THE ENGAGED GIRL.
Kllori Adair in tin* Philadelphia l#*dlfer.
When a man honors a Kiri by choos
ing her out. of the whole wifio world as
the one being with whom he desires to
spend the rest of his natural life and
when she accepts his proposal and be
comes engaged to him, there are cer
tain things which he has a right to ex
pect from tier.
They may not be many, they may
not be difficult of accomplishment, but
all the same if he haH any manliness in
him at all he ought to see that these
things he does get.
The first of these is courtesy. It is a
strange and rather dreadful thing that
many women imagine that to he rude
toward their fiances, to slight them
publicly and to make fun of them to
strangers are sure signs of feminine in
dependence and smartness.
1 have known girls who were really
crazy about their fiances, who thought
thul the universe circled around them
and whose whole hopes were centered
in them, treat them in a manner that
any living person would resent
thoroughly. In private these girls
showed the greatest affection and de
votion. They were model sweethearts,
k nd, loving, considerate, gentle. Hut
in public they were rude, sharp-ton
gued and thoroughly impertinent.
'•-She doesn't mean all she says,”
said un engaged man recently in speak
ing of the girl of his heart. “Her
bark is really worse than her bite, you
know. Mary is a nervous sort of a
girl and very sensitive. She is afraid
that people will see how much she
•really likes me. And ho she adopts
that sharp don't care attitude when
ever we go about together in public.
Yes, of course, I feel it. Any man
would. Hut I can’t get Mary to give
it up. She thinks it is the right atti
tude—to take before outsiders, ‘No
girl should wear her heart on her
sleeves, for all the world to see, she
said to me only yesterday. Mary has
the best heart in the world and I don’t]
like to hurt her feelings by pointing out
her rudeness to her. Yet all the same
I would give a good deal if she were a
little more considerate of me before
her friends. A man hates to look a
fool and that’s how I feel.”
The man who allows himself to be
treated in this way is laying up trou
bles for himself. For he can rest as
sured that if n woman is sharp-tongued
before marriage, even though the dis
play of sharpness is only in public, and
that privately she he all that is desired,
she will develop into a nagging, un
pleasant person who will render his life
thoroughly miserable.
For she has failed dreadfully in the
•courtesy and good feeling which are
essential to a love affair. She is un
worthy of a man’s love.
No engaged man should tolerate dis
courtesy on the part of his fiance. He
should come to un understanding with
her that any such display must cease
or as an alternative that the engage
ment must cease. She will soon muke
her choice.
The engaged man has a right to ex
pect u certain proportion of his
fiance’s time. While not giving up
her own friends and her own former
interests she should put. him first and
to a certain extent bend her wishes to
his.
The ease frequently arises where
both the man and the girl have been
thoroughly spoiled by fond parents and
families nil their lives and where neither
wishes to mold his or her ways to
those of the other. Things become
dreadfully complicated nnd quarrels
arise.
Now the very essence of a happy en
gagement is the spirit of "give and
take.” The man must sacrifice his
wishes sometimes to those of the girl—
and the girl must he prepared to do
likewise.
"Won’t vou let us prove to you by one
trial that’ there is no finish that will
give you a lasting satisfaction like
DAVIS' VARNISH STAIN
in point of luster, beauty, hardness
and. above all, wear? It is proclaimed
the best by all who have used it for
years.
ASK YOUR DEALER.
It is hard for a spoiled arid petted
I daughter to consult her fiance on
I matters in which she has formerly had
sole Hay. Rut he has a right to expect
that she will consult him und consult
him she sometimes must if she wishes
to keep his affection.
The engaged man has a right to ex
pect that th” girl who has promised to
marry him will discard all her former
love affairs and confine her affections
to him alone.
Strange as it may seem, hundreds of
girls fail in this. They may be ex
ceeding fond of their fiances, hut at
tne same ttme they find occasional
flirtations with other men both stimu
lating and entertaining and they are
loath to drop the old admirers out of
the running.
While there is no reason why the en
gaged girl should discard her male
friends and their society, there is every
reason why she Hhould discard those
of the number who seek to make
love to her. Her fiance has a right to
demand that she shall do this and if she
values his affection at all, the sooner
she complies with his wishes in the
matter the better for herself.
The Tyranny of the Present.
Youth'* Companion.
We are all creatures of moods. Even
the strongest have their moments of
unaccountable depression as of unac
countable gayety— moments when it
takes immense effort to perform the
ordinary actions of life, and an effort
still more immense to believe that they
are worth performing. Very strong,
healthy, well balanced men get the
grippe, and, like the child wh has
been denied a toy, see the world all
black and empty.
