GIRLS CAW WIN HUSBANDS
BY PERSONAL MAGNETISM
Judgo Light Urges School Teachers
to Study tho Art nnd Select
Affinities.
SOUTH NORWALK, Conn., Juno
20. Judge John H. Light, member
of tho Board of School Visitors, in
an address before the Norwalk Town
Teachers' Association on "The Psy
chology of Teachers," urged the
young women to spend an hour of
study each day in tho development of
personal magnetism, the same as
they would tho study of any art.
Primarily this was for tho pur
pose of gaining the interest and the
attention and tho love of their pu
pils, ho said; secondly, it was not
only to obtain a husband, but that
the discipline might win a large num
ber of suitors from whom a girl
might select an afilnlty. Many girls
had but one chance, ho said, and ac
cepting tho ono they soon found they
made a mistake.
Judge Light said only one-fourth
of the teachers married. If they had
spent as much time in cultivating
personal magnetism as they did in
dressing their hair, he declared,
three-fourths of them would be mar
ried. BIDDER LOSES A HUSBAND.
Offered S330, But Had Only $157 In
Cash to Pay Rival.
NEW YORK, Juno 20. Because
Many Barna did not have enough
money to buy Steve Gurlck, ho Is now
the husband of another woman. Ho
was married to Annie Markowiz by
Judge Owen Mahon. Steve himself
had little to do with it, except in the
beginning. Steve had engaged him
self to both, but Annlo had first
claim. Mary offered her $157, all
she had saved, but Annie said he was
worth $350, and she would not sell
him for a cent less. Then Mary said
she would pay the $157 down to bind
the bargain, and $3 a week until
Steve was fully paid for, but again
Annie refused. Mary took the mat
ter into court on a charge of breach
of promise, but the judge denied that
Steve belonged to Annie, and that
Mary had recognized the fact by try
ing to buy him from her. So Steve
and Annie were married, while Mary
looked on but said nothing.

TRIALS Hi TRIBULATIONS OF
AN OREGON POLITICAL CANDIDATE
R. D. HUME OF
WEDDERBURN,
CONTRIBUTES AN INTEREST
ING ARTICLE ON THE RECENT
CAMPAIGN AND TELLS WHY HE
WAS DEFEATED FOR STATE
SENATOR FROM COOS AND
R. D. Hume, tho Rogue River sal
mon king, is inclined to believe that
Oregon is not yet ripo for clean poli
tics. This conclusion was probably
drawn from tho result of the recent
election in which he was defeated for
state senator from Coos and Curry
counties. He made a clean cam
paign, merely letting everyone know
that he was a candidate and what
his platform was. He did not make
any particular campaign.
Concerning his defeat and his
views of Oregon politics, ho has writ
ten rather lengthily as follows:
"I wish to thank the few who sup
ported me at the late election, that
may have been laboring with the
mistaken idea that the people of Coos
and Curry considered matters con
cerning legislation anything more
than a joke, and desire to enlighten
such of my friends who have not dis
covered tho fact, if any there be, as
to the causes which make such a
state of public opinion possible.
"As for myself, I had little con
fidence In any successful result be
ing obtained so far as my chances
of election went, but being the last
time that I could try the experiment
I was curious to know what the re
sult of a campaign made without per
sonal effort or tho ordinary free ad
juncts heretofore fashionable might
be. The result shows that habits
which have been of long standing be
come second nature and though the
community may bo strongly dry, the
habit of being wet around election
times is so ingrained in the average
voter that ho cannot realize merit
in anything elBe.
"Tho majority of ancient Oregon-
ians were always wanting to get
something for nothing, free feeds,
free drinks, free smokes, free rides,
etc., and there aro some still remain
ing among us, while their descend
ants are imbued with the same spirit.
Bourne, our highly respected senator
to congress, understood this peculiar
ity of Oregonlans to a nicety, but
since moving to Washington has
probably found a different sort of
society and may bo somewhat unoc
cupied until our Georgo arrives,
when something will be doing in tho
catering line. Oregonlans aro a pe
culiar people. While they aro striv
ing to keep tho main body dry they
seem delighted to havo a wet head.
