One of the Improvements that will
be urged this summer according to re-
ports the past week is the building OF
a bridge across the Wenatchee river at
the foot of Eighth street. The proba-
BILE cost has not as yet been estimated
but the promoters will try and work up
a deal whereby the county, city Eand
property owners will stand the expense.
The proposed site is just the place for
a bridge to span the Wenatchee river
and would make the south side OF the
river only few minutes walk from the
heart of the city.

ROMANCE IN LIFE OF POET
First Girl Loved by Ariosto Immortal

Production.

Ariosto's first love was a beautiful
girl, who was once dearer to him. ne
writes, than his own soul, and whom
he immortalized as Ginevra di Scozia
in his Orlando Furioso." With the
proverbial fckleness Of a bard, how
ever, he abandoned this girl for the
young and buxom widow Of Tito Stroz-
ri, Florentine noble, who, from loV-
ing the poets lucubrations, was tempt
ed to love the poet himself. sne
looked seductively pretty, Ariosto tells
us, in her weeds, the somber tint
of which was relieved by wreaths OF
vine leaves and punches Of grapes IN
purple and gold; while her fair, lux,
uriant hair, gathered in a net behind
and parted in 'front.' fell down on
either side of her face in long curis'
touching carelessly her snow-whlte
shoulders. On being asked why sne
thus adorned her mourning dress, the
coy relict replied: d.. ..s,s., =.

dence in their powers to entertain
they would rather refuse the invita-
tation Of pretty girl to her home
than accept.
II the homely man musters up suf-
dciens courage to call upon young
lady whom he admires and finds a
hanc0ome. dashing young fellow in
her parlor, he would gladly beat
hasty retreat ere he has had the op-
portunity to seat himself. II he but
knew 1t, while young women duly ad-
mfre manly beauty, when it comes to
taking life partner ten girls out Of a
dozen would prefer the homely man.
Why? Well, they would tell you
score Of reasons, but giving you just
q few Of them is sufficient. Where
man is given handsome face he is
apt to be little selfish at heart. He
is used to admiration and looks for
1t from women. Marriage does not
seem to stine this egotism. The
homely man is used to have Eighty,
frolicsome girls pass him by for his
frolicsome brothers. But when he
finds one maiden In whose eyes tho
lovelight shines for him, his sincere
gratitude and delight are boundless.
His reverence for womankind is part
of his religion. He is so anxious to
please and secure the girl that he
doesn't stand long on ceremony, but
proposes In short order to settle his
doubts and fears.
Happy indeed is the woman who Sc
cures him for a husband. He Is all
devotion for her. Home, wife and
children, are his first consideration.
He throws himself into business with
a zest to surround them with COM
forts, aye, luxuries. It Is seldom or
never the very homely man who fig
hres in scandals or who is caught
flirting with lively maids when his
wife Is OF for the summer. His heart
is a jewel. even though the setting is
plain and rugged. Years go on; his
peace of mind and contentment show
in his face, his lips wear a smile.
The man who is handsome in his
youth and at least meets and battles
with that formidable bugbear, Father
Time. becomes disgruntled and cross.
To outlive his good looks, pass
through a crowd unnoticed, is ca
lamity to him. Good looks are we'll
enough in a man, II he does not bank
too much upon them. In the race for
love, 1t is usually the homely man who
carries of the prize. Plainness is not
handicap in a woman's eyes.

Jacob Estey, one q the pioneer max
ers of pianos and organs in America,
was born in Hinsdale, N. H., one hun.
dred years ago. His youth was one
of adversely, and it was only by the
hardest work and personal sacrifice
that he was able to obtain a common
school education. At the age OF TWEEN
ty-one he bought with his savings an
interest in a business for the max
ing of melodeons. For number of
years thereafter he acted as his own
salesman, travelling through New Eng
land and Canada selling his instru-
ments. With the profits thus obtained
he embarked in the manufacture of
pianos and organs. His business grew
rapidly, and at the time OF his death,
in 1890, 1t was the largest Of its kind
in the world. Mr.. Estey spent his
large fortune literally for good pur-
poses. He was the chief founder of
Shaw university for colored people
at Raleigh, N. c.

In the Hampton Trade school, and,
indeed, in other departments, a stu
dent is rated for speed. accuracy, judg-
ment, initiative, earnestness. neatness,
responsibility and conduct. OF course,
all of these factors do not receive the
same weight, but they do form the
baeis for judging individuals. Hampton
applies, in its daily routine. the COM
mon tests OF everyday life used in the
outside world where men and women
must stand or fall according to the
standards which they attain in their
work.
Learning by doing, turning disad-.
yantages into advantages, making the
best use OF ones resources-these are
some of the fundamentals in the
Hampton idea OF education. Service
and self-sacriflce form the core Of the
Hampton training. Results in good
citizenship and safe leadership char
acterize Hampton's work.

POINTING OUT GIRLS.

You touched my heart: it gave . thrth
Just like q rose
That opens Ut 4 lady's will;
Its bloom q alwnys yours until
You bio 1t close. ......
There are girls who are modest A.
most to shyness. There are others
Who seem to take delight IN dressing
loudly - that is, wearing skirts 30
tight that they cannot step on a street
car safely, or porkpie hats 80 bizarre
that they attract attention wherever
they 90 and are always pointed out
as examples Of audacity. They do not
have a good time where they are not
noticed, admired and catered to. es-
pecially by the young men.
Every girl seems to endeavor to
specialize in some particular accom-
plishment. Each likes to be pointed
out, to have folks say Of her as she
passes by: There goes the spright-
hest tango dancer in town." Or, You
ought to hear that girl play the piano
Why! she'd make Paderewski sit DIP,
and take notice"
Other girls like to be pointed out
for their beauty Of face, and to draw
particular attention to their comeiy
features they make liberal dips Into
the paint Jar, and rouge saucer, to
say nothing OF tinting their hair the
popular shade. She whose laugh Is
louder than her companions makes
bid for attention, as do girls who are
foolish enough to tell risque stories in
the parlor. thinking it cute and that
they will be pointed out as being clev-
er and vivacious-
While young men may be eager to
be introduced to these different types
of girls, or to beau them about for
awhile, when it comes to marrying
we'll, that's quite a different matter.
It's a very strange type Of man who
would want to marry the loud-talking,
slangy. painted girl, who has no
thoughts higher than tangoing or Gre
atins sensation. 1t is the modest, IN
conspicuous girl who wins a mans re-
spect that ends in love. There are no
truer words than those which the poet
has given us: THE rose which all
are admiring Is not the rose for me!
I'd rather have the modest maid whom
no one seems to see!"
The unobtrusiye girl, who shrfnks
from being pointed out. never loses
her hold on the friendships she Shakes.
The lover who courts her is sure that
he has got . prize. He loses no time
in bringing her to the altar.
His home is one of contentment
with her by his side. He trusts to her
good Judgment and wisdom never to
shame him by loud dressing or bois-
ferrous manner. 1t is most always the
girls who call attention to themselves
on the street or in public places who
are obliged to walk the road Of single
blessedness. A girl should think over
this, and give no cause to h pointed
out.