The present is enormous in its hold
on ua, and trival circumstances have
m/mentary but overwhelming signifi
cance. A full day, a heavy fog, a
close south wind—especially when we
wanted sunshine— seem to take the
sparkle even out of our thoughts, seem
to make what we hoped would be solid
pleasure "stale, fiat and unpalatable.”
No man was more constitutionally op
timistic than Emerson; few men were
less visited by the powers of melan
choly und darkness; yet even Emerson
could write of the "vast debility” that
some of us know bo well as shattering
and undermining all courage and all
hope.
A great help at such times is a wise
use of the imagination. Imagination is
a bad master, hut a significant servant.
Always to he dreaming of what we
might, do means little done; always to he
dreaming of things we might have done
breeds not satisfaction, but discontent.
Rut the other side of it is the constant
realization that things might be worse
than they are, that they have been bet
ter, and will lie better again. Imagin
ation is tile surest and best protector
against the tyranny of the present.
When everything goes wrong and
you feel discouraged, or in the still
worse moods when nothing has really
gone wrong, and you know it, and yet
the tears come, and you have no hope
and no vigor and no energy, try to
make even a little use of that faithful
helper, imagination. Remember that
you have felt so before and have
ceased to feel so, have even looked
hack witli gay contempt on such un
warranted misery. With the imagina
tion of" pleasant things and sure de
lights to come as a guide and comforter
slip away from the clutch of the tyran
nous present. Like many other mon
sters, it is more easily tricked and
dodged than openly combatted.
The New French Spirit.
Cleveland Plain Denier.
The French of to-day are the most
serious people of Europe. The tradi
tional effervescence of the Gallic
character has vanished. Every French
man lias come to look upon the work of
France as his own work; and he knows
that France is fighting for her life.
There is an utter absence of bombast
or bluster. The French statesmen, the
French military commanders and the
French soldiers are refraining from all
braggart expressions of confidence. A
nation which has always appeared to
outsiders as partially intoxicated has
become suddenly the soberest of States.
Gravity, even solmenity, marks the
mien of the Frenchman of to-day. If
he talks of the war he talks calmly.
There is no rancor and no menace in
his attitude toward his enemy. He
sings no songs of hate. He makes no
threat of what he will do if he wins,
nor does he bemoan the fate he will
suffer if he loses.
It is possible that the change which has
come over the French people will have
some permanent effect on the French
character. For one thing, the nation
will probably never go hack to absinthe.
A great ordeal in a nation’s life may
well leave a lasting influence, as a simi
lar experience would change the char
acter of an individual.
Diarrhoea Quickly Cured.
"About two years ago 1 had a severe
attack of diarrhoea which lasted for
over a week,” writes W. C. Jones,
Buford, N. D. "I became so weak
that 1 could not stand upright. A
druggist recommended Chamberlain's
Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
The first dose relieved me and within
two days 1 was as well as ever.” Ob
tainable everywhere.
Some people are vain because of their
imperfections.
Legend of the Cherokee Rose.
Atlanta Georgian.
State-wide interest is centered on the
Cherokee rose, since the City Federa
tion indorsed trial flower for 'he State
llowe’. And it will he of interest to the
club women who hav<- indorsed the flow
er to know a romantic story concerning
the Cherokee rose, along with the leg
end of the flower. The first story of
the Cherokee rose was printed by a
well known Atlanta club woman in a
volume >'f verses called ‘Th j L?gemi
of the Cnerokee Rose,” in 1^87-
The w riter was about to oe widowed.
She had obligations to meet, and no one
to meet them with her or for her. in a
moment of desperation 9he turned to a
poor little talent she had —a talent all
uncultivated, as is the wild rose that
made the theme of her verses—and af
ter hard work to find a publisher, and
harder work to raise the money to pay
the initial fee for getting the book on
the press, she set out her little signal
of distress, in as huppy vein and as at
tractive manner as the time suggested.
The book was released from the press
the day the handsome young husband
died. The legend is a pretty one, and
the flower is one of the loveliest of all
the gifts of the field and forest. Orig
inally the Cherokee rose was unknown
to other States than Georgia. That was
when the Cherokee Indians roamed the
forests and mountains of Georgia.
Growing over the wigwam of a Chero
kee chief before the white man took up
a residence in the State wts a rose
vine, all blossomy and fragrant, and it
was from that vine in North Georgia
that the daughter of the chief broke a
twig and carried it with her to Florida
when she left her tri ie for love of a
Seminole brave. There, in the Land of
Flowers, she planted her rose vine and
it grew. Beneaths it snowy blossoms
she lived and died with her Seminole
lover.
It is therefore appropriate that this
flwoer be made the State flower, and
the Legislature will be asked to make
it so.

