You can take a good deal of blame without being hurt. Some women are gay deceivers and some are not so gay. In taking an ocean trip some people can't even keep down their expenses. Some people love to such an extent that they would be willing to fight for it. To read the price tags on Life’s Goods is some art. It requires a woman of foresight, not hindsight. But the wise woman is the one who does not make the same mistake twice —at least in the same year. If he provides an engagement ring, the ’girl never doubts that he can supply such other luxuries as she may desire. The propensity of neighbors for keeping a close watch over us keeps us from doing lots of things that we would like to do. Several of the large trees that sur 1 round the Christian church plot are■ being cut down. The dense foliage made the place too shady and a thin ning out was deemed best. Any fool can fall in love in the moonlight. Any goose can be senti mental in a rose gardeh. It takes a real man to be true in real life. It takes a real woman to be faithful unto death in the real world. —Winifred Black.

It isn t always safe for a girl to as sume that she is going to have plentj of money to spend after marriage just because her beau is liberal wit! it while he is courting her. Janies Wolford of Boise, Idaho, let yesterday for a trip east. He will visi with his brother. John Wolford, a Monmouth and with other relatives a \ an \\ ert, Ohio., where he was rear ed. This is his first visit here i’ ■ twenty-five years. Cher up. newsboys, H. K.

Ih hardest thing about'Christinus Is huntin’ somethin’ t’ give t’ somebuddy you're afrajd is goln t’ give somethin' to’ you. You kin git a purty fair idea o’ how long some fellers have been in society by ther dress suits.— Abe Martin. - 1 (loosing Mart Ankenbruck as his undertaker, naming his own pall bearers, directing that the Order of Eagles be in charge of the services, ordering three of his favorite records to be played on the Vistrola, and making it a condition that he be cremated, A. B. (Bus) Jackson had his funeral arranged to the last detail years before he died. The services were carried out as he had planned yesterday afternoon and the body was cremated at 10 o'clock Monday morning.—Fort Wayne News. Mrs. Elizabeth Storey, living nine niles west of Carmi, 111., was 102 ears old Sunday. Many relatives uid friends braved a snow storm to to to her home in honor of the anniversary. She was the recipient of mmerous presents. Mrs. Storey says the believes her long life is due to -Sting simple foods and dressing ilainly. She has never worn a cor’d or meddled in politics such as wo nan suffrage. She is the mother of hirteen children and says she believes he young wives of today spend too ’meh time in society to take proper merest in rearing children. That man is an easy mark where women are concerned is manifest in he confession to the police of one of the magazine agent women who struck this town last week. Going nto a pool room in Decatur, says the Huntington. dispatch, the woman played several games of pool, and then in 1 flirtatious manner, secured a subscription for the three unknown magazines for 49 cents, from nearly everyman in the pool room. The two women who accompanied the x men agents, were supposed also to arrange dates" with men in order to get their subscriptions. They,were ordered out of Huntington. Now where are those folks who .gingerly rubbed their noses and ears town town Monday morning and earnestly opined that the mercury had hit bottom. Why, it wasn't cold at all! Os course some progressive •hermometers might have exaggerated somewhat, and even a few standpat devices which stood in chilly places might have fibbed a little. But officially—and after all—you’re only as cold as the government says—the temperature reached its lowest point tietween 5 and 6a. m Then it was 2 degrees below zero. Weatherman Armstrong at Salamonia bundled up Monday morning and braved the icy breezes long enough to see what Uncle Sam’s mercury said —so possf !y winter is still delaying a while! Every sixteen minutes some man working in the industries of this country is killed—3s,ooo a year. Every sixteen seconds some one is injured. Over 2.000,000 a year pay the price of thoughtlessness. Every three years in this country more men ■ire killed in the industries of this country by accidents than on the Union side in the entire civil war. And 82 per cent of all the accidents were caused by the failure of <»ie human tlement—that is, the could have been prevented if on»v men were taught to think. These are just a few of the interesting facts and figures gleaned from the investigation of Marcus A Doyle, general safety agent of the New YorkaCentral lines, who is delivering illustrated lectures on “safety.” In the January Woman’s Home Companion appears a deartment called "The Exchange”—a department to which readers contribute helpful ideas which they have worked out from . their own practical experience. Following is a suggestion made by a Wis- ■ consin woman: “The cuffs of my ; husband’s shirts break and get ragged while the remainder of the garment is still in perfect condition. I have tried many ways of mending them and finally have found an easy and satisfactory one. As the shirts ■ are usually white with a .colored stripe a strip of stout white material about an inch wide will mend them. (If shirt is colored and you have no pieces to match cut a strip off either side of the tail of shirt.) Trim off ragged edge of the cuff and stitch on strip (right sides together) just below a stripe if possible. Pull tight over edge of cuff, turn under and stitch on wrong side." I
