enemy has been firmly held in check.
while in Italy the Austrian attack

retreat has turned into q rout.
Meanwhile American troops are

exceeding all earlier expectations and
Germany may sccn awake to the folly
of continuing a hopeless struggle. If

haps the most significant indications
are the criticisms Of the kaiser by such
courage to speak their minds. The

the war for the sole purpose Of enforce

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. thompson: Last sum-
mer 1 met an out-of-town boy at
dance and he seemed to take a liking
to me from the beginning. ] gave
him my address and we corresponded
constantly and every time something
was going on he would take me-. He
was very good looking and attentive,
too.
Not long ago I met another young
man not half SO good looking who
could not compare with him IN any
respect. Just because I danced with
him q great deal the former got jeal
Gus and would not say goodbye. and
now he does not say anything in ref
erence to ur COMPANY.
Do you suppose he Is waiting for
me to apologize? Is it proper for me
to ask his pardon, for I love him?
r. II.
You have done nothing to apollo
gize for. The boy had not asked
you to marry him and SO he had no
right TO object to the attention you
permitted the other boy to pay you.
1t would be a mistake to say you are
sorry for something that was not your
| fault. boy who Is so Jealous that
he is willing to give you up would
make most unsatisfactory husband.
Try to forget him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
girls of fifteen. Are we too young to
go to public dances? FRIENDS.
Yes. you are too young.

GLOBE SIGHTS
From the Atchison Globe.1

Some men are known as patriots
simply because they are orators.
Very often q man in position to get
first hand information gets it with hts
feet.
The hardest man to get along with
is the man who is ignorant and does
MT realize he 10 ignorant.
Something entirely new under the
sun would be an American soldier
who would frankly admit that he isn't
rearing to go to France.
Old saying by a modern young man:
1T wouldn't take q million for the
baby already have and wouldn't give
a cent for another one"
An Atchison man, who has worked
one afternoon in a wheat field, thinks
he ought to be privileged to eat white
bread for the rest of the year.
The farmers applaud but as a mat.
ter of fact they haven't much respect
for the staying powers of the city men
who have gone out into the harvest
fields
There are three kinds of men: Those
who enlist when things look the dark
est; those who enlist when 1t looks
like the war will soon be over and
those who don't enlist at all
