"a and IS because at that age they
are under the sway of romantic ideals
WOMEN REALLY LOVE AT 30
With women, the age at which
this highest capacity is revealed may
be later-may evensb be after she has
reached 80. not because the romantic
impulse comes to women so much
later but because it's first expression
seeks different outlet than that of
man.
ITO women under 80 love and mar
riage do not appear a thing unusual
or romantic. On the contrary. in
this age it is apt to be looked upon
as commonplace and monotonous. The
romance of the woman nowadays is
travel, excitement or a career"

NEGRO RESIDENT
CHARGED WITH ASSAULT

Harry Matthews. a negro who has
been hanging about town for the past
year, and who has been up before the
court of justice twice in the past four
months for minor crimes. is now again
under arrest and in the county Jail
for a very serious crime, that of as
sault with intent to commit rape on
a little ten-year-old eolored girl, of J.
w. Straughter. The warrant was
sworn out late Saturday night by the
father, and in less than an hour Officer
Tdal had his man in Jail.
The case came up before Judge Cas-
tie this afternoon and the little girl
has given her testimony. She told that
her parents had taken this man in and
treated him as one of the family, and
that Saturday afternoon the parents
left herself and two little sisters to
care for the house. Then comes this
black brute, this semblance of a man,
who is nothing but animal passion per-
sonifed, a man who when all his 9th

is time that this man be brought to
task. He has committed the one
crime that civilization will not over
look. and his trial and sentence should
be rapid and stern. A colored father
has as much love for his little daugh-

is entitled to have the same protection
