BLUE EYES OF ETHEL
By FRANK H. WELDON.


 man, I trust I can tolerate, and even, indulge in, moderate levity at times, Ethel says I can and she, if anyone does, should know.
 For months before I met her at the graduating reception of my class in college, I had heard of her as being "a mighty pretty girl" Now if there was one thing which I then held in utter scorn, it was a pretty girl. carried Franklin's saying of hand some is that handsome does" to the extreme-and beyond, If may be per mitted the expression, held that fem nine plainness and virtue walked hand in hand, and that no girl who was pretty could also be fitted for the pedestal on which my ideal was raised. So you see Ethel Elwell won no anti-acquaintance homage from me on account of her being acknowl- edged pretty.
 At the reception. however, we were forced into each others company. Most of the fellows except me hap
  over heels in love and there was a prevalent opinion, 1 afterward learn ed that the man who had won the highest honors in the class of Ought Two ought to have some claim upon the belle of the reception, which Ethel undoubtedly was.
 l made a frank acknowledgment to her at the outset.
 AS we are to be neighbors at our summer houses up in the old Granite State this year, we ought to be ac- quainted, but 1 promise not to keep you from your conquest of hearts. You must, on the other hand. count me as an immune. 1 have never yet seen the woman I could love, though I have many friends among your sex. I promise, then, not to fall in love with you, and you of course don't have to say you won't fall in love with me. That goes without saying. Now let's be friends and friends only."
 For the smallest fraction of a sec
 
 mine, and then dropped shyly under their silken fringes. Although. as l said, I am a serious minded man. l felt the queerest sensation about my temples 1 had ever known. It was like being under fire for the first time.
 Ethel extended her hand. quite the prettiest I have ever seen-small, white. and delicate beyond expres sion.
 Thank you," she exclaimed in a low, frank voice. '1 am so tired of the men who fall in love with me. I tell you the simple truth when l say you are the first-the very first-who has promised to be only a friend. You can't think how exceedingly re- freshing 1t isl"
 As we adjourned to our summer residences in Hudson the next week we saw much of each other after that There was canoeing on the liquid sll yer of the Merrimack and there was golf among the hills, which looked as if they might have served as tees for the Titans of old.
 The last day came, the day when l was forced to end my vacation. Ethel and I sat in the twilight on the veran' da of "River Rest" as the Elwell cot tage was called. We occupied oppo site ends of the same willow seat.
 And we're still friends" l said elatedly. ''Ether'-I called her that in the spirit of true comradeship- you can't tell how much that means to mel"
 q did not suppose that the valedic torian of his class at college would care for even the friendship of a girl like mel" she answered.
 I steeled myself at the thought that she might be playing with me as she
The Prescott daily news., 1913-10-07

had played with others.
 What is your program for tomor' row?" I asked lightly.
 Boating, fishing, golfing, tennis, she said.
 With Hartley Grady?" I inquired.
 "Yes. l suppose he and I will have to strike up comradeship for Sep, tember."
 This didn't please me, though ] couldn't have told why.
 What time are you going west?" queried. There was a California trip in prospect.
 Papa says the Gradys are going with us. I expect. from what he says, we'll start about the first of October" "
 You'll be making an end of your conquests soon, Ethel" I said. feeling as if I'd been shaken in a train col. lision. I laughed nervously. Per. haps you'll be marrying Grady!"
 "Perhaps!" She actually smiled.
 And, Robert, we're still friends, aren't we?" I remember hearing her say, as one remembers things which occur in a dream.
 Yes, s,''-awkwardly-"and I prom ised not to fall in love with you!" Was my arm about her waist?
 But I-I didn't make any prom. ise!" Her saying that, I remember very. very distinctly, for it was super latively sweet to my ears.
 Do you absolve me from my prom ise?" I asked.
 There was no answer in words, but I knew that 1 was absolved. I no longer feared the result of the west. ern trip, and when I met Hartley Grady next day I shook hands with him so enthusiastically that he seem. ed surprised.
 In spite of her being a pretty girl I love Ethel dearly.

CREDIT GIVEN TO THE WIFE
Good and Sufficient Reasons Why Mar
rled Man Lives Longer Than
the Bachelor.

