OUR BACHELORS COLUMN


the most valuable Of our contribu-
tions to local literature, and your
attention is respectfully directed to
its contents. The girls and the
younger women of manageable age
have received some very desirable
tips and the best Of 1t all is that
they can bank on them. Some of
the young men themselves did not
realize what fine fellows they were
until they read 1t in perfectly re-
liable newspaper, and since that they
have been taking a sort of inventory
of themselves. But in this they are
not alone, for others are taking note
of them too.
When we began to write ON this
subject we judged that there were
40 or SO bachelors and others eligible
for marriage in the county, and by
eligibles we mean fellows who would
be better off If married, and who
would also make somebody else hap
Ply. Now that we have given some
thought to the subject we find the
woods are full of eligibles- fellows
whose particular mission In life is
to make some woman happy, but
the woman doesn't know it and they
had not thought about 1t themselves
in the light of truth that is cap
able OF demonstration.
Many q man is about half cross
and doesn't know why. In most
cases 1t is because he isn't trying
hard enough to make somebody hap
py, and that somebody a woman who
looks good to him. By the same
token we might say that good many
young women are about hilf dissatis-
fed and don't know why. Some
think it is due to a mist on the moon,
but it isn't. And you can't clarity
matters by counting the number of
wide tea leaves in cup and then
multiplying it by the complexion of
the first man you see and then count
ing off four, nor by saying, "Eeny,
meeny, miny, mo- It has to be
settled by taking q forward step on
the twenty-ninth of February or at
some other time. But to get back
to bachelors again, here are the
names of some more eligibles:
Girls have always been interested
in the young fellows who make good,
and that is right. There is one fea-
ture about that seems disagreeable
at first thought, they run with the
fellows who spend all their money,
but when it comes to marrying, they
take the steady fellow who has been
saving his means. In this way the
girls get the advantages going and
coming. There is something about
that that is beyond human ken, but
sometimes girls get fooled on the
second lap of that scheme. Some
times the steady fellow puts the
house over the head of some other
kind of girl just because she has
been consistent.
A Suburban Home
Where is the girl who would not
| like suburban home called Nestle
Down." And a husband who will go
single or double and stand hitched or
otherwise. A husband who seems
little gruff but he isn't. A fellow who
is long on mechanics and operates a
linotype as we'll as a suburban home
of ten acres. Well, that fellow is
| Wesley Lantis, the operator at The
Republican office. He sets all the
type for the paper, and if he sees a
comma out Of place in the copy IMAM
uscript) he comes back at the editor
the rule for the location
of commas. Well have duce of
time getting this article past him
he would think the whole thing was
comma out of place. Well get
someone to set it while "Wessie" is
at dinner, then sneak it into print
without his knowing it until it ap-
pears n the paper.
Ellis Graham
Down at Aberdeen is young man
named Ellis Graham. He lived in
Blackfoot for a number of years
and was the bookkeeper for the Boyle
Hardware company. He is one Of
the finest fellows extant, socially, in
business and every way. but the girls
don't know it. He could win in a
courtship, but he is too busy to get
at it. The mail goes down to Aber-
deem Saturday, Monday and Tuesday,
and Tuesday is the twenty-ninth. You
might wire!
Fred Kennedy
AClO dhOthOA hdl uWd ok udA
closer in to the county seat, but he
is partially spoken for. He operates
a typewriter in the wholesale office
of the Boyle Hardware company. He
is fine fellow, never neglected duty
since he was on the job, never en-
tertained a thought that wasn't all
right. His father is the assessor of
Lincoln county and has been for so
long the voters call him bill" At
the polls they say, Same old Bill";
and vote him in again. Now that's
they way it will be with Fred; when
you have known him a week or ten
years you will say he is always the
same old Fred; always busy If he is
busy if he is busy and always de-
livering smiles If he is going some
where.
A Professional Man
Would you like professional
man? One who is always looking
down at the mouth We never go
into DR.. Bernhisel's office when he
isn't looking down at somebody's
mouth. We can't even tackle him
for an advertisement he is so busy.
He has a pleasant look, possesses
