So In the shop-early parade will be the merchants, because -they can sell goods mor satisfactorily, handle their stock more conveniently, and suffer fewer stings of conscience because of overworked help. And the thousands of men and wom en who work for wages behind counters will raise the banner, because they are human and get humanly tired, and be cause their work Is hard enough, make conditions the best.

Straight from the heart in all sincerity. Yet a vofce from the lower rlghthand. corner chirps "Let him rave, this idle fancy of lovesick youth." W oman Fall s in JLove Ftrat AbsolutelyPure Cooking is a matter which con-, cerns the whole family, and under modern methods and conveniences it is made so attractive the whole family is becoming interested, if not taking part in it. "These biscuits are delicious ; this cake is excellent, says the father. " I made them,' says the daughter, and both - father and daughter beam with pleasure. It is a crime, with our modern agencies, helps and facilities, to have soggy biscuit, or wooden cake, or leaden pastry. Royal Baking Powder has made home baking a success,' a pleasure and a profit, and the best cooking today the .world over is done with its aid. women, who are supposed to b buying in the spirit of good will to all, have been exclusive of the tollers In their generosity. There is neither an eigiit hour nor a 10 hour law for the horses, though the Horse Owners' association and the Humane society have done a great deal for them. And the messengers and delivery agents have joined the campaign long ago, A plan will be made this year to provide each with a poster which he will wear on ills rounds, and on It sim ply the well understood .exhortation, "Shop Early." The effort, too, will be made to enlist the great body of the people in Port land. All they have to do Is to think of the added comfort to themselves and those who serve them that will result from their thoughtfulness, and It Is be lieved that the response will be even more generous than to the campalgnof last year. The Nag-The Grouch By Dorothy. Dix. Infidelity is not the hardest fault for a wife to forgive in a nusoana. Many a wife overlooks her spouse's weak nesses for pretty faces because he is lust as gallant and charming and makes las many delightful speeches to her as he I does to other women. And she's wise to be conveniently blind, for such a man makes a thousandfold happier home than the man who Is the pattern of all I the virtues, but who never opens, his mouth in his own home except to find fault And precisely the same thing may be said concerning women. The worst wife on earth, and the one that can bring most misery down on her husband's head Is the nagging wife. Surely, if any woman on earth has a right to a divorce, and all the alimony In Bight, It Is the woman who is mar ried to a man who speaks to her as he would no, dare to speak to any woman who has an able bodied brother to de fend her. Certainly, if any man in the world la Justified in simply getting up and leav ing his wife it Is the man who Is un fortunate enough to be tied to a woman who nags him from morning until night. and who comes home from his hard day's work to be fretted at, and com plained to, and deluged with tears and khysterla. What are the big offenses for which divorce Is granted compared, to these never ending aggravations? Nothing, You can forgive a crime and be done with It, but the perpetual irritation Is always with you, and always keeping your temper and your nerves sore. It's the little things that make mis ery or happiness in marriage. If you take care of the amenities the morals will take care of themselves.

