Would like for you to tell me which
is the happieSt life, TO live a married
life or to be an old maid? I've al
ways thought to live an old maid
would be happier, but L have been
going with a boy for some time, and
have become engaged to him. This
boy Is q real nice fellow and has al
him as 1 should. 1 don't care but a
little for him, stiIl 1 hate to urn him
Town for IL / ever marry L would
want to marry him and / know he
loves me. But as L think an Did maid
life would be happier L don't are to
marry, and il / don't marry him i
Won't W marry. / am nineteen
would be wise for me to do?
Yours is quite an extraordinary
question. Most girls are willing to
RUS into marriage with the first boy
who ome along. no matter how
young they are. To be an old maid
is far better, in my opinion, than be-
ing married unhappily. But to have
IA husband who is fine and splendid
in every way, q delightful home, and
probably children, is h life that will
make n woman happier than any
thing else. Be sur before you marry
that you truly love, and that the
man Is worthy of you in every way,
so that you will never have any cause
to regret it. Wait two or three years,
and you will be better able to know
your own mind.
I am the age OF eighteen and have
been travelling around with n young
man for about nine months and this
young ma has asked to marry me.
But ut present he Is not working and
has not worked for about three
weeks. Do you think IL Is proper for
me to go around with him or should
L turn him Town as my parents are
against him because he docs not
work. Please advise me as I am
anxiouc To find out what you think
Is proper for TO do a. I Low him dear

Dog Days

In an exchange we noticed the brief statement
that as these were dog days it behooved us to be
careful in regard to our own health and especially
the swimming hole.'' II was frankly stated that
they didn't know what it only it dog days.
Now it is well to remember that for every
event in life there is and especially in signs
that easily be traced that of the mythology of
Southern Europe and Northern Africa we'll the
Orient. The New York Tribune quotes from these
histories when it said that belief in period of the
year designated as dog days. comes down from the
Romans. and through them from the Egyptians.
There is no immovable date for the arrival of
dog days.. In Roman days the period began July
and ended Aug II, but these dates constantly
moving forward. very slowly, it is true but never
theless surely. In the of time dog days"
will synchronize with Christmas and New Year.
The dog days" governed by the rising and set
ting of the Dog Star Sirius, and this is varying
date only moving forward, but differing slightly
in different parts of the world.
The Egyptians, like other primitive peoples.
watched the heavens closely and observed that the
rising of one prominent star came with the annual
overthrow of the Nile, the great event of the
Egyptian year. So the priests of the Pharaohs de-
cided that this star either caused the overflow
sent warning, and IN gratitude they called the
star name signfyng 'watchdog.'
But the star came to the Romans at the
beginning of period of great heat and much sick
ness, and they were convinced that the added heat
of the summer was due to the star. One of their
writer's records:
THE day of this stars first rising in the morn
ing the boils wine turns dogs begin to go
mad the bile increases and rriates and all animals
grow languid. The diseases it usually occasions in
man are burning fevers, Mysteries and phrensies."
TO appease Sirius the Romans every year sacri-
feed brown dog.
The discovery later by astronomers that Sirius
was something like 10000, 100000 miles from the
earth rendered it rather improbable that any of it's
heat could make itself perceptble here, but the sup
erston as to dog days. still persists, and with it
the notion that dogs particularly prone to
mad at this season, thus perpetuating Roman be-
lief. There many persons that suppose that the
designation dog days. is given because Of this sup
posed canine propensity to rabies.
And where is the boy who has not looked as
kance at the old swimming hole at this period Of
the year, having been warned by old-fashioned
mother that Tiers is something noxious about the
water during dog days?"

Lafayette

In Auergue, France, on September 6, 1857 was
born Marquis De Lafayette, celebrated general, and
a hero of the American Revolution.
He was a page to the queen of Louis XIV. when
a boy at sixteen married, and, when the American
Revolution excited the sympathy of many hgh-spir-
tied Frenchman, he of the most friendly to
American independence In April, 1777, he sailed
from Bordeaux to aid the Americans in vessel
equipped at his expense, with the nominal disap
proval of France He landed in South Carolina
and thence proceeded northward, receiving ap-
pointment major general in July, and became an
intimate friend of Washington. At the battle of
Brandywine he was wounded, but served at Mon
mouth and in the Rhode Island campaign, and
turned to France in 1879 because of the with
England. However, before the close of the year he
returned to America, and member of the
board of Judges in the trial of Major Andre. In
1871 he commanded in Virginia against Arnold and
Cornwallis and returned France after the close of
the war, but made brief visit to America in 1884,
when he was received by the American people with
marks of great distinction.
In 1924 he made visit to America at the invi-
tation of congress, and given triumphant re-
ception Congress voted him township of land
and cash fund of 5000, 900.
Lafayette lived until May 20 1884, dying in the
city of Paris.
