VANITY IS BETTER MATCHMAKER
THAN LITTLE GOD OF LOVE HIMSELF

a combination of every grace and vir-
tue known.
If lover should dare to tell the
truth, and say to his sweetheart,
Sally Ann, you are as homely as a
mud fence, your nose is too short and
your mouth too wide, and your eyes
too small and your figure stumpy and
fat, and you will never set the river
afire with your wit, but even so, love
you, and want to marry you" why
Sally Ann would shout moi" at him
that would sound as if it came out
OF megaphone. An she wouldn t
marry him if he were the finest chap
in the land Not she She would wait
until some nice, plausible liar with a
slick tongue in his head came down
the pike.
1t is one of the tragedies of mar
riage that both men and women marry
to get their vanity tickled and that
matrimony so often stops the hand
that spreads the selve and pulls the
punkah. The man has married be-
lieving that he was getting a queen
that men would forever fight ove,.
and, behold, when he has gotten her
he finds he is perfectly welcome -
her. Also he thought that he had
found the one intelligent creature in
the world who appreciated how big
and strong and wonderful and supe-
rior to all other men he was, and
he ascertains that he has gotten a
wife who has no hesitation in re-
minding him of his weaknesses all
calling attention to his faults.
The woman has married believing
that she will spend the balance of her
life in listening to a paean of prais IS
of her own charm, and after the we'd
ding day her husband doesn't even
notice how she looks, nor what she
has on, nor speak of her housekeep-
ing, except when the bread is burned.
Hence the failure of matrimony and
the prevalence of divorce.

SEABOARD SELLS
SIX MILLIONS
OF SECURITIES
SALE AN ADVANTAGEOUS One
Proceeds Will Be Used In
BGtterTneDtS

Baltimore, Feb. 24.-Signifcant of
the policy of the Seaboard Ar Line
Railway is the method of handling the
new financing, which was ratified at
the meeting of the directors the pasr
week. The South was we'll represent
ed at this meeting, the directors pres
ent including A. H. Woodward of
Birmingham, ]. P. Taliaferro of Jack
sonville, Mills B. Lane of Savannah,
Fergus Reid, of Norfolk, President w.
J. Harrahan and Vice President C. R.
Caps of Norfolk, Chairman of Boar
S. Davies Warfield, ]. w. Middendorf
and Townsend Scott of Baltimore.
The meeting was called to ratify the
action of the finance committee ana
the executive committee in the sale Of
$6,O0O,OOO three-year 5 per cent. notes,
which was done. The method of handl-
ing this transaction and the result to
the railroad has brought many cor
graduation to the management, AMI
the directors were distinctly pleased
with the result.
The Seaboard directory includes men
prominently identified with some of
the strongest and largest banking in
situations in the country, and while
their institutions were included in the
list of those invited to bid, there were
also invited to bid a number of other
bankers and institutions outside of
the management in New York and other
cities. This is significant of the way
the management is living up to thu
policy to operate the Seaboard as an
Independent property, as announced
when Mr.. Warfield and his associates
Brought the control of the property in
to Southern hands.
The proceeds of these notes will b.
used for additions and betterments %
the company's property and to REIN
burse the treasury for capital expend-
itures and for cash obligations. In re-
fering use, Chairman Warfeld said
that this money would not be employed
in building extensions, as the manage
ment does not feel it a conservative
policy to finance new railroad extens-
ions by temporary means.
While the interest on this not issue
is 100000 per year, it does not mean
an increase of this amount in the in
terest charges of. the company, as has
been stated. For the period covered
the effect would be an increase in in
terest charges of about $150,O0O per
year, as current interest will be saved.

BROWNSVILLE TO LEVY
TAX ON PROFESSIONS
Lawyers and Doctors Oppose
Measure

Thomasville, Ca, Feb. 24-Can tho
city of Thomasville collect the spec
ial license tax recently levied by coun
Gil on professional men including law
yers, dotcors and dentists, is a ques-
ton that is being much discussed herr
just now. This tax is for $3.50, ex-
elusive of the state tax, and as pub
lished in the minutes of the city coun-
Gil this week it has called forth an
opinion from the leading lawyers here
that it cannot be collected, though
Mayor Luke says that he will collect
it.
The opinion was given out by sew
eral prominent lawyers here is based
on sections 2, and 4 of the tax act OF
Georgia, 1909, and the same are codi-
fed in sections 91S and 800 of the
code of 1910, which state in conclus-
ion that mo municipal corporation or
county authorities shall levy an addi-
tional tax on the professions and ofic
ials enumerated in this and the two
preceding sections, either as a license
tax or fee or otherwise"
According to the statement of one
of the leading lawyers they will take
the matter to the courts before they
will pay the license, as they believe il
to be one that the council has no au
thority or right to collect.
