WoMAN'S BIRTHDAY.

No matter If you are the best OF
friends of a young woman-even
suitor-it Is ofttimes very risky mat
ter to hint to her anything regarding
her birthday. A man may have the
best of intentions. his mind may be
bent upon making her a gift. She
may misconstrue the meaning of his
hint, imagining that he is prying in
to a woman's secret as to how far she
has got ons in years. A very young
girl is proud to declare herself sixteen,
eighteen or twenty, as the case may be.
But when half a dozen years are add
ed to that, she is not so glib of tongue
in speaking of birthdays. She would
be more pleased at any other sort OF
present rather than birthday gift.
Three-fourths of the men never
dream Of such condition of affairs,
especially If they are sisterless. Not
one man in a thousand would dream
of concealing his age. If man has
been calling upon certain young
lady for some time and he has sent
her tokens of his good will ut the
different holidays, he naturally thinks,
ssThere's another kind of gift for me to
send her-a pretty little birthday to-
ken. She certainly has a birthday
sometime in the year." He has heard
that a box Of bonbons, books or flow
ers are appropriate for such an occa.
sion. Sweets do not appeal to him and
he hasn't time to rummage the book
store counters for an appropriate vol
ume. He hits upon flowers as just
the thing. Manlike, he bluntly asks
the question, what is the day it falls
onsand how old she is. She admits II
some confusion to twenty-seyen years
He falls into the mistake many q MAJ

SOMEBODY NEEDS YOU.

When a man goes through the world
single for q number of years, he
needn't feel proud of himself. He Is
cheating some presumably noble wom-
an out of her affection, companionship.
and last, but by no means least, his
protection and support.
1t was the intention of one far wiser
than he that man should mate. He
knew that there was some poor soul
of q woman who needed man to make
her life complete. 1t is neither wise
nor best for man to live alone. The
first and greatest need of his life Is
for one nearer and dearer than all
others to be close by his side to up
hold his tagging spirits in time OF
adversely and sorrow.
No man lives his life through from
bOyhOod to middle age without encoun-
tering knocks from the cold world
Even wealth cannot divert them.
When life is young with him, he may
form the wrong kind of attachment,
close friendships with the kind of wom-
en- who are quite content to cOQuette
and fiirt with him over long term of
years. But these are the kind of wom-
en- who do not need him, and whom
he does not need. They are taking
up the years of his life, his time and
attention from the one pure, noble
woman somewhere in the universe who
does need him.
Many hold that each person Is born
with soul. To me, everything seems
to indicate that each one is born with
but half q SOUL The two half souls
must be brought together to form a
beautiful perfect soul-man and his
true mate.
feel sorry when I read of the men
who lived and died bachelors. I do.
not wonder that somewhere some
sweet and noble woman Is living a
spinster who should have been welded
to him had they but met and recog-
nized in each other their ideal.
They were like ships that passed
| in the night, yet never spoke. The
question with every man should be
| who and where is the one woman in
| this world who needs me to fulfill her
destiny? With this thought uppermost
in his heart, he should seek diligently
until he is brought face to face with
her. No man is so great, of so much
Importance in the world, that he
should dodge this issue. 1t is actu-
ally his duty to find that woman who
needs him more than all others.
Every man should concern himself
deeply in the question. "Who is for
me?" and not set himself firmly against
the holy joys of matrimonial alliance
Likewise men should fight nobly
| against the passion that ofttimes
creeps into their hearts when they
know beforehand it will not result IN
marriage.
For every man there is one stead.
fast, true womanly heart that was in
tended to beat only for him. It is a
God-given mission for a man to 20
forth, search and find. That is the
one woman whose half soul mates
with his and who needs him.

WANTED SON IN CHAIN GANG
GEORGIA Mother Preferred That to
Having Him Sent to the
Reformatory.

Atlanta, Ga.-"Try my boy for boot
logging and send him to the chain
gang, Judge, but don't send him back
to that reform school," was the plea
made before Judge Johnson by the
mother of D. A. Dougherty, an eight
een-year-old boy, who was brought be-
fore the recorder on a charge OF hav-
ing failed to return to the reformatory
after having been given a leave Of abb
sence to have his teeth fixed at At
lanta.
His mother charged that he had been
given 30 lashes and put on bread and
water and that he had been forced TO
work a.like dog at the reformatory.

EYES or THE YOUNG PEOPLE
Backward Student Rapidly Makes Up
Lost Ground When Astigmat-
ism Is Corrected.

The oldest boy In the class had
been called upon to read and had pro-
duced humiliation on the part Of his
teacher, who was entertaining a Wis
itor. The boy bent over his book,
studying out the words one by one.
Smaller children read the lesson off
quickly. Thoroughly despairing Of
Tom, for that was the dull boys name,
the teacher addressed the visitor !:
"What would you do with a hopeless
pupil like that?" -
"Have his ;eyes examined" the an
swer came quickly.
"Why, meyer had thought Of that"
gasped the teacher, and then with the
thought came various recollections of
Tom as he sat in his seat crouched
down over his book and her sharp adj
monition to sit up straight; Of his ut
ter failure to copy problems or SEN
fences written on the board; of his in
ability to learn, which came not from
lack of trying, but from what she had
termed "dumbness."
The teacher visited Toms father
and mother. After considerable per-
suasion they consented to take the boy
to an oculist. Tom was found to be
suffering from astigmatism, which
caused the words on a printed page to
double and dance before his eyes. A
pair Of glasses corrected the difficulty,
and Tom returned to school able to
see as well as any normal boy. He is
still handicapped by being two years
behind his grade, by painful lack OF
self-confidence and by reputation OF
dullness. However, all of these handi-
caps are being rapidly overcome.
A child who needs glasses needs
them at once and not several years
later. To wait until he has grown
older on the plea that he viii break
his glasses or outgrow them is to do
him an irreparable injury.

According to the sheriff, Elkinberg
admits quarreling with Bettinger, and
the bullet that killed Ostrander was
intended for Bettinger. The shot was

Little more than q week later, on
the LIST Of January, 1477, in a bitter
dawn OF ice and show, there came a
sound like the roar of an avalanche.
The officers rushed to their posts and
were cut down by men who appeared
here, there, everywhere. The artil-
lerists manned their guns, and found
that they had been spiked. The Swiss
poured through. A red glare broke
out and Lit up the scene. The Burgun-
dian camp had been fred at four ends.

Burgundy. lying mired by a waterhole,
and near him in the disguise of Bur-

hero and heroine the, son of the er-

strange and eccentric count of Gel

the Swiss Alps. THE novel is not
one of SCOTS, great ones, but 1t is
worthy and sound; and 1t possesses
a sentimental interest to his admir-
ers because 1t represents what may
truly be called the sunset of his
genius. He had his first paralytic
seizure in the gear following its
publication.
