SCHRANK RAVES YET AT T. R.
Man Who Shot Roosevelt Is Taken
 From Asylum to Prison.

Waupon, Wis, April 24.--John Schrank, the man who tried to as sassinate Col. Roosevelt in Milwau- kee. has been sent back to the pris- on from the asylum for the insane at oshkosh. Schrank is not entire ly rational. although he is being treated as a regular convict with nc special regard to his mental condi- ton.
 Schrank's only apparent mental defection at present is his attitude toward Roosevelt. He told Governor Phillips. who was here inspecting the penitentiary today, that he had positive evidence that Roosevelt and Kaiser Wilhelm were in a compact to rule the world.
 It is not likely he will be included in the list recommended for par dons.

OPPORTUNITY OR YOU.

Some people are always waiting for opportunity to take them by the hand It never does, and it never will.
 Opportunity is ever present with us, it is by our side, it dogs our steps. it never leaves us. But it never reaches out it's hand. We must do the reaching, the grasping, the improving.
 Don't sit still and wait for oppor- tunity to come to you. Go out and hunt it, and hunt until you find it. II is flirting with you every day in the year, every hour of the day.
 One of the greatest opportunities lies in that you may accomplish in aid Of your home town. for what is good for the town is even better for you. If you want your town to do something for you. you should first do something for the town. Opportunity believes in that, and greets the one who does it.
 Don't expect to recene everything and give nothing. Opportunity does not approve of that. Will not sane ton il and will not lend it's aid and encouragement. Only fools expect that. and fools seldom step beyond the shadow of their own foolish- ness.
 The wise Esan makes his own op- portunity. and that begets other and greater opportunities, and they breed success.
 Your future it not up to oppor- taaity--it is up 10 you.

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
Dreams ThatDoNot Come True

only life for woman"
The married woman speaks:
Il wonder what makes any woman
fool enough to get married!
Its slavery. That's what it is.
Nothing but slavery, that an idiot of
a young girl gives herself into without
knowing what she's doing. I'll wager
that if marriage licenses had return
coupons attached to them that there
isn't one bride in a hundred that
would not be back in her girlhood
inside of three months.
''They talk about husband protect
ing his wife. Huh! There's one per-
son he doesn't protect you from, and
that's himself. So far as l can see,
the chief thing a man gets married for
is to get somebody that he can vent
all of his ill temper and grouchiness
on.
II know my husband talks to me
in a way that he would never dream
of speaking to any other human be-
ing on earth, and especially as he'd
never speak to anything else that wore
skirts. He's polite and affable and
gracious to men he has to do business
with and chivalrous to women in So
ciety, but one of the unwritten laws
of matrimony is that you don't have
to show any good manners toward a
mere wife.
"Companionship-th what every
girl really marries for. Not one huS-
band in a hundred ever holds q real
conversation with his wife. He goes
to the club of an evening, or else
drowses over the paper and grunts
when he is spoken to. If you'd sub
stitute a store dummy for the aver
age husband his wife would never find
out the difference.
Perhaps there are husbands that
pay their wives compliments, and still
take an interest in holding their hand
after the first year of matrimony.
Marriage is no picnic for woman.
How l envy the old maids who have
their own pocketbooks, and their own
hatch keys, and nobody who has a le-
gal right to tell them of their faults
and criticise their appearance"
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-12-21
As 1t Seems to Be
The old maid speaks:


''Ah, how l envy married women.
What a wonderful thing it must be to
have the love and protection of
husband, to have some strong arm to
stand between you and the world, some
buffer between you and the hardships
of existence.
"How sweet it must be to have a
husband to love and cherish you, to
feel that you are the one woman in
the world to him, and that as the years
go by his affection grows tenderer
and more chivalrous, and to know
that in his eyes, at least, you will
never grow old and homely, but al
ways be the fair young bride he mar
ried.
1T must be wonderful to watch
of an evening for the coming of the
step of the master of the house, and
to think of the long evenings of per-
feet companionship that you will
spend with the man who is literally
your other half, talking over together
all the little happenings of the day,
secure in perfect companionship and
understanding.
mo wonder the organ peals out
The Voice That Breathes Ger Eden
at weddings. Marriage is Paradise
regained for a woman. 80.
''Of course, I'm not so badly off
as things go for old maids. 1 have
an ample income for all my needs,
and plenty of interests to keep me
alert and alive, and hosts of good
friends, and affectionate relatives, but
1 am alone. / have no man to stand
between me and the world. 1 must
fend for myself and look out for my
own interests.
I've got no husband to tell me I'm
still young and beautiful when I'm fat
and forty; no footsteps to listen for of
an evening; no loving lips to praise all
that l do or leave undone.
That's why L envy every married
woman who breaks up a bridge game
or rushes home from tea or the
matinee to see about dinner for her
husband. The married life is the
