years old now and was married

be seen that ! entered into mar
rage with a Young girls idea Of
romance and all the expectations
of being vertically converted into a
queen in the Kingdom of Happiness
Where the sun always shines and
ne'er cloud darkens the sky. But.
alas, i had not reckoned on the
king who must live there with me
in the form OF a forty-ycar-old OK
pcrienced. Tatter-of-fact man OF
the world. who lost no time in kilt
ing every bit OF sentiment In me
by telling mo that ne had only
married me In order 10 have a cook
and housekeeper, although he could
wen afford TO have someone do the
drudgcry that he Forced upon me.
II was not a case Of Ito have and
hold" with me. For three whole
years while counting me he show er.
ed rue with attentions that all girls
love, but after he had finally per-
suaded me to marry him and I was
then In his power. he showed him
self to be a real tyrant, settling
down to be r. cranky, selfish old
man.
So my advice 10 young girls who
become infatuated with older men
is-ncvcr marry them unless you
have tho approval OF your parents
or someone possessed with the
knowledge of judgment that only
experience through hard knocks
and bitter Gisappointments can
give.
Anyway, it would be hard to con-
vince me that young women mar

GREAT MEN AND WOMEN
WILL HAVE TO BE BORN.

i am woman and love nay sex.
Ever since I've been old enough to
think for myself ! have believed In
woman's rights and possibilities. I
admire women doctors, lawyers,
writer's or any other professions to
which women have aspired. but I
still am OF the opinion that the
greatest possibility and privilege
left to womanhood is the JOY OF be-
ing a mother. Yes, il means sacri-
fee and toll, but after all is said.
nothing of any Importance was
ever accomplished in this word
without real sacrifice.
have one precious little girl two
and a half years old. She is my
sole companion during the entire
day, and i can assure you ] would
not take anything in exchange for
her company. That sweet little
face and voice, with such confidence
in mother, and those dear little feet
ever ready to save many a step
for me.
I wouldn't take the finest dog
and cat this old world could ever
produce in place of my baby.
o! If the women of today would
rally TO the standard. There is Il
grave responsibility resting on us.
There will have to be great men
and women born and reared to re-
place the ones of today. and IL We
fail. what will the outcome be?
I am more than convinced that
nine men out OF ten would do tho
right thing by noble wife and
mother.
Yes, | still believe there are good
women. and ] hope many more will
see their error and mend their
ways and make their lives n sue
cess instead of blank.

majority of women. too, is allotted
quite a number of loves, four, five.
or even more.
There can be no definite average.
A man may love a dozen women in

dozen men. Each love may be a
big, fierce. honest love. finally sus-
pended for very good reason. Be-
cause 1t suspends 1t does not follow
that the sentiment was shallow, or
was not love, or that it is ever for

Half the married people in this
world can look back over their lives

now know were loves as deep and
beautiful as that which carried
them into matrimony. and which in
no wise lessen their love for the
man or woman they finally chose.
Maybe they We're not loves that
would have made successful mar
riages. Fate often kindly takes a
hand in these matters, but they are
none the less loves. A man or
woman does not always marry the
very greatest of their loves.

ably now claim that his present
love il his big love and he prob
ably determines its bigness by put
ting il alongside what he formerly
thought was his big love.

1t is estimated that around 100000
babies die annually in The United
States, and that fully two-thirds of
these deaths are caused from diarr-
hoeal diseases or complications. These
disturbances in baby's stomach and
digestive organs are due mostly to
improper feeding, which throws a poi
son into the system. This poison un-
less eliminated, makes a mighty sick
baby.
When baby begins to fret, does not
sleep well, suffers with constipation,
diarrhoea, sour stomach and gas. or
is sometimes feverish, this is a sure
indication of indigestion, or improper
assimilation and elimination, culmi-
mating in serious trouble unless cor
rected with a good baby laxative.
When baby is in this condition great
care must be used not to give it
strong, irritating drugs that inflame
the delicate membranes of baby's
stomach.
"Baby Ease. +" a perfected baby lax
alive by baby specialist, is consid-
cred the most efficient baby laxative
and corrective. It is easy acting,

action or leave constituting after-ef-
fects. Your doctor will approve its
use. Ask your druggist for "Baby

Charles Lingo is the po5sessor of a
remarkable natural stone shaped ex-
actly like a Roman cross upon which
the Savior was crucifed, and only
about an inch in length. He received
the stone from a travelling man a few
days ago, and has since exhibited it
to a number of friends here
Although it was presented to him
as a "lucky" stone, Lingo places no
faith in the superstition said to hedge
about the natural wonder. According
to the salesman who gave the stone
to Lingo they are mined in quantities
in the foothills of the Blue Ridge
in Patrick county, Va, in
a section made renowned by the fact
that old King Powhattan, the father
of Pocahontas, once held undisputed
possession there. They are said to
be found in "a single quarry in that
far-famed Virginia region, and are
known as fairy" or "lucky" stones.
These little curiosities, which range
in size from one-fourth to one inch,
bear in the most exquisite carving
some form of a cross, which has been
delicately chiseled by natures own
hand, according to the legend which
surrounds their origin. Many Of
them are of the st. Andrew variety
others Roman, while those most
sought are the Maltese. So far as
Lingo knows, there is no religious
connected with the find
ing of these stones, either in fact
or fancy, the one he owns having been
given him by devout Methodist, who
asserts they are priced alike by mem
bers of all religious sects in that
part of the country.
The spot where the little curiosi-
ties are found is described in the leg
end as one where the good fairies
hourished and had their workshop
many centuries ago A strange place
one might say for Titania's subjects,
but all who visit in that beautiful
mountain region are said to find ev-
cry rock and tree Invested with a
glamour of romance. AS to the real
origin of the stones comparatively
is known as the leading
scientists of the country have failed

subject. However. in that remote
mountain secuOn, runs a very pretty
legend to the effect that hundreds of
years before King PoWhattan's dynas-
ty came into power, long before the
woods breathed the gentle spirit of
the lovely Pocahontas, the fairies
were dancing around a spring of lin
pid water, playing with the naiads and
wood nymphs, when an elfin messen-
ger arrived from a strange city, far,
far away in the land of the down
bringing the sad tidings of Christ's
death, and when they heard the ter
rible story of the crucifxion, they
wept. And as their tears fell upon
the earth they were crystalized into
little pebbles, on each of which was
formed a beautiful cross When the
fairies had disappeared from this en-.
chanted spot the spring and adjacent
valley were strewn with these unique
momentos of that melancholy event.
Not even in the Old World, with
its quaint and curious lore, is more
beautiful legend to be found; and
just how it originated, no one knows,
but for half century some of the
people of that country have held
these little crosses of stone IN E1ore

in the belief that they will protect the
wearer against witchcraft, sickness
