WHAT IS WOMANS FOOLISH AGE?

of wisdom from our kind. Life is too

have been embalmed in proverb. We
cannot escape them ourselves and we
can only subtract little from them
in others. That is granted 10 be tho
foolish period of life. None dispute
it and all excuse il.
Yet the newspapers spread daily
proof before US that for some woman
the age OF folly would seem 10 have
moved on. II does not even halt az

there may be eXtentuatiOn and excuse
for fOllies caused by life at overflow

the mount Of life into the sunset, what
is the mitigating circumstance them
That the glow OF the sunset is in our
eyes2 That we fear the shadows that
lies beyond and seek once more 10

Perhaps, but is that enough? Enough

This is the only fairy story ever
written by him, and il was done so
under strange conditions. The wom-
AN he later married tainted him be-
cause he could not write a fairy
story. In order to make good he
showed that he could write one. and
in consequence wrote The King of
the Golden River"
This story shows the penalty of
avarice. greed. and selfshness and the
reward of kindness and charity to
ones neighbor.
These two points are greatly en-
phasiZed i'm this story particularly
All our sympathies are with little
Gluck. and even when his two greedy
brothers were turned into two black
stones for their sel6shness little
Gluck mourned over their loss as if
they had been the best of brothers to
MIN which they were not.
The story concludes with the scene
that little Gluck who was now grown
10 be a man enjoyed the reward Of
prosperity which he had gained
through his kindness to his fellow
men.

BY Ada Patterson.

A woman with the crown of snowy
hair that is generally accepted as the
symbol of wisdom and restraint has
been making a spectacle for pity and
deTiSiOn in the New York courts. She
was too i'll to be present, so her phys
ician said, and those who listened to
the evidence we're glad OF her indis-
position. since it spared her and her
family the need of listening TO the
letters that had passed between her
and the man who had f1eeced her of
her fortune and had shorn her OF
the esteem Of the community.
Her husband had worked hard all
his life and when he turned his face
TO the wall because he wanted TO shut
out sight of the mourning faces about
him. he died less sadly because he
had provided more than half mil
lion dollars for the comfort and we'll
being OF his family after he had gone.
That is one Of the comforts of passing
from this known state to the un-
known. that we have worked hard
and have provided a competence for
the companions, or for the work that
survives us.
Now the widow discloses to the pub
ic that she has been pauperized by
a man who wrote her letters in which
love" was mingled with finance.
Nearly every letter asked for collat-
eral and told Of his own desperate
straits, though each ended with Your
Devoted" Generally the name was
missing, a circumstance which would
have aroused the supiciOns OF most
persons. Of either sex. ii would seem.
And yet in that chamber Of our
| hearts that echoes 10 honesty We
women must admit that a good many
of our acquaintance might have been
as easily gulled as was this widow Of
six-tenths millionaire. made such by
his toll in the sewing machine bus

1t raises the question of what is the

Miss Winkler was i'll for a week but

1t was a great disappointment to

although it was not cold, so there

cause we thought there was going to

Since the mild weather has set in

FIRST PRIZE.

My favOrite story is one Of Christ's
parallels. The parable L am referring
10 IS the one Christ told 10 his chosen
family. the Jews, the Tuesday before
His death.
1t was the parable OF the man and
his vineyard. The man that owned
the vineyard went away and left it in
charge of some of his favorite men.
NOt long after ne was gone he sent
one Of his servants 90 see how his
men and vineyard were getting along
When the servant reached the vine
ward the men that were tending il
killed the servant.
The owner Of the vineyard was very
much surprised at this. He sent an
other servant TO see what all this
meant and they killed this servant
too
The owner was very much aston
ished and sent his only son. The men
killed him, too.
BY this parable, Christ meant that
God sent prophets to his chosen peO-
pic and they killed them. and now He
sent His only Son and they killed him

other one because il was such "A beau

TIME APPROACHES FOR
FILING EXEMPTIONS
Two Months, Beginning March 4. Al
lowed for Making Affidavit For
Release From Taxes.

Beginning Monday morning. Mar. l,
and closing on April 80, there will be
the time in which mortgage exemp-
lions may be filed with the county
auditor. Many persons fail 10 proht
by the mortgage exemption allowed
by law because they fail 10 file at the
proper time. The general idea is that
the exemptions should be fled before
March first but this is an error.
Affidavits Of mortgages may ne
made out before anyone but they
must be recorded with the county
recorder and hled with the auditor.
The exemption amounts 10 500 or
where the assessed valuation IS less
than $1,40O the exemption allowed is
half OF that valuation.
If a bill. which has been passed by
the legislature, is approved by the
governor. the mortgage exemptions
will be increased from 500 10 $1,000.
