THE MAN W0M4N HUNTS.
A Cherished but False Illu
sion as to Which One
Is the Seeker.
(Nixola (ireely Smiili in N. V. World.)
Ouo of the most false and, pos-
j siblv, for that reason the most
I cherished, illusions of man is the
j idea that he chooses his own wife,
I when, as a matter of fact, he mere
j ly succumbs to a young person
| that has marked him for her own
| as inevitably as smallpox or the
| blaekjhand.
The much-quoted statement that
I any woman can marry any man
I she wants to, like most other glit—
; terings generalities, lacks con-
! formation in fact. But it would
| be very much truer if the fair par
ticipants in the man hunt would
i devote their attention to a parties
! u.!ar man instead of wasting time
j in a scattering fire. Very often
they undertake too much, and in
! trying to bring Tom and Dick and
j Harry to the proposal point at
! once fall with all three. Tho
j same amount of attention given to
! Oiie of the trio would have con
vinced him that the dearest wo
man in the world might, with a
great deal of persuason, consent
! to marry him and make him the
; most blessed amongjhis kind.
1 How this wonderful result is
brought about only the girl knows
' —though very often she doesn't
; know, but is, like the selected hus
band, just an obedient pawn in
j the hands'of her wise and elderly
: female relatives. For a homely
I girl with an experienced mother
f has just about forty times as great
! a chance to capture a man as a
pretty girl without one. For the
j pretty orphan is frequently mgen-
j uons enough to think Uthat the
j feminine role in courtship consist

would only endow a school of
courtship for women and employ
the widows to give object lessons
in subtle love-making to tho in

However, to give reality to tlie
lessons, men would probably have
to take the passive part in them,
which fate assigns the prospective
husbands in real life. And in this
event the widows would probably

A Manly Man.
Wants Strictly Democratic
Primaries,
The Blue Ridge World in dis
cussing politics speaks our senti
ments exactly in a recent issue.
It, says: The past election and
the primary on April 20th have
taught t he democrats of the Oth
district a few lessons that they
should profit by in the elections
to come. Tho practice of letting
mon who have been republicans
and populists vote in a democrat
ic primary just because there is
not a probability of there being a
candidate in the general election
of their particular type of politics,
has shown to be unwise and ini- j
practicable as to the end of finally I
getting them to join the ranks of j
the democratic party. For in- j
stance in the primary on April
20th in the races for the nomina
tion for Judge of the superior }
court and Congressman, there
were scores and even hundreds of
men all over the entire country
who by taking a part in tlie jiri-
mary silently and others who were
challenged openly avowed tho ,
cause of democracy and were
sworn to allign themselves with
tho party, and then when the op- j
portunity presented itself they ,
voted square the other way.
One among these and the most j
notorious that has come to our !
knowledge is that of Hon. J. P. I
Brooke, of Alpharetta, Ga., Mil-
ton county. He took a great stand j
for Mr. Bell in tho primary, and !
is probably one great factor that 1
carried that county for him and j
was a delegate in the convention!
that nominated him at Gainesville •
on the first of June. Yet he was J
tho foremost man in the entire I
district to favor fusion of the old
populists (he having belonged to
them and represented his district
in the state senato as one) with
the republicans for Ashley and
tried to beat tho man whom he
had five months before helped to
nominate. And what is true of
him is true of hundreds of other
lesser lights that ha ve done the
same thing in their less influentiil
way.
The democrats should guard
against such conduct and whero
the managers hereafter know that
a fellow has violated his either
tacit or avowel obligation to allign
himself with the party they should
put him out of the primaries and
let him know that a fellow should
be a 4 democrat every day m tho
week and every week in the year.
