My daughter, knowest thou man
who hath dwelt long in Bachelor
Apartment.
Then, charge thee, BEWARE of
him! For his ways are full of guile,
and he hath not thrill left.
For 10, the Bachelor Apartment
is curse sent upon Woman.
Go to-! Though man may dwell
for many years in the back ballroom
of boarding ouse, he shall fear no
evil. W
Neither shall he receive any SYM
oATHY, not any solace in his at
Fiction.
But in the moment when he taketh
unto himself Bachelor Apart
ment," the sweet feminine thing is
stricken at sight of his loneliness
and yearneth to make him "com-
Portable"
And all his days are made bitter
with sofa-cushions, and laundry-bags
and shaving-pads, and embroidered
collar-boxes, and cellarettes, and foot
stools, and knick- knacks, and cozi-
ness, and teapots and fern-dishes, I'M
til his house resembleth robbers
den, filled with spoils from the har-
ems of a sacked city.
He groaneth when he seeketh for a
corner in which to put his shoes; he
curseth, when he returneth after
dark, and falleth over tabouretes and
statuettes, and other evidence of the
pursuit of man." he laugheth, as he
borroweth worn gloves and cast-off
hosiery from hi smen friends, in or
der that he may supply ALL those
who desire to do his mending.
And, unto him, in matters of love
and sentiment, there is nothing NEW
under the sun!
For, alas! the man that weddeth a
widow is known in the Land, as
Number Two" but the woman that
weddeth a Bachelor lattee is Num-
Der THIRTY-TWO.
When she seweth on his buttons
and mendeth his smoking jacket.
whe she press tn his favorite scarf,
and polisheth his silver brushes, when
she arrangeth the cushions behind
his head, and findeth his pipe, and
patteth his shoulder, and runneth her
fingers through his top hair, and mix
eth his favorite salad, and sootheth
his headaches, he experiences NO
thrill, neither any novelty.
For all these tender little minis
trations are unto him but as repeti-
tions of yesterdays story and the
echoes of last years popular song.
Verify, his sentiments are frayed
at the edges, and his emotions fraz-
zled and moth-eaten.
His heart is patched in many
places, and his illusions are as last
June June's rosesz-withered.
Therefore if thou wouldest have
thy little acts of devotion appreciat-
ed, my Daughter, | charge thee wed
not one of these, but rather choose
yearling WHOEVER, who hath for
gotten what it is to be coddled, the
flowers of whose romance have been
preserved in the cold storage of mat
rimony, and whose heart is the ten
derest and most impressionable
things in all the world. -Selah.

wHEM THE WAR ENDS.

the White house announcement to the effect that the
President will issue proclamation Immediately after the
ratification of the treaty with Germany declaring that war
time prohibition i, at an end clears up any doubts as to
the exact time of the legal end of the war is scarcely based
The constitution places the war power in the hands of
congress- and the Supreme court has decided that the Pres
dent has no power to declare to conclude peace
except as he may empowered by congress 1t is possible
therefore that if congress for any should decide that
the wal emergency continues until after the Austrian treaty
for instance, is ratified that action and not the White house
opinion would govern ;.
reasonable one and in line with the ac6On taken on the
other side of the Atlantic In France and England there
were many business contracts based upon the duration OF
the war and the business world and the courts have de-
cided that this means until the formal ratification of the
treaty of peace with the principal enemy beigereqt In
other words peace already exists legally in both France
and Great Britain and all duration of the war contracts

test it in the courts One is apt to think that any law
which gouges deeply sort of an unconstitutional

are dealing with the federal government and the act
will he enforced while legal differences of opinion are
bresbed out and the chances are that the brewers will
