^B>m — a sad, dreamy-eyed, well-pre
^tved .ftronian of mature years, who
■d opened a millinery shop next door.
■The younger man had tried every
■eans to become acquainted, but be
hind a cool smile, nod, or passing
■eetlng, he had made absolutely no
■adway.
nSo the elder man took a hand in
Bis flippant pastime of capturing a
Btsslng fancy, and he tried the ro
■antlc, mysterious way, that his su-
Brior (?) wisdom mapped out.
■ A rosebud through her letter slot

mysterious source. He had the satis

f now that the woman had heard that
■bat was a habitual custom of his to
■ry to soften the heart of the fair sex
f ith the touching presentation of a
Bower, and she had no delusions as
'rom whence these sudden attentions
iroceeded.
So It was an inwardly-amused wom
iu who set the flowers where he could
fee, Sut no hint of her amusement
ooked from her sad eyes as they cas
inlly met in the hall. Her bow and
treating were, if anything, cooler.
Then one day a tall, blond man,
somewhat younger than the woman,
came along the hall. His step was
faltering and there was a strange,
groping movement in his hands, yet
he went straight to the door marked
’“Maison, Hatter,” where a cry of rap
ture greeted him. The door was
quickly closed and only a continuous
jpyous murmur could be heard.
The shop was closed for the remain
der of the day, and together they were
lost to sight.
Though silent, uncommunicative and
aloof in the time of trouble, hiding,
Spartan-like, her exquisite torture of
uncertainty through a most grilling
ordeal; in the glow of this most cer
tain joy the woman expanded and had
to give out of her happiness and re
lief from a corroding anxiety.
So the news spread like wildfire
through the building, for human na
ture, prone to gossip, is the same in
an office building as elsewhere.
“Yes, my baby brother; we are all

but they held out no certainty of
hope.
“Oh, yes, a remarkable cure.

him into deep waters of emotion, and
that his feeling now was akin to wor

Late in the afternoon next day
he called at 'the hatter’s and pleaded
his suit. She laughed at first. The
sad, dreamy eyes were sad no longer,
but dancing wells of joy. But as she
saw the man’s depth of emotion she
grew serious.

I am going to marry the psychologist

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
—o —
Now is the time for all con
servative men to organize and
unite their efforts to preserve
the world from radicalism and
extremes on wild courses of
men who aspire for office. A'
certain degree of politics is
wholesome for the country's
welfare, but when the time com
es that men and women bytheir
indifference to public questions
put in office candidates who
are incapable and. incompetent
to meet the duties of the offic
ial obligations we are on a
very destructive course which
finally will get such a hold that
it will be a great and difficult
task to free the State from
the hands of those who will
sink it into the depths of polit
ical mire. When the govern
ment gets into the hands of
demagogues and men who can
rot have the best interests of
the people at heart it m eans
a breaking down o f + he morale
of th people as a whole. It has
a bad influence and sets to
work a form of conspiracy and
rebellion to law and order. For
1 the State to reach the perfect
-1 ion that it should so as to in
. sure its citizens of peace, hap
! piness and prosperity it is nec
! essary for an enforcement of
, the law and an adjustment of
' the country’s financial wel
' fare. To accomplish results
as set out, offices must be flil
ed by those who are in every
, degree entirely competent and
they must have the support of
those whose shoulders rests
। the morals to give them power
to execute the law and render
faithful service. Good men add
I
strength and power to the
State and the neon’e a l ’ a
incompetent men drag it down
and weaken its influence. In
voting for a man for office we
should hold three things in
mind supreme to all others.
These qualities of the candidat
es should be ability to execute
the duties of the position, char
acter to hold fast to right and
vision that they may see the
best course to pursue. It is sad j
ly too frequent that men are
elected who'have neither. Let
all offices be filled by that type
and class of a candidate and it
means the same thing that it
would be if all the employees
of a bank did not possess those
' three qulaities of strength. Give
[ a banking institution men who
have ability, character and vis
! ion and the institution will
' grow and panics may come and
। business becomes depressed hut
: the bank will hold its own. But
place in that institution men of
the opposite type and the coun-
1 try may seethe in prosperity,
। but the bank will fail. So it is
with our country. It is every
1 man and woman’s sacred duty
I to vote with the same consci
-1 fence that a good person has
. when they take the oath on
the witness stand. A vote for
’ the very best man who aspires
for the office is a vote for your
country and a patriotic voote
whereas a vot.e for one whom
vou know entirely unfitted for
1 the position is a vote against
jvour country and is unpartmc-

There is nothing more appre
ciative in people than to seee
thm love their towns and com
munities, Judge a community
by its people. Judge a people
by their community. It is
our dytu to forget self. Yet it
is law of nature to look out
for self, to work for self, to
believe in self, but occasionally
we should forget self and throw
our energy and strength to our
churches, our schools, our pub
lic institutions and make n
them the very best. The best
place in the world to live is in
your home town or community.
If you see that it is impossible
to have law and order, that
schools will not be supported
and the church not t olerated,
then get out before your home
is burned down to ashes. But
as long as a majority of the
people will support the school
and back up the church it is a
good place to live in and just
as good as any man's section.
If the land is poor you can
build it up cheaper than moviv
away and buying another some
times. And if there is no cnar
acter there you cannot replace
it conveniently. But if your
church and school is supported
by amajority of the citizens o :
the community you 'have char
acter in the lead and there is
nothing the trouble with that
