Mr.. FOX AND LITTLE BRUIN

Mr.. Fox knew there was honey in
the old tree by the path in the woods,
but not being much of a climber he
did not care to risk stirring up the bees.
He had decided that the honey might
not be good, anyway, AZ he could not
get it, when coming along the path he
saw little Bruin.
Little Bruin WAS out oil alone, for
he wanted to find some berries for his
dinner, and Mr.. Fox thought he saw
way to get the honey without taking
any risk.
'THello, Little Bruin," he said pleas
antly. want a nice fat little pig for
your dinner"
OF course, Bruin answered he did
and Mr.. Fox told him if he would
climb the tree and scare away the. bees
and then throw down some of the
honeycomb to him he would tell him
where to get the little pig.
If he had been older, Little Bruir
would have asked to see the pig first
but he was young and goodnatured

OF course, Mr.. Fox did not give Little

"No, bees are not afraid of bears,

Because an American man can't order
in SO many bushels of love over the
telephone or by telegram, or get an
option on woman's heart through his
broker, he is at the end Of his tcthcr,
sentimentally speaking
Or Mt least SO / gather from the

courtship.
Now, in reality, although men profess
to think it difficult, the art Of courtship
is very simple. and consists in choice

and the other by seigc, and both ways
work.
The woman's choice is by storm.
There is something elemental and bar
barre in every woman's nature that re-
spends TO brute force. Women adore
men who do not ask for their love, but
who take it, and the man who tells a
woman that he is going TO marry her,
whether she will have him or not, ends
by doing it. The strong and passionate
wooing has gone to her head and captured
her fancy, and when you capture 8
woman's fancy you have the key 10 the
/ citadel, and may enter when you please
The fort has surrendered.
Not less successful, however, is the
patient waiter. The man who can CAM
on woman's doorstep year after yea
eventually marches with her to tn,
altar. The stars fight together in thei
course for him. For one thing beinl
always on the ground, he gradually anc
imperceptibly esta blishes Quarantn,
around her that drives other men away
For another, she gets used to him ane
dependent on him, and when, at last
he discreetly threatens to withdraw
himself, she suddenly realizes that i
will make a gap in her life that nothin,

and begs him not TO leave her.

Besides, he liked honey himself.
'Of course you are not afraid OF the
bees, because your coat is so thick.
And bees are afraid of bears anyway.
So don't run away if they alight all

make sure of the honey.

such subtle appeal to vanity and her
pity that she goes under.
Many men hold to the theory That
bribery is effective in courtship, and
shower the women they love with gifts.
This is n mistake. Women like presents,
and they adore anything that smacks
of their personal tastes, but the woman
who demands giftg to win her favor Is
not in love. She is simply greedy.
The most vital point of n courtship
is the proposal and many men lose out
at the last because they have not wit
enough to seize the psychological mo-
ment when n woman is ready to say
yes" The finest bit of acting in 'Ihe
Dolls House" is when Mrs. Fiske turns
up the lamp when her husbands friend
makes love to her in the twilight. Every
woman in the house knows it is because

GILMORE FINED $25.
North Adams Young Man Who Created
Disturbance Here Last Week.

Vincent Gilmore Of North Adams
was fined $25 and costs this forenoon
by Municipal Judge William j.
Meagher for breach of the peace on
Main street on the evening of May
25. Two members Of the Bennington
post, American Legion, Chief Of Po-
lice Brazell, Officer J. NJ Morrissey
and Judge r. c. Bennett appeared in
court and testified concerning the de-
tails Of the disturbance with which
the young man was charged
All the evidence tended to prove
that the young man was under the in
fluence Of liquor and not entirely re-
sponsible but 1t also showed that the
small riot that developed following
Officer Morrissey's attempt to arrest
Gilmore was due almost entirely to
the attitude of the young men who
crowded the street and who insisted
that Gilmore should not be taken to
jail.
Judge Meagher spoke at some
length concerning the disposition on
the part Of many young men to uphold
disturbers on occasions when they
come in contact with officers of the
law. 1t is impossible he said to take
the public into court and administer
punishment but II the element that
is responsible for the law breaking Is
to be allowed full sway the local po-
lice officers might just as we'll be re-
moved from duty
