BY DOROTHY DIX


A discouraged young man asks me
TO tell him how to win woman
affections. He says that girls like him
well enough, that they eat his candy,
and go with him gladly to places of
amusement from which he gathers
/, that he is not obnoxious personally to
the fair sex. but that when he pops
the question the young woman is So
Surprised, and never dreamed that he
thought of her in that way, and is So
Sorry, and she'll be a sister to him.
and SO on.
But. says this young man, the Lord
has already provided him with all the
sisters that he needs. and that what
he wants is a wife, and so he asks me
to erect a few signboards along the
road to a woman's heart that fellow
may follow and not get lost.
OF course, to a certain extent lovers
are like poets. They are born, not
made. Your real. Simon-pure Romeo
knows instinctively how to get around
a woman. He's got a way with him
that no woman can resist, just as there
are women who have a come-hither
look in their eyes that's a magnet that
draws every man they meet to them.
These men and women have the genius
for love making.
But those of US who are not en-
dowed by nature with the romantic
talent can make a very good substi-
tute for 1t II we will. It's just mat
ter of playing the game, and while it
may be possible that not every man
can win the one woman of his desire.
it is certain that every man can make
himself popular with women If he
chooses.
AS for the leads in the game
Once upon a time I was sent to in
terview a man who had married forty
women, one after another. each of
whom he had robbed Of her little for
tune and then deserted. l asked him
what was his secret formula for win
ming a woman's heart, and he replied
contemptuously, Jaw, that's dead easy
Just talk to a woman about herself.

flocks, both young and old birds, de-
pends in a large measure upon his
system of management Perfect
physical condition is a barrier against
most diseases. II is all-important,
therefore, that the health and vigor of
the breeding stock shall be carefully
preserved and the chicks from which
this stock is renewed shall have every
painstaking care and attention so that
they will resist the infection of disease
and grow thrifty and strong.
Select Breeding Stock Now
Good matches of strong vigorous
having strong and vigorous constitu-
tions. This statement cannot be made
too emphatically, as the success or
failure of the poultrykeeper depends
upon the vitality and vigor of the
breeding stock.
Breeding stock for the next season
should be selected now. The 1914
pullets which have shown their abil-
ity to produce large numbers of eggs
during the past six months and have
continued to develop into strong, Wig
orous hens should be set aside for
breeders.
Careful selection should be made of
the effects of close confinement and
heavy feeding of highly concentrated
rations. These are the pullets which
have proven their right to be selected
as the parents of the future flock.
They should be given special atten-
ton. The regular egg producing ra-
ton should not be cut off too suddenly
but the feeding should be arranged so
that there will be a gradual reduction
of concentrated, stimulating feeds
with the substitution of a complete
diet of green foods.
The prospective breeding flock
should be removed to quarters where
the birds have access to free range,
absolute quiet, plenty of grass and
clover and above all, ample shade and
an abundance of pure, cold water.
If the change of environment and
diet has been gradual there is little
danger of forcing the moult, which is
exhausting to the fowl.
The male birds are much better
when kept by themselves in runs
where each bird may remain quiet and
not annoyed by the others. The males
must be kept in perfect physical con-
dition and not reduced to the extreme
which seems to benefit the hens.
Their diet should always be nutritious.

MilestoneS to a Girls Heart

The third lead in the game is the
sentimental card. Study a girls tastes
and crafty these and you've got her.
Men always say they can't understand
women. That's because they have
never thought it worth while to give
more than a casual observance of the
subject. For instance. a man has a
general idea that the way to please a
woman is to send her flowers, and
candy, and books. and take her to the
theater.
So far. so good. But he could get
double the value out of his money IL
he'd make his gifts personal. A man
will spend dollars buying American
Beauty roses when a girl has told him
a hundred times that violets are her
favor1te flowers. Or he'll purchase ex-
pensive boxes of chocolate creams
after he has heard her say. if he'd only
thought 1t worth remembering, that
she hates candy and dotes on salted
almonds. It's the man who sends a
girl panSies, because they are like her
eyes, OF jonquils because they met in
the Spring, who has studied her tastes
so that he knows just the book and
the play that will go straight to the
innermost part of her soul that can
win any woman's heart.
Whether the best way to win
woman is by watchful waiting or by
a whirlwind campaign depends on cir
cumStanceS. sometimes the caveman
method of wooing appeals TO a woman,
but ii is not to be denied that the man
who has the persistence to camp on a
girls doorstep also generally gets her.
The main thing is never to let a
woman make a doormat of you. Be
useful to a girl, but never let her use
YOU. Be generous, but not easy. Work
for her. but don't let her work you, be-
cause all love is bound to be founded
on respect, and no woman respects a
man who isn't a little cleverer and
stronger and foxier than she is
OF course. there are million other
roads than these to a woman's heart
but any one of these followed straight
will land Won at YoIr hearts deaira

and youn get her going every time"
These were words of wisdom as well
as the testimony of an expert. Talk
to a woman about herself and you'll
get her going, especially If you will
talk to her as If she were an intelligent
human being.
Men rarely do this. Most men talk
to a woman about themselves. If
you'll eavesdrop any conversation be-
tween a man and a woman, you'll find
him monologuing along about his busi-
ness. his automobile. his score at golf,
whatever he's interested in, without
giving thought as to whether the
woman is being bored or not
Or, If he talks to the woman about
herself, he is telling her what soulful
eyes she's got. and what a willowy
figure, and wonderful hair. OF course
we are all vain and we eat up what
ever kind of compliments that are
handed us. But women are not par
ticularly keen on being praised for
their attractions. What they are pin
ing for is for some man to show a
little recognition of the fact that
they've got minds and souls, too. So,
son, If you want to make a hit with a
woman, talk to her about herself, and
show real interest in her thoughts
and opinions. That's the fattery that
will hit the bullseye every time.
The second play in winning a wom-
ans heart is to act like a grown-up
man instead of a spoiled baby, or a
tyrant. Most men who fail with women
fall over one or the other of these
stumbling blocks. 1t doesn't make a
girl think what an agreeable life COM
panion man would make to see him
sitting up grouchy and sulky every
time he happens to find another man
calling on her. or she dances with
someone else. Nor does the independ-
ent, high-spirited modern girl relish
the idea OF a man trying to boss her
Freedom is the fetch of the feminine
soul in these days, and the man,
whether he be sweetheart or husband,
holds a woman tightest who holds her
on the easiest rome.

The discovery has created great interest in mining circles and men are now working on the various ad jacent claims with a hope of dis covering the same pay. The Sum init adjoining the Kathleen Is being worked by Sibley and M'Leod. while others are working on the Gopher and Surprise in what appears to be the same pay.
 This is probably the best strike that has been made in several years and will lead to the opening up of large territory which hitherto has been untouched. The entire country is being overhauled by stakers and prOspectors and an examination in titles has become quite general by many busy "prospectors." Almost all the owners have given leases in the neighborhood and there is the greatest activity possible In fact, so genuine is the discovery that it
