A Prayer
Lord, when / am nearing the end
OF Life's day
Let me look DER the path !
have trod
And know l played fair every
inch OF the way,
AS sit by the 'firesice ana nod.
Let me, when years number three
score and ten,
Hold no barren regrets for the
past.
let me feel that my name is re-
spected by men,
And let them be friends to the
last.
When the locks time has left me
are scanty and gray,
And my teeth have long since
ceased to moult,
Let me sit by the fire in digni-
fled way,
And not try to act like colt.

81 Alicia Hammersy
A Woman Who Wouldn't Remarry
BY Idah McGlone Gibson
The Noted Writer

adjusted to each others ldlosyn-
crasies-these last years when
they learned tolerance and under
standing-were much happier
than that hectic period which is
called honeymoon
"My dear, l know perfectly and
so will you after marriage if you
you do not know it now that ma
ture knows but one law-the per-
petuation Of the species. And she
touches the eyes of youth with a
magic ointment which makes
both the man and the WOMAN
think that the other is supeThu-
man. The man feels that unless
he is able to press his lips any
time he wishes to that little curl
Just behind the ear of the woman
he loves, he will not be able TO
live, not realizing that after mar
riage the time will soon come
when he will forget that the little
curl is there. And the woman
wants to feel her lovers strong
arms about her, forgetting that
she cannot live forever in her hus-
bands arms. And then nature
brings the two together, and af-
ter the mating, she goes on her
way to work her will with other
men and other maids. She has
nothing more to do with these
two people whom she has tied to-
gether. They must depend upon
themselves. They must depend
upon a sympathy of taste = II
broad understanding which will
'The woman is vain, my dear.
make for companionship.
She wants still to be thrilled by
the words of burning love which
tell her that she is the one object
of alteration to her lover husband.
The man wants again the thrill
of the chase, and so, between them
disappointment starts, and they. if
they would be happy again, must
turn to each other again with the
knowledge that marriage and
love are two quite off
ferent things and start to build
their lives together on an alto
gether different basis"

That Walking Stick
fAtfica. Ind. TFihMnel

A cane was found by one OF our
citizens and left at this office
for Identification and reclama-
tion. 1t is not much of a cane,
but still, viewing the stick from
a psychological side glance, 1t
must have done service to some
citizen Of Attica for many years.
1t is not very long cane, there
such as a strong man would use.
1t is not a very long came, there
fore 1t must have belonged to a
man with long arms, slightly
stopped, with the habit of walk
ing In deep meditation, with face
cast downward. Therefore this
walking stick must have belonged
TO professional mana doctor
or lawyer perhaps. Judging from
the color of the cane the owner
must be dark complexioned, gray
haired and eyes either gray or
brown. At closer look at this
stick the conclusion is reached
that the former owner must have
held some public office for quite
number of years. as 1t shows 1t
had been shifted from the right
to the left hand an incaleulable
number Of times on occasions
when the owner met up with fell
low citizens with franchises to
exercise. II the owner of this
walking stick will call at this Of
flee, describe. the property and
pay for this notice at cents
line we would be very glad to
turn the cane over to him.

The following is a good statement
of the farmers case, as one CORE

Sixty years of my life had rolled

tainly all wore breeches, but none of
them claimed exemption. Three of
them enlisted shortly after war was
declared. The youngest was boy Of
eighteen. Myself, one of the boys,
and my sixteen-year-old daughter
were left to conduct farm of more
than 300 acres, and we had to work
from 16 to Is hours every day. If we
hired any help we had to pay NUM-
ton plant wages for an eight-hour day,
and if we had any surplus cash, the

OREGON IS D1sAppolNT1N1:

The French foreign office specifically
denies the report that the French GOV.
eminent is about to recognize the Obre-
eon government of Mexico, mailing a
rumor that was not believed in this
country. The fact is that the Obre oon
regime thus far has not lived I'm to the
hopes aroused when General Obrepon as
sumed the presidential office. It was felt
that at last Mexico had found the stro,o
man to bring order from chaos. Obreaon
made good promises but he has not mt
these into effect and Americans writing
from Mexico say that the Obrepon gov.
eminent is not much improvement unop
that of Carranza except that Obrepon is
well disposed toward the United States
There is, however, a locality that is
said to be paved with good intentions
Obregon has not shown strength in deal
ing with the situation He has failed
thus far to repudiate the confiscatorv
policies of Carranza and has not been
willing to place in writing apy promise
for fair dealing with American interests
in Mexico. This attitude has NOT i'm
proved his standing with Wasbinpton
In searching for the reason for the lack
of firmness of the Mexican president
there is advanced the belief that he is
afraid of offending the Mexicans 1t is
sal that strong opposition to the Gov
eminent has been formed and that there
are many Mexican followers of Bolshe-
vism. 1t is reported that crisis in Mexi-
can government affairs may come at any
time.-Kennebec journal.

Goats and Wraps of Silk and Satin
Hats That Gleah and Glitter. Gray
Hose and Shoes.
NEW YORK, Mar4h %. Easter comes
early this year and the weather promises
to be as advanced 81 everyone interested
in clothes is rushing to avoid being
caught in heavy t&es when the season
calls for dainty newithings.
Spring hats have Slready been worn in
Infinite variety of shapes, materials, and
colorings, and the glitter of tinse, is SO
closely repeated in the new straws and
hat textiles that it is difficult to realize
that all the Jet and tinsel appearances
are achieved in fea therweight fabrics,
and semi transparent brads Horsehair
braids with embroideries of narrow gilt
tering straw make especially dressy and
becoming hats. Their shape is altogether
a matter of individuaa style and prefer
ence. Fashion gives endorsement to
large, small or medium types, those with
rims or without, Dropping OF turned back
in any fashion that suits the wearer.
Paradise and glycerized ostrich are
feather leaders, and fancy pins are often
the sole and sufficient trimming of draped
shapes developed in; straw or satin
Milan brsids are especially smart in
shapes that require iu}t touch of trim
ming. A modified sd lor in black Milan
straw, has high drap4d crown as if the
top had been knocked u a brim narrower
at the left side and tplit on the right
where it Wldens and dtoops. A narrow
tie of gold edged ribboneircles the crown
and ends in a small rdeette and ends at
the right side Melanses of flowers and
fruit continue modish, and often COM
pletely cover either the crown or brim of
the hat. In any case there is enough
plain surface to set off the trimming, for
the more elegant creations are never
overturned.
