Falling chImnsys.

Tall chimneys are usually destroyed
BY removing part OF the masonry Just
above the base, and replacing it with
timbers and wooden wedges. These
are soaked with inhammable oils and
set on fire., Before they are wholly
burned, the chimney becomes weak
and falls. When = wel!-built chimney

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 have a
mother TO whom l could go for adj
vice, but / am afraid she would not
quite understand.
had been going with a young chap
for about two years. He seemed TO
think a great deal of me, while l was
not especially fond of him. Later he
declared his for me and asked
me to be his wife. The lovely dia-
mond must have dazzled me, as | said
Yes" He treated me with all the
love and respect in the world. l shall
have to admit 1 treated him terribly.
Everyone said 1 did. At last we had
a misunderstanding and he became
quite angry, which naturally led to a
broken engagement.
Now that he has gone l find think
lot of him and would give almost
again.
He is now going with a very lovely
girl who lives not far from him. Do
you think he could have cared so
much and then leave me entirely for
three months, never trying to make
up? Do you think he ever thinks of
me?
L leave for resort in three weeks.
At first 1 thought 1 would drop him
a card, but he is very stubborn and
am quite sure he never intends to
speak.
as | am nearly heartbroken. | admit
it is all my fault and l am willing to
make it clear to him: but 1 just know
he will not pay bit of attention TO
me- NC b
1 think you should write the young
man note and say that now you real
ize what a mistake you made in quar-
relling. Tell him that you would like
to regard him as friend, if nothing
more, ana that you hope he will re-
gard you as such. He may still care
for you, and if he does your letter will
probably bring him back. But in case
he does not come, do not grieve. Be
thankful that you have learned the
lesson of approaching fathfulness and
| loyalty before it is too late.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Is it advisa-
BILE for a man and woman both to con-
| tinue work after marriage?
ISABELLE.
1 do not consider 1t advisable for a
couple to marry if the woman expects
to work after marriage. She has not
| the strength to do justice to her work
and her home and in almost all cases
/ it Is the home which is sighted. After
| hard days work she is not in con-
dition to be the happy companion to
her husband which she should be.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: When at a
| party and you happen to get beside
| boy, is it the boy or the girls place
| to start the conversation?
A TO z.
Either the boy or the girl can start
the conversation if they have been in
troduced. The one who thinks OF
something pleasant and appropriate to
say should say it.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer
Ourselves and Others.-1.

A woman asks this question:
should our individual development
be sacrificed for the sake of others ?"
There is no other problem in the
whole world that it is as impossible
to solve, because no human wisdom
can lay life in the scales and tell US
just what we owe to ourselves, and
Just what we owe to other. people.
Also because there is no other virtue
that leans SO much to vices side as
self sacrifice.
The relationships into which Fate
thrusts us lay upon us certain obliga-
lions. We owe certain duties to our
fathers and mothers, our husbands
and wives, our brothers and sisters,
and we equally owe certain duties to
ourselves, and only God himself
knows which should go to the wall
when these obligations clash.
The role of the martyr has ever
been esteemed a noble one. 1t has been
the custom to extoll the self-abnegat-
ing who have given up their lives to
the service of others, but now we are
turning the cold, calm searchlight of
common sense on the subject and ask
whether the martyr was a hero or a
fool and whether the sacrifice he
made was worth while or not, and
especially IL IL any Teal
good
Certainly there is no merit in use
less suffering. Nor is it a virtue, it is
a crime, for a big strong individual to
immediate himself before a weak little
one.
Besides this, experience shows US
that self sacrifice often does more harm
than good. 1t fosters selfishness and
tyranny and the parasitic spirit in
those for whom the sacrifice is made,
and in the end they would have been
better off If they had been forced by
necessity to give up their own wishes
and to stand on their own feet, and
fight their own battles.
You can see this illustrated in a
thousand ways every day. We all
know some talented woman who could
have had a big, broad, successful life
| if she had been able to go out into
the world and develop her gifts. But
| she had an old mother or father who
was welded to some small provincial
community, and who could not be in
duced to leave the house in which he
or she had lived for fifty years. Neith-
er would the selfish old creature con-
sent to having any one but the daugh-
ter take care of him or her, so the
woman sacrificed her own life and
robbed the world of the riches she
| would have given it, to crafty the
| senile whim of one who was utterly
Incapable of measuring the wrong he
| or she was doing.
And the sardonic part of such a
| sacrifice is that if the woman had had
the strength to take what she owed
| to herself and had gone away and
| made her career, her parents would
have been filled with pride at her sue
cess. and she would have made them
| a hundred times happier than she did
| by staying on, and doing the mental
| services for them that any hired girl
could have done just as we'll

