DO RICH MEN NEED LOVE!

If the rich man has had true com
 panionship of kin tenderly thrown about him, it may take the place Of ideal sentiment with him while he re-
 mains single. If he has never had the love of some sweet woman whom he pictured as being nearer and dearer to him that they might walk lfe's rosy path together, then he is not conscious of what he has missed in the realm of affection.
 Ambition and the piling up of riches
 are the attainments he has possessed. The wealth of love has never been law ished upon him. His heart has hun gered for the want of some one to share the gold he has bartered his best days for. The thought has crossed his mind, in odd moments, that she who sought happiness if united to him would pine away if his cares were add ed to her joys. Would he be Justified, he asked himself over again, to pass
 more of his time in the office, or at
 business places, than by her side after moons now and then. taking her to bright scenes of amusements or visit ing friends and giving theatre suppers for her sake?
 The serious thinker, deep down in his heart, knows that he is in need of love; for he craveS a sweet, kind-faced young woman, to whom he could look for guidance, listen to her wisdom when he comes home tired and lily disposed to anuse himself or others Her merry laughter would be music to his Nburdened mind. In fact, he pom dered over the new lease of life that would be his with the winning of a wife who would in truth be to him the better half"
 Can you blame the rich man for not letting the world know that he needs plans for future happiness until often it is too late to realize his dreams of the altar? The long, weary days of money getting hold no recompense for love and home for him. Relatives may give up the four walls of his costly surrounding. He is left alone to shift about, with servants to come and go: no one to safeguard his interest, to care whether he is sick, we'll or lonely.
 That there should be men of wealth living in just such list1ess sec1usion we all hear of, if we do not know them. Few realize how gladly many of these men of riches who are alone would ex- change places, if they could, with their neighbors and felIowmen whose lives are filled with woman's love and whose hearts are blessed with fond, endear-. ing children.
 Rich men who are unwedded do not have great objects to live for as some outsiders suppose. Wherever they go they see and meet with happy women and husbands they are proud of. They continually send gifts to numerous worthy charities. No one sees the moisture in the rich man'e eyes as he reads a letter of thanks now and then, the words added that his generous kindness saved their lives. Rich men will always need love as much as any of their felIowmen >do. None know the day he may find a. treasure in a true and tender-hearted mate, who somewhere is in waiting for cupid in him,

THE WHITE LIGHT ON HIGH LIFE

The approaching marriage of Presi- dent Wilson will afford a rare tit-bit for the social reporters. The eager curiosity that followed President and Mrs. Cleveland on their wedding jour ney has long been remembered. No doubt the present day sleuths will not be outdone by any predecessors. The least detail of gossip will be eagerly printed, and if facts can not be had. surnises sell equally well.
 The history of the prospective Mrs. Wilson will be written down to the smallest item.- A story on how she behaved at school. her manner of dancing, riding, playing tennis, wheth- CT she can cook and keep house or not, will sell at remuneratiVe price to almost any metropolitan newspa- per. Proper taste in dress is. a special article all by itself. As the slang goes, it is easy to see her finish.
 This insatiate curiosity seems com mon to all races and peoples. to both European royal families meet just the same inquisition as our presidents and it is no worse over there.
 To many people it is all very vul- gar. Yet the critics will probably read this stuff about the approaching wedding, and enjoy reading u. too.
 In Washin gton the people are said to become so used to seeing prest- dents that they attract little attention on the street. But the rest of the country is mostly denied sight and hearing of them. It is like becom- ing intimately acquainted with a, person through letters. but never meeting him. There is a human de- sire to see what the ears and eyes will tell you about him. Lacking this chance in the case of the presi- dent and his family, it is natural enough to try to form some mental picture through the personal details of their lives.
 All the same the newspapers should be decent, even in the face of ravenous demand. It looks as if the president and his bride would dodge the hungry horde by a honeymoon yachting trip. But that simply post pones the game until &leir return.

ON SHORT ACQUAINTANCE

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I am a young lady of 20. I met, re- gently, a young man; thought highly of him on our short acquaintance. Can any one tell whether I will ever meet him again? He is nice looking; does not live here. Is it proper for me to allow him to kiss me? He seems to think so much of me, and I believe he is all that is trustworthy and good.
 SB I do not think it is best for a young lady to allow her heart to go out to a stranger on short acquaintance. Bet ter have the companions2aip of those you have summered and wintered. Opinion is decidedly against a man who will think of kissing a girl he met xon short acquaintance and is not en- gagged to wed.

WANTS HER TO
 GO WITH RIVALS
Dear Miss Lfbbey:=

Dear Miss Libbey:- am a girl of 24, love a gentleman of "A. I never could care for any one else it seems. He says he loves me. We have been going together since Jan uary. He gave me a ring. Now he says his folks fuss about his going. He asks to quit a while. On certain occasions he wants me to go with some one else-a rival. I don't care to go with any but him. Only advise.
 K. M. H. He seems anxious to remain away a while. Those who love can hardly en- dure to be separated any length of time It's a strange request for a lover to ask his girl to go about with others who might win her love from him for all he cared or knew. I would not con slider this a fair request. Yet you may find a better, worthier suitor.

Poultry Products
 Plentiful, China
 Ships to England

Hankow, China. Oct. 12-Prices of eggs, chickens and other poultry are so low in the Yang-tse- -kiang valley that an English company has deveI- oped a large business in shipping such products to Great Britain.
 Practically every Chinese family in the remote country districts, as well as in the towns and cities, keeps chickens. The price of eggs in the villages accessible to river transpor- tation is now about three cents gold a. dozen. Spring chickens sell for about six cents gold each. In remote in terior points, where copper coins are stili1 largely in use, the prices are much lower.
 Many of the eggs purchased along the Yang-tse -kiang are dried for the use of bakers in Europe and other parts of the world. The whites and yoLks are dried separately.

Clarified Apples.

One cup water, two cups sugar, six large tart apples, one-half lemon.
 Make the syrup of the sugar and water. Peel the apples cut each in six uieces and cook in hot syrup until clear. Remove from the syrup and place in a glass dish. When all the apples are cooked add the lemon rind and juice to the syrup. Boil it until thick, remove the lemon rind and pour over the apples. In peeling the apples peel and cook but two at a time if you wish them to be very light yellow in color. If the apples are crowded in the kettle you cannot handle them easily and if allowed to stand after peeling, they will turn dark. This will serve six.