1t is good thing for man to have
wife to look after his ingoings and
outcomings-to enforce regularity in
his mode of living-to see that he is
clothed according to the requirements
of the temperature, and takes his UNI
brella when there is likelihood of
showers, and gets good meals at stated
hours.
Jacques Bertillon, the French expert
on occupational mortality, has found
that low death rates occur particularly
sin occupations In which the workman
is under more or less supervision as
regards not only health but also habits
of life, and in which he is surrounded
by influences tending to prevent dis
sipation, and conducive to regular
hours and regular habits. Bank clerks
and flduciary employees who feel their
responsibilities are types of this. Der
tillon attributes much the same intlu
ence to marriage and family life. The
married man is supervised for his OWL
good, and, having added incentives tc
self-restraint and to the care Of his
health, he has lower mortality thar
the bachelor.-Journal Of the Ameri
can Medical Association.

CANADA WINS AGAIN
This Time at the International
Soil Products in Oklahoma.

Last year and the year before, and
the year before that, the farm prod
ucts of Western Canada carried on
first premiums, championships and
honours, together with medals and d.
plomas, feats that were likely to give
a swelled head to any other people
than those who had so much more be-

the world. The most recent winnings
Of Canada have been made at Tulsa

Poor Charities.

There are charity societies, as all
the world knows, that only give to the
poor quarter or half cent of every
dollar they take in, most of their sub
scriptions going for salaries to OFF,
GERS and investigators, for expensive
rentals, etc.
Richard March, the charity expert of
Denver, Colo, was condemning these
charities. He said:
"A mans wife shouted up to him

AMERICAN ADMIRAL WON'T HAVE
TO USE FORCE TO PROTECT
PROPERTY.
PROMISES SAFETY OF OIL PROPERTY
Admiral Fletcher Sends Such Mes
sage to Washington offlclals-By
Order Of President Wilson Madero
Brothers Are Kept Safe at v. s.
Consulate,

Washington, Nov. 22-Rear Admiral
Fletcher, commanding the American
fleet on the east coast Of Mexico late
today cabled the navy department a
message he had received from Gen.
eral Aguilar, the constitutionalist
leader who has occupied the vicinity
of Tuxpam, giving assurance that
American and other extensive oil in
terests in that terfitoy would be pro
tected.
Admiral Fletcher is under orders to
take such steps as may be necessary
to protect foreign lives and property,
reports from Tuxpam having indicated
the constitutionalists we're threaten
ing to destroy the tanks of British oil
interests. This led to talk OF the pos
sibility of the landing of marines or
bluejackets from the American battle
ships and developments in the situa-
ton have been awaited with intense
interest
General Aguilar's message sent in
reply to Admiral Fletcher's demand
that no harm should come to foreign
ers or their property, said:
81 am governing on constitutional
basis, my attitude being to guarantee
the interests of all foreign and do
nestle oil corporations existing in the
| territory I occupy, fulfilling in this
| manner the demands of civilization,
and not being governed by caprice or
vengeance"
. Officials here think this means
| there will be no troublesome compli-
cations as a result of Aguilar's &C.
cupation of the oil fields territory. De-
struction of the tanks would have en-
dangered the lives of many Americans
and other foreigners. The British
armored cruisers have been ordered
to the scene, but in the meantime the
United States had been asked to guard
British interests.
Frequent conferences today between
Secretary Bryan, Counsellor John Bas'
sett Moore and Acting Secretary
Roosevelt and two visits by the secre'
tary of state to the white house &C
companied by Mr.. Roosevelt were the
outward marks of the deep interest
felt in official circles in the Mexican
situation.
1t developed the welfare of the two
Madero brothers and their relatives
who had sought asylum in the Ameri
can consulate at Vera Cruz was the
feature of these conferences. There
was a strong desire on the part o.
the administration to learn whether
any resistance had been offered by the
local Mexican authorities to the re
moval of the refugees aboard battle
ship and 1t was quite apparent and
sense of relief was experienced wheI
it was learned it had not been neces
sary to employ force.
Late in the day the department re
ceived a cablegram from Admira
Fletcher announcing Daniel Nader,
and five companions were received
this morning on board the Louisian'
as refugees.

What is WOn10n'S
Beauty but Health?
And fhe Basis of Her Health and
VigOr Lies In the Careful Reg
uidfion of the BosceIS.

II woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be
picture of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. 1t lies in health. In
the majority of cases the basis OF
health, and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
and they do not exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may be
1t is important that the condition
should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
quirements, Is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women en-
dorse highly, among them Mrs. c. s.
Vance, of 511 s. Ray St., New Castle,
Pa. At times she had spells of indi-
gestion so severe that she thought she
would die. Syrup Pepsin regulated her
stomach and bowels, and she attrib-
utes her excellent health today to this
remedy
All the family can use DR.. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of moth
ers give 1t to babies and children. It
is also admirably suited to the require
ments of elderly people, in fact to all
