Of getting married as practiced by this
winner of three men is this:
The girl who wants a husband must
have Cd sympathy; CD a sense OF

She may have Cd Beauty; (2) busi-

She must have (1) A desire to argue;
(2)masculine manners; (3) sense OF

And even IL she lives up to all these
categoric requirements q widow or q

THE feminine trait which makes the
biggest sort of a hit with almost any

Queer Typographical Twists

An amusing twist Of the type once
developed in proof sheets, and it was
luck that the paper did not print the
item and cause a sensation. 1t was in
a Southern city, and the Confederate
Memorial Day is held about a week after
the customary Memorial Day north Of
the Ohio River. In writing about the
parade and the old soldiers who had
worn gray uniforms in the war between
the states. the reporter mentioned the
''battle-scarred veterans" who had
marched through the streets.
When the proofs of the story came
from the composing room. the type
made them "battle-scared veterans
This, of course was corrected and sent
back to the composing room with the
request for a revised proof. These
came down and the "battle-scared vet
terans" had grown into "bottle-scarred
veterans" Back to the printer went the
proofs and on the third attempt they
were finally referred to as battle
SCARED veterans"
On the Pacific Coast the newspapers,
in abbreviating the Southern Pscinc
Railroad. call it the "Espee." One time.
however, in an item about this railroad
system, the type made 1t the Escape"
but there was nothing in the item to in
dicats from what 1t had escaped"

The ideal wife is one who is able to
provide for her husbands mental and
spiritual comfort and encouragement as
we'll as for his material we'll being.
The superwoman will own a supreme

last beginning to realize the awful handt-
cap of spiritual weakness. Once they
made it a matter of pride and the fash
ionable lady considered her ability to
faint at moments notice a sure sign
of breeding and refinement. But giving
her heart and lungs and feet room to
move, the modern woman takes a long
step toward superwomanhood.
The day is coming when every woman
will be beautiful. There is a mistake
somewhere when a woman hasn't
beautiful face. just as there has been
mistake when she has a beautiful face
and a soul that doesn't match.
I'm the superwoman we shall find in
flower three virtues budding in the soul
of the woman Of today-honor. tolerance
and courage. There will be an end to
petty lies. mean prejudices and unworthy
timidity.
THE Indian poet Tagore has a line
splendidly expressing superwomanhood.
1t is this: Where the mind is without
fear and the head is held high And
Of course to win this state the mind must
be educated, not in the schools alone but
through contact with life. A superwom-
an without brains Of the first order Is in

will be willing to devote her life 70 one

sons daughter who falls in love with
young student at the parsonage and Is
caught by the father in the students

ment of virtue is on such high plane
and is driven home with such apparent
sincerity it is worth while quoting parts
of the play in view of Mr.. Hamilton's
subsequent conduct.

with this conversation between the par

Harry-That's just exactly what l

wrights if they had collabOrated on a
farce for 20 years couldn't possibly
have produced a play so hilariously
funny as the actual and serious situation
they have brought about in their real
lives.
Cosmo Hamilton has written reams of
pages most of which preach the beauty
of innocence, the desirability of being
very very good. the value of remaining
virtuous and the utter loveliness Of
purity in all things.
Guy Reginald Bolton has written a
play, The Rule of Three" In it he
talks of women and marriage with the
assurance of one who knows practically
all worth while about both subjects. He
is quite sure how a woman can win
man. how a man can win a woman and
how each can hold the other.
And yet Cosmo Hamilton. the preacher
Of innocence. purity and virtue, fell in
love with the wife OF Guy Bolton, the
knower OF women and marriage. But
Cosmo Hamilton did more than that. He
so comported himself with Guy Bottoms
wife that Guy Bolton found it very easy
to get a divorce from her and the GUS
tody of a child. Now Bolton is living
alone while both the late Mrs. Bolton
and COsmo Hamilton are residents OF
England.

The members of the board of county

it will require the doing without what
the county actually needs to keep the
machinery running at all until next

In fact, Chairman Eli T. Simmons
has seriously considered adjourning the
board until next April, as there is little
use in meeting, SO he states, with no
funds with which to work.
The last session of the legislature
made it impossible for the county board
to issue deficiency warrants without

A gentleman who is entirely reliable
tells that man in Idaho, some months
since. was found with bottle of beer
in his possession.
He was arrested, arraigned and con-
victed. The law of Idaho makes that
offense punishable by a term in the
penitentiary. The victim appealed, and
the Supreme court has just handed down
an opinion that the law is constitution
al OF course such law subjects a
druggist to like penalty if liquor,
wines or beer are found in his store.
This makes it impossible for druggist
to fill prescription if any liquor is in
cluded with the other compounds.
The passage of such law is prima
fasie conviction of lunacy OH the part
Of the people and their representatives.
The experience of such law will leave
the effect in few years of filing the
State with liars, sneaks and people in
dierent to righteous laws and with a
contempt for a government that passes
and enforces such law, for when the
personal liberty of men is throttled and
disregarded, it does not require any
great length of time for men to become
incendiaries in thought and scrubs and
sneaks and criminals in acts.-Good-