JJr. Lane's itinerary beyond Vale has not been mapped out. except that he will open the following weetc ai uniano. By Ada Fntterson, Wlien a woman 6ld recently " that woman Is the flr,g,t to fall in love, there was a stir of surprise and interest in the men's oamp. Amused silence In the women's. The women had known It all the time. But they hadn't chosen to take the men Into their confidence In the matter. They never will bo choose not at lease in the case of the men In whom they have a special interest, those men who are trying to win them try ing. A man wonders blindly when he will marry. He may Bpare himself the trou ble of guessing. He will marry when the girl who has made up her mind to marry him chooses. A few dreamy eyed persons still talk about fate and In fancy see a grave faced woman spinning and weaving the web of their future. Bosh! A man's fate Is determined by quite a different person, a woman not grave of face but merry, who weaves his future not by spindle, but with a perfumed fan. Some one dimly feeling this truth long ago voiced It by naming the girl he was to marry a man's "fate." She Is his "fate" because she has re solved to marry him. What he wishes is a matter of little moment. Ho must rhanira his wishes and she sees to H that he-does. When they meet the man they would like for a husband, the fact is quickly nnnarent to .tfiem, though not to the men. A woman has a livelier imagina tion than a man has. If, when a man has twice danced with a girt, it -were suggested to him tbot he picture her as his wife, he would laugh at the person who suggested it and call him an idiot The girl who, with such a seeming in difference, floats about the room in his arms, not only has a mental picture of herself as the mistress of their home, but has already furnished all the down stairs rooms ana decided what flowers ahall grow on the lawn. Therein Is the explanation for what has been falsely termed woman's fickle ness. ' Woman Is not fickle. She loves truly and ardently for a while, but grows tired of waiting for the slow creature with cumbersome mental pro cesses to overtake her. In the love race Voman is like the hare, man like the fabled tortoise, except that in Cupid's uncertain country, the tortoise does not always overtake the hare. Many a man loves a girl because he Is too slow witted to catch up with her before her quickly born love for himself has turned to scorn for hls slow wit Women, taught that It Is Immodest to reveal their love until It Is asked, have become in that respect, mistresses of dissimulation. In the drama of love all wolnen are aotresses. Every girl la a Bernhardt and the man with whom she is In love, her blundering, cumbersome minded audience. The man watching. Interested, puzzled, wonders what all her airs and graces, her odd little hu mors, her alternate smiles and gravity are about. If he. finds out in time he will become her proud and happy hus band. If she becomes Impatient with his dullness, and her Interest centers In another and cleverer man, he will mourn her "fickleness." A girl, of 16 is grown up and has long gowns and dresses and cupola piled hair like ner mother's. A boy of 16 Is still shy as a rabbit, and Is wondering at the strange pranks his up and down stairs voice plays him. So with their falling in love, tne gin arrives long before him, She meets a man and thereafter his race floats between her and her moth er's features. The echoes of his voice are louder In her ears than of her fatn er's tones, bidding her bring .him the evening paper. She knowa what this means the first age of love. She be gins at once to hide it from every one but herself, and usually succeeds, while tne man later discovers that she Is "a very nice little girl. Indeed, for she has taken him, but he loses his appetite, grows moon eyed and preoccupied, talk sentiment and is poor company until every one knows he Is in love and with whom -every one aavje himself.' Finally the scales rail from his eyes and he pro. poses, and If her pride that has grown while she hid her love, and her disgust with his Blow moving Intellect, have not conquered his "fate" becames his, ii not, some oiner ana quicker man wins her. A woman who has happily married a man of deliberate speech and slow conclusions, said she was so piqued by his beginning a proposal one night end leaving It unfinished for a week, that she nearly ran away with a man whom she disliked A tactfu.l mother left the college professor alone with her daugh ter and told the man with the eloping intent that her daughter was "engaged.',' When she went back to the parlor she saw her words were prophetic The easy going suitor had captured his "fate1 while nearly losing It. Women know this, all women and Ber nard Shaw. If they love at all, they love first. If they don't love first they do not love. They only permit them selves to be won, Library Attractive Place "RED PENCIL DAY TO GIVE AID TO BABY HOME "Buy a pencil for the baby!" This is the slogan that has been adopted for the "Red Pencil Day" cam nalgn. Saturday, October 12, In the In terest of the Baby Hofne, The old Idea of selling tags has been abandoned, the sale of something useful having been chesen as a more effective plan for raising money.

In the past the sale of tags has been satisfactory to a, large extent, but owing to the fact, that other and less deserving Institutions at times had lm itated the plan, the sale of , tags has diminished to such an extent that pen ells were chosen for this year's cam paign. Those who are interested have been invited to communicate with of ficials in charge of the headquarters in tne selling building. , No Meat for London Cat. mi m v & ... i no caia oi uonaon are xaoea with a crisis unparalleled ' in . feline history, There Is a famine In cats' meat. Th- basic cause of the famine was exDound- ed to an Express representative by a cats' meat man of Clapham. "A dead horse," ha said, "is as rare nowadays as a dead donkey.

The demand is always good for the old standard auth ors as well. Dickens probably comes first In this class and Thackeray second.
