited. She had paid only
ten cents for it.
The next week she lost It. Then It
began TO assume a value out of all
proportions. She lamented its loss to
her friends, and advertised it in the
papers. 1t was unique and antique, and
she began to adorn it with ruby
No one rebuked her
1T had four diamonds" she said
next and was worth a thousand dol
lars
1T was my great great grand
mothers betrothal gift" she said next
time, "snd no estimate can be put on
it's value
She added more diamonds, and then
a pearl or two. In short, within a
month Daysey Mayme had begun to
enjoy her loss so much that no greater
distress could be known to her than n
return of the pin.
why do you do Shis, and make your
loss greater?" complained her father.
why does any woman who has suf-
fered a loss, be it a ten-cent pin, a
friendship or an umbrella, add to the
loss by looking at 1t through magnify
ing glasses? Why not admit that pin
is worthless, the friendship of little
worth since it could be lost, and the
umbrella something that could be cas-
lily replaced?"

lOrOfhV NV <11c Make Man Tell Why and He
~ ~~/O Need an Aiemd Instead of MARRIAGE

n WOMAN who is a social worker
n in Boston has been giving young
people some good advice about
marrying. She thinks that a great deal
Of matrimonial misery might be avoid
ed 1t all young couples contemplating
matrimony had to go before commits
sion and answer certain inquiries not
only as to the state of their finances.
but their minds. Among other heart
searching questions that she would ask
young man is this one:
why do you think you love this par
ticular girl?"
It's probably Just as we'll that the
Issuing of a marriage license doesn't
depend on man speaking right up and
answering that conundrum promptly
and to the satisfaction of the Grand In
quisitor for If it did there would be no
more wedding bells
No living man knows why he falls in
love with the one girl, instead of an
other, or why one maiden sets his
pulses thrilling while another leaves
him as cold as ice.
OF course, the enamored lover, If such
a question should be put to him, would
say that the reason he loves Arabella
is because she is the most beautiful
creature on earth, with the most lissom
figure and the sweetest voice. and the
dearest ways, and because she Is the
first and only female lady person that
was ever created that possessed all of
the virtues and did not have a single
fault
An Alienist Needed.
Then the Grand Inquisitor would take
one squint at Arabella and, perceiving
that she was an ordinary looking young
person with a Suub nose and hav COL
ored hair and that she simpered and
giggled, and bore none Of the ear
marks of the superwoman. he would
pityingly commit the besotted youth
TO a padded cell, as he remarked:
Young man, what you need is an
a)ienist and not a marriage license"
No. No man can give reason for
the faith that is in him concerning the
woman he loves. He just loves her:
that is the answer She's just the one
woman for him, and that's all there is
to 1t, and logic has got nothing TO do
with the situation.
OF course, TO the Grand Inquisitor It
seems that a man should be able to
give some intelligent reason for the
most important step of HIS life, and
that when he Is asked, why do you
love this woman?" he should be able to
reply. for instance:
Il love her for her beauty" That
would be good answer that would
