A.-Humans can not be lifted
out of sin; it is their nature to
90 wrong and be sinful Even if
it were possible TO change the
entire nature of human beings by
centuries of culture the work can
not be commenced so long as war,
alcohol and gluttony reign SUI
preme.
There is not money enough i'll
tho entire world to make impress
sion against the astonishing
mountains Of ignorance. In this
great United States Of America
one in 10000 perhaps has ever
heard that the universe is run by
laws, and does not know that
there are laws Of nature. Entire
millions are born. pass through a
lifetime in this otherwise beauu-
full world and die without really
having seen anything. Their eyes
see objects. motions and natural
operations. but their minds are
completely blank so far as know
ing OF what they are viewing.

Az
~ these questions;
why should a man or a
woman go over all the reasons
why he or she should not love
someone, and all the equally forci-
BILE reasons why some other one
who would be best and wisest for
him or her to marry, while he or
she knows that he or she loves
and wants the undesirable party?
In short, why should men and
women in love be like one who
flips a coin to decide a question,
and when it comes down heads
abides by the tail decision, any
how? Is this subtle thing we call
intuition, or the sixth sense, a
better guide in love than our
coarse, and by no means infalli-
BILE, reason?
A general blanket reply to
these queries is that men and
women love by instinct, and not
by rule. There is a mysterious
attraction of the individual, just
a s there is an attraction between
the sexes, that nobody can ex-
plain.
The wisest and most learned
scientists can not tell US why a
man picks some one particular
woman out of all the other wom-
en- TO be his mate, nor why a
woman gets up and follows some
one man to the ends of the world.
Nor do the man and woman
know themselves. The wife and
husband a man and woman have
chosen may be inferior in every
way to hundreds Of other men
and women with whom they were
associated daily. The world may
wonder at their selection, but to
the man and the woman there
were only one other man and
woman IN luS WuIlu'
It is part of the tragedy Of love
that the head and the heart do
not always approve of the same
person, and that the one who
fires our fancy seldom comes up
to our ideal
Thus a man, before he is hard
hit by Cupid's dart will tell you
that the woman he marries must
be intelligent. industrious, thrifty,
domestic, not given to fashion or
follv. and he will hold up his
hands in horror over the very
idea Of a man choosing for a
life's mate a giddy little thing
who is as pretty and as useless as
a painted butterfly.
Nevertheless, here comes along
the little butterfly and the next
thing we know the sensible man
is breaking his neck chasing aft
err her.
or IL may be a woman who is
poor. and who hates poverty with
all the ferocious bitterness that
pretty woman feels. All her life
the girl has loathed her squalld
surroundings and the sordid
makeshlfts that she has had to
contrive. All her life she has
longed for luxurious surround
ings. for pretty clothes and jew
els and all that would make a
proper frame for her beauty. The
sight of her parents struggle and
her little sisters and brothers ne
cessities has wrung her heart, and
she has grown up with the fixed
resolve to marry money II the op-
portunity ever comes her way.
Finally 1t does. A rich man,
who is good and kind and gener-
Gus and steady, one who could be
guaranteed not only to give her
all that she wants, but TO be a

