with US we heard a tapping outside the
cave and everyone jumped up thinking

was and save himself from starvation.
''But we all jumped back, for in the

out of the top we saw the legs OF turkeys,

beautiful sparkling white dress, and her
eyes were ike two bright stars.
"No one spoke TO her, nor did she
speak, but she went straight to the big
table in the cave and spread feast for
US. There were so many things that none
of Us could remember half Of them when
we had finished eating.

knows for wife and lead her to the
altar.
No one need smile. however, at the wo-
man who wants to get married, and IN her
search for husband is driven to the
desperation of advertising for n nice,
gentle, quiet man who is willing to work
in double harness, and will stand when
hitched.
Since we all admit that marriage is the
proper sphere for woman, and the one
in which she finds her own highest happi-
ness. and is most useful to society, we
should encourage her on in the husband
hunt instead of berating her Tor going
out on the chase Nothing could be more
idiotic and inconsistent than Our attitude
in this matter. and if we only had enough
intelligence TO abolish the foolish con-
vention that prevents women from openly
seeking her mate we should not only have
more marriages, but happier ones.
For women know what they want III a
husband, and if they had their choice
they would get it. II is only because they
have to take any thing that ls offered To
them that they make what appears TO
us to he such poor selections.
All honor, then, TO the woman who
wants a husband and has the courage to
fate and ending her days in the Spinster' S
Retreat.
would remind such one Of two
things. The first is TO use Judgment in
selecting her hunting ground. Just rs
there is no use in fishing in a river N
which there are no fish, or beating bush
in which there are no birds, so there is nc
profit in seeking a husband in places
where the only men are dotards, or beard
less boys.
At present the happy hunting ground
| for husbands is in the business world
| There are two reasons for this. One u
that when q woman is in business she Is
| where the men are thickest, and where she
has an opportunity TO meet daily and
hourly men of every conceivable type
/ Anv business girl knows hundred time,
/ more men than the most popular society
belle docs, and has therefore that many
more chances 10 catch one.
Secondly, in business girl has man
off his guard When he visits girl IN
her home, or takes her out TO parties he
! knows that he has entered into the do
/ main of the man hunter, and that tht
| traps are set and have been bsited especial
/ lv for him. so he Is wary and suspicious
| But with the business woman he feels
! snfe, and so he strolls merrlly along, care
| less and unconcerned, until she gets hel
pot shot into his heart. and bowls hin
| over.
/ | would also remind the woman who
wants 20 marry that men are like chill
dren, indifferent 10 the things they have
and with which they are familiar, but
taken with new toy Thus il is that tn,
girl who is a wall flower at home is rushed
when she goes to a strange place, and thst
not infreouently woman who has beer
regarded as hopeless old maid makes 1
highly desirable match when she goes on {
visit to her sister.
The moral OF all which Is, il you are no
appreciated at home. 60 where the meT
have better taste There is nothing like
| change of partners.

But Bruin did not even answer; he
went right on with his story.
Now, that silly story says that the
little girl only tasted the porridge in the
four bowls and that she waited until she
came to the bowl OF 'Littlest Bears before
she ate it all up.
That cannot be true, because the
porridge our family makes has always
been the very best in the world, and
no one could have waited until he reached
the very last bowl before eating all he
could get.

platinum and palladium was stolen
from the university extension labora-
tory during the latter part OF Aprll

ouested to withhold the fact until clues
were run down. The platinum was IN
the form of crucibles and was stolen
from the safe The theft was reported
IN the police and the Bureau of Stand
ards at Washington was notified.
Colfax-Street working has been
rushed with a vim in Colfax the past

of work on four different streets with
a big road machine
