APPOINT GUARDIAN
 ID NATIVE GIRL

Upon petition of Geo. R. Walk CT, United States district attOr- ney, to have Rev. w. H. Zeigler appointed guardian of Elsie Rip stein, hearing was held last ev- ening by Commissioner Shepard. After the hearing of testimony the court appointed MT. Zeigler guar dian, when the mother arose and in her native dialect said:
 You will have to cut me open before you take from me my child.'
 The mother was permitted to take the child With her until the newly appointed guardian filed his bond, which he did this morning. Some further disposition may be made in the case. The action talk en by Judge Walker is the re- suit of evidence adduced in the Little case, wherein Mrs. Rip stein's reputation was not great ly enhanced, she carrying a baby if months old, while the testi- mony disclosed that her husband was an inmate of the Morning. side hospital in Oregon for three years last past.

Berlin, Jan. 3l That all Ger mans are not opposed to military service is shown by a little in- cident which has just become public. Herr Burchardt, son of a land owner, wanted to become a soldier. He was rejected be- cause he was knock -keed, his legs having the appearance of an"X.'
 Young Burchardt wrote a very touching appeal to the emperor asking his aid to become a sol dier. The emperor sent Bur- chardt to the Royal Surgical clinic at Koenigsberg, where it was found that he could be cured and his legs strengthened. The emperor ordered that the bill be sent to him and Burchardt will become soldier in a few month <.

Chicago, Jan. 3l.--The mystery of the disappearance of Charles A. Lang, Chicago real estate brok- CT and mining stock promoter, from his home here March 20, 1912, was cleared here yesterday by the identification of a phOto- graph of a man who committed suicide in Portland, Ore, Noven- Der 1, last, as that of Lang. When Lang left he told his wife he would return within ten days. At that time he was thought to be wealthy. Continued absence caus- ed an investigation of. his af- fairs and it was found that they were in a tangled shape.
 Voluntary petition in bankrupt- cy was filed and it was disclosed his assets amounted to Sl2,000, while his liabilities were about $60,OOO. His property still is ill litigation. It now develops that Lang went to Portland, where he was known under the name of Bland. A card bearing the name of "A. c. Berndt, Chicago was the only means of Identification left by Lang after he shot him. self in a Portland hotel. A phO- tograph was sent to Berndt and fife alton followed.

This young man is giving her
before marriage very small
sample of the line of conduct he
would pursue after marriage. If,
when he's counting, he shows that
he's tightwad, he will make one
of the skinfiint husbands who
expect wife to run house and
keep a good table on air, and who
asks a woman what she did with
the quarter she was given week
before last.
II. before marriage. a man neg
lects the little delicate attentions
that please a woman, after mar
riage he will be brutally disre-
gardful of her feelings and tastes.
The difference between having
a husband who remembers your
birthday and one who forgets 1t
Is the difference between matri-
mony that Is angels food and
matrimony that is plain corned
beef and cabbage, but the differ
ence between being married to a
man VINO is anxious that you
should be pleased and happy and
being married to man who
doesn't care whether you are
happy or miserable is the differ
ence between heaven and hell.

ken over the wires, but who could
object to that? They, too, are
refined, abbreviated and made
more pointed.
The telephone has done a great
deal for freedom of speech clear
ing it of obscurity, of prolixitv
of pretense, OF false modesty.
and especially of that element OF
personal shrinking which affects
the sincerity of utterance, face
to face, of all but the most frank
and fearless spirits. Very few
men express their real thoughts
as boldly and straightforwardly
IN ordinary conversation as they
do in the quasi impersonal CON
verse that occurs at the tele-
phone. OF course, there is an
other side to the picture. The
man who has something to oon-
ceal behind his speech probably
finds relief in the absence of the
penetrating eyes of his interloc-
utor when he talks by telephone;
he is, as it were. protected by .
screen.
Still, the advantage remains
with sincerity and frenlcnsss,
and one can say painful, but
necessary, thing much more cas-
lily by telephone. Perhaps IL tha
right Of woman to propose mar
rage is ever put into practices
(see Hearst's Magazine for Oc-
tober on this subject), 1t will
first be done by telephone. The
truth would be told, and the
bushes and confusion spared.
1t is unnecessary to refer to
the enormous saving of time, and
the tremendous fertilization Of
business that the telephone has
effected. At the close of 1912
the whole world contained IA
$4,000 telephones. of which the
United States had 8,357,625, and
all Europe only 3,153,0o0.

Marriage Never Alters Man or Woman

n YOUNG girl is engaged to
~ be married to a young man
who comes to see her
nearly every evening, but who
never brings her a flower, nor a
box of candy nor takes her to any
place of amusement, except very
occasionally to the movies"
This girl is nice girl. There
isn't a bit of the CRATER about
her, and she wouldn't know the
first principle about how to go
about working a man." but she's
young, and gay of heart, and she
loves the amusements that be-
long to her time of life, and she
finds it a trif1e dull to spend all
of her evenings conversing with
even her sweetheart.
She would like little diversion
thrown in on the side. and she
wants to know of me If 1 don't
think 1t queer that her fiance
never takes her to a dance, or to
the theater. or out for a little
supper.
l think it Is more than queer"
I think that this girls Guardian
Angel is strictly on the job look
ing out after her, and that she has
received a solemn warning not to
marry that man, and that II she
doesn't take the tip she will rue
it to the longest day she lives.
