II is wonderful what an influence the
different seasons of the year have upon
people.
The young man and the bachelors who
were content with their clubs all winter
long look out at the sunshine and begin
TO plan what their amusements shall be
for the coming summer. They fish up
from their desks the list OF women
friends whom they meant to call on, Sc
Letting the girl whom they would like
to beau about, providing she is heart
whole and fancy free. Unconsciously,
they find themselves humming a love
tune as they wend their way homeward.
It's enough to make any mans heart
warm with admiration to see a good
looking girl arrayed in a pretty. inexpen-
sive spring dress Even the parlor. which
he remembered as a dark. cumbersome
room. seems TO have taken on the spirit
of spring. The dark velvet portieres have
vanished. There is no obstruction to the
sunshine which comes altering in at the
open window. It's too lovely a day for
indoors to the average man. He invites
her out for a stroll through the park.
There's something in the balmy air
which seems to induce tender sentiment
TO spring to a mans lips, which appeals
to girls. causing them to lend more
ready ear to softly-uttered words. II is
not too cold, yet not too warm, for long
rambIes. Ere the spring has mellowed
into summer. each has made fair
exchange to the ether ola heart. Spring
courtship is hardly a long one. Most
every couple agree that there is no
IA for uaddipUR "a
that of June.
Summertime is ideal for honeymooning.
The lover who allows spring to slip into
summer without proposing. unless there
is good reason for holding of, is liable
to go with a girl simply for pastime and
TO nave a pleasant companion to while
away tiRss--with no thoughts OF tying
himself down. Nor does he consider that
he is cheating her out of a good chance
of forming friendships elsewhere that
would probably terminate in marriage
While il is granted that love makes all
seasons his own. the little god is more
amenable in golden sunny weather to
tender influences than at any other time.
Neither man nor maid should discour-
age his advances Women are fairer.
more appealing to man, in the spring
time than at any other season OF the
year. The instinct in man Is stronger
to WOO and wed. just as it Is for birds
to mate when the clouds of winter have
passed away and the joyous earth bursts
into bud and blossom. All the world
loves a lover but the lover who comes
In spring is more welcome than all
others. Nine times out Of ten he is the

in the negro cells. This precipitated a fight. but as there is always more or less fighting within the jail 1t did not attract any attention until the white prisoners began to complain. It ap- pears that Pollard had badly beaten up several of the negroes and had gone downstairs to clean up the white pris- oners
 At this juncture Warden Glover ad- mitted himself to the jail and. grab ping the negro, tried to lead him back to the negro quarters. The negro re- sisted and sent Mir. Glover reeling with a terrific jab under the right ear. The warden drew his pistol and the negro jumped on him. knocking MT. Glover down. It was while Pollard was trying to take the officers pistol away as he lay on the floor that the revolver ex- ploded and the .44-calibre bullet ploughed its way from the knee to the hip on the right leg of the negro.
 The shooting caused considerable ex- citement and several officers were at once on the scene and restored order. Pollard, still unruly, was placed in an ambulance and carried to the Hilfman hospital where pr. Charles Whelan amputated his leg. It is thought that he has a chance to recover.
 An official investigation of the af fair will be made this morning by Com , missioner A. O. Lane.
