Qualities Of Wifeship.

Thus wrote Bobby Burns, whose
experience with women at least en-
titles his opinion to considerations:
"The scale Of good wifeship | d.
vide into ten PARTS. Good nature.
four; good sense, two; wit, one; per-
sonal charm--namcly y. sweet face,
eloquent eyes, fine li@,bs, graceful
carriage, all these one: as for the
other qualities, such as fortune, con-
nection and education more than the
ordinary run, family, blood, etc. d.
vide the two remaining degrees as
vou please"
The poet wrote that recipe for a
good wife some time after he was
married. Id like to SEQ a census of
the students in loadin girl colleges
Of America on this question of what
qualities a vic should po>scss.-

A REASON FOR BADNESS.
The Part Tight Hats Play In Killing
Off a Mans Hair.

In the American Magazine DR..
Arthir II. Reynolds, former health
commissioner Of Chica7o, gives the
following reason for badness:
"Tlhe hats that men wear arc the
cause of their badness above the
hat line. Women also wear hats.
but their hats are fastened to their
hair and do not grip the head as
mems hats do. All other causes of
badness such as infections, sebor-
rhca, etc, affect both sexes alike
and are, in fact, more difficult to
treat locally in women than in men
because of their long hair.
GLOW does the hat affect the
growth of hair in man? BY COM
pressing the arteries, the veins, the
l,ymphatics and to some extent the
nerves that supply and nourish the
hair: 1t is not because the hat is
hard or soft or that it keeps the
head too hot. 1t is because the hat
band congresses the vessels and
starves the roots Of the hair. Caps
may do the same thing. but caps, as
a rule, do not grip the head so tight
ly as hats do.
"Baldness usually begins at the
summit Of the crown toward the
back part, at the distant and weaker
part of the vessels furnishing the
circulation. In such cases the pres
sure has been on the vessels on the
side Of the head. Sometimes the
badness begins above the forehead
and is the high forehead type of
badness. In these cases the pres
sure has been upon the vessels of
the forehead. Sometimes the head
is bald low down in the back where
the pressure has been upon the YES
sells in this region. When the head
is completely 'Hld on top the pres
sure has been On the entire vascular
supply Of the scalp"

The province of Limburg differs
in many ways from the rest of Hol-

people of its capital, Macstricht, to
know that the Dutch down there in
the south take life much more CAV
ly than their c%ompatriots elsewhere,

to Germany, too. affects conditions

Getting the
Best Of 1t
He Lost a Mine, but Won
a Heart
By FREDERICK SFlADER.

Until the coming of Chiswick the
camp had taken it for granted thai
some day Lefty Chester would mar.
r.y Henry Bruce. the two had
grown up together in the east. AND
Bruce had come west With L.-ty's
father in search Of health and for
tune.
Gordon Chester had found some
small wealth, while Bruce had
found the health he sought. 'len
Chester had died, leaving his tile
fortune in the hands of Brut as
executor.
The camp looked to see a .ar-
riagc follow quickly after l., tvs
year Of mourning, but no sucl, an
nouncement was made Their the
arrival of Chiswick on the seem put
Il new complexion on affairs.
Down at the Spread Eagle 9 nee
hall the women called him "cu5e."
Men applied other and less colnpli-
m%entary adjectives, but Lefty look
cd on him with favor.
He was the sort of man who at
tracts imprcssionable women-only
about five feet six in height, but he
was natty and trim of person and
carried himself with a little sag
GER that always impresses the un-
thinking.
He was neatly groomed an in
every way the a%ntithesis Of six foot
Henry Bruce, whose clothes tapped
about his lank form and who vllk-
ed with a slight stoop, as mos tall
men DO.
ChiSwick had come to cam as
the agent for a supply firm. The
camp had grown in the last few
wears. and. though no bonanza ike
had advertised the place to the est
Of the world, there was gol in
plenty in the mountains and every
prospect that the place would con-
tlnUe to grow.
Chiswick had a shack built for
his samples, and once the place was
open he left a clerk in charge and
devoted himself to Lefty. Chiswick
had the odd faculty Of making 9TH
crs work. though he himself lacked
habits of industry. and he preferred
riding into the hills with Lefty to
attending to business at the store.
For six months the courtship con-
tlnucd; then n day Chiswicl
found Bruce waiting for him at the
store. His lean length was sprawlcd
over Chiswick's own chair at the
rear Of the shack, and Chiswick eyed
his caller angrily as the latter slow
ly rose.
"1t was a long wait, and that was
the only comfortable chair" ex-
planned Bruce, guessing the cause of
the others anger.

