First Love Unhurt

A second love has a place of its
own which does not change The
value of the first. To attempt to
buy a woman's faithfulnesS to yes
terday by depriving her of today
and tomorrow is a cowardly act.
For mark you, gentlemen or 9TH
erwise, who carry checkbooks in
stead of coin purSesl If a woman
loves a man. you can't put that af-
lection on the gold standard. And
q mans far-sighted attempt will
merely result in a bungling as tragic
as human interference in anything
generally is.
A woman who isn't strong. want
ing her last loves money and her
new loves devotion, will take both.
Her husbands money. instead of
protecting her, will remove her
from the accepted list Of good
women, on occasions.
There is another type of woman
who will cancel al checks against
the past, and go without wealth, to
her second love. If he is poor, and
she suffers-well the man who
played god warned her!
In fact, it's a selfish, phoney love,
more concerned with its own i'm
portance than the happiness of the
loved one, that tries to restrict a
heart. A man and woman who have
loved. laughed, wept and worked
together. know that the heart may
be open for a second time without
spelling the remembered beauty Of
that first spring.
The king is dead. Long live the
king!" the peasants cry as one mon
arch is buried and another takes
the sceptre. So it is with love. There
is no dishonor to the past in &C
cepting happiness from the future.

Few Women

Down SO, 900 Heritage
Is Cited.
BY HELEN WELSHINIER

WIDows. may all men know o'',,
husbands Having loved and lost,
through death or otherwise. there
are those who can't be paid 70 give
promissory notes. Il they really
love, that's a different matter. If
they don't-well. even a music box
will help TO pass the time. Solitude
and loneliness are two separate
things. And some people like the
first one.
Mrs. Josephine Patton. who has
had eleven years in which TO wed,
IN order TO inherit $4,000 left her
by. a childhood sweetheart whom
she rejected. has done nothing
about it. She refused 70 marry
merely to claim the money. But
men, many Of whom smell money
as a mouse sells cheese, have not
thought it possible that a woman
could let fortune go when few
words before minister would make
II hers. They have besieged Mrs.
Patton until she has had to close
her beauty shop.
Solitude Preferred
More power to herl Every man
who thinks that a widow wants
nothing so much as another man
about the house. should sit down
and reconstruct his viewpoint.
Honestly. the opinions Of women
which some of the questing sex
hold are Slightly stupid. They be-
heves that affection follows the dol
lar sign and act accordingly.
One of the latest masculine ges-
lures is the futurity mortgage
which fond husbands are attempt
ing to place on the hearts Of their
wives. Attorneys are lamenting the
increasing number Of men who are
trying to keep line on their Wild
ows by leaving fortunes on the
stipulation that when a woman re-
marries, her income ceases.
When a man is dead, he is dead.
Or should be. There is no sense in
keeping even a favorite ghost in the
closet. He has shed his tears. had
his fun. done his work. The books
closed. Why should he care what
happens or why2 1t can't affect
him. And anyway. the fact that he
wants the white rose on his grave
TO be the only flower in his wife's
life. doesn't mean that there may
not be a next springs planting.
A man who believes he must safe
guard his wife's affection for him
by shutting her away from the per-
fectly human need and urge to
marry again. providing she wants to,
of course. doesn't put a high value
on the love she bears for him.
Otherwise he wouldn't need to pay
for protection.

sPEcULATING ON DEATH

On May 81 The Citizen carried a
story to the effect that Lloyds of London
were doing big business in insurance
covering the risk of anything happening to
President Roosevelt, and the article stated
that there were three forms of premiums:
Five percent against the death by as
sassination or accident.
Seven and half percent against
death by ordinary causes.
Twelve and three-fifths percent
against the president being totally IN
capacitated
Lloyds agent in New York stated, how
ever, that no similar policies were being
taken out in the United States.
Further dispatches from London in
form that Lloyds no longer write insurance
based on the actual possibilities of the
death or assassination of President Roose-
welt. 1t is stated the practice was discon-
tinued at the direct request of the British
foreign office.
Several weeks ago some one with a
mania for speculation obtained insurance
on the life of the President.
Since Lnen Lnefe nave been numerous
demands for policies covering the possi-
bility that President Roosevelt within
one to two-year period may cease to- be
head Of the United States government.
Business men who believed trade to Be de-
pendent on the health, and strength Of, the
President. sought the policies III
The practice of this sort of insurance
was also viewed with grave concern at
Washington and Ambassador Bingham
was instructed to make representations to
the British government.
While death must come to all men,
high and low, it is not pleasant thought
to speculate on the time when this supreme
moment will take place, and the protests
to Lloyds made by both the Amer
lean and British governments will meet
with general approval.

HARRY HoUDINI

A recent article recOunts the feats of
the late Harry Houdini who was perhaps
the greatest magician of all time-a man
whose mysterious performances led many
to believe that he was endowed with super
natural power.
But Houdini himself made no such
claims. He declared that he performed
his astounding exhibition acts through
sheer physical dexterity acquired by years
of study and practice. His ability to es-
cape from wooden box, wrapped with
ropes and chains, in which he was bound
hand and foot and placed under water,
was remarkable example of his skill,
while he repeatedly demonstrated that he
could release himself from any kind of
handouts or shackles that might be placed
upon him.
One of Houdini's feats was to remain
in sealed coffin under water for an hour
and half, conserving the oxygen in the
small air space by taking short and in
frequent breaths.
Much attention was given by Houdini
to the exposure Of spiritualistic mediums.
all OF whom he denounced indiscriminately
as frauds. He made a standing offer of
$4,000 to any medium who could pro-
duce any phenomena which he could not
duplicate through natural agencies. The
reward was never claimed.
Houdini wrote several books on vari-
Gus phases of his art, but it is said that the
secrets of his most important and almost
Incredible performances died with him.
During his lifetime he thrilled mil
lions Of spectators throughout the world,
including many rulers and notables. but his
most lasting contribution to the advance
ment of civilization was his fearless and
uncompromising warfare upon charlatanry
in al its forms. and its attendant frauds
and superstitions.

ANENT THE HEN

Editor of the Cocoa Tribune gets off
this excellent bit of philosophy:
Hard times mean nothing to the hen.
She keeps on digging worms and laying
eggs. regardless of what the newspapers
say about conditions. If the ground is
hard she scratches harder. If il il dry she
digs deeper. But always she digs up
worms and turns them into hard-shelled
profits. as we'll as tender boilers.
Did you ever see q pessimistic hen2
Did you ever know of hen starving 10
death waiting for worms TO work them
selves up TO the surface9 Did You ever
hear one cackle because tines were hard?
Not on your life. The hen saves her breath
for digging and her caekle for eggs.
