can laugh off their little differences
when one or the other sees that a
little tilt might lead to a downright
quarrel.
There are other couples not SO diplo-

Their will give way ever so little to the

the first time since they have been
near and dear to each other he does
not put in an appearance on the eve
ming he was wont to call. 1t goes
without saying that she expected him.
She was so sure he would come and

She had taken more than the usual
pains with her toilet AS the hour
rolled by without bringing him she
realized what his staying away alto

ICES how easily her disappointment
could have been averted. Pride keeps
her from taking the first step toward
reconciliation. He is quite as miser-
able as she. There are men who I'M
der such circumstances will hold aloof
from some girls, plunging with might
and main into business to try to for
get. There are other men who seek
the companionship of other maidens
after a falling out with their sweet
hearts. In some instances this is
to awake her jealousy. With others
it is to keep their hearts from har-
dening against the feminine sex. A
man can go about, here and there,
meet a dozen companions on the street
who are only too eager to accompany
him, here and there. He can fill in
his time from early morn until mid
night with convivial companions of
his own sex, whether the moon rises
or storm RACES. A girl may not do
this. She has more time to think it
out and nurse her regrets. 1t is not
every day that she meets would-be
lover who is congenial to her.
! If her beau stays away a fortnight,
a month, and yet another, without
| sending her so much as line or at
! tempting to see her, foolish is the
| girl who persists in the belief that the
man is pining away for her. More
than likely he is about to pay court
to some other girl Of whom he is quite
as fond. If man loves he will make
overtures to be reinstated in her favor.
Where there's a will there Is always
a way. Prolonged absence should show
a girl that he is not caring to make
up. No matter how hard it may be
for her, she should do her best to
forget that he ever entered her life.
There is nothing so useless as to
waste valuable time over love that
is dead.

Horse Put to Mean Use.

Early in the life of the human race,
or during the paleolithic or stone age,
at least, the horse appears to have
been quite unknown as a beast of bur-
den, though it is doubtful if the race
at that period of existence travelled
far from home or was possessed Of
any plethora of this worlds goods re-
curing means OF transportation. Prob
ably the stone age man knew nothing
of the joys of a brisk gallop at morn
or in the gathering shades of eve, and
at best his horse was physically small
and mean-looking. On the other hand,
the horse of that period appears to
have been on the list of game" and
was largely used as food.

And so it happens that the large army of peo-
pie who wait for the New Year before effecting
a reformation in their lives are seldom success
full in carrying out their intentions They are
not possessed of the spirit of energy and resolu-
ton necessary to achievement. 1t may be
argued that it is better to make good resolutions,
even though they are not carried out, than not
to make them at all. This is open to question,
however. Unless is absolutely determined
to do what one has decreed, it is perhaps on the
whole better not to make promises to oneself.
Unfulflled resolves continually repeated, tend to
weaken the character, and to reduce ones faith
in oneself, just resolutions put into practice
are conducive to strength and sef-confdence.

New School House.


A special meeting of the citizens
of Malta was held at the school
house Monday night to discuss the
matter Of building a new school
house
1t was decided that the present
condition of affairs rendered it nee
essary and eXpedient that new
school house should be built at once
and instructions We're given to the
clerk 30 ascertain the valuation of
OF the taxable property in the dis
trict and to secure estimates on the
probable cost OF a two story four
room brick building, 4ox5G feet.
It was also decided that in order
to raise money necessary to build
such a structure, the most feasible
plan would be to bond the district
the bonds to run 20 years.
AS soon as the necessary informa-
ton in regard to cost is received by
the clerk, another meeting will be
held and the mater will be thor
oughly discussed, and in all prob
abilities special election will be
held to vote on the proposition of
bonding the district. 1t is very like
ly that at the beginning of the new
school year next September the new
school house will be ready for occu-
rancy, and Malta will have a school
building that will be a credit to ~
town.
