A STEADY BEAU

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 love to read your talks Kindly ad- wise me. I am a girl, past IT, consid- cred nice looking Whats the reason boys do not care very much for me- Only at distance they admire me. do not care to keep company with me. am fond of nice young people. very. Would like to have steady beau. Am sself-congeious with strangers. Can I become more animated? Do I write well? Thanks for reply. BashfuI
 sC. K Some girls have a sensible manner which boys consider too superior for them They are justified thus in ad- hiring you atSa distance. Forget self consciousness with strangers and you, will become animated and as if to the manner born. You write plainly, well and interesting

1 "F5or though in the quiet evening
 Tou may give me the kiss of peace, Yet 1t we'll might be that never TOT me | The pain of the heart should cease i | Can we share in the belief of a great French writer who once said, some oL the most beautiful women in the Worid are those who are said to be strangers to emotion of every kind ?'' But in this theory cannot agree with him. Can didly, he must have overlooked the gentle appealing woman, soulful, earn est, whose heart beats faster TOT en- dearing words spoken; whose eyes glow lat a caressing touch; whose cheek dushes, and whose smile deepens at the sound of a well known, eagerly expected footstep. The face Of the woman is an inspiration to one Who beholds it light up with unnistakaoIe delight over the innocent prattle or little child; her brows cloud and lips quiver in deep soul sympathy over the sorrows of those who are unfortunate, as well as the woes of those near and dear to her.
 These are the women who have souls.
 Cold hearted, caam-faced, unemo- tioaaI women will often carry the hearts Of a class of men by storm for a while. Rut theirs is g false admira- ton; hckIe and not lasting.
 It is as natural for wonens hearts to glow with affection as it is for the birds to sing sweet songs. Remain ing affection is the solace of women who have missed life,s aim. love and marriage; for the many who have. been, disappointed in life because of an un- loving husband and indifferent chil- dren's neglect The woman who dis dains her share Of real love, as from believing that none is quite good enough for her, has much need of hu- man pity. Her heart never knows what the devotion is that is tender and sweet in life.
 No woman was ever made worse for the emotion that is soul-felt and ripens into homage. Tow could they exist, being dissatisfied with their lot; cher ishing only heartaches, envy, and dole fu1 day dreams? -he woman who is devoid of emotion has no one to greet her al. the threshold, to hold out the hand of welcome to her. Her cold, un responsive manner chills the ardor.
 Would-be admirers give up the oft repeated attempt to bring warmth and Icongentality to the cold. unmovable young woman.
 The girl who tolls, and the woman whose life is spent in a crowded board ing house is more to the liking of the man who would wed. Forced conver- sation. listening to uninteresting tales, exerting oneself to be agreeable are not to be feared by the simple warn- hearted maidens of toil, They love for love's true sake.
 Of course there are scores of women who know that they fail in depriving others cf Eaeir wonted affection. They have never made an experiment., of giving to others the delight of saying Kind words for doing the deeds of the Golden Rule by them. We all read over and over again of letting the sun- shine into the heart. It is these wo- men who do not trouble themselves as to what the world thinks about their being cold by nature, or of gentle in- clined. who know not the blessings of affection.

BOSCOBEL.

There was held the annual meeting
of the cemetery association. last Sat.
urday evening. No one thing in this
community is the object of more pride
and care than our beautiful city of
the dead, and everything that may be
suggested that will lead in any way
to the Identification of the sacred
acre is done. There is not a hand
somer cemetery in southern Wiscon-
sin, or in any other state, so we
think in Boscobel.
It is announced that Boscobel will
soon have another shoe shop. Mr..
Beier, now of Wauzeka, is said to be
first class repair artist, and he is to
be our new shoe man.
That is a nice little story that is
being told here, of how a squirrel on
the wire between here and Fenni-
more caused a turnout of the wire
and left Boscobel, until repair could
be made. This is true story, but
stranger than fiction.

PLATTEVILLE.

Platteville will hold it's Chautauqua
on August 3 to 8, both inclusive. AT
present the details are not given out,
but it is said that good program is
in preparation.
A former resident of this city,
Frank Hawley, died at his home in
Minneapolis one day last week. He
was born in Platteville, but has been
in the great northwest for a great
many years.
Platteville pulled off a prize figfS
on st. Patrick s day, but somehow
our people take small interest in the
event. Even our newspapers do not
seem to take much pride in such per-
formances, when we have them, for
two papers scarcely mentioned the
last bout in advance of its occur
renee, and after it was all over
they seemed to keep mighty mum
about it.
The Frank l.. Long company will
be here half of this week. A fine
list CT bills will be presented, and
we hope to see the opera house filled
each evening.
Platteville had big pay roll, in
taxes. The city collector gathered in
more than $25, 600, which was turned
over to the county treasurer week
before last Probably this was the
largest sum collected by any munich
pality this year, in Grant county.
A petition has been circulated, and
now it is fed with the city clerk,
which calls for vote on the wet
and dry proposition. 1t is not
now known how many signers were
on the petition, but enough names
were there to insure submission.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Mcbride and
two children, have been here from
Minneapolis for a few days. They
are going to the California eXposi-
tion-the Panama shuw-before re-
turning to their home in the north
west
