in town, their whiskers neatly
curried down, their shoes shin

a laurel wreath; their clothes
are natty, and their teeth don't

And everything that Jimpson
owns is slick as grease; he
spends some bones to keep
things up to date; his wagons
and his horses are the neatest
on the streets by far, his har-
ness simply great.
Some people say he's a great
crank; he ought to carry to the
bank the wealth he thus ex-
ponds. But he is building up a
trade that makes such carping
critics fade, and he is gaining
friends. For every man who
sees his store is pretty sure to
go some more and buy his
shredded peas, his three-ply
behring's, fine as silk, Ben Davis

and kippered cheese.

picion. All jealousy IL born Of sus-
picion. and suspicion is related to "
ing-and once you get thing down
to that foundation there Is no good
left in it.
But Doubt-some one asks--isnt It
human to doubt-to doubt everything
even Love.
Maybe it is, but the really big ma
ture always in the end puts Doubt TO
rout.
Who ne'er has suffered, he has lived
but half.
Who never failed, he never strove or
sought.
Who never wept is stranger to .
laugh,
And he who never doubted never
thought.
All, but doubt isn't related to the
petty jealousy that is supposed to be
an attendant on love. Doubt is bigger
than Jealousy, and it is more honest.
Jealousy is despicable thing. because
it sinks and attacks one from the rear.
Doubt walks up and lands one blow
straight out from his shoulder and be-
tween the eyes. That's all right, the
square way to fight, while Jealousy
with keen-pointed blade creeps up
and plants his envenomed weapon
deep in the back of the one he would
lay low.
What is the cause of jealousy?
Distrust, to be sure-and lack of
faith and too little love-
Yes, I knew you'd interrupt me to
tell me / am mistaken. You think you
are jealous because your love is such
great love. I say you are jealous be-
cause your love is such pusillani-
nous little love!
Perfect love casteth out fear-and
fear-even you wouldn't dare deny
that fear is all twined around and
mixed up with jealousy.
Jealosy is three-fourths fear.
Fear that you can't hold the love of
your beloved.
Fear that she will see some one
who will appeal to her as you have
never appealed.
Fear that she will give some Of the
love, the interest she now feels in you
Ito some one else.
Not necessarily rival. No, indeed.
I've seen a man get mad enough to
murder every dog in Christendom be-
cause his wife happened to show her
affection for tiny toy dog.
You've seen manifestations of jeaf
ousy quite as petty and as ridiculous.
And they call this Jovei
If we knew the real name Of 1t ]

this reason. 1t would show up too

Jealosux Born Of SUSPICION.

This was the beginning. He goes
on. 1t would seem idiotic IL the be
ginning of jealousy were not always
as trivial as the beloved's meeting
old friends and seeming to enjoy
meeting them" Time passed on, the
flame was kindled. He began to watch
his wife. To keep surveillance over
his wife. To keep surveillance
that he even followed her one day
when she was downtown He had a
feeling, engendered, he knew not by
what, that she was going to meet one
of the men who had loved her before
she married him.
And she discovered him on her trail
and was properly indignant and In

was the beginning.

JEALOUSY
ITS CAUSE
AND CURE

RITA REESE, In the New York Press
The cause of jealousy the cure
for jealousy! Which is most timely
subject for discussion, coming along in
a season when green things are bud
ding
Not that one would deliberately class
jealousy with the tender, wholesome,
ousy is a green that arises from to-
tally different source, and 1t is related
to the tonic green things of the forest
only as brackish stream heavily coat
ed with miasmatic green scum is-it
just happened there!
For jealousy is green scum, and it
is miasmic and it arises from a mind
diseased, an imagination disordered-
but where-you are asking, does the
love come in?
The love that is supposed to go arm
in arm with the green-eyed monster.
Jealousy?
Well, I'm not so sure that jeal-
ousy is related even by step connec-
ton of marriage to True Love.
Maybe he is. There are many poets
who claim that there can be no true
love without its dread contemporary.
Jealousy.
Do you believe that? / don't And
this is the reason / am incredulous.
/ believe in instructive things, in
intuitions and deep feelings, forebod-
ings, if you ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
And if you've ever noticed little
blue-eyed True Love when Jealousy
turns the corner you must have re-
marked on how the Cupid baby was
frightened. Nay, more than fright
ened. Literally scared to death!
True Love had feeling that rab-
bit or a vicious reptile was creeping
over the grave that soon would be his.
Love-that best kind of love, the real
thing in love-doesn't hang around
where Jealousy loafs. Not on your life.
When green-eyed Jealousy comes in at
the door
Maybe you've heard it was Poverty
out, believe me, that isn't True Love.
He never did fee from lack of gold.
But when green-eyed Jealousy stalks
in at the door Cupid and True Love
scuttle out of the window or up the
chimney nywhere-anywhere to get
out of the reach of the vicious in
truder.

