No Lover Dares Tell Truth.

N"AA'
If lover should dare to tell the
truth, and say to his sweetheart.
Sally Ann, you are as homely as
mud fence, your nose is too short
and your mouth too wide, and your
eyes 100 small, and your figure
stumpy and fat, and you will never
set the river afre with your wit,
but even so, love YOU and I want
YOU to marry me-" why Sally Ann
would shout a mo" at him that
would sound as if it came out of
megaphore. And she wouldn't
marry him if he was the finest chap
in the land. Not she. She would
wait until some nice plausible liar
with 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 salve and
pulls the punkah. The man has
married believing that he was get
ting a queen that men would for
ever fight over and behold. when he
has gotten her he finds ba l. nor

being an attractive woman.
And she never gets over this feel
ing. Her vanity is always a harp
with thousand strings upon which
man can play as long as she
lives. 1t is this that makes women
do fool and criminal things, such as
a rich old woman marrying a boy
young enough to be her son, or a
married woman wrecking her life
and her family by carrying on
Irritation with some man she really
cares nothing about
Mans strongest appeal in court
ship is likewise made not to wom-

DEMAND FOR BEEF
EXCEEDS SUPPLY
Warns Country That Meat
Crisis in Imminent

Washington, June THE demand
for beef far exceeds the supply and
high prices are the result, says a bul.
letin issued by the department of agri-
culture
The shortage in the supply of meat
producing animals, too, is steadily be-
coming greater, and the country is
warned that it is facing a period of
short production of meat.
In the last six years there has been
a decline of more than 80 per cent in
the number of beef cattle in the Unit
ed States, according to the department
and already during the first three
months of this year there has been an
approximate decrease of 13 per cen.
in the number of meat animals killed
under government supervision as com
pared with the same three months Of
1912.
Estimates of the department give
the number of beef cattle in the Unit
ed States on Jan. 1, 1907, as 51,566,00a,
and at the beginning of the present
year as 36,030,000. Prices paid for cat
tie, sheep, lambs and hogs last year
we're much higher than the preceding
year.
"The year 1872" says the depart
ment, was a year of high prices for
all classes of food animals With the
diminished production in the home
market, the department asserts, there
is no longer a surplus for export.
''The time has come" it says, when
we must conserve our meat supply"
