MAN WHO AVOIDS WOMEN.

Known mischiefs have their cure:
But doubts have none
And better il despair than faithless hope
Mixed with a killing fear.
Because q man apparently has no
inclination for the society Of women,
1t is q libel upon him to intimate that
he is woman hater. He may be a
very noble character, who reasons it
out that it is unkind for man to put
himself in the way of impulsive wom-
en-, who might be attracted to him
when he cannot reciprocate their Tx.
ing.
He is one of the kind Of men who
do not believe in platonic friendship.
His creed IL that a man either has
affection for woman or else he is
entirely Indifferent toward her. He
has stricter notions than other men
probably have. He does not believe
in. having the romance of heart dead
ened by thousand frivolous fiirta.

tered, worn-out, patched-up heart. He
has keener insight perhaps into wom-
ans heart than most men have. II q
young woman were to fall in love with
him he would feel himself n most
awkward position. He would not be
the man to wreck q noble woman's
life, believing that the personal run OF
women love once and for all time.
There Is another class Of men who
avoid women from selfish motives. II
they are men Of wealth they do not
intend to be tied down to any one
woman, but to enjoy the life of free
lances. They are mems men, Jolly fell

BACHELORS ADOPTING BABIES.

IT'S often seen adoption strives with ma

Shakespeare.
has sprung up like mushroom in the
night, because of his declaration that
every bachelor, be he wealthy or even
Of moderate means, should adopt war
baby. Its proper maintenance and edu-
cation should be carefully attended to.
Every whit as much attention should
be given to the wait as though it were
kith and kin.
The sentiment was noble one. But
the bachelor who rushes to carry out
his theory should think twice over the
laudable undertaking. Great errors
seldom originate but with men of
great minds. AS has been said: In
all science error precedes knowledge"
To care for a weak infant. thrown up
on the world il one of the greatest
charities which the mind Ncan con-
ceive. There are two sides of the
question to consider ere man signs
his name to the written Instrument
which gives a stranger the right to a
place in his home and air that he
may have toiled hard to accumulate.
A man may be care-free bachelor
today, at the time he adopts q war
baby but the question is will he al
ways remain a bachelr-P lsstiny
plays strange pranks with human be-
ings. No single man knows the day
or the hour when he shall meet the
one woman of all the world who is to
make his life complete by marriage.
Is. it quite fair to her that there
should already be an adopted heir in
his home? To most wives children
are given. There are some to whom
the blessing is denied.
II perchance the war-baby was en-
throned in such home complications
might arise. Love which fits little
heart hungered for might be denied
it. All of which goes to show that
the bachelor. in thinking twice, might
with good judgment contract to pro-
vide for war waif from his store of
plenty, provide certain amount for
It's maintenance and education, until
such time as it was able to face the
world, armed With knowledge suffi-
cient to help itself. There his obliga-
ton could with all propriety cease.
The aged man could not be expected
to toll on denying himself and the
wife of his bosom necessary comforts
to launch a much younger man and
stranger in business, or surround him
with fortune without tie of blood
which would entitle him to it.
He who ponders well over both
sides of the situation is wise.
Another set of bachelors have hit
upon different plan--that Of found
ing school for the war-babies, in
which they will be well housed. pro-
vided for and educated until Of age.
While his interest is still with the
child his liability ceases. This renders
1t so that no child can lay claim to
any Of these noble, charitable bache-
lors. No wife could find fault with
such an arrangement. The husbands
interest is divided. among many, IN
stead of conferred upon one.

A Test Of Youth.

You often see woman at the mar
ke6 pinching the end of chickens
breastbone to find out how tender-in
other words, how young-the fowl is.
Oddly enough, the same test with
human beings is one of the most re-
liable known. If in advanced life the
lower end of your breastbone feels
elastic when pushed inward, you may
assume that no important changes
have yet taken place in your arteries,
or otherwise in your anatomical make
up.
The human breastbone is shaped
like an ancient Roman sword, and the
upper part of it is like the sword
handle. Its point is a piece of car
tilage, which anatomists call the
"xiphoid" cartilage. The early harden
ing and stiffening of it indicates that
the changes that accompany old age
have prematurely begun.-Rupert

A Surprise Birthday Dinner.

Since time immemoral made it pos
sible for man to live, the human race
has always cherished DESTROYS hope
for long life, but so many are cut
down in their youth and even in mid
die age by tho Grim Reaper. So few
ever reach and enjoy the age of 80
years and remain strong and erect. But
the SUBJECT of this sketch, Mr.. w. f.
Neat, was 80 years old March 5th and
was joyously surprised. Sunday morn
ing at about 10 O'Clock the Deighbors
and friends began to gather at his
home with well-filled baskets and
boxes of the finest provision possible
and was served in the old fashioned
way.
Uncle Frank is one of the most
prominent men in Central Kentucky,
having served the people with high
esteem for over go years, principally in
both branches of the Kentucky Legis-
lature and county court clerk for a
number of years and also worked in
the revenue service with confidence,
taught school, sold goods and various
other things, and always has warm
heart and broad smile on his face,

the thought that he may enjoy many
more birthdays

children of those who took part in
that great struggle, they brought
with them the spirit of independ-

and the sufferings, trials and priva-

and they made of it happy dwelling

to fields of corn, wheat and verdant
meadow lands.
These old men, many of them, were
but little educated in books: they
would have been out ofplace in what
is called a polished circle of Society,
yet they were educated and trained
for the work which they had to do.
