and the lip" applies to falling-outs,
partings and breaking-offs, which are
not easily forgotten, at least for some
time. They think of each other even
after they have turned their faces
away and vowed to give up all
thoughts of love and lovers.
When a girl is deeply in love. her
desire is to leave nothing undone to
make the home where she is living
charming and attractive. She bends
her task in this direction to please.
Her face beams with smiles and re-
fleets sweet, precious thoughts, in
which dear Somebody always figures.
A girl has no time to fritter her gold
en- hours away in loves enchantment
upon constant sutton who steers
clear of the marriage proposal Dur
ing the time which she has devoted
to him, with the declaration Of love
and marriage undecided, she might
have attracted, been wooed and be-
trothed to one who would have made
a good husband for her.
Falling in love means sacred VOWS
exchanged; constant visits are sup
posed to indicate that his heart has
gone out to her. Marriage follows.
Falling in love and carrying out the
intentions of going to the altar in
wedlock never leaves broken hearts
among the single daughters. The ma
jority of women want worthy hus-
band In their home for the sake of
happiness. When the betrothed girl
gets wedding ring on her finger she
expects that all her monotonous hours
are over. Her world will thence be
one of delight and amusement. Sem
timent will never be destroyed in their
lives. She has settled that all this
love shall be never-ending before her
marriage, and that she is not to be un.
happy. If losses walk in at the door,
love will not fly out of the window
Certainly this is the only delightful
way for newly welded man and wife
to start in on life's journey together
Pity that those who love so truly, be-
fore and after the knot is tied should
stoop to petty quarrelipg over trifies
and relish the making-up part as the
best of wives often do. Last, but by
no means least. they realize, one and
all, that coy little home-a table
spread with wholesome food that's rel
ished, someone to live in it-someone
who loves a helpmate, is indeed a
paradise ON earth.

WHY PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE.

All earth below. all heaven above,
In this calm hour are filled with love;
All sights. all sounds. have throbbing
hearts,
In which its blessed fountain starts.
1t matters not whether the woman
is single or married, her one greatest
happiness Is when she falls in love.
Every woman loves to find one ideal
who will bring her hope, Joy and fu-
ture happiness. It is the one raptur-
Gus study of her life. her looking-for-
ward time, and courage never fails in
this particular object.
As for man-just as soon as he
can possibly see his way clear to wed
and settle down, his quest and noble
ambition is to find the one woman
who is suitable and responsive to his
heart with whom he can fall in love.
Experience has taught most of us
that many meet and are pleasant COM
panions, while the. question is very
nearly ready to be popped and yet
they get no nearer with elusive Cupid.
There's many q slip 'twixt the cup

saw the bear bob up unframed, and,
after shaking himself like dog, swim

We arrived at Fairbanks on the af.
ternoon of June Is. Fairbanks, a thriv-
ing town, is the market place and dis
tributing point for a placer distri t
that turns out from 100000 to $4,-
100000 annually. Then, too, it is the
agricultural center of the Tanana val
ley region, where, despite the general
idea to the contrary, large crops are
grown of potatoes and other root prod
ucts. besides great deal of barley
and oats.
The country along the Tanana river
has weird sort of monotony On the
south side the country is one vast fiat,
mostly tundra, swamp. In this lati-
tude the ground seldom thaws beyond
a few feet in depth; consequently
there is little or no subdrainage. This
is the swamp country through which
our portion Of the preliminary line

A great deal has been written OF the

Bathing Under Difficulty.
The matter of baths was difficult.
Often in the evening we would pad
die out to bar in the middle of the
stream, build smudge of drift, and
take a hurried plunge in the icy Ia
mana waters. We would be nearly eat
en- alive by the persistent little bugs"
before we could get back into our
clothes and to camp. One mans meth
cd of taking bath was ingenious. He
would drag the camp washtub, filled
with hot water, into the office tent,
carefully kill off all the insects inside,
and take his bath with the utmost
luxury.
We were fortunate in not having to
depend upon pack trains for our trans
portation. All our work being near
the river, we were able to do our NOV
ing with boats.
In the actual field work we made
great progress, unless in heavy spruce
timber, where ocr speed depended up
on the axmen. In the swamps-and
there was swamp wherever there was
no spruce-we were forced to wade
for miles in water to our waists or
higher. There were occasions, too,
when a series Of streams and lakes
had to be crossed by swimming and
by RATS. In this swamp work we were
able to practice that beautiful athletic
and modern dance, the '.niggerhead

coarse grass that grow in several feet
Of muck. When traversing q niger

Nine widows out of ten, especially
If they be advanced in years, carry
out the trust faithfully. The tenth
widow is an example of the fool-hardi-
ness of failing to safeguard her as we'll
as her children.
Prospective heiresses are golden
bats for fortune hunters. but the man
who is intent upon marrying money
knows that her wealth may be with
held by her family, If it is SO intrusted,
for long years to come, and he would
have to work for and support woman
whom he was not ardently in love with
for her own sake-during the best
years of his life with expectations Of
wealth which might never materialize
The man who contemplates paying
court to rich widow faces none of
these contingencies of losing
Indulgent number one has not taken
the precaution to put strings to it,
II she is q woman possessing more
heart than head. easily flattered and
OF the kind who respond to ardent
and persistent lovemaking, he figures
1t out that in all probability he would
as her husband, be SO enabled to estab-
lish himself firmly in her affections
that he could give her children Sc
we're tussle to capture even meager
portion of the money in absolute con-
troll of their mother. Everyone ex-
poets that a young widow will be
tempted to wed again, If another man
seemingly as good and true as the
loved and lost one comes a-wooing.
Few people suspect the widow of fifty
or thereabouts to be still susceptible
to the enthralling dreams of loving
again and being loved, yet it is an I'M
deniable fact that this is the crucial
turning point in a widows existence
She is usually too proud to admit
that she Is lonely and longs for COM
partnership, but this is the case Her
sons may leave her, after the manner
of SONS. She Is dear to them, but the
betrothed sweetheart with whom they
spend all of their disengaged hours,
it must be admitted, is dearer still,
though in quite different way.
Her daughter changes in heart in
terest with marriage. At first, the
young bride divides her affections fair
ly equally between her husband and
mother. but with the coming of babies
mother is generally apt to take third
or fourth back seat No wonder such
widows feel keenly the want of COM
partnership and loss of heart interest
in their children which they secretly
bitterly resent.
At this 1uncture. the fortune hunter
considers the occasion is ripe for him
to Undue the widow with the belief
she is dear and first In the heart of
someone. If he succeeds in inducing
her to marry him she finds her trouble
soon after begins. He nags her for
money-more money and yet still more
from morning until night. She has
to buy her peace, IL she gets any, with
heaps Of gold. The only way to cir
cumvent the fortune hunter is for
such widows to tell him candidly that,
ere she weds again. she will sign her
children's money over to them.
