bats, so it is reported, tried in vain to
gain entrance to this business house

locate a bargain place there should
be no excuse for a common person

Bill Riley has had his BARRIERS post

Short Speeches In 1860.

On the third day of the 1860 con-
ventiOn when other business had been
disposed of and nominations were in
order, Mr.. Evarts Of New York, in few
er than 80 words presented William II.
Seward for the nomination, the Phila-
delphia Telegraph observes. Mr.. Judd
of Illinois was equally brief in present
ing Abraham Lincoln. The names Of
William l.. Dayton of New Jersey; Of
Simon Cameron Of Pennsylvania; Of
Salmon =. Chase Of Ohio; of Edward
Bates of Missouri, and of John Nc
Lean Of Ohio were presented, but few
er than two dozen words were used In
any instance.
It is not by elaborate and eloquent
nominating speeches that the choice
OF presidential candidates Is deter
mined. The reasons influencing dele
gates are of different character. But,
II speeches much be made, n reason
able brevity will make them all the
more effective. Two Of the best re-
membered nominating speeches ever
made In a national convention were
by Robert G. Ingersoll for Blaine In
1876 and by Daniel Dougherty NOM
mating Hancock in 1SS0-one Re-
publican, the other Democrat-and
neither speech occupied more than
ten minutes In delivery.

The majority of us have to work in
offices and buildings artficially heated
during the cold season. Our places
in which we spend so many hours
during the winters and early spring
days are far from having perfect
ventilation. This therefore is the rea-
son for us all to take advantage of
mild weather conditions to get all the
fresh air possible to build our physical
bodies up so rs to resist the unfavor-
able cOnditiOrs we must submit to
during the cold months of the year.
This should apply to all ages, es-
pecially incluchg babyhOOd and on up
to old age. Il means outdoor living
rs much as rossible both day and
night. When compelled to be in build
ings keep the windows up; otherwise
you have dead pockets of air in your
rooms at your homes and place of oc-
cupation.
Clean. well aired, homes built so as
to admit of ple1ty of fresh air all the
year around aid outdoor living as
much as possible during the summer,
will do much to bring health to the
home and just In proportion to your
health your life will be worth living.

against hope that love must come in

against hope that love must come in
time.
While the man upon whom she has
placed her hopes is still single, king
among men could not win her. She
discredit-with the man her heart
yearns for. If the other was witty
even to frivolity, the earnest, solemn
young man will prove irksome to her.
If the first one was fop, delightlng
in arousing her jealousy by staring
with apparent admiration at other
girls and actually flirting before her
face and eyes, she will not appreciate
the honorable man who would not con-
descend to torture and shame her in
like manner.
The average woman loves devotedly.
To her, her hero is n god. His toler-
ant glance is worth any other mans
most considerate devotion. Unless n
man can be the first tenant of maid
ems heart, he must take his chances of
after happiness should his persuasion
influence her to wed him.
Even after marriage to good, true
nuSDanu, there are women foolish
enough to sigh over a scapegrace they
have fortunately missed, wondering If
the happiness they are tasting is real
happiness or if they would have been
more contented had they wed the man
they loved first. A husband finds it
mighty hard to please that kind of II
wife.
She would never believe she had es-
capped a hard life of it by not getting
the man she liked best. If the old
flame fiickers ever so slightly in her
breast the husband finds out at last
that he is welded to n woman who
should have remained single. Both
men and women should be absolutely
sure old loves are weeded out of their
hearts ere they contract new alliances.

coURTING YOUR DAUGHTER.

