Guaranteed.

In one of the little mountain towns
of the South a chautauqua meeting
was held last summer for the first
time. The fact was advertised for
some distance round the town, but the
older negroes, especially, did not under
stand what it was all about. Across
the front of the little hotel of the vii
lage was flung banner bearing the
one word, "Chautauqua." Up to this
hotel one day drove an old negro in a
one-horse wagon containing a few
vegetables, which he hoped to sell to
the proprietor, as he had done on
former occasions. But when he saw
the banner with it's ominous word he
was seized with fright and would not
go into the building, or even get out
of his wagon. When the proprietor
appeared, the old fellow inquired nerv-
ously, "What disease is you-all quaran-
tined for, boss?"-Youth's Companion.

The Braves not only expect to re-

telling me of all the influences that
are brought to bear upon her life. It
may be that her loved ones whom she
characterizes as overexacting have
good grounds, or suppose that they
have, for keeping her all to them
selves, as she imagines. Her age may
have something to do with the time
they include as being too young for
beaux and of marriage intent. Many
may have come a-wooing, pressed their
suit and received no encouragement
or reason for being unwished-for
lovers.
The older a girl becomes the more
problems of life and sentAment she
has to face. Happy are the DISPOSE
lions that have not got over the trust
ing to their parents, Of their best in
terests, none of which Is greater than
the fate of strictly advising who IS
best suited to be their heartmate and
who is not. Talk the matter over
wisely and gently with your mother or
father. Do not spurn their future de-
Gliding which at last will make for hap
piness for you if you would have SUM-
shine CLINT across your path instead
of ominous shadows.
1t is difficult for girl to discern
his faults or good qualities, his ways
of making good in the world. What is
more important as to the chance of a
daughters happiness than for parents
who are nearest and dearest to look
exactingly and fairly weigh whether
the burden of the coming years will
be taken upon other shoulders beside
their own? 1t is in most instances
very wrong to discourage single peo-
pie from marrying in the blossom Of
their youth.
In answer to your former query, L
must give my advice that the young
man should ask permission to call at
the home. It would not be proper
form for the young girl to make the
advance, especially, knowing parents
have not shown willingness for you
to receive company, whom they did
not know or care for. This dilemma
can be avoided by the wise young
woman who does not jump at the first
sutton who presents himself; who is
not discontinued with home, and ali
that parents can afford to do for her
welfare. True, young suitors have to
vie with many unsuspected influences.
But it is better to find them out, If
possible, at the start to learn if they
are intruding, instead of being well
coined, if they but realized it. Young
girls should not rush into keeping
company hastily, and unmindful of
what their elders desire. She who
waits and looks forward to one who
gains the consent of all interested has
her sweet expectancy fulfilled to her
hearts content, realizing that "all's

WHY BRIDES ARE DISSATISFIED

You may buster and blow, but we know
what is blissl
Here are laughter and love. and hug

No clustering mind can reach heaven,
we guess,
And home may be more--it should never
be less
It's amusing often to hear engaged
couples planning their future. If they
have wealth, where they shall go on
their honeymoon is matter of no
anxiety; gold throws open the gates
to every avenue of pleasure. He says,
Where would you like to go, dear?"
and after the trip to Washington is
settled upon by her, she leaves the
rest to his judgment and the days that
follow the bridal hour are one long,
sweet dream of JOY and gayety.
The young man who has not money
to burn" intends that his bride shall
be Just as happy. 1--WE shall not have
money to spend in travelling about"
he explains, "but we will be quite as
happy putting the money to a wiser
use. After the wedding (and you may
he sure we shall have every one of
our big crowd of friends at it) we
will go straight to our own coy little
fiat, gayly playing at housekeeping

the day is long"
Being a sensible girl, she is well
pleased with the mental picture. She
knows beforehand that she is not to
marry rich man and will have to do
her own homework, but that thought
lis not appalling to her. The girl who
loves the man she weds is happy over

Smuuqlers Caught I'm the Act.

A comic case of attempted SNUG
Cling has just come to light at OOpen-
hagen. Stout travellers are always sus-
pect, and when three well-dressed men
with a distinct tendency towards adj
posity were about to step aboard the
ferryboat for Sweden the keen eyes of
the customs officials subjected them
to a close scrutiny. Their luggage
having been searched without avail, a
personal examination was made. Then
the truth was revealed. Their uncom-
mon stoutness was due not to over
feeding but to the presence Of about
four hundred tyres wound closely
round their bodies. AS it is prohibited
to export rubber the three men, much
reduced in size, were arrested, and
measures are also to be taken against
the firm by whom the material was
supplied.

have done my best to figure out why
some deserving hearts go through life
unloved, minated, and why others who
do not appreciate this, the greatest
with love and romance.
1t has been tacitly conceded in civ
illzed countries that it is mans privi-
iege to choose mate, the woman he
will wed. People stand aghast, frown-
Ing strong disapproval at the maiden
who attempts to usurp his preroga-
tive-show her interest in any par
ticular man or give him reason to sup
pose he could win her heart and hand
for the asking.
The subject seems to resolve itself
down to this reasoning: Few indeed
of those who meet enjoy each others
comradeship, imagining themselves
enthralled deeply, desperately, are
really in love. Cupid binds their
eyes for the time being. From some
wear 1t, for months, even years, but it
falls off in time and they see, past
all denying, that what they believed
to be affection was but a passing
fancy.
If couple meet who are congenial
each feeling a sense of supreme
comfort, peace and happiness such as
they have not experienced in the COM
partnership of those who have already
come and gone on their life paths
their meeting fulfills the destiny in
tended for each. A young woman
does not have to be anything but her
own natural self; be her nature grave
or gay, confiding or distant, undemon-
strative or sympathetic, to attract and
lmpel love from the man who is drawn
to her by the heart interest her per-
sonality awakens and influences. The
reason why so many are unsuccessful
in love is because they persist in en-
deavoring to win affection from those
who are not for them. Failure to at
tract for long is the result.
Mismated hearts in marriage would
be few and far between if there was
less haste in rushing into betrothals
and marriages after short acquaint-
ance While courtship should not be
of much more than years duration,
at longest, it should require that
length of time for each to realize
whether or no the attraction which
drew them together al first was last
ing or weakening. If love shows
signs of waning in either heart, the
engagement should be broken. Honor
which prompts many man to carry
out his pledge, though his love is wan
ing-is a mistaken sense of chivalry.
It is equally as dangerous to
woman's future happiness to accom-
pany a man whom she does not love to
the altar. There are shy women who
wait to be sought by lover. There
are pushing women who pick out the
man whom they would have for lover
and manage to succeed in marrying
him. The irst girl weds and, save in
very rare cases, lives happy life of
ii. The husband of the pusher soon
realizes that he was baited for and
caught. It ends in the divorce court.
Yet these are the women who won
