CORNER OF THE HEART.

Since we parted yester eve
do love thee, Love, believe,
Twelve times dearer, twelve hours longer,
One sun surer-thus much more
Than / loved thee, Love, before.
Where is the lad who does not want
all of the heart, when he asks a lassie
to be his wife? He forgets that there
is no heart that is not tenanted by
many. The young woman must re-
serve a portion of her heart for IA
Their and mother, sisters. brothers,
uncles, aunts and cousins.
He should be thankful to receive a
corner of his sweetheart's heart at the
outset. One by one the love ties snap
asunder. She turns to her husband
transferring the major portion of the
love that has been thrust back upon
her heart. The time comes when she
has no one else to look to but him.
Then he has her whole heart, unless
she has children, each one of whom
has it's niche.
This same holds good with the hus-
band. Girls make their boast that they
will not marry unless they are sure
they have a mans whole heart. They
miss many good man whose par
-ents are leaning upon him for love and
consolation in their old age. The
young woman should be willing to
share her love with them while the
old folks live. The bachelor heart has
stored away in it's depths scores of
loves, old as well as up-to-date loves.
He is doing very well to have even a
small corner untenanted which he
can devote to wife.
Everyone knows that the widower Is
not expected to be able to give any
more than that, no matter how taken
up he will be with another woman who
enters his life. Taken all in all, we
find they promise rashiy who take
upon themselves the vow to give their
whole undivided heart to another.

After marriage, IT'S often these differ.
emit influences that wedge themselves
in and turn the tide of happiness. A
loved aunt who interferes too much
in the affairs Of the young married
couple can bring about considerable
havoc. She whispers to the wife that
she saw him flirting with a pretty girl
on the street. Jealousy takes root,
Then the trouble begins to brew.
Hubby cannot uproot love for dear
aunty in his wife's heart. He has
taken her for better or worse, with
all these loves, and he must bide by
the consequences.
Most married couples do very well
to sail along smoothly in sea SO full
of shoals of other loves. He should
do his best to make the corner OF
her heart which he has captured so
happy dwelling place that he will
rapidly acquire all the rest of the
space within her heart. More couples
marry than are really mated. The
trouble of the mismated often rises
from not realizing that to start in
with they occupy only part of each
others heart. This should give many
loving couple something to think
about.

Great Poets and Others.

AS the centuries roll on it becomes
more difficult for poet to reach the
first rank of greatness and more diff
cult for the world to estimate his
greatness.
Whatever is new" said Rossini
cannot be beautiful, and whatever is
beautiful cannot be new" Although
this is truer of music than of poetry,
it comes home to us none the less
when we compare the six pre-Victorian
poets with six of their Victorian sue
cessors; that is to say, Byron, Shelley,
Wordsworth, Keats, Scott and Burns,
with Tennyson, Browning, Swinburne,
Matthew Arnold, w. Morris and Ros-
setti. AS for those other six, we know
they are great poets. and we know
their individual greatness, but what
of the six who come after?

SWEPT BY BAND|TS|
Rural Districts in South Mexico
Are Ravaged.
Robberies and Murders Of Daily Oc-
currence, Some Of Them Just Out
side Vera Cruz City-Sus-
" poets Executed on Spot.

Vera Cruz, Mexico.-It is dangerous
for unprotected travellers to venture
into the region that lies between Vera
Cruz and the City Of Mexico. Bandits
are in complete possession of the rural
districts. Reports of robberies and
murders by brigands are received here
daily. Some of these crimes are COM
mitted almost within the precincts OF
the city. Railroad travel is so haz-
ardous that few people care to under
take the journey between here and the
capital Almost every passenger train
is held up and it's passengers robbed.
The old-time method Of freighting by
OK team was recently put into prac-
tice on the route between Jalapa and
Vera Cruz on account of the uncer-
tainty of transportation on the rail-
road. All of these freighting wagons
are accompanied by guards of sol
diers
Never, even in the period immedi-
ately following Diaz's ascending to
the presidency, has there been wit
messed such widespread brigandage as
is now going on all over southern
Mexico. The bandits are numbered by
the thousands. They operate boldly,
without any attempt being made to
modest them except in the larger
towns. The villages and rural COM
munities are at their complete mercy.
Very few of the wagon trains that
leave Vera Cruz for interior towns
arrive with their loads; almost in
variably they are held up and looted
of the merchandise.
In the mountains around the beau
tiful city of Jalapa, capital of the
state of Vera Cruz, brigandage is so
rife that many of the coffee planters
and other rural residents have been
forced to seek refuge in the town.
In the state of Oaxaca, where an in
dependent government has been in
existence for two years, an effort is
being made to put an end to brigand-
age by executing on the spot all per-
sons who cannot give good account
of themselves. The more remote min
ing districts of Oaxaca are said to be

Money of Various Kinds.

