j 1 i 1 you ever ponder over tin'
' probh'iii of why pretty g'r
j niMi iy plain men? A lady has
thought the matter jmt and
thinks tho tfirl w'10 selects a
plain or even nly mate is wise.
The wise girl, she usserts, is
perfectly aware that the lltfly
man will make a far hotter has
haml than 1 1 1 Adonis who is
adored liv every feminine he
holder of his charms. The iitf
lv man is so frequently accus
tomed to hcinj ignored or
Hlihted by tho empty-headed
but good-looking woman that
the sensible y irl who is able ti
see below the surface at once ,
finds a faithful admirer and !
grateful slave. ,
Compliments from the plain
men are of far more value than j
the easy llattery of the much-;
sought-after handsome mule, ;
who i h seldom s o sincere '
through reason of opportunity !
and adequate practice. And, ;
not being so ''run after," the!
man lacking in out ward charms
is less likely to cause his wife
jealous pangs or feelings of
loneliness at the sight of an :
empty chair and a torn dress :
tie. I
I'gly men who marry pretty
women are always far prouder :
j of their wives than the ronian-
tic Romeo of girlish dreams.
i Tin; former feel grateful to the
I beautiful wife, while the latter
' imagine that the debt of honor

condescended to wed. Ail wo

I The girl who marries an ugly .
j man can be cei'tain that her
j love is not a mere fancy id' the j
! moment rising out of her ad-1
miration for a well-cut nose:
' and chiseled mouth. The love ,
i a girl bestows on an ugly man 1
is deeper, more lasting, and
i more worthy of the name than
the quickly given and easily
spent affection of the woman
who ignores the faults of the
; handsome lover and considers
.only the shapeliness of his
hands, the color of his hair and
i the "lovely voice" as he war
; hies soul-stirring sentimental
compositions.
l'lain men generally marry
early in life, as soon as funds
will permit, while the good
looking males prefer to enjoy
the fun a little longer and to

THE FATAL GIFT OF BEAUTY.
1 loop, have been ambitious to succeed
VChere men have in the pjsi won all ':ucce:;r.e',;
1 vi:.h to earn the iioiui- lMiieni 1 need,
To pay my own cash for my hals and dresses;
I yearn to hold a place where all may see
, How well a pjrl can buckle down to duly,
lint nature has, alas ! conferred on me
The fatal gift of beauty.
Oh, for a chance to toil from morn till niht
Unnoticed, or where none mi!;li! praise or pet me !
How gladly 1 would crind with all my mipjii
For small pay, if men would only let me;
Bui always at my desk the fellows pause
And sigh as if they longed to win my pi I y ;
They will not let me do my work, because
I'm ravishingly pretty.
How happy 1 should be if 1 could lind
Some old man on his last legs to employ me -Some
gray-haired grandpa who was neatly blind, j
And who would never foolishly annoy me.
Whose wife would have no cause to claim a fear
Thai 1 might lure him from die path of dmy; j
Alas ! my hope is vain ! I'm such a dear !
And such a howling beauty. i
The ribbon counter is no place for me ;
()nce in a moment of despair I tried it;
Men filled the aisle and I was forced io llee,
Intending to disguise my face or hide it. j
There is no chance at all for me, unless
Mayhap one waits somewhere far from the city,
Where men have little taste for loveliness,
Or don't know what is pretty.
PRAYER OF A HORSE,
r
Every One Who Owns a Horse Should Give The
Following a Careful Perusal.
The departure of summer leaves
us sad, when we, look around us
and nonce the absence of all ihe
treasured plains thai brightened
our gardens and homes. "IMess
ings brighten as they take their
flight," and the quenching of so
much song, sunshine and sweet
ness, that we have enjoyed through
the Heeling months of summer,
naturally brings a feeling of de
pression. We visil the places once 1
tilled with summer splendor and
find no more the brightness thai
was wont to gladden us as we wan-.
dered by the silvery stream, be
neath the wide spreading boughs
of oaks that stretched their eme
rald arms to support the lender
clinging vines now brown and
seer. The air full of echoes of de
parted joy. Bui io some the cold,
fresh days bring a renewal ol health
and happiness,, while to others ai
sense of something gone from out 1
their lives. Though nests have
been rifled and we mourn over
empty shells so suggestive of joys
and hopes .that once were ours,
there nuisi remain in the heart an
assurance that the summer will
come again bringing with it all the
fresh gladness thai has left us, An,
no, not ended, we have extracted j
its, honey and distilled its dews.and
the song we fancy had come io an
end is laid away, to be put in tune
at a wanner brighter day. Nature
must change her melodies. She
sings in a major key for a time.
but the plaintive tones of the wind
as they rustle the dying leaves
bring if not a gladness, siill a
soothing feeling, like some noble
psalm that is more elevating than
die turbulent trill of the summer
warblers.