BURLEsoN AND THE FARMERS

Having earned the condemnation of
all other classes of society, Postmaster
General Burleson now has turned his
attention to the farmers. Should the
agriculturists of the country become
thoroly aroused the postmaster gen.
erals fate may be considered sealed
1t is not recorded that the farmers
ever lost a battle.
The New York grange has made a
vigorous protest against curtailment
of the rural free delivery service of
the postoffice department, which has
almost ceased to function in the CEN
trail part of the state. The grange de-
mands that Postmaster General BurIe-
sons recent rulings be rescinded and
that routes which he has discontinued
be restored.
Farmers would be entirely justl-
fled in demanding, instead of the res
toration of the old service, an i'm
provement on former Standards" says
the Rochester Democrat and Chron-
fcle. THE postmaster generals point
of view is all wrong His aim should
be to raise the department. standard
of efficiency, not to see how much he
can curtail it without interrupting
communication entirely. The postof-
flee department should be striving to
keep ahead of the times, not studying
how far it can safely lag behind
them"
Burleson's sentiments toward the
rural free delivery service. which he is
disorganizing, are set forth in his own
words as follows:
You know it does not make any
difference to the farmers what time
they get their mail. 1t doesn't matter
whether 1t is morning or noon or
night; they read it at night any way.
And yet 1 am continually getting COM
plants because some farmers mail is
an hour or so late. and I know per-
fectly well it doesn't matter a Thin
bleful to him."
1t is as If the farmers business
letters were of no consequence. says
the Buffalo News. 1t is as if it was no
concern when the farmer got his
newspaper with its market reports. II
is as If the weather forecasts were of
no importance. The farmer of today
is business man in every sense of
the word. The day of h;t-or-miss with
him has gone. He must have quick
and accurate information in relation
to affairs that have to do with his
business. and the only means that Of
fers for hi to get it is thru the rural
delivery. Take it away from him, OF
pupfni; n and Won will mn hin, no 81,

Sulphur and 'Lasses.
How dear to my heart
Are the scenes of my childhood,
The sulphur and 'lasses
My infancy knew
Every spring they came.
Hand i'll hand, as it were.
Mother used to mix that unholy
Alliance and We had to take it
Out of large spoon, in fact
The largest spoon in the world,
Which is one reason we have
Never had a beautiful mouth.
1t was stretched all out of shape
In childhood's unhappy hours
And then we ran away from LONE
To become an undertaken
But compromised on writin' column.
That was many years ago
And we thought we had stuffed
sulphur and molasses forever.
But this morning we had
To shut our eyes and swallow
The bowl of a large wooden spoon
Aimed by an unerring hand,
And our patient wife
And our two kids had to do the same
Mother is visiting us this spring
And she brought the ingredients
Along with her. 1t is thus
The innocent crimes of childhood
Pursue one to his last day.

Government operation of railroads,
compared with private operations,
has not only been more cost
ly and less efficient but it has
brought complaints of discrimi-
nation and establishment of
inequitable rates and injury to bust
ness. 1t has brought strikes and
threats of strikes, discomfort among
employees, antagonism toward the gov
eminent, wastefulness, depreciation,
retrogression and disorganization. An
appointment to government office does
not carry with it extraordinary abil-
ity. intelligence, experience or lnteg
rity. il is impossible that government
operation would place in control men
of greater ability and experience than
were the men who built up the enter
prises under private management.
