MOST MEN
ARE GREAT LIARS

A New YORK newspaper recently
received 20, 1000 replies to its question
as to the essentials in woman which
man mostS desires in mis- life mate.
The replies were as like as two peas
in a pod, and all of the twenty thou
sand lords of creation" who wrofe
the letters belonged to an Aaarias
club. Who was it said that all men
are liars? David, we believe; but
whoever it was, he said something
that time. All men are liars, when
it comes to ome
The chaps all placed virtue ahead
of everything else-she just had to
be virtuous; but they did not send in
any of their WI past records in that
respect. Then came domestlcity, i
cerity, fidelity, health, ~neatness, good
nature, c~leverness, and. last of all,
beauty. Ha, Beauty was last on the
list! David was a good guesser.
Reasons why some women appeal
to certain men are vague and indefi-
mite. Grouped and scrutinized, the
fact develops that all men, educated
or pretending to average refinement
define an attractive woman in very
much the same way. All are agreed
on their composite ideals; and yet
those of us who have lived long
enough to officiate as best man at the
finish know that more than often his
selection has few if any of these pr
fessed essentials of feminine beauty
and masculine bliss. This may be
because no man has his own way in
the choosing of a wife. Most of us
are run down and captured (busi-
ness here of loud snorts from the
female of the species).
The quiet. demure little homebody
who sings in the choir, runs her legs
off rustling bankable religion, and IS
wrapped up in books, music, children,
and other accredited frills of repose
full domesticity - she by whom all
these twenty thousand men swore as
the woman they wanted-sits alone
and unsought like Cinderella among
her ashes, while the slit skirt and
mustard colored hat draped ~jauntily
on a f~uffy-ruffied peachorina gets
away with the masculine goat.
Oh, thoughtless. thankless, incon-
sistent male person-selfsh, egotisti-
cal and staggering wretch that O
are. Your wigwag and wireless sig
nails and every move Upon the social
gridiron proclaim that old David was
a wise guy when he said that all men
are liars. The woman you most ad-
mire is the m that has charm,
and you ought to be truthful enough
to admit it.
The woman of charm does not care
a rap about masculine ideals, as a
general rule. She has talents of va
rious kinds. expensive toggery. stu
died airs of grace. is clever, and car
ries her clothes of with a frou-frou
that is enhancing to her special

COURT" ABOLISHED
 BY JUDGE MARTIN

Henry Thomas ana George Aber- nathy, negro prisoners of the city, and self styled "Jedge" and Sheriff" re- spectively, of the "city jail cote" were given an additional sentence of 10 days by Judge Henry J. Martin yesterday on a charge of exacting a toll of 25 cents from each incoming prisoner.
 It is alleged the two negroes or ganized a Kangaroo" court for the purpose of exacting tribute from their fellow prisoners.
 The court had only one sentence, which was "25 cents or 25 licks with the strap" The entire proceeds Of the court were appropriated by the "jedge" and the sheriff"
 The "cote" proceeded fairly we'll un- til they commenced to exact double toll. namely, 25 cents for the judge and 25 cents for the sheriff. which resulted in an appeal being made by Jim Lee, a victim of the double extortion, to Warden Puckett with the result the "jail cote" officials were taken before Judge Martin, who imposed the above sentence and abolished the tribunal.
