This is going to be a poor year for
the rabbit politicians, advises the Her

does anything that way.
A political diagnosis, from the Shaw
nee Chief: If Henry Allen can corral
the votes of all the baldheaded men
and Victor Murdoch can build q fence
around the redheaded men. there is go

gressives this fall.
Mrs. o. Fulmer is probably working
overtime these days baking pies and
cakes and other goodies. o. Fulmer Is
quoted by the Shawnee Chief as say
ing: In nine cases out Of ten a mans
business success depends upon his
wife's business abilities.
How is this for a COW story? asks the

A Pearl OF Price.
They are fools who kiss and tell
Wisely has the poet sung.
Man can hold all sorts OF posts
If he'll onlv hoId his <onw,,a -

AsAdH CdA uOlQ all sorts OF DOStQ
II he'll only hold his tongue"
They are fools who kiss and tell.
and they are equally great fools who
kiss those who are likely to tell. or al
least have no special motive not to
tell.
There came to my ears the other
day q miserable bit Of gossip about q
young girl I used to know. She has
been married scarcely a year. and she
ls carrying on miserable filtration
with young man who is supposed to
be one of her husbands friends-save
the mark!
She talks with him on the telephone
almost daily, corresponds with him,
goes to walk with him and frequently
lunches with him in town-an without
her husbands knowledge.
whence came this piece Of gossip
From her neighbors? No. although ]
understand that, like most neighbors
they are enjoying the situation, my
Information did not come from them
Nor did it come from the woman In
the case. Foolish though she is. she
gossip about herself
No. my information came from the
person from whom such information
all too often comes, from the mar
himself. Not directly, of course, but
friends Of mine. The original con-
fidante I believe was another girl, a
girl whom he has always liked and ia
whom he was explaining the gossip
that had reached her.
Incidentally the explanation included
statement on the mans part, that
the woman insisted on being in touch
with him every day and would call
him up or write him by special mes
senger IL she didn't hear from him
daily. Furthermore he implied that
she actually encouraged him to make
love to her.
Now Of course this may be greatly
exaggerated. and doubtless the man,
true to his first ancestor, puts alto
gether too much blame on the woman.
But what want to bring out is this
the absolutely insane folly OF the
woman in putting her reputation into
the hands Of such q cad.
You say she probably thinks he ia
honorable. Listen. There are nine
thousand. nine hundred and ninety
nine chances out Of one thousand that
any man who will deliberately come
between husband and wife as this man
is doing, doesn't know what honor
means
The woman who trusts such q man
with her reputation is giving a pearl
of great price to a self acknowledged
thief.
Putting aside the question Of moral
ity, it is beyond my comprehension
how any woman can do such foolish,
risky thing merely for q little excite
ment and emotional stimulus.
1t Is most emphatically one Of those
games that are not worth the candle.
I advise any woman who il drifting
consider before she places her repu-
tation at the mercy Of one who 80
plainly shows his unfitneoa for that
dangerous power.