model husband besides. asks her
to marry him She should by all
the laws of reason bless all Of her
gods for her luck and fall upon
his neck with devotion; but. alas!
her Grant heart has gone its own
way and bestowed itself upon
some youth without a penny to
bless himself with. and who is
wild and wayward and nothing
that her sober judgment com
mends. To marry him will plunge
her deeper into the slough of pow
erty than ever, and yet he is the
one that her very soul cries out
for
Nobody can explain these
things, and nobody can suggest a
remedy, for when the head and
the heart espouse different sides
IN matrmony there is happiness
IN following the lead of neither.
The marriage of reason where a
man marries a woman because
she is suitable, or a woman mar
ries a man because he can give
her a fine establishment, is a
cold-blooded affair that has no
more thrills in it than a jelly
hsh, and that pals on ones ap-
petite like a dinner of health
foods A woman may have all
the virtues under the sun, but un-
less there is something in her
that quickens a mans blood and
makes his throat get little tight
when he thinks about her. she
will become the WEAKNESS of
death to him. A man may be a
very paragon Of perfection, but
unless every time she looks at him
woman sees him through a rosy
mist of romance the bondage Of
her wifehood to him becomes iron
letters on her that clank in her
ears as she moves.
Nor is there any way to change
this. II men and women are not
in love with each other before
marriage they do not fall in love
with each other after marriage.
for matrimony is not a promoter
of romantic sentiments. It Is the
fell destroyer of illusions, when
both husband and wife inevitably
see each other in their worst
lights.
There are bound to be conflicts
OF opinion. clashes Of tempera-
ment, days OF taut nerves and ir-
rlta1oilitY all the sorry parade Of
little weaknesses and vanities.
and selfshness that disfgure poor
humanity, and nothing else on
earth but that inexplicab and
indescribable something that we
call love, and that makes one
persons faults dearer to us than
anybody else's virtues. one person
beautiful to us, no matter how
disfigured, that can make the
touch Of fever parched lips sweet
er to us than all the kisses Of
flower scented rosebud mouths.
can offset all the disenchantment
of matrimony.
Yet. on the other hand. if one
follows the heart and disregards
the head. there is only too often a
bitter awakening after the first
rapture Of love has spent itself.
for unfortunately life is a very
practical affair and romance and
sentiment are not legal tender
with the butcher and baker and
candlestick maker.

There you are,' Happy the few
whose judgments approve their

New York, Oct 26.-An enormous
impetus to Socialism and a world
wide spread of the revolutionary
spirit will be the result of the Euro

Europe has already taken tremen-
dous strides toward Socialism" said
Howe. "In every country involved in
the war the government has taken
control of transportation, telegraph
and telephone facilities and is exer-
cising a direct control over business
and food supplies.
Because war exists nobody seems
to regard this as remarkable or rea-

PAsToR- scoREs ALLEN

Edward Allen, warden OF. the Joliet
penitentiary, got rough handling
from Rev. M. P. Boynton, -Woodlawn
Baptist church, yesterday on the
movie films that show faces of pris-
oners. He also asked why Gov.
Dunno doesn't take action and stop
the films. .
The brag is made in the first reel
of the show that it was made under
the personal supervision of Warden
Edward Allen" .BoyntOn said:
Though disclaimers Of profit are
made, there is no possible excuse for
such cruel exposure of the state Of
our fellow beings who are condemned
to suffer penalties. We ask Gov.
Dunno: What are the facts in this
disturbing business? Give us a full
explanation or a thorough cleaning
I'D of the offices held by the men re-
sponsibIe for this shameful, greedy
exploiting of helpless men and wO-
men.

force so firmly the laws in the matter

hunters?"

PETITIONS
ARE LODGED
Asking For The Holding Of A
Prohibition Election
Sept. Il.

Petitions purporting to contain
twenty-six hundred names were filed
Thursday asking that a prohibition
election be held in Christian county
as whole on Sept. 81. The petition
shows surplus of about seven hun
dred names more than the law re-
quires to constitute a call. The pc
tition will be acted on Monday by
Judge Knight of the county copJt.
1t is understood the liquor men are
making plans to oppose the holding
of the election, but just what their
plans are is not known.
Conferences are being held and at
torneys have been retained to take
the matter into the courts in some
form or other. 1t is probable that
judge Knight will be enjoined from
calling the election on the alleged
ground that the Frost county unit
bill is unconstitutional. AS elections
are to be held in IA counties, it is be-
lieved that there is a general concert
Of action contemplated to test the
new law in the Court of Appeals.

Cows will eat wild onions in pref.

judging from the milk when they

comesa contributor to the Progress
sive Farmer with this declaration
it is worth trying where the pest is
grimly crowding other things out:
She ep will eat onions in preference
to any grass or clover known and
never will allow an onion to grow to
seeding height, unless there are
more onions than they can eat. No
matter how many onions the sheep
may eat. the flesh. when butchered;
never tastes or smells of onion.
Encourage the sheep husbandry. and
they will eradicate, or at least keep
down. the onions. and pay well for
the privilege Of doing 80.