We need money as something Of
standard value to facilitate the ex-
change of commodities in the trading
that is inseparable with human life.
Trading in one form or another goes
on constantly in the course of main
tanning our existence. We are con-
tinually exchanging what we have for
what we need or want, and money is a
standard by which relative values are
established. Skins of animals were
long used by savage tribes as money.
A mans fortune was reckoned by the
number of skins he owned. When
animals became domesticated, the
whole animal replaced the skin as the
unit of value. Among domestic ami.
mails oxen and sheep were the earli.
est forms of money. An OK was con-
sidered worth ten sheep. Cattle are
still recognized as the wealth unit
among Zulus and Kaffirs.

Paris People Would Have avenue de

Paris.-Paris has long since re-

ers of equally offending nomenclature.
Why, then, asks the Figaro, is the
name of the Avenue de Sofia allowed
to remain?
,.True, it is only so meters long, but
its two name plates are constant re-

we have contempt. We have received

FORCED FROM PETS
AGED Woman Gives Up Twenty
Years Struggle.
Since Passing Scriptural Age Limit
Her Life Has Borne Out Bib
IicaI Promise of Labor
and Sorrow.

St. Paul.-After a twenty years
struggle to remain Independent, Mrs.
Della Maxwell, lightweight years old,
was taken to the City hospital to live
out the remainder of her life. Officials
of the Wilder charities found her Ill
in a desolate basement at State and
Eaton streets and took her away In
an ambulance.
Three Angora cats, which, with their
progenitors, have been Mrs. Maxweils
lifelong companions, were left with
neighbors, and she was told that she
might have them near her in her new
home.
For four years charity workers have
tried to get Mrs. Maxwell to go TO
some institution where she might live
comfortably, but she persistently re-
fused to listen to such proposals Tor
fear she would be separated from her
pets.
At intervals she would be lost sight
of, to be discovered later in some Sc
cluded basement or tenement, hiding
herself and her feline companions
With each rediscovery of the aged
woman a new effort would be made
to induce her to enter charitable
home. When she refused, fuel and
food would be brought. But, once dis
covered, her place of abode was soon
changed.
Since passing the three-score-and-ten
scriptural age limit, Mrs. Maxwelis
life had borne out the biblical promise
of being filled with labor and sorrow.
About twenty years ago her husband,
who was a bookkeeper in one of the
city offices, died. Their life was COM
Portable, but the husbands salary had
given little opportunity to save and he
left but a small estate.
Mrs. Maxwell invested her little in
heritance in a horse and tiny farm In
ono of the suburbs. She planned to
live by marketing and keeping blooded
cats and chickens. But shortly after
this one of her legs was broken. 1t
was badly set and left her permanent
cripple. She stayed on the farm fiji
teen years, gradually getting into debt.
Then her horse died. She had become
so feeble she had to give up her farm.
She sold it for little more than enough
to pay her debts and came to town,
planning to earn as much as possible
with her chickens and cats. The Low
ing Kindness branch of the Sunshine
society discovered her soon after she
returned to town. She was in need
The branch provided for her since that
time, when she could be found. The
Wilder and Associated charities helped
The board of control saw that she was
supplied with coal.
On Christmas day charity workers
found Mrs. Maxwell one of the hap
piest of their charges. With plenty OF
coal and frequent baskets of provisions
and with her pets she was more cheer
full than many who had all that money
could buy, she told them. A day or
two ago, however, the aged woman
became so i'll she had to take to her
bed. Then it was decided that her
wishes at last must be overruled and
the ambulance took her away from her
pets to the hospital.

MAY BAR "PRoxY" BRIDES
New immigration Bill Would Abolish
Japanese Marriages on epic
ture" Plan. H.

Washington.-Th proxy" or "pic-
ture" bride system, by which Jap
anese in this country select wife
from pictures, have a friend at home
marry her by proxy, and then bring
her into the United States, is going to
be abolished if the new immigration
bill becomes a law.
Between 1000 and 5000 Japanese
women were brought into the United
States and Hawaii last year by this
method, Chairman Burnett Of the i'm
migration committee said. "Too often
these proxy brides become slaves and
their husbands proceed to obtain 9TH