The Negro Problem.
It has remained for a publication is
sued on the other side of the imiginary
line dividing the North from the South
to deliver one of the best arguments
against Northern people attempting to
solve the negro problem in the South.
This publication is Yankee Doodle, pub
lished in Michigan City, Indiana, and
the writer of the article referred to
appears to have a very clear concep
tion of the situation that obtains in the
Southern States. Here is what he
says:
"Don’t try to solve the Southern ne
gro problem you men of the North. It
is already solved, and the negro is in
better snape, morally, physically and
financially, down below the Mason and
Dixon line than he is in the North.
We took the ‘salvation of the negro’
upon us, only to find we don’t know
him. It isn’t a matter of prejudice on
the part of the Northern people. It
is just plain ignorance of what is re
quired in a task that was entirely self-
imposed. As a rule, the poorest of
all American negioes are found in the
North. They are generally exiles from
the sunny land of kindliness and under
standing. They have generally' come
North because they were intolerable in
the South. The South does much to give
the negro a show. The Southern peo
ple are kind to the negro, for they under
stand them. The negro keeps his place.
He is never offensive, andhe is a loyal,
kindly, affectionate individual, who is
always respectful. Within a decade
there will be race riots in most of the
cities of the North. For a great truth
is coming home to the unthinking.”
It's difficult to convince a woman
that gambling is wrong if her hustiand
keeps ahead of the game.
Boost Your Neighbors.
The Progreaivo Farmer.
H'-re is a little rule which will help
you and help your neighbors; In speak
ing about your neighbors t ut the good
word last. Don’t say "Neighbor Jones
is public-spirited, I'll admit, hut he is
mighty high tempered." Say "Neigh
bor Jones is high tempered, of conrse,
but he is a man who is helping ihe
neighborhood forward." Don’t say,
"Tom Brown is a hard-working fellow’
and good-hearted, I reckon, but he has
been mighty low down, wild and drink
ing. Instead, say, "Tom Brown got
pretty low once, wild and drinking, hut
now he's a hardworking, good-hearted
citizen." In other words, wind up with
the emphasis on the good trait rather
than the had one.
Or better still, when you hear some
body’s name mentioned and it's on the
tip of your tongue to refer to some
blunder or failing you know about, just
try choking it down a few times, leav
ing it unsaid, and see if you don’t feel
better inside. The next time go a little
further and try speaking of some good
deed he has done instead of mentioning
the time he made a mistake (even
though you yourself have never made
any mistakes), and see if you won’t
feel happier still.
If the farmers in any neighborhood
will begin to boost one another’s good
deeds, they will soon find themselves in
a better neighborhood than ever before
—and the fine part about it ra that by
adapting this method, they will find
themselves living in a better neighbor
hood without having to move from
where they are!
Sell Some Land to Good, Wbite
Neighbors.
The Progressive Farmer.
All over the South there are thou
sands of men who are keeping them
selves and their families in virtual want
holding onto more land than they need
or can profitably manage. Moreover,
by trying to keep to themselves land
enough for three or four thrifty fami
lies—or maybe very much more than
this —these men are depriving them
selves and their loved ones of needed
fellowship and comradeship. We mean
by this that they are keeping the
neighborhood so sparsely settled that
there cannot be the friendship, fellow
ship and happy social life there ought
to be, nor can churches, schools, libra
ries, clubs, co-operative societies, etc.,
at anything like more than a half-dye
ing rate.
Think about it and see if it wouldn’t be
a good idea if half the farmers in your
neighborhood would cut their farms in
two, sell the other half of the acreage
to thrifty white farmers, and then all
join together to have the most progres
sive neighborhood possible. Many a
present land owner would not only get
more happiness out of life than ever
before, hut under the changed condi
tions would find the remaining half of
his real estate worth as much as the
whole acreage will ever be worth in a
backward, sparsely settled community.
Traveling Man’s Experience.
In summer of 1888 I had a very severe
attack of cholera morbus. Two physi
cians worked over me from four a. m.
to fi p. m. without giving me any re
lief and then told me they did not ex
pect me to live; thatx I had best tele
graph for my family. Instead of doing
so, I gave the hotel porter fifty cents
and told him to buy me a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy, and take no substitute.
I took a double dose according to di
rections and went to sleep after the
second dose. At five o’clock the next
morning I was called by my order and
took a train for my next stopping point,
a well man but feeling rather shaky
from the severity of the attack,”
writes H. W. Ireland, Louisville, Ky.

After Four Years of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.—In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: "I suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would have set ere pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After ]
that, nothing seemed to do me any good. |
1 had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, 1 could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.
