MARRIAGE.

Marriage has in it less beauty, but
more safety than single life; it has
not more ease but less danger, it is
more merry and more sad, it is full
er of joys; it lies under more bur-
dens, it is supported by all the
strength of love and charity, and
those burdens are delightful Mar
riage is the mother Of the world and
preserves kingdoms, and fills cities
and churches and heaven itself. Gel
ibacy, like the fly in the heart of
an apple, dwells in perpetual sweet
ness, but sits alone, and is confined
and dies in singularity; but marriage
like the useful bee, builds a house
and gathers sweetness from every
flower, and labors and unites into
societies and republics and sends
out colonies; and feeds the world
with delicacies, and obeys their kings
and keeps. order, and exercises many
virtues, and promotes the interest
Of mankind, and is that state Of good
to which God hath designed the pres
emit constitution Of the world.

Make Money in Lamb Sales.

Because there was poor market
for less than carload lots of lambs
in Ada County, Idaho an association
was organized in August by a few
members Of the county farm bureau
to handle them comparatively. For
ty-fve sheep producers were in this
organization and the first shipment
consisted Of $50 lambs. The price
offered by the local dealers was So
hundredweight, but they would not
handle more than few at time.
The price received by the association
was $14 a hundredweight net. This
deal alone gave the farmers $2,7oO
more profit.

Or did you with purpose true

The promptings of a cowardly heart
To even up with fate?
Did YOU send that Valentine
Just as an act of fun?
Well if you did, of course you ana,
AS to self you'd have it done
Did YOU send that Valentine
To drown some heart IN shame
Well. if YOU did, would you object
If others played the game?
Then ask yourself the question,
Is my life so free from STAN
That should with poison pen
Besmirch another's name?
Their seek to please Saint Valentine,
With olive branch and Dove;
Let each one send a valentine
Touched by the wand of Love.

ROW TO MAKE A
GOOD WIFE UNHAPPY

See your wife as seldom as posi-

cheerful in temper, or if, after
days or weeks absence, she meets
you with smiling face and in an
affectlonate manner, be sure to look
coldly upon her and answer her with
monosyllables. If she forces back
her tears and is resolved to look
cheerful, sit down and cape in her
presence, till she is fully convinced

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18th, 1919

The old saying mas IL Cnat Wnen
the days begin TO lengthen the cold
begins to strengthen" viii those
who are attending school and well up
in geography tell why this is the
case? Why should not the weather
become warmer as the hours of sun
shine become more, and the dead of
winter come at or near the shortest
day of the year?
Old Prob is evidently getting ready
to start off with clear stock of
weather, as he has for nearly three
months been unloading on US all the
odds and ends of storms, job lots of
SHOWS, shop-worn thaws and misfit
billiards which have been accumu-
lating in his business for several
years.
The men around here who'd rather
play poker and force their wives to
chop the wood for the kitchen stove
are generally those whose credit at
the grocery store is not the very best.
Keir Hardie, the socialist, says,
that even in the time of Eden, men
hid behind women's skirts. They
can't do it now.
Have you ever noticed the peculiar
indescribable grin, smirk, look or
something funny in a persons face
and carriage when wearing a new
suit or hat for the first time? You
may not notice the new article of APP
parel, but you can tell at a glance
from that foolish consciousness. And
now it is said that men are just as
vain as the women and just as smir-
ky and crack Drained over anything
new even necktie. We suppose
that it must all be true, because we
know by experience how smirky we
feel when we get a new subscriber.
Men win fight for their politics

BESSEMER NEWS

Bessemer, April 14-(Special) )-Intense excitement prevailed in the district Mon- day morning by the report of hold-up a. Convict Camp No. 4, two miles north of the city. Perry Pippen, negro convict, approached the guard and asked for cigarette. While complying with his re- quest the guard was overpowered and his gun was taken from him by the negro. Pippen then compelled the guard and six other prisoners at the camp to march be- fore him some distance to the woods when the guard was allowed to return, and the seven convicts were set at liberty to escape Three of the convicts volun- tarily returned to the camp, while four of the men escaped. Besides Pippen, three other negres made their escape, as fol- lows: Albert Fuller, Milton Jackson and Fred Clannan.
 The sheriffs office was notified, and all of the local deputies with members of the city police force went at once to the scene, but no trace had been found of the escaped prisoners. The fact of the guard $ having been placed in charge of the camp Saturday, and not being experienced in handling the convicts, is given as prob able cause of the ease with which the escape was made.
 Pippen had been sent to the camp Fri day, having been convicted on charge of grand larceny in two cases, and his term was for 30 months and 20 days.