"Preachers, printers and poets
have shouted for a wet head, al
though some of the samo aro suffer
ing from a dry throat. (Noto the
vote for U. S. senator.) While the
radical of the lot are ready to take
theirs by immersion, between these
last and our George there is a bond
of sympathy that nothing but a
Sahara drought could dry up, and
these form tho majority in Oregon
oven if a portion of them do belong
to tho church and keep tho jug be
hind the door. A jug behind tho
door is a great comfort to tho old
soak who voted dry, as he finds ho
can get bigger drinks for less money
than from tho saloon, and can poso
beforo the community as an emi
nently temperate man and worthy
citizen, whilo can go to bed drunk
every night.
"So much for the lack of "setting
them up." Now wo will consider
the other forces which militated
against mo at tho late election.
"Tho result has proven that tho
people of this district havo no uso
for thoso who have made tho devel
opment of tho country in "which they
livo possible, and that are content to
bo led by tho boosters and knockers
who, like weaving spiders, sit in the
middle of tho web to haul Into their
net tho unwary who come within
reach. Theso "toll not, neither do
they spin" anything but yarns to de
ceive tho foolish or to destroy the
good namo of thoso who aro active
in tho creation of industries which
furnish employment to thoso by
whom they aro surrounded. Such
parasites add nothing to tho wealth
of tho world and furnish nothing
for its betterment. Thoy give em
ployment to none, but playing up
on tho jealous tendencies of tho
human mind, draw to themselves
tho support of thoso who havo for
gotten tho scriptural Injunction,
"By their fruits yo shall know
them," nnd uso such foolish ones
to help themselves to such, good
things as their capacity will onablo
them to grasp.
"Tho tolling masses aro kept at a
fover heat by theso do nothing agi-1
tators whoso numbers aro great
ana who, by magnified stories of tho
wealth of a few individuals, lead
the people to believe that the mon
ey of the country is in the hands
of tho few who consequentally are
a menace to the prosperity of the
nation, therefore any man who is do
ing things to develop the section in
which he lives, who pays his debts,
is also an enemy of thoso whom ho
employs. Tho1 idea being instilled
in their minds that no man is honest
that has made a success of life, they
cannot understand how one could
desire to represent them unless ho h
some scheme to urge for his personal
benefit. Therefore they expect to
discount the graft by making such
aspirant ante to every little grafter
along tho route. This diseased con
dition of the public mind, the germs
of which have been handed down
from the misty days of Oregon's past,
has been Inoculated by the microbes
that have generated in other portions
of the Union, and tho public have be
come so fertilized that an epidemic
has resulted. When, however, Its
course has been run tho laboring
people will discover that it Is work,
not wind pudding, that is most neces
sary for their comfort and happiness,
and that one man fof genius who is
able to conceive and carry out devel
opments that add to the wealth of
the world for their benefit, is of moro
worth to them though ho may swing
millions than though tho same mil
lions were divided among a lot of
misers who havo no capacity beyond
lending money at usurious rates, or
a lot of boosters who aro trying to
get something for nothing. The ef
fort of these agitators tends to dis
courage every man who has ambi
tion and capacity to lead In the devel
opment of the natural wealth of tho
country and when ambition Is killed,
mankind will degenerate to the con
dition of savages. Money is tho
most minute portion of the wealth of
tho world, and were the idea which
idiotic writers aro seeking to convey
to the public mind correct, viz: Tho
wealth of large operators represented
by money alone, were the men of
whom its possession is credited, to
ceaso expending tho samo there
would not bo a dollar in circulation
in tho United States. The fact is
the wealth of tho greatest capitalists
finds investments In industries and
developments which keep labor in
motion to ndd still more profusely
to the created wealth of our coun
try. Tho man is nothing, tho en
ergies ho represents Is everything,
and one of administrative genius is
worth more to tho laboring classes
than millions of the hot air digesters
who draw conclusions from false
principles. "You may fool all the
people some of tho time and some of
tho people all of the time, but you
cannot fool all tho people all of tho
time.' And there is bound to como
an awakening, but perhaps not until
poverty Bhall havo brought many to
where their eyes will be opened that
they may see clearly. In conclusion
will say to my friends that as Geo.
E. Chamberlain has received the ma
jority votes of tho people of Oregon
believe it is tho proper thing to
send him to Washington as senator,
and my reasons for tho belief are
first, tho state will he rid of him for
a portion of his terra as governor,
during which Incumbency ho has
damaged tho resources of tho state
moro than all his predecessors put to
gether, and secondly that tho hypno
tic spell which he has put upon a
majority of Oregonlans may be
broken by tho opportunity offered of
measuring him when placed among
tho representative men of tho nation.
The field will bo largo and he won't
bo able to claim everything in sight
and will have to make good"