Each Man Kills the Thing He Loves

Each Man Nils the IhinQ he Loves.
Jealousy comes of the desire to fill
the frame-the frame that holds the
life of the beloved. You would like for
her to see only you. You are her love
and because you love her with such q
surprising devotion you resent every
interest, no matter how trivial it may
be and how harmless. that would dis
tract one instant her attention from
you!
And you call that love! I call 1t
selfishness carried to the ninth negree,
and l challenge anyone to prove 1t
otherwise.
Each man kills the thing he loves"
the poet sings. And most of them MUIR
der it by jealousy.
Jealousy is a survival of the ages
when our lovers were cave men and
PIE were women who had to be taken
ES stealth and cunning and brute
ss9ength. True enough there are those
OF as now who adore these same traits
in our lovers when they come a-woo-
ing But once we are won we come
to see the horror of having to live
with creature dominated by these
same qualities.
Jealousy Is sinister and evil power
and once it takes possession of a
mans brain 1t is deadly. 1t drives out
his reason and enthrones a demon
which is itself, and it knows no sober
moments, neither does it understand
nor strive to comprehend anything
that is normal or unrelated, to it's own
egotistical selfimportance.
There!-you see jealousy unveiled!
Not as love, but as the something fur
thest removed from true affection.
A something which the ones who
know tremble before as the most in
sidious enemy true love meets in the
going to the heaven toward which all
true lovers are journeying.
Since love, then, you are asking, is
not related to jealousy; moreover,
since jealousy is a menace to love,
how shall you set about eliminating
the dread monster from your life?
To be more specific, will tell you
about man who has written to ask
my advice. His case covers exactly
the situation in many other cases.
He tells me that he married q girl
who had been much admired and
sought after. There were many rivals
to him; several of these were richer
and more pronsSnent than ne was. But
he won out and married the girl and
they were very happy for while
Then he grew suspicious. Not that
there was really anything definite to
base his suspicious on, but he knew
that his wife had met some Of her for
mer admirers here and there, and he
had observed that she was pleased
with the meeting. That she seemed
to enjoy seeing them.
Right here let me say the man gave
himself away as profoundly selfish
person. Why shouldn't his wife enjoy
meeting her old friends. whether they
were men or women2 Because she
happened to be married to him. why
should that kill all her interest In life
outside of him?

What to Take During q
1913.

Take this paper.
Take comfort-if you can.
Take things easy-within reason.
Take the girl you love to be your
wife.
Take care Of your health. 1t is
the most valuable thing you have.
Take a hint when 1T is intended
for you. Don't wait TO be knocked
down.
Take hattery as on insult, and an
honest compliment as something to
be grateful for.
Take pains to be faithful and con.
scien ious IN business. 1t will bring
you success.
Take offense only at things worth
being offended at. 1t is sure evil
dence of small mind to notice
trifles.
Take hold Of any work that comes
TO your mind rather than be Idle.
Luck always waits upon the busy.
Take time to be polite and kind
always. Rudeness never pays; the
boor may think so but he is wrong
Take trouble like a man. Don't
go whining about when it comes,
but shut your mouth and stand up
under il resolutely.
Take trip now and then, and
try to see something outside Of the
town you live in. Travel is one
of the best of educators.
Take pains to do your work well.
The CONSCIENTIOUS worker is the one
who gets to the front-the one who
is never idle.

Public Drinking Gun.

The days Of the public drinking
cup in West Virginia are numbered
The new state law officially exiling
the public drinking cup, goes into
effect on Tuesday, May 20. The
bill forbids the appending of a pub
nc drinking cup at any place, and
violation carries with 1t fine of
not less than so nor more than $50.
The Legislature took the view
that the common public drinking
cup was one of the most prolific
spreaders of disease extant. For
this reason it was undesirable. and
as result big corporations, stores
and factories must banIsh the pub
lc cup and provide individual
drinking utensils.