Love! What a volume in a word, an
ocean in a tear,
A seventh heaven in q glance, whirl.
wind in a sigh.
The lightning in a touch-a millennium
In a moment!
What concentrated Joy, or VICE. in blest
or blighted love!
The happiest time in the lives of
parents seems to be when their chill
dren are young enough to chase but
terflies, play marbles, roll hoops or
fondle dolls. Their trials commence
when daughter grows tall enough to
lengthen her dresses to her shoetops
and begins to attract the attention of
boys.
With the first call Of a young man,
the parents face the situation that
their child will follow the fate of all
wOmankind-fal in love, be wooed and
marry. When a young man falls into
the habit Of calling regularly, they
realize that is forerunner of an
avowal of love and being asked for
daughters hand, the youth having al
ready pre-empted her heart.
1t is but, natural that they should
experience anxiety. The happiness
of their darling's future, as well as
their own peace Of mind, is at stake.
All men during the courtship period
put their best foot forward. If they
have any bad habits, do they make
frank avowal concerning them? Not
bit Of 1t. On the contrary, nine men
out of ten hide them so carefully and
so deeply that they are seldom un-
earthed.
In small towns and villages, fathers
have the advantage. They have seen
the suitor who comes accounting grow
from boy to man. They know his rep
utation, good, fair or bad. and can
make pretty good guess rs to what
his future will be. They know whether
he is sober and Industrious, keeps
good hours and whether his associates
of both sexes are credit or disgrace
to him.
The father of the city girl has many
more difficulties to face. A young
man has so many paths spread out be-
fore him that no one can tell how
far he travels on the one or the other.
The girl and her parents are almost
entirely at his mercy regarding his
character. He may have friendships
that no one save himself will ever
know about. He may live one kind
of life in one part of the town and
quite another in the other end Of the
city.
1t Is no wonder the fathers of daugh-
t.t
mering even the best of young men
ere agreeing to betrothal. They
know that n good son-in-law is the
greatest blessing family can gather
unto itself; that rascal is the worst
calamity 1t could be forced to en-
dure.

!: POULTY POINTERS
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssss :

Dispose of all the old stock you do
not need. This had best be done now,
while prices are good and before the
annual mOlt starts.
The feeding of milk to young chicks
has most favorable influence on the
growth and on lessening the mortality.
1t tends to prevent mortality from all
causes, and II fed soon enough and for
sufficiently long period greatly re-
duces the death rate caused by bacil-
larry white diarrhea.
An Open-front poultry house Is bet
ter than too much glass, even in our
cold northern climate.
The hot weather Is already giving
the plumage rusty appearance, and
it will grow worse from now on until
mOlting time.
Keep the chicks free from lice keep
them growing, for every little atten-
ton tells and brings nearer the COW
eted blue ribbon.
A splendid mlxtre for laying hens
Is equal parts of cracked corn, wheat
and oats, which should be scattered in
the litter.
Be sure to give plenty of water and
see that the chickens, both large and
small, have plenty of green food. II
your yards do not have plenty Of
grass, try dividing the runs and SOW
ing part to rye or rape.

Some New Ways of Getting
Best of That Tricky Memory

The old method of tying string
about the finger to recall to mind some
task to be done at certain time has
been done away with. The new way
Is to transfer a ring from one finger
to another. On the accustomed fin
ger the ring feels natural and does
not cause annoyance, but on any 9th
er finger it slightly irritates. This ir-
ritation constantly will aid in recalling
the task to be done. Just try it once.
Another and more novel way is to
carry a cOlored ribbon in the coat
pocket. Suppose, now, you are in
your Office. Your wife phones you
to be sure and bring home n certain
thing. Go to your coat hanging on
the Office rack, take out the ribbon,
and tie it tightly around sleeve.
At night when you start to go home
your fist will jam itself against the
tied sleeve. "Oh, yes" you will say to
yourself, there's that cough sirup Mol
ly told me to be sure and bring home
tonight" and off YOU will go at once
to make the purchase.

NOT THE ONE SHE LIKED.

Must life flow on with laughter and song
While the dumb lips trembling say,
''He was only n friend OF the winter.
Only a friend-that was all?"
No matter how worthy young man
may be, II he is unfortunate enough
to fall in love with girl who Is in
love with another, his suit Is all in
vain. There Is not n time that he
calls upon her, takes her out for an
evenings enjoyment, pays her ten
der compliment, that her heart will
not cry out silently, "If he were only
the one care for, how happy would
be-"
Nothing he can say, or do, can ever
lift him up to the pedestal "the other
man" occupies in her estimation. Girls
idealize many n man who is unworthy
and the really good men nre made to
suffer thereby. The man who does not
care for n girl will not make an effort
to please her II 1t conflicts with his
own plans. He is careless of her COM
fort, yet, for all that, some girls will
cling to such men, hoping almost
