Worsa's mghess Paid WNnaz Writes.

Too Much sweetness.
OF course, courtship, which is all
billing and cooling, and Kissing, and
the honeymoon which is the hang over
from the courtship, and is also linked
with sweetness long drawn out, do
not fall under this condemnation.
They are mere sentimental interludes,
q midsummer madness, for which
marriage is generally g sovereign
cure.
Perhaps it is because men have a
better understanding OF love and
romance than women have that hus-
bands seem more successful in pre-
serving theirI wives affection than
wives are in keeping their husbands
interested in them Men know that
you must use sentiment sparingly, as
you do sugar, to sweetenf domestic life,
and SO they keep their wives always
asking for more. Women try to make
the whole dish of sugar, and it is too
sweet for the taste of the average
man. A very little of it suffices, and
he doesn't ask for a second helping.
The trouble is that women forget
that there is nothing on earth on
which we cannot be surfeited; that
there is nothing of which we do not
tire if We get too much of it. We
can be so fed up on the things of
the soul as well as the body, that we
have no further appetite for them.
Feed me on apples, stay me with
flagons, for I am sick of love, cried
Solomon, who had several hundred af-
fectionate wives, and so cries many a
man and woman of today who have
the misfortune to be united to overly
affectionate spouses.
There can never be too much of the
love that expresses itself in tender
ness and forbearance, and cherish
ing the welfare and happiness of the
beloved one, but a very little of the
love that demonstrates its existence in
petting and love talk &c long way.
This is especially true in the marital
relationship, and many wife kills her
husbands love for her by boring himt
to death. She makes a ritual of the
daily kiss, and it gets to be as much
of a distastefuI burden as any other
chore you have to do twice every day.
of your life. She wants TO know, in
season and out of season, If he loves
her, and he gets so weary of the guess
ton ITO which he knows that she
knows he is bound to give the sand
answer that it gets on his nerves, and
he feels like telling her that nobody
loves a fool.
She calls him up in business hours
just to hear the sound OF his voice;
insists on going with him everywhere
she possibly can; she won't let him
read the paper at home because she
wants to talk to him; she smothers
him in love and caresses until he feels
as if he were drowning in vat of mo-
lasses.
And he gets as tired of her as he
would of chocolate creams if he had
to live on them.
Put this into your cigaret, sister,
and smoke it. II you want your hus-
band to relish your angels food, meas
ure out your sugar carefully. Don't
make it too sweet.

THE RICHES OF THE PAST.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

THE RICHES OF THE PAST.
These are the things youu laugh at by
The little cares and worries of the day,
The time the baby wandered far away
And you were sure she'd walked away to
die:
You'll tell It over many a happy night,
Describing the excitement and the fright.
when I was younger you Will proudly
Il didn't have dollar to my name!
Into this town in ragged clothes L came.
As green as is the grass, TO fight my way"
And proudly you'll describe to all you
meet
Even the patch upon your trousers seat.
The mast is rich with humor and delight,
1t is a mine of hardships glorified,
OF many a weary day and troubled night
Which chuekling Age recalls with honest
Tho it seemed cruel as its price you paid,
You'll tell with joy the first mistake you
made
These are things you'll laugh at by and
The burdens and the terrors of today,
For hand in hand goes laughter with the
And mirth remains when trouble flies
Cares but trouser patch at which weu
smile
And proudly boast Of in a little while

The defeat of Judge A ]. Curran in
Crawford county at the recent election
affords little encouragement to the
bench to do dts duty. Also, it gives
strength to the contention that Judges
should be appointed so that their
tenure of office would not be subject
20 the popular will. The people have
the right to make the laws but when
these laws once have been made their
administration should be untrammeled
by popular approval or condemnation.
Judge Curra1's defeat doubtless was
due to his enforcement OF the indus
trial court law. He was penalized by
the union coal miners for correctly in
terpreting a law, with the enactment
of which he had no morefto do than
the miners themselves. The defeat
sustained by the state OF Kansas was
much more serious than the defeat
sustained by Judge Curran-

him a great piece OF chocolate cake
He took the cake and like most small

WOMEN IN POLITICS.

Miss Alice Robertson, congresswo-
man OF Oklahoma, has placed herself
in tho class of poor losers. She re-
sents her defeat for reelection and
has declared her intention of shaking
the dust of Muskogee from her feet.
Miss Alice Paul, vice president of the
national woman's party. deplores the
fact that not a single woman was
elected to the Sixty-eighth congress.
She ascribes it to lack of solidarity
among women. In Europe, she says,
women gladly vote for candidates of
their own sex, and many women sit in
national assemblies In the United
States, apparently, women In the main
are indifferent to proper representa-
ton of their sex in lawmaking and
policy-shaping bodies. and therefore
Miss Paul thinks they may remain in
definitely a subject class"
Apparently men and women alike
refuse to vote for a woman merely
because she is a woman. When wo-
men were placed on a political equal
ity with men they lost all claim to
political preferment on account of
their sex. This seems TO be recog-
lied and accepted by women and men
alike
When women run for office they
promptly discover on the part of most
politicians and of many II not most
men voters n nearly complete lack of
that special consideration which is
commonly supposed and usually adj
mitted to be their due, merely because
they are women. Instead of deriving,
in this particular activity, an advan-
tage from their sex, they find it to a
considerable extent detriTnental. and
not in the way to which they always
have been accustomed, for It is not re-
lated to the possession of less physi-
cal strength than men
1t appears to have been established
that If women desire to serve their
in an official capacity
they must furnish evidence OF quail
fication for the place 10 which they
aspire and then take their chances
with the voters just as mere man al
ways has done. 1t cannot be said |
with any degree of certainty that those |
who fail of election are the victims of
prejudice.

Household Hints


Dry White Silk Gloves, Hose and
Waists in the Dark-Do not wash in
too warm water, and they will not
turn yellow.
To Prevent Cheese From Becom-
ing Dry and Mouldy-Wrap in cloth
dampened with vinegar, and keep in
a covered dish
Stained Sink Boards (Wooden)-If
sink board is badly stained, take a
half lemon and rub on stained board; ;
let stand half an hour then wash off
and board wiIl'be spotless.
To Remove Varnish or Paint From
Hands-Rub with kerosene, then
wash in warm soap suds.
A Leakless Bottle-When you must
carry a bottle in travelling it is wise
to melt paraffin and put it around the
cork to prevent leaking. The tallow
from a candle will serve the same pur-
pose. 1t is a good thing to pack bot
ties in the inside of shoes, as an added
protection.
