which fall DULY on the one mans
ears who has paid her the compliment
of choosing to WOO her from all others
with marriage intent.
She losses her head high in the air
as she laughingly leases him, imply
ing that he Is not going to link his
future to a lady like her. From that
time on he supposes that his chances
are slim, If in fact he has any oppor-
tunity to wed this particular maiden.
A somber life a girl of this idea leads
who has never known any young
mans preference for her and who
never looks forward with sweet ex-
pectancy to having an ideal lover, who
may declare himself some one time,
proposing to be nearer and dearer
yet than all others.
If she has not the burden of others
upon Ter shoulders, she is turning
aside from the path of sunshine will
fully into the shadows that may en-
compass her. It has been said that
there is as much perverse nature in a
man as in q woman. But do they
show it whenever fancy wills?
By no means. They know that it is
wisest and best not to air their opin-
ions upon this all-important subject,
which means SO much to two hearts
that are trying to find out loves
meaning.
Perhaps she has higher ambitions
than he could hope to satisfy, 1t &C.
ours to him. Her parents home might
have more money expended in 1t than
he could promise her in his. II he
takes her at her word, then of what
use are arguments or love refrains?
1t is simply a waste Of time. he con-
cludes.
They part, and at that time she dis
plays more feeling for him than on
any previous occasion. She holds out
her hand and, with an air of sincerity,
half whispers. Let us always be good
friends whenever we see each other"
He is far and away from her ere she
has time to think If she will be happy
when single.

tention is attracted to another girl
one of just the opposite belief from
his former ideal. She has kind word
to say about the many married couples
whom she knows and prizes highly.
Her looks and the tone of her voice
bear unmistakable tendencies that
warns his very soul. He knew this
unspoken devotion had been wanting
before The CHEEKY smile of the glad
maiden who comes to open the door
of the unpretentious home for him was
a double assurance that he was well
come.
He puts heart, soul and energy into
his suit to win her, and was never
sorry that he had given up one single
young woman for her future happi-
ness.
Girls, say what you mean, when
there are nice young men coming who
expect to one day ask your hand in
marriage, about remaining single and
happy.

Heavy fighting man against man, followed day and night until January il. the Turcos battling brave ly with rifle, bayonet and knife. On the 18th the Germans began a coun- ter attack and the French soon were driven from the German trenches and also their own and were chased from the heights. Then they occupied fresh positions half way down the slope.
 The French, expecting further Ger man attacks, sent their left reinforce ments to that wing. The Germans, however. attacked on the center and right, the French being taken com- pletely by surprise Within three min utes the Germans captured the first line of trenches and that afternoon the entire border of the plateau was in German hands.
 The position of the French troops advancing against the German right became desperate and they surren- dered on the 14th when the right wing commenced an encircling movement.

NEW PRESIDENT ONE
 OF VILLAS OFFICERS.
Appointed to Meet Emergency Created
 by Departure of Gutierrez.

Washington, Jan. 17.-General Roque Gonzales Garza, one of Villas princi- pal officers, today is the executive head of that portion of Mexican terri tory controlled by the Villa and "a pata forces
 Advices to this effect reached the state department from American Con sul Silliman. Details of the term Of office which Garza will serve were lacking tonight. but the general be- lief in Mexican circles here was that he had been appointed temporarily to meet an emergency created by the sudden departure of General E-ulaIi1 } Gutierrez and members of his cabinet from Mexico City.
 Reason For Gutierrez Departure Un-
 known.
 The belief was expressed in many quarters that the convention now in session in Mexico City over which Roque Gonzales Garza has presided designated him to exercise the execu- tive power until a complete agreement can be secured with all elements on the man who is to fill the un expired term of Presidents Diaz and AEadero which would end on December q of this year. General Felipe Angeles and Df. Miguel Silva, former governor of Micheacan, are looked upon as the two most prominent candidates for the os- flee which is to be known as ''pre-con stItutional president the successor to be elected for the full constitutional term of six years. The reason of the departure of Gutierrez are unknown here, but the belief prevails that he declined to be continued under re- strictions suggested by the Zapata factions.
 Garza a Lawyer, 36 Years Old.
 Roque Gonzales Garza is about 36 years old and S a man of culture and education. He is a graduate Of the law school in Mexico City and has been practicing law for many wears He first came into prominence as a Nol:ln- teer colonei in the Nadero army which oyerUhrew the Diaz regime lis brother, Frederico Gonzales Garza. was for several months governor oG the federal district in Mexico City under the Madero administration. Roquo and his bTother joined General Villa soon after Huerta came into power and adhered to Villa since the very be- ginning of his friction with Carf9.nz1. At the Aguascalientes convention which named Gutierrez as temporary president, Roque Gonzalez Garza was floor leader of the Villa faction. His ability as an orator made him a con spicuous hgUe in the debates.