At the direction of Acting Police Commissioner Bugher. of New
York, who as first deputy commissioner has charge of ihe traffic squads,
there was posted in every stable where police horses are kept through
out the city a neatly printed card hearing a copy of "The Prayer of a
Morse."
The acting commissioner came across the prayer while he was in
Pittsburg recently, and it struck him so forcibly tli.it he arranged to
have it reproduced in large type for use in the police department.
The prayer reads :
"To thee, my master, I offer my prayer :
"Feed me, water and care for me, and when the day's work is done,
provide me with shelter, a clean, dry bed and a stall wide enough for
me to lie down in comfort. Talk to me. Your voice means as much to
me as the reins. Pet me sometimes, that 1 may serve you the more

as he charged Bingle $2 for pro

By associating with some old
people you may realize the truth
of the saying ; "The good die
young."
They talk about a woman's sphere
As though it had a limit;
There's not a place in earth or in
heaven,
There's not a task to mankind
given,
There's mil a blessing or a woe,
There's not a whispered yes or no
There's not a life, or death or
birth,
That has a feather's weight or
worth
Without a women in it.
Women of the world are usually
the queens of the home. '
Let this light 'reflect around this
revolving world; woman's real
w ork is on character, her surest
weapon is influence.
! livery wife should be the mis
, tress of her own home. 'But the
' grandmother and the mother-in-
! law should be the most welcome
! and the most respected of all visi
j tors.
! A little kindly courtesy goes a
good ways in a busy household,
and if in our home we use the
same politeness we offer our guests
we shall have no ill fining "com
pany manners."
The unmarried woman works
for necessity, lor love of her de
pendent ones, for loe of some
beautiful or benelicent profession,
for sweet mercy and chanty io the
ignorant, for hon or ol dependence
upon those on whom she has no :
claim - seldom for business, ambi- j
lion or material accumulation.
While a man admires womanly
beamy, yet in married hie he ad
mires much more a good square
meal Cooked by lu., l,viig rpoti.-.e,
and let a wife have hole or no
knowledge of the art of house
keeping, domestic economy, or is

ble.
Creation advanced from simple
to the more complex, from the low
to the high. Man is later and
higher than the fish of the sea, the
birds of the air and the beasts of
the Held, and woman is later and
higher than man last and highest
work of creative energy. In wo
man the dust of the earth reaches
its ultimate possibilities. It is sus
ceptible of no liner organization.
LOOK FOR THE SUNSHINE.
Behind The Clouds Ihe Sun Is
Always Shining.
1 low much ol sorrow this life
holds for even the brightest and
most favored of human kind; how
every cup has its dregs, and every
life iis shadows; how empty and
unsatisfactory are the highest goals
to which we may climb in the
world's opinion; bow the favors
for which we labor so bard, with a
single turn of fortune's w heel may
may be snatched from us. And we
thought; is Heaven a sufficient
recompense for all we miss? Will
the heart that finds no restful peace
in fame or honor, or even love
find a peace beneath the throne,
that will endure through an end
less eternity ?
We bad begun to doubt when
; quickly came the though;, "book
1 for the sunshine" and with the
thought, the stm burst through the
clouds, and shone through the win
dow upon the paper on which we
wrote. The glass paper weight
caught its rays and reflected them
in a halo of colors as fairly re
. splendent as a jeweled crown We
rested from our work and basked
in its light.
O Look for the sunshine and it will
come. The clouds arc transient
as things on earth; the sun is al
ways behind them and sometimes
when we least expect it the glori
ous light will shine through.

The late Bishop I late," said a
Sioux Falls physician, "used very
reasonably to impute skepticism to
misunderstanding.
"He once told me about a Phila
delphia business man of skeptical
tendencies w eo said to bun ;
"My dear Mr. flare, I do not
refuse to believe in the story of the
ark. 1 can accept the ark's enor
mous size, it's odd shape and the
vast number of animals it con
tained. But when 1 am asked, my
dear doctor, to believe that the
children of Israel carried this un
wie'ldly thing for 40 years in the
wilderness -well, there, I'm bound
to say tiiv faith breaks down."
