Is it any wonder that women read
with avid interest everything fake
and reaI-that pertains to the preser-
walton of their youth and beauty?
The average man, young or old,
wants only beauty, and beauty with
him in woman means youth. After
the climacteric period woman means
nothing to man.
Men select their wives because they
are good looking.
Mothers teach their daughters that
men respect only those girls who have
the domestic virtues, and they are
right with the exception that they
have used the word only in the
wrong place. What they should tell
their daughters, if they tell them the
truth, is that which any thinking wo-
man can see blazoned on the wall
of modern Iife-men only respect
girls of the domestic virtues.

they DON'T take them to parties;
they DON'T send them invitations to

THEY DON'T MARRY THEM!

 While no one can deny the rapid ad- vances made by the gentle sex during the last decade one fact stands out in bold relief. and that is that some one had to teach the game to these young women, and in the majority of cases their escorts were the persons who ac- complished the task. Therefore, while many of the gentle sex already possess sufficient knowledge If the national game to attend exhibitions and really under stand what they are looking at. there still remains vast numbers of fair maid- ems as yet unschooled in the rudiments of the game that Christy Mathewson Hans Wagner and Ty Cobb made fa- nous.
 Hundreds Making Sacrifice
 Although the condition of affairs is de- plorable, it is indeed very gratifying to know that hundreds of budding citizens are sacrificing the best part of their lives to escort these unsophisticated young women to the Polo Grounds and teach them the fundamentals of the game. When they learn the fundamen- tals the rest is easy.
 Apropos of the woman who cannot tell the difference between a ball or strike, the young man who essays to take her and teach her must possess all the requirements mentioned by the sage and then some Also he should re- ceive a Carnegie medal for his labor and his name should be enrolled in the hall of fame.
 To appreciate fully the difficulties which beset the young man who escorts to the Polo Grounds a maiden who does not possess the slightest idea of the principles of the game if is but necessary to obtain a seat in front or behind the pair and listen to the conversation that goes on between them. ]

Just now naturally some inference may be drawn was illustrated by a story told the other afternoon by City Clerk Thomas s. Mooney of Burlington. one evening some time ago, MT. Moon- ey said. man drove up to the resi- dence of a preacher in a small town over in Jersey and after violently ring ing the doorbell told the parson that Bill Bowker's Sally was awful sick with collie or something of the kind and wanted him to come right now.
 The good domino knew Bill Bowker. also his wife Sally. and thinking that spiritual advice was wanted. he picked up prayer book and accompanied the farmer to the wagon.
 T am sorry to hear that Sally is sick,' remarked the preacher in a syn- pathetic tone as he was about to step into the vehicle. Do you think that her condition is dangerous?'

 Lying down in her stable" exclam- ed the parson with look of mingled amazement and horror. What in the world is she doing in place like that?r
 Why, what do you expect?" was the surprised rejoinder of the farmer. Where in thunder else would ye keep a mule?"

 This is the inspiring order that quickens the pulse and stirs the corpuscles of every fighting man afoat, says the New York Herald. From the moment the ''pebe' enters the Naval academy he dreams of the moment when he will be called into action aboard one of Uncle Sam's sea monsters. Tie same applies to bluejack- cts and marines. for each enlsts with this goal in view.
 Now that our warships are mobilized in Mexicon waters and the air is freighted with war talk and radiograms, and the naval officers and the men aboard their vessels are being put through their paces by the fleet commander. every man jack of them is firm in the belief that media tion of the differences between this coun- try and Mexico will come to naught and that General Huerta will either precipi- tately flee his country or else face the consequences of his insult to the stars and stripes. With this thought para mount the daily drills aboard the big bat tleships and smaller craft go merrily on and not once, but many times that clar- ion call: Clear ship for action is flashed by wireless from the flagship to every vessel under the command of the fleet admiral.
 The Navy Ever Ready
 That our navy is ready and waiting for any part it might be called upon to play in the crushing of Huerta rule in Mexi- co is attested by it's prompt action Tn landing it's bluejaekets and marines in Vera Cruz and taking possession of that important seaport in the face of the dead ly fire from the guns of snipers concealed on housetops and within adobe windows. Landing drills had been of frequent oc currence in the Atlantic fleet and when Rear Admiral Badgers order to land was flashed through the anchorage every sail or and marine in Mexican waters was ready and eager to leap into the first boat that put out for shore.

 When the sage voiced his sentiments the time apparently had not arrived when women and young girls were suf- ficiently interested in the great national game to attend exhibitions and study the fine points, as they do at present. It is apparent even to those who attend ball games infreauently that more women are becoming interested in baseball and are showing a disposition to learn as much about the game as their male friends.

OPENS INTERESTING CON-
TROVERSY AS TO LAWMAKERS
Polk County Send Youth of "a Years
to Legislature. Claimed that
Laurels Were Assigned
Without Investigation

The election of Ernest Hatley, of
Polk county as a member of the Leg
islature at the age of "a has opened
up an interesting controversy con-
cerning the youngest law-maker of
the state, and it appears that there
are a number who claim the laurels
that had been assigned to Mr.. Hatley
without due consideration.
The palm seems to belong to former
Attorney General Hal. l.. Norwood,
now of Little Rock, who was elected
representative of Sewer County Sept
g, 1892, three weeks before his twen-
ty-frst birthday.
Festus O. Butt made campaign
for Representative of Carroll County
before he was twenty-one, and was
elected in September, following his
|21st birthday in February.
The late George p. Taylor of St.
Francis county was elected few
weeks after he had attained his ma
jority, having received the nomination
before his twenty-first birthday.
Col. J. w. House and Col. George
Thornburgh, both of whom are now
residents of Little Rock, were both
elected to the Legislature in 1870, at
the age of 23 years.
And Mr.. Hatley will be denied even
the distinction of being the "kid OF
the House" at the ensuing term, since
Oscar Ellis, recently nominated from
Fulton county, is only p years old.
