 We had not been brokenhearted."
 fThe man who thinks that all there is to a proposal of marriage is gam ing the girls cCGsent is myst1hed to find that it is not. 'As long as we know we are suited and love each other our marrying is nobody's bus mess but our own. We are free. white and twenty-one" he declares, en- deavoring to talk the girl into his be- lief.
 H. But his say so in such matter does hot cIinch the truth to his. argu- ment. He should ut himself in her fathers place. He who Aas reared a girl from infancy to womanhooo, loved, cherished, housed her and had fond dreams of seeing her tmarrleo 10 please him, should not have his bright dream shattered by the stranger who would take his jewel from him with out so much as "by your leave"
 A girl owes her parents not only love, but duty and gratitude, They should be the ones to settle so solemn a question as to whether they ap- prove of her choice in wedlock- Young girls are often blinded by infatua- ton. Older and experienced eyes do not look through rosy-hued glasses The young man who would get the proper line marriage should ob- serve the following hint: When he d in his heart he should set about to become introduced to her. If after score or more of calls he finds that he hast lost his h art to the young woman and believes she reciprocates his affection, he should straightway repair to father and mother and con- fess to them his love for the daugh- ter, asking their permission to pay court to her for the object of win ming her for his wife. Gaining that, there is no impeachment to his popping the question and gaining her consent to wed.
 The father respects such a lover. The young man has gained a staunch friend, packer. The man who de- fes asking papa gains an enemy. Af- ter he marries, he has to forge ahead, fighting his battles as best he can. Father-in-1aw may in time forgive, but as to forgettincAwel1, that is an- other matter. In time, if troubles arise, he may tell her: well. you married to suit yourself Had you asked my opinion, it might have been dinerent1s's s=s s~taz eH N-
 Parents are always 4eady to lend a helping hand to. the si1itor who wins their approval Many a man who thinks that he can run his own love affair without them finds himself sore Iy in need of their assistance when he least expects. If the girl turns out to be tickle. father and mother can put in for the disconsolate lover good word, which is sure to have weight with the girl. If they approve of her discardz ing him. he suffers the loss of losing her.
 A man should not be too set in his ways to ask another man for the hand of his daughter. It has been the proper way fer centuries back. Time will but make this obligation the more expected. It's one thing to face a pretty girl and quite different ordeal to muster courage to win, or to be refused by an indulgent parent. Every father is anxious to lose hfs< daughter if the right man comes to woo her. Young men who prove too chfcken-hearted to ask fpapa are not dependable helpmeets to lean upon life.

Worlds Richest Children.

The two richest children in the
world are little John Jacob Aston
and Vinson Walsh MacLean.
Johnnie Aston, when he comes
of age, will inherit over $40, 000,.
600, the fortune of the late Col.
Astor, whose tragic death at the
time of the Titanic disaster will
be recollected.
The child is guarded day and
night by a bevy of nurses, in
case he is kidnapped or his baby
limbs are injured by accident.
Physicians are always at hand
to alleviate the slightest symp-
toms of illness, and a score of
detectives travel everywhere
with the millionaire baby.
Vinson Walsh MacLean, who
in later life will handle a fortune
of several millions, has from his
birth been kept under the closest
surveillance.
He takes his airin gs in a stell
motorcar always guarded by
three detectives, his nurnes is
fitted with flexible iron shutters
that let down from the inside,
and bell-pushers which carry
alarms to the nearest police sta

The Perfect Laxative
For Elderly People

Age has it's attractions no less than
youth in a more serene and quieter life
But it is this very life of rest without
sufficient exercise that brings with it
those disorders that arise from in
activity. Chief of these are a chronic
persistent constipation.
Most elderly people are troubled in
this way, with accompanying symptoms
of belching, drowsinesS after eating
headaches and general lassitude. Ere
quently there is difficulty of digesting
even light food. Much mental trouble
ensues, as it is hard to find a suk able
remedy. First of all the advice may be
given that elderly people should not use
salts, cathartic pills or powders, waters
or any of the more violent purgativeS.
What they need, women as well as men,
is mild laxative tonic, one that is
pleasant to take and yet acts without
gripping.

cobbled shoes on two continents.
In 1871 Morris left his home
in Wales and migrated to the
United States, expecting to To-

that city the day after the great

souri, and six years later to his
farm at Westerville, where he
lives with Charles Mython, his
constant companion during the
past 81 years.
Up to six years ago Mr.. Nor.
ris made almost daily walks of a
mile and half to Clear creek,
in Custer county, to fish. This

Thomas Morris, who claims to
be the oldest man alive, has
lived through the terms Of every
president of the United States,
a half a dozen or more rulers of
England and most of the big his
toric events OF the past l20
years. He is believed to be the
oldest man in the United States
and in all probability is the old
est man in the world. His near
est known rival is Henry Dor
man, of Liberal, Mo-, who will
be 116 in March.
Morris is a resident of Wester-
vile, Neb., where he followed
his trade as a cobbler until a few
years ago. He is the only man,
it is believed, who has lived in
three centuries. He was three
years old when Washington's
term as president closed. He
was IL when Nelson won his sea
victory off Tragalgar and reached
his majority six months before
Napoleon met his Waterloo. HI
was GA when the first Atlantic

The Soil Transfer Method.

The soil-transfer method is
the surest known way to secure
the incubation of any legume.
The soil should be taken from a
spot where bure clover is growing
successfully or from fields of al
fala, yellow trefoil, or melilotus.
The same germ inoculates all
four of these plants. so that soil
from near the roots of any one
will inoculate the others. Soil
should be taken from the top 8
inches and broadcasted over the
area to be planted at the rate of
$50 to 500 pounds per acre. The
spreading is best done on a
cloudy day, as bright sunshine
is destructive to the bacteria. If
spread in sunshiny weather i'm
mediate narrowing is important.
Care should always be taken to
secure soil free from trouble
some weeds or diseases.
On account of the expense in
volved it is seldom advisable to
get large quantities of soil from
a distance. 1t is better tn SOW
but a small patch the first year,
which, if successful, will supply
abundant soil to use as inocula.
