PARTING FROM
 HER SWEETHEART

..other arms may press thee.
 Dearer ones caress thee.
 All the joys that bless thee
 Sweeter far may be; But when those you love are nearest. And when your joys are dearest
 Oh then remember mer
 There are young women who de- clare that they would not care a snap of their fingers if their eweethearts took it into ff1eir heads to take French leave of them after a lovers quarrel. A eiFI is sure to declare she would not give him a thought; he would not cause her an extraAheart tfrob.
 If anything of that kind happens. cold indeed must be the affections of the girl if her outlook on the world is as bright and rosy when he was by her side. It takes time for those who are the deepest, in love to get used to each others ways They may meet many. but some one man is all ways more congenial than all the otla- CTS. ssSsss#sf
 If they parted in anger. the girl de- bends upon his love for her. to cause him to be anxious for a reconciliation- Having had some one at her beck and call to take her hither and thither she feels most keen1y her isolation. She cannot go to the theatre dn the eS<7 to see the play, because she has no escort. For the same reason, she cannot accept the invitaaion of q girl friend. She could not very we'll go home alone if the hour was late.
 When the twilight hour draws near, she is bound to think of him. It was then she was wont to look for his coming. Lovers never know how dear they are to each other until they are parted; especially if 'it may be for years and it may be forever
 A girl should think twice ere she parts with her sweetheart saying, tsI don't care if never see you again. 7 She knows we'll that she does care. I4ife would not be the same to her if not shared with him. No matter what provocation she may have to make their parting an angry one, she should recollect that a gentle answer turneth away wrath.
 It takes two to quarrel. 1t may be her lovers secret intention to return to her. But much may happen to thwart his plans If he is a lover whose servuces belong to army or navy, he may be called away sudden ly If they have parted Tn bitterness, he takes that memory with him Tn every engagement with the foe there are those who will survive; some will fall If her lover was destined never to return, she would have the realiza-

FAMILIARITY BREEDS
 CONTEMPT

Dear Miss Libbey:
 [ have. been going with a young man for almost a. year and love him dearly, and believe he loves me, as he has told me so. have kissed him several times, but after seeing a piece in this mornings paper that you wrote. it seems as though you don't approve of kissing. Now have done any wrong? am not engaged to him. although he said he was go- ing to make me his wife. How many times a week do you think a girl ought to sec Q fellow if they really love each other? Many thanks for an answer
 DoUBTFyJJL L.
 It is w4sest and best not to permit kissing until you are betrothed to the young, man. Familiarity breeds contempt. Even engaged couples should be wary of kissing too much or the kiss too long. A young man who comes courting with intention Of marrying might be welcomed three evenings a week and Sundays as we'll.

THE VIRGIN MOTHER.

| She wrote no books; she painted no pictures; she thrilled no audience l with her elouuence; she inaugurated no great reform. She spent her life
 in none of the brilliant spheres for
 which many of our girls sigh to-day. She simply lulled a little Babe on her breast; she pressed. it's face close to her mother-heart; she went about her household duties there in a Naza- rene kitchen, she filled her water pitchers at the well. lighted her fires, and prepared her frugal meals, un- waited upon, unattended by any, save the angels that hovered unseen. Yet through all ages past. and through all ages to come, her name is. and will ever remain. the most blessed among women.
 Artists may paint. writers may write, singers may sing. right on to the end of tina but none can ever hope to rival in intending love and reverence the wife of the humble car penter of Gani1ee. They are all but as earth's tiniest candle to Heaven's s brightest star. Earth's greatest wo-
 man was great by virtue of her moth erhood. 4.si Aaassssgz
 A maiden of Judea went up so close
 to the throne of God; she kept the chamber of her heart so pure that the Lord of Hosts entered in and laid
 upon her breast the Saviour of men.
 Earth has nothing greater than the loving devotion of a. woman who is pure in heart. We need Marys from | Nazareth yet; we need them every Where. Let our girls aspire by all
 means. Let them be ambitiof1s 1,ut
 let them not forget amid life's fever
 ed rush to sit often at the feet of the
 Master to learn His touch, to get the
 hadonna secret. The Catholic | Transcript.

While Nine. Caillaux, who
killed the French editor. certain
ly committed a dreadful wrong,
yet there are women whose hus-
bands have been and are being
bounded by certain newspapers
that will deeply sympathize with
her. Murder, of course, is rare
ly, if ever, justifiable, but ner-
vous or highly strung persons
can, we have no doubt, be driven
to such straights by continual
bounding that in their frenzy
they will do almost anything to
rid themselves of the torment.
An editor who makes the life of
any one miserable by continual
abuse is deserving of severe
punishment, but taking his life
is the wrong thing to do. The
laws Of both this country and
France seem to be wonderfully
weak in protecting its citizens
from the malicious uttcrances Of
unscrupulous and malignant
editors, and public speakers as
well. The possibilities are that
Nine. Caillaux will be acquitted.

1t is, indeed, strange what
some people will attempt at
times to either show their
bravado or gain notoriety.
Joseph Knowles left his camp
near Grants Pass this week and
struck out into the wilderness
with the expressed intention of
remaining thirty days. He was
entirely naked and took with
him neither food or arms of any
kind, not even a match or a
handkerchief to wipe his nose.
He proposes to live as the wild
beasts do, or as Nebuchadnezzar
is said to have done. II is a
foolhardy thing to attempt, but
not impossible. Any one can
do it if they have the luck and
stomach to live on berries, nuts,
grass, etc., for a period of thirty
days. But most people would
rather not.