even looking Tor It." explained one
Of the miners. Gle just naturally
fell up against it, but unless I'm
mistaken It's going to be the max
ing Of this camp. It's a pity that a
man didn't locate it."
The sentiment was generally
echoed, but there is no questionin.
the favors Of fate. In six weeks
development work had shown clear
ly that the mine "a a winner. and
on the heels of the assurance came
the announcement that Chiswick
had sold a third interest for $780,
600.
Then the town looked for the an
nouncement of his engagement to
~ Lefty, but the announcement was
not Forthcoming. Not until Bruce
reminded him of their understand
ing and threatened to publish him
as a liar did Chiswick speak.
1t was a grudging, ~ungracious
proposal that he made, but Lefty
was too happy to question the de-
gree Of his enthusiasm. Yet before
she uttered a trembling eyes" she
hesitatcd.
II wonder what my guardian will
say" she said, with a little shivcr.
"Hc doesn't like you, Jack. Per
haps we can't get married until aft
er | come Of age"
"pruce?" asked Chiswick, with a
laugh. "Why, he put me wise to
this mine, because | explained that
| d not have enough money to
marry on. ! don't suppose that he
knew how good it was, but he knew
it was something good, and that
shows that he is not only willing,
but anxious"
Gle gave YOU the mine-to marry
me-" she &c ped.
"Sure!." r, )lied Chiswick. "Don't
you worry q, out Bruce"
q am not worrying about Mr..
Bruce" said Lefty, with a sudden
revul~ion Of feeling. II don't care
whether he is willing or not. l shall
not marry YOU" With a woman's
intuition she read the truth.
"But | say began Chiswick.
Lefty checked his speech. 81
thought you wanted to marry me-"
she said. 81 did not know that dear
old Harry had to bride you to pro-
pose. Please 60 away" And CHS
wick went, only too glad to escape
the scene his blunder promised to
cause.
Bruce coming in that evening to
make certain that all was right
found the girl he loved still sobbing
on the couch.
"And you were so anxious to get
rid Of me that you bribed Jack CHS
wick with a mine" she cried when
the cause of her tears had been ex-
planned.
81 thought you loved him." ex-
planned Bruce simply, "and without
money you could not have been hap
py-with him."
II can be happy without money
with you," she reminded, and
Bruce took her in his arms, we'll
content to lose the mine and find a
heart of gold.
The Ekalaka eagle. [volume] (Ekalaka, Mont.) 1909-1920, 1916-03-03

