SPORTSMEN CAN SHOOT
DUCKS ON SEPTEMBER 18th

The open season on ducks, accord
ing to the state law, opens on October
1st but the federal migratory law
sets the date at September 18th, and
as the state law on migratory birds
automatically conforms with the fed
eral law, the latter date will probably
be the one observed in this state.
In Elko county, says the Free
Press, there are more ducks this year
than for many years past. This is
due to there being more water every
where, and the ducks have nestled
along the streams and water holes
They are large enough to fly now. and
fishermen say that fiocks can be seen
on every stream. Over in Ruby Val
ley, the hunters paradise of eastern
Nevada. there are million young
ducks waiting for the hunters on the
opening day.

" HE matrimonial tragedy OF which we
hear the most is that of the deserted
- wife, who at middle age finds that her
husband has tired of her, and is Indifferent
| to her, even if he has not wandered off after
! some younger and fairer face.
We hear so much of lonely wives, and see
so many married women working with might
| and main to keep down their flesh, and keep
up their pep in order to retain their hus-
bands affections that have fallen into
the way of thinking that matrimony is per-
| petual picnic to women, and that it is only
men who find it rainy Sunday with rela-
| tives in the country.
We accept the fact that the years bring
disillusion to the man. We realize how the
monotony of domesticity gets on his nerves,
and how he gets sick and weary of seeing
the same face across the breakfast table from
him, and listening to the same complaints, and
winding the same clock, and putting the same
key in the same door at the same hour ev-
cry night.
We can see how his passion could cool off
as his wifes beauty faded and her peculiari-
ties increased; how Familiarity could even
blunt his perception of her virtues, until the
time might come when all he could see in
her was just homely, nagging woman who
SMILED when she talked, and could never let
anything rest. ~
Far otherwise is the popular conception of
the middle-aged woman. We picture her as
sloshing over with romance to her dying
day. We see her in an attitude of perpetual
| alteration before her husband, who continues
| to be the hero of her girlish dreams to the
end. we never imagine her as growing tired
| of domestic life, or as perceiving that hus-
band has gotten bald, and bay-windowed, and
prosy.
| Men are especially committed to this view
| Of woman's heart being perpetual motion
| machine That never runs down after it is
once put in motion. Therefore, a man never
| loses any sleep over the problem of how to
/ etain his wife's affections. He knows that
| he simply can't lose her and that she is just
! bound to go on loving him because she can't
| help it. Shes built that way.
| It appears that there is some slight error
! in this view of the situation, and that very
| often the middle-aged woman is just as tired
| Of matrimony as any man could be, and just
as much bored by her husband as he could
possibly be by her. At any rate, have got
ten letter from woman who turns most
| interesting searchlight on this matter. She
| says
II have been reading some Of the advice
| you have been giving to old men who have
| wearied Of the women to whom they are mar
| ried, and who want to swap off old wives
| for new.
'How do you know their wives are not
| tired of them and glad to have them go? A
| woman of so or so may be done with ro-
| nance, or it may merely be that her hus-
| oand doesn't look romantic to her as he

SUBSTITUTES
By DR.. Frank Crane

A Third of Life is spent in sleep.
It is this Third of Life that forms the SUD-
ject of a story by Perriton Maxwell.
It is a clever and convincing argument Tor
the necessity of careful study of dreams
and their relation to life and character.
One picks I'D a book that has anything to
do with dreams with good deal OF heslta-
ton. So many useless and fantast1c IDEAS
about them have been promulgated tnat
those of us who are concerned with the
normalities of life, and who are ANXIOUS 10
keep out all suggestions of morb1d1ty, are
shy of the whole business.
I picked up Maxwelps book and expected
to read probably the first chapter and the
table of contents and skim through the rest,
afterwards RELOCATING the volume to the PIE
which the secondhand bookstore man calls
for regularly.
I was mistaken.
through, from cover to- cover, and at one
sitting, which shows that to me at least it
was an interesting story. 1t is not like any
other novel ever read. 1t violates most OF
the conventionalities of storytelling. And
yet it has charm.
Nobody can tell what makes story in.
teresting, except that it contains that
strange spark of genius that lures the reader
on.
Besides being an interesting story, 1t is q
sound and wholesome volume. With thou
sand opportunities to run off into foolish and
dangerous Dy-pdLuS, IL udS SIuCh " 4Io n1csAn
contention and has carefully guarde1
against any suggestions Of morbidity that
might do harm
The main danger that lies in giving i'm
portance to dreams consists in giving ere
dence to the folly that dreams foretell the
future. Concerning this, here is one pas
sage from the book:
Dreams afford no occult method Of look
ing into the future; often they may seem to
foreshadow what lies ahead of us, but as
fal1ible prophets they are impotent as the
crystal ball of the professional fortune
teller"
In another place 1t is said:
"After all, nothing exists except what is
registered. on the brain, and that chiefly
through the eye. The Importance of our
wakeful consciousness has, I think, been
vastly overrated. Who dares say that the
dream state is not what Nature really in
tended us to cultivate and develop, so that
life might become more marvellous than it
is, less bounded by physical restriction; OF
that our puzzling period of wakefulness is
not primarily as a mere interlude during
which to gather and store impressions for
the larger life of dreams?"
On the whole, it is delightful and re-
freshing book, an original piece of fiction
with just enough serious purpose in it to
keep it from being what most fiction is
chaff which the wind driveth away.
