could wish to turn girls into ladies. !"
That word in common usage referred
not to what a woman was, but TO what
she wore. If she wore kid gloves and
minded her ps and as she was lady;
il she wore cotton gloves she was a
woman; and If she did not wear gloves
and perhaps dropped her his, Sir Rob

match the word gentleman.
Sir Robert made interesting state

women at Mafeking, those being most
useful who had learned self-discipline
and command of their feelings. They
had developed those qualities SO much
admired In men with great patience,
and so would all women who gave at

school encouraged.

Honolulu insurance men, asked dur

these companies have large assets in
the United States which will not be
injured.

result OF the war scare. That each

believed to foretell the state of the
wind to be expected. are watched with
keen interest.
Should a pig show signs of laziness
and merely lie down or wander slowly
about the decks, this is considered a
sign of calm weather, with little or
no wind in prospect. but any friski-
ness and great amount of squeaIing
is hailed as sure sign of winds, a

PLAYING POLITICS.

II issvery difficult to keep politics
out o. city government and this is
shown BY the people Of Parkersburg.
-Four Democrats are running in the
primary for. the nomination for mayor
under the non partisan plan of cleo
ton and the Republicans held u con.
yention and agreed upon a Republi-
can candidate. II they want politics
in the election THU is about the best
political move we. have seen for some
time. The four Democrats will have
little chance to beat the one Repub-
lican - the Republican voters sup
port their selection. But there are
TO be two nominated and the voters
have a second choice from the Two
who secure the highest vote in the
primary.
Under the Parkersburg plan of
election whether 1t is non-partisan
or not. as ~ IS intended to be, there
ean besno double deals pulled On by
which one political party can get
control Of the government unless a
straight party fight 'ismade after the
nominations are made and one party
has q majority Of the vote. There is