'1t must be important since vor
wait in spite of discomforts," re.
torted Chiswick. 81 left word that
I would be back at s."
II had the time" said Bruce
"and l wanted to see you-about
Miss Chester"
"That was to be expected" sheer.
ed Chiswick. give been expecting
it for some time. Because you
haven't the nerve to win her for
yourself | suppose that you want to
use your club as guardian and tell
nc hat l am to keep off your pre-
serves. Rather handy, isn't it,
Hank ?"
1T would be if l wanted to do
such a thing" was the quiet retort,
"but what l came to see you about
was to ask if you are going to pro-
pose.
you've made a lot of talk in the
camp, but you have said nothing
d, finite to Lefty, or at least she has
told me nothing about it if you
have, and I think l have a right to
krow."
You are a mar of the world, or
1 were before you buried yourself
n this place. You must know that
u: It because a mar is nice to a pref
~ girl it does not argue that he
y nts to marry her"
Eve look at things differently
II, se in the mountains" retortcd
3 ace. "You know very we'll that
1 ; entire camp expects you to mar
~ Lefty. and they are wondering
WHY YOU don't say something about
it. AS her guardian l have come
to ask you to come out in the open.
That's our way"
There was a glitter in Bruce's
e,,s that warned Chiswick to be
ccrcful. and the snarl faded from
his face, and his oily voice returned
as he sought to argue that his in
{, ne was too small and too unccr-
L n to permit him to marry. Bruce
Ii ened patiently until the end;
then he looked up slowly.
'Then it's only because YOU can't
to marry that you don't ask
Z typ" demanded Bruce.
Lhiswick nodded. 1t seemed the
insurmountable objection that
lo could advance. He had no in
of marrying Lefty.
She was a pretty chile, and she
lad helped to pass the time, but
llso there was always the hope that
lis work in this wilderness would
:esult in a call to the city, and
here Lefty would be a sad him
trance.
"You needn't worry about that"
lricd Bruce. "You look here! |
suppose you know the branch they
call Cat creek?"
Chiswick nodded, and Bruce con-
"Therc is a gulch leading
iii that creek with a tall pine at
he mouth. At the top of the gulch
S a spruce. Walk along a line
With those two trees until you come
% a place where there is a cleft in
he rocks underfoot. You stake
hat claim, and | guess that you
afford to be married."
Chiswick thanked him profusely,
md by the next night the camp
new that Chiswick had fallen upon
bonanza.

or the other measures to which l refer because at least two years will elapse before another election in which fed eral offices are 10 be filed: but it would greatly relieve the public mind If this important matter were deal. with while the circumstances and the dangers to the public morals of the present method of obtaining and spending campaign funds stand clear under recent observation and the methods of expenditure can be frankly studied in the light of present experi- ence; and q delay would have the Ffurther very serious disadvantage of postponing action until another cleo tion was at hand and some special object connected with 1t might be | thought to be in the mind of those who urged 1t. Action can be taken now with facts for guidance and with out suspicion of partisan purpose.
 shall not argue at length the desir- ability of giving a freer hand in the matter of combined and concerted eff fort to those who shall undertake the essential enterprise of building up our export trade That enterprise presently. win immediately assume, has indeed already assumed. a mag nitude unprecedented in our experi
 ence. We have not the necessary in- str'iments for it's prosecution; it is deemed to be doubtful whether they could be created upon an adequate scale under our present laws We should clear away all legal obstacles and create basis Of undoubted law for il which will give freedom without permitting unregulated license. The
 thing must be done now. because the opportunity is here and may escape us
 if we hesitate or delay.
 The argument for the proposed amendments of the organic law of Porto Rico is brief and conclusive. The present laws governing the Island and regulating the rights and privileges of It's people are not just. We have ere ated expectations of extended privilege which we have not satisfied. There is uneasiness among the people of the island and even a suspicious doubt with regard to our intentions concern ing>fhem which the adoption of the pending measure would happily re- move. We do not doubt what we wish to do in any essential particular. We ought to do 1t at once.
 At the last session of the congress a bill was passed by the senate which provides for the promotion of voca- tional and industrial education which Is of vital importance to the whole country because it concerns a matter, too long neglected and upon which the thorough industrial preparation of the country for the critical years of eco homie development immediately ahead of us in very large measure depends. May not urge it's early and favora ble consideration by the house of repSe- sentatives and it's early enactment into law? 1t contains plans which affect all interests and all parts of the coun- try and 1 am sure that there is no legislation now pending before the congress whose prosecution the coun- try awaits with more thoughtful ap- preval or greater impatience to see a great and admirable thing set in the way of being done.
 There are other matters already ad- vanced to the stage of conference be- tween the two houses of which it is not necessary that l should speak. Some practicable basis of agreement
