Male IncOnSt0ncU

Philosophers and poets have
unused on the Inconsistency of wo-
man, but very little on the incon-
stancy of man. Tradition pictures
man as a great positive creature
selecting goal and going straight
for it; of knowing exactly what
he wants and getting it.
How different is this from the
man that every wife knows! Try
as she may to do the thing that
pleases him she will find herself
going continually wrong. His only
consistency as she sees it, is his in
cOnstancy.
Does a husband complain that
he is dragged away from the quiet
and comfort of his fireside too
much at night? Let his wife ar
range to go out without him and
he will feel hurt and insist upon
tagging along.
Every husband tells his wife
that certain of her kitchen prepa-
rations he has no taste for The
same detested dishes served away
from home he will eat with relish
and embarrass his good wife by
demanding in company to know
why she never cooks such delica-
cies. Moreover, the appetites and
tastes of the inconstant male are
as variable as the color of femin-
inc hosiery.
Let men speak wisely of the
business barometer and underlying
causes, and trends and tendencies.
Wives know that these are just
the result of the nominations OF
husbands who haven't the faintest

Vision of Spring

Just when the mercury in north
ern ATTITUDES, curls up in it's shell
at the bottom of the tube, scarce
ly lifting a timid head above the
SILVER bulb, the seed merchants
send out their gorgeous announce
ments, promising spring and sum-
mer. In yellow, red and purple,
We are told what awaits us if we
are patient and lay our plans we'll.
These gentry live in that ideal
country where frost never comes,
and plants that know no enemies
bloom i'll January, producing per-
feet flowers on which the worm
has not fed, which meldew has not
corrupted, untouched by blight.
In the dead of winter they present
us with these visions, and inform
us that for small sums and with
very little care on our part, we
can ourselves possess these Won
derS of nature and art. And we
like to believe it. though in past
springs and summers, due to too
much heat, moisture or fertilizer,
we have missed the ideal crop
which the catalOg displays.
Be ye blessed, seed merchants
who have made the lowly zinnia
blossom like the chrysanthemum
magnified the moder sweet pea to
giant size redoubled the nastur-
tium and given it a pleasant odor;
who, as we watch the coal pile
dwindle and the ash pile grow,
send us these harbingers of a sea-
son when even the lightest under
wear is a torment. Yes, we shall
try again to make our gardens like
unto the covers of your booklets.
Hope springs eternal, and in these
dead days We have given ours a
wondrous fhillip.

PEOPLE OF COUNTY
ARE CONGRATULATED
Fatality List Past Year
Reduced a Total OF
Forty Per Cent.

Congratulations to Washington
COuntians for their fine work in
cooperation with Governor O'Con-
or and his Maryland Safety Traf-
fic Committee were extended from
the executive offices in Annapolis.
A total of 422 traffic deaths in
1889 is direct challenge to the
State" said Governor O'Conor:
however, the one bright spot in
the years showing, according to
the governor. is the fact that dur
ing the months of October, Novem.
Der and December, during which
the Maryland Traffic Safety Com
mittee operated, there was a total
OF three less deaths than in the
corresponding month of 1888.
The governor said that the peo-
pie of Washington county had
every reason to be proud of their
record with fatality list cut in
the past year 40 per cent. Wash
ington County had a record of 25
fatalities in 1888 and in 1899 this
was cut to Is.

MY OWN DAD

No pillar of marble or huge gran
ite stone,
Or statue of glistening bronze,
May hold in remembrance name
unknown
Till the morn of Eternity dawns
No poets may celebrate deeds
which he did
In writings devoted to him;
His work through the ages may
ever be hid,
And the day of his fame may be
dim.
But in one great Book on a prom
inent page
That none save the Lord may be-
hold.
His name shall be written with
saint and with sage
In letters of glittering gold.
The mirror of Heaven shall carry
it thence
Till it shine on the world again;
His name shall be known in the
centuries hence,
And he shall be great among
In the depth Of my heart is an en-
lnent space
Which none other has ever yet
had;
And | shall forever reserve all that
place
For one dear to my soul - my
Dad

'BOYCE RESIGNS
AS TREASURER
Young Mems Republican
Club Facing Widespread
DissensiOn

Harold v. Boyce has resigned as
treasurer Of the Young Mems Re
publican club, causing further dis
sension in an organization already
split over the fight for the senatorial
nomination in the 18th district.
II was just generally disguised
with the way things were being
handled" Mr.. Boyce said today Of
his resignation as an officer of the
club. "It wasn't any sudden deci-
sion; other members and I have
been leaning that way for more
than two years."
The club membership is split on
the 18th senatorial district contest.
One group wants to endorse Harold
B. Post, former president, for the
nomination, but this move is strong
ly opposed by members backing an
other senatorial candidate, Louis
Ciraldi, who is the clubs first vice
president.
Only few months ago the club
was badly split when John McHugh,
chairman of the executive board,
declared himself in favor of the re-
election of Congressman j. Joseph
Smith. The controlling faction
forced the ousting of Mr.. McHugh
as an officer and member, despite
protests by his friends. Mr.. McHugh
has been outspoken in criticism of
the local Republican leadership for
the past several years.
Mr.. Boyce, active in the club for
several years, was one of the Or
ganization's most influential men,
