CAREFUL CUPID.
st. Joseph Club Women Want
Couples Desiring to Marry to
Show at Least $500.

Missouri is changing it's laws
and into its new scheme of society
a ST. Joseph clubwoman is trying
to inject a provision requiring all
couples desiring to marry show at
least 5000.
Poverty, shiftlessness and fail
ure to save cause more divorces
than anything else" she argues.
She may be right, but the chan
ces are that the little winged god
is not worrying his arrows with a
few ounces of gold.
1t may be foolish to rush into
this responsibilities of matrimony
minus cash, but the world has
grown on such foolishness
Shall thoughts turn to sayings
of money when the most glorious
girl of the ages smiles and gently
intimates a desire for flowers or
candy or picnics or trihes?
When a simple Eyes" makes a
universe too small a gift in return
for that confidence?
When the generosity of soul is
boundless and only capacity limit

Later it is true that 5000 might
come in handy. Later life may be-
come more real-but the glory of
real love is that it doesn't stop to
count its pennies; it doesn't stop to
consider consequences; it never
pauses to glance at bank accounts;
but lifts those whom it visits to

ICE CREAM SODAS.
First One Served Was in The Spring
of 1874 at Philadelphia.

Various persons have claimed
the credit of discovering or in
venting the ice cream soda, out OF
which developed the sundae, the
later name having been applied to
it, according to legend, because a
druggist originated the delectation
on the first day Of the week.
According to general judgment
Robert NJ. Green of Philadelphia
was the first man to serve an ice
cream soda. In the spring Of 1874
Mr.. Green was agent for John Mat
thews of New York and at the same
time had begun the manufacture of
smaller fountains of his own. He
obtained a concession to dispense
soda water at an exposition, held
under the auspices of the Franklin
Institute of Philadelphia, and stress
of business compelled him TO at
tract the attention of the public.

nous demand and given great i'm
petus to the business of soda water
On the other hand, the credit
for concentrating ice cream as
an adjunct to soda water, even
though Mr.. Green was the first to
use it, belongs to Fred Sanders of
Detroit, a confectioner of the Michi-
gan City. The inspiration to use
ice cream with soda water came to
Mr.. Sanders one night when his
plain cream had soured, and with
out the knowledge that it had al
ready been used as a component of
soda water in the east, Mr.. Sanders
used ice cream and featured it, He
probably did more to popularize ice
cream soda than any other fountain
owner in the country.

In Behalf of The Rooster.

Iowa newspapers are making a
great fuss over the Iowa hen, CIV
ing her paragraphs of praise and
columns of commentator, but not
one word for the Iowa rooster This
is rank discrimination against the
noblest Roman of them all. Who,
if you please, starts the Iowa sun
on its glorious flight across the
skies? The rooster, of course!
Who crows defiance to all creation
at 800 a. m. and cackles to beat
the band when an egg is laid? The
rooster Who spies the hawk or
hears the first rustic of danger and
makes for cover in great alarm?
Why, the rooster. And who is the
first to meet the AK and get it in
the neck and turn UP his legs in an
ocean Of gravy, in which float giz-
yards and liver and giblets and
and-the rooster. Noble old bird.
Long may he teeter on the top rail
of the fence, and if he wants to
cackle because someone else laid
an egg it shows that he is a good
sport and willing to applaud the
efforts of the female popu-
lation. Long may he live! but not
too long.

What Dimes Will Do.

Land is cheap. For easy figuring
let us say it is worth $3.50 an acre.
A square rod, then, is worth only
81, and ten cents worth will be a
little more than twenty-seven
square feet, or a little farm slightly
more than five. feet on side. How
often a boy will waste a dime and
think nothing of it. For a dime he
can buy land enough to hold a
flower bed, four hills of clover or
a peach tree! The boy who can
save a dime can become rich. Make
a dime look like tiny farm. The
boy who learns to save a dime and
to know values will some day come
into his own.

THE FLY is DOOMED.
just Sprinkle Common BOrax on All
Refuse, and He Will Disappear.

The doom of the germ-carrying fly
is seen in a new discovery by the de-
partment of agriculture. 1t is de-
clared to assure the complete EXTERN
ination of the common household
pest that is largely blamed for
typhoid.
The simplicity of the method, con-
sisting of sprinkling a small amount
of ordinary borax daily upon house
hold and stable refuse, is said to
guarantee its success.
