In many quarters both Mr.. Munsey and

Thus. curiously. and IN divers ways. the
names Of these three men have been linked

that "Englishmen are disturbed by Lord
Northchfe's absence" suggests that
America ought TO send over some one to
take his place:
I'VE have nothing quite like Lord North

inferior substitute. He must be an owner
Of many newspapers. he must never be wrong
about anything, his control Of the English
language must be more or less insecure. Such
specifications point 70 a composite figure, a

Are the "Bonnie"
Scotch Dying Out?
4 n ALARMING story of fam

Manson, writing from Glasgow. He 60.
The Registrar General has provided ,,..
tics which have suggested to some pe.,;r,'.'
writer's the idea that the people Of sco,,.
are dying out, and that one result. OF ~.
will be a marked decrease in the popu,,.
The birth rate in 1915 was the lowest a, :.
ord and the marriage rate the hishe,, e.
1866. while the death rate was excep,;o,.n
high. next to that of the years 1875, lss, 49,
and 1900.
1t is not possible to explain the,. o..
fully. as the circumstances arc wholly ,,,..
tional. The high marriage rate is prob,
explained by the fact that many young =.
married before entering military seryie. !.
that their wives might be able 10 draw H..
full army pay. But there is no such e1u,,,
ton Of the low birth rate or the high ~,
rate. The former is perhaps attribu,sy. }.
the fact that for some years back many AZ Il.
young men of the country have been enir,,,
ing TO British overseas dominions, and q,
latter to the other fact that there are no. 4,
Scotland more old people and people phy,,,l
" unfit than usual. The young and s,,,,,
have been sifted out for military service. 81,
il is only natural, therefore, that the p.r.,,
age of mortality among those left should !.

I speed the parting young man and
welcome the new one. No loss of love
for me-"
This voices the sentiments of nine
Independent young women out of ten
of the present day. Their hearts are
quite as soft and gentle as those of
days gone by. They have been taught
how to shield and protect themselves
from the men who would make love,
but have no intentions of marrying.
Women who are love-lost, wandering
far afield, should pull themselves to-
gether and look the situation fairly in
the face. They should realize that 1t
is not only madness but silly to waste
one lingering thought on man who
they know has actually forgotten them.
Such women. should fill their hearts
with healthy thoughts and their hands
with work which will arouse new am
bition. No woman has gone such a
distance on the lost path of love but
she can find her way back If she makes
up her mind determinedly to do so.
For such women there is more truth
than poetry in the old couplet:
II one lovers tickle and from you should
Hustle and find another string to your
bow.

Missive Travelled Far Over United
States Before 1t Finally Reached
Proper Destination.

A certain publishing house in Lon
don, England, has discovered that there
is more than one Madison in the Unit
ed States of America. The discovery
cost a University of Wisconsin pro-
fessor large amount of anxiety, for
it involved a valuable manuscript on
which he had spent months of labor.
The manuscript is a translation Of
Lucretius' works prepared by Prof.
William Ellery Leonard of the English
department and visiting professor this
year of New York university, sent to
London for publication in the Every
man Library. When the manuscript
was sent back to him with the first
proof sheets, 1t was addressed "Madi-
son, U. S. A." How many of the 9TH
er Madisons it visited is not recorded,
but after weeks of search the postal
authorities found it and returned it to
the anxious author. D.

Learn Fror, the War.

Sufferers throughout the world are
gaining relief from therapeutic expert
ences gained by the doctors in the hos
pitfalls Of the war zone, who are con-
tinually devising new means to reduce
the pain of the wounded soldiers. At
a large hospital 1t was found that the
quantity Of opiate given some of the
men who were suffering from severe
wounds seriously retarded their recov-
cry. As an experiment several were
suspended In tubs through which wa
ter OF a temperature of 100 degrees
Fahrenheit was kept running. One
man who had been In such pain from
a lacerated thigh that 1t was feared
he would go insane was laid upon q
rubber mattress In bath. His pain
entirely subsidized and more rapid pro-
gress in healing was made than In
any similar wound upon record.

HER UNWILLING ESCORT,

Because q young man asks permits.
sion to escort young lady home from
this or that place number Of times
she should not take 1t for granted that
it is his determination to continue pay
ing attention to her. If the truth must
be told, many a man is placed in the
position of being obliged to offer him
self as an escort whether he will or no.
II young girl goes to pass an eve
ming with an elderly woman who has
q single brother, 1t seems to be tacitly
understood that he will not permit
her to go home alone. His sister has
arranged for that. They may have
had quite a little talk about 1t, the
brother having promised number Of
chums that he will be sure to meet
them at the club that evening. He
wonders why the girl could not have
paid the visit some other time. It Is
with poor grace. he resigns himself
to aid in entertaining girl he doesn't
care a snap of his fingers for. His
sisters choice is usually the kind Of
girl who does not appeal to man in
the least. 1t is tiresome to listen to
a giggllng maiden or one given to talk
ing of herself when he appreciates
the sensible young women who dolnot
consider themselves great ST ANS"
The oftener girl visits at his house
and he is expected to see her home,
the more 1t nettles him. Men have been
known to resort to all sorts Of ruses
to get out of performing against their
win this act of gallantry without Of
tending. One bachelor who was
obliged to see certain girl home
not only from his sisters, but from
church and other places, settled the
matter to his liking by bringing along
with him younger, handsomer man, a
professed lady-killer, who found no
difficulty in cutting him out. 1t was
not his affair how long the other fellow
continued to see her home from diff
ferent places. He was only thankful
that she ceased visiting his sister when
she found attractions elsewhere.
Friends think it very clever to bring
a single man and nice young woman
together. When he is bluntly asked to
take her round a bit, he cannot refuse
without hard feelings on the part Of
his friend. On the other hand, a man
is apt to be most conceited in this re-
spect, thinking o girl Is anxious for
him to beau her home, when In reality
IN T.
hitting him to escort her home, she
makes a virtue out of necessity. He
may not be the kind Of man that APP
peals to her at all. Many girl
would rather return to her home with
out such an escort were she not afraid
Of the lateness of the hour and long
dark road she must traverse. She
gives him no encouragement, SO 1t is
even on both sides.
