UNIX EKSITY SC HOOL FOR BOYS is a regular school where boys arc taught and not just
compelled to attend classes. A school fashioned after the old style system of tutoring where in
dividual instruction is given each student ; where the finer attributes of a gentleman, not taught
Dy books, are inculcated; where a sound, healthy body is developed coincident with a broad,
quick mind.
A school where boys are transformed into men equipped, mentally and physically to take up
Lae s duties or given a firm foundation on which to build their education in the higher institu
tion« of learning. This is done by limiting the students to VG; one instructor for every ten boys.
Mura than Tu’cnfy percent.of the student L»ody, each year, are brothers of former students,

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN * * By Beatrice Fairfax I
HAVE YOU NO FAITH? ,
Dear Miss Fairfax: ,
I have known a young man for .
the past ten months and I love him
dearly.
One night his friend escorted me
home and he told me his friend was
trying to keep me on the string. 1
told my friend about this and he
said it was a falsehood.
M. D. T. G.
It means just this, my dear: If you
entertain such a poor opinion of your
first friend's intentions that any one
can turn you against him. then your
heart is not badly involved.
If you love him. you believe in him.
It seems to me you certainly owe him
some faith.
REFUSE HIM. AND STICK TO IT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am eighteen and am corre
sponding with a man of thirty-two.
About two months ago he came to
see me, after not seeing me for two
or three years. He proposed to me
the first time and L refused. He
didn't take any heed, but came a
second time with an engagement
ring Since then he came many
times, bringing various gifts. Now.
I really don't know what to do. as
he does not pay any attention to
my refusals. He lives out of town
and earns a nice living My par
ents leave the matter in my hands
after giving him their consent to
marrv me. He is an uncle of mine

DON’T ACT IN HASTE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am in love with a young man
who is eight years my senior. Aft

four years I found him out walking
with anothe young lady whom I
very much dislike, as I have heard
several remarks about her charac

do you think it would be proper to
mention this matter to him or to
wait until he mentions it to me”

SHE IS A SENSIBLE GIRL,
Dear Miss Fairfax.
I am in loxe with a girl two years
my senior and have kept company
with her for the last year and a
half. i'p to the present time I
have found her to be a very good
friend, yet 1 suspect she does not
love me.
I have treated her as the best of
lovers treat their dear ones, yet I
do not see why tae love I have for
her is not reciprocated.
When leaving her after a night's
enjoyment, she has a very peculiar
way of bidding me.good-night. As
she has several other fellow ac
quaintances, I don't think they have
any serious intentions with her at
all. Evon at that. I -see her more
often than these other fellows. In
fact. I see her regularly two times
a week. E. ('. R
If she did not care for you she w ould
not give you so much of her time.
There is encouragement for you in that.
I am of the opinion that in refrain
ing from showing love for you she is
a particularly sensible young woman
It will be soon enqugh for her to show
her love when you have told her of
yours. Don't expect it a moment
sooner.

AN ARGUMENT THAT APPEALED.
Mrs. ltsander john ap-
PLETON, in her capacity os
First Standard Bearer for the
Equal Suffrage Party, never loses an
opportunity to make an appeal for the
cause of Equality and Justice.
She sprinkles argument with her sea
soning of meats and potatoes in her
kitchen; she serves arguments with
greetings in her parlor, and she psteses
them over the counter to the butcher
and the baker.
She has found recently to her dis
tress, that members of the Home Mis
sionary society of her church are very
lukewarm on the question of suffrage.
This great lack of progression has ap
pealed to her as strongly as the lack
of funds to keep the church going.
The ladies held a rummage sale, at
which they sold things they didn't
want to other sisters, who likewise
didn't want them; they gave dinners
and suppers and fairs and bazaars.

mood of despair that Mrs. Lysander
John saw an opening to make one more
argument in favor of equal suffrage.
"We would have an additional and
never-falling way to make nietwy," rfn»
said, at a meeting of the Finance Com- (
mittee. "if we had the Power of the
Ballot.”
The ladies, having heard so much of
the Power of the Ballot, looked bored.
“We had the right of suffrage in the
state I came from.” resumed Mrs. Ap
pleton, “and when occasion demanded
it, we registered, and then sold our
votes to the highest bidder. Ah, those
were palmy days!”
There was an Awful Silence. Then
a roar of protest. Would Sister Apple- »

women fight for the ballot that they
Sell Their Votes? Would she so far
forget the Sanctity of Womanhood as
to hint at such a vile proceeding? .
Would she demean Her Own Sex by
approving, nay. pointing the way. to

The roar grew in volume and strength
till Mrs. Appleton. freightened at the
storm she had evoked, slipped out a
