sinecure was evidently first pro-
pounded by a doddering old wild
over trying to marry a debu-
tante. 1t is misleading guide
to go by. The rich old man is
willing to dress his pretty young
wife 40 like fine doh and show
her off before his friends. but be
yond her millinery no one need
envy the old mans darling her
luck
Old people are almost invarla-
bly, tyrannical, and set in their
ways, and narrow, and selfish.
and opinionated, and to these I'M
amiable qualities the old husband
invariably and justifiably adds
Jealousy. The young wife of an
old. man earns all she gets by
putting up with the rabbedness
Of age, by having all of her ac-
tons Spied upon, and by having

Look at the young wives of old
men that YOU know. the girls who
have married for money. Is there
one happy looking one among
them ALP Did YOU ever see wear
Ter. more bored looking faces?
They do not look alert and alive
as working women look. They
have not the smiling contented
faces that the wives of so many
poor men have.

Better Love in a Cottage
Than Riches and an
Empty Life.

You see these. women. have
found out what terrible thing
it is to have nothing but money.
and how little money really buys.
1t doesn't take you long to get all
YOU can eat and wear. and then
the purchasing power of money
stops. 1t won't buy you love, nor
a single solitary thrill, nor
brighten by one degree the
dreary, soggy, endless evenings
that you spend tete-a -tete with
husband whose society bores you
to extinction.
Marry the man you love. girls.
the man who interests you. the
man with whom you have every
thought and sympathy in COM
mon, though he be as poor as a
church mouse Youth calls to
youth, you must match enthu-
siaSm with enthusiasm. hope
With hope. You must enjoy the
same things, like to do the same
things, to have any comradeship.
and comradeship between hus-
band and wife makes the only
enduring tie. 1t is the only thing
that brings happiness.
Better is a dinner of herbs that
TWO happy young hearts can
laugh over than dinner at the
finest restaurant with an old
gourmet whose jaded palate moth
ing can tickle Better a suburb
an cottage with love than a city
palace and an empty heart and
an empty life.

SHIP STOPPED TO SAVE DOLL
Betsy" Had Been Bounced of the Mauretania and lifeboats Were
 Sent After Her.

New York, Dec. 15.-Betsy. Capt. and Mrs. R. Falkner Towards doll, which arrived on the Mauretania, has the distinction of being the only doll that ever stopped a transatlantic liner. Betsy, who has the appearance of being real child of or years, was taken on deck for a promenade by Mrs. Howard.
 She was bounced on the deck to show that she was unbreakable. Just then Betsy bounced overheard.
 Capt. Howard rushed around ex plaining that it was not real human baby, but it was too late. Orders had been shouted from the bridge and the great ship slowed down.
 The captain learned the mistake, but he decided that, as the engines had been stopped, the doll might just as well be rescued.
 So a boat was put off and rowed back half mile to where Betsy was bobbing on the waves.

BIRTHRATE DECREASES FAST
Has Declined Since 1876, But Last Report Is Most Startlng-Short
 100000 Children.

London, Dec. 13.-Startling facts and deductions concerning England's steadily increasing birthrate are con- tained in the annual report of the registrar general. The rate has been gradually declining since 1876. when it was 36.3 per 1000. It is now only 238 per 1000.
 The growing reluctance of the men and women of England to assume pa rental responsibility is shown by the figures of average age at marriage in the last year-29 for husbands and 27 for wives. Further. it is disclosed that the ratio of births to the number of married women of potential age has decreased 34 per cent in the last three decades. In other words, if there had been no change in the ratio births in the last year would have numbered 1,27369S instead of S43.505

4Making Faces" as an Aid to Health Massage and exercise, at various [tme. have been advocated as a pana- ea for many and divers ills. Fernet |uow proposes that by exercise we may |be able to influence favorably the en- |rroahing deafness of the elderly, or That following inflammation of the middle ear. He remarks that child |en can often move the ears and part |cf the scalp voluntarily, and some may become quite exceptional in this fla |nlty. He believes that, through ex- |scise, adults will be able to produce )such movements. He has devised [three series of exercises, as follows: |1he first consists of grimaces of the |iace, contracting in turn the muscles l of the lips, nostrils and eyelids, aim ling ultimately to reach the ear; next

 Nctions which he gives fully. He
 says, Medical men, knowing the ana
 tony of the parts, can train their |nusces very effiectually in this way;
 others need an instructor to show

MANY CLAIMANTS TO ESTATE
Mad Wed Three Wives and Leaves Three Sets of Heirs Quarreling
 Over His Estate.

Bloomington, Ill, Dec. 15.-Three sets of heirs have commenced action to get control of the S100.000 estate left by Llewellyn Davies, prominent resident of Morgan county, who died recently. Davies was married twice in this country and also was married in England. Children by each mar riage are after the money he left
 Davies came to the United States 40 years ago and for many years was a leading farmer and capitalist His second marriage in this country was to Miss Louise Manchester. Her rel atives say she brought him property worth s50,000 They demand it's rt- turn on the ground that she was not his legal wife, making the sensational charge that he was never divorced from his first wife in England The claimants related to Miss Manchester include Thomas D. Manchester. T. ]. Manchester. Mary E. Swain, James c. Manchester. Beulah Johnson and Ivan Garner.
 Until the claim was filed by the relatives of Louise Manchester, the only contestants were the children of the first marriage in England and the children of the subsequent marriage in the United States The status of the litigation has vastly changed as a result of the latest claim. However, if it is established in the English courts that Davies obtained divorce from his English wife the Manchester claim cannot stand. Should it devel- that no legal separation took place, then both of the marriages in this country are void, adding to the com plications.
