“Don't cry, Anne, darling; ho Isn’t
worth It. You were too kind and
(eneroBB to him.”
Thus did s mother endeavor to
wotho her daughter, who had Just
>een “thrown over” by the man on
whom she had spent the greater part
>f her earnings during ten of the four
teen months they bsd been engaged.
The circumstances which led up to
Mr giving him money were oxeep-
:ional, but Anne 1« by no means the
mly overloving girl who has foolishly
thought she could buy a genuine lover,
i contributor to an eastern periodical
writes.
When the gentleman in question
Irst asked the girl to be his wife, he
thought she was a dear little girl, who
•ould earn a little, and, as he had a
•oft Job himself, the picture of a home
•nd wife seemed very alluring. But,
vy carelessness, he lost hi« position.
After a week or two of doing nothing,
be hinted that it was not fair to hold
bet to the engagement.
If she had fallen in with his »ug
{ration and taken her freedom. In all
probability he would soon have got
some fresh work rather than lose her.
But the poor, too-loving girl gener-
ausly agreed to keep him In necessi
ties till he got a place.
The average man might have be
stirred himself to repay thia kindness,
out even the decent natured men are
•pt to value at nothing that which
they get for nothing. The girl who
gives freely of her affection, and
throw« In money with the bargain, fa
usually regarded as nothing.
Not only so, but In supplying a
man with money a girt robs him of
the beat ¡»art of his manhood, and very
often he turns against her Just be
cause she has so robbed him.
There are, of course, some circum
stances in which a girl may wisely
offer a little monetary assistance to
her sweetheart, but even then, In
stead of buying an extra supply of
affection from him, she Is running the
risk of being forced to receive imi
tation love Instead of tha genuine
article.
Take the true case of a young girl
who was not particularly pretty or
attractive, but always had plenty of
men to take her out. Yet never once
did she become engaged. Her friends
could not understand why. until ft
came out that she had always paid
for her share of the outing, and kept
the varloua young fellows supplied
with cigarettes, ties, socks and other
things dear to the heart of men.
She was trying to buy a lover, but
in reality was only paying heavy In
stallments on a broken heart.
Real men don’t use the frail shoul
ders of a woman In order to climb
life's ladder of success, They glory-
In feeling that they have done It all
themselves. Even the worst of men
will shrink when a girl first offers
them money, but the taking of it Is.
unfortunately, a habit that Is soon
acquired and very hard to break.
How often- do we hear of lovers
swindling their girls out of quite large
sums of money and then leaving them
In the lurch? Do we not wonder how-
on earth a girl can be so foolish as
to lend her savings? One need not
wonder, once one knows the trick.
The man swindler who Is out to get
money generally has some in hand,
which he uses as a halt. He will take
a girl out; If he finds she has any
capital worth having, he begins to
splash his dollar or two about, and.
without actually saying so. gives the
Impression that he has plenty.
Then when she has grown fond of
him, and he Is sure of his power over
her, he tells some plausible tale—
either his firm has forgotten his quar
terly check, or the bank Is closed, or
perhaps he will say he has Just
bought a house. This last makes her
heart beat with hope.
“Oh. I can let you have some money.
Do let me lend you some,” says the
girl, thinking she will be endeared to
him by her generosity, and also glad
to help the man she loves.
Much depends on how much he
hopes to get eventually whether or
not he accepts her first offer, but he
generally accepts loans from her until
she has nothing left, and then he
leaves her.
So much for the rogue man.
Since the fellow who is really woytk
while Is also apt to become demoral
ised by being financed by his sweet
heart, the very crueleat thing she can
do Is either to offer money or encour
age him to ask for It. The three
things we cannot buy are health, hap
piness and love.

To be out of door« 1« the normal
condition of the natural man. At
some period of our ancestral life, so
dim in our thought but so po
tential In our temper, disposition
and physique, we have all lived, ho to
speak, In the open air; and although
city-born and city-bred we turn to the
country with an Instinctive feeling
thst we belong there. There are a
few cockneys to whom the sound of
Bow Bells is sweeter than the note of
the bluebird, the resonant clarion of
chanticleer or the far-off bleating of
sheep; but to the Immense majority
of men these noises are like sounds
that were familiar In childhood. I
have Hometimes thought that the deep
est charm of the country lies In the '
fact that it was the home and play
ground of the childhood of the race, :
and, however long some of us have -
been departed from it, It stirs within
us rare memories and associations ।
which are Imperishable. The lowing
of the rattle coming home at night
fall ; the bleating of sheep on the hill
side pastures; the crowing of the cock,
are older than any human speech
which now exists. They were ancient
sounds before our oldest histories were
written. I know of nothing sweeter
to the man who comes out of the heat
•nd noise and dust of the city in mid
summer.—H. W. Mable.

his process was bought by Judge Gary
for 11,000.000 in cash plus 2 cents per

Intimates that the press might vary its
menu by creating unbreakable glass
