TESTS OF CHAkACTER MARRIED men, fat men and profane men offer the best risks in business, according to an announcement by a surety company, official. There may be a valid reason why married men would be deterred from violating a trust even though-under other circumstances they might not refrain. Family disgrace and the pain that would be inflicted on inno cent persons through the husbands' crimes might operate to keep them in the straight path, though there might be just as powerful a reason for the unmarried man with parents and brothers and sisters to avoid peculation. It may be that fat men are disposed toward good nature and that an easy-going man is not tempted to go wrong because it would involve too much trouble. Profanity by some one has been defined as due to a limited vocabulary. Because one is un able to command approved words of sufficient strength to ex press his feeling he interlards his remarks with profanity on the principle that the statement is thereby strengthened. But whj yhould one with a limited command of language be a better risk than one who uses good English and is able to express his thoughts without the use of profanity? If observation supports the view expressed by the surety company official it is coincidence rather than cause and effect. One'J reliability certainly depends on one's principles rather than on one's marital state, corpulencv or manner of SDeech. It is the inner man, the part of the man that cannot be seen, that ir,ac,i,,ns "lace determines one s trustworthiness.

High-spir ited women and high towns ate in compatible. Mary Maclne of Montana, said so many year ago Carol Kennicott, heroine of "Main street," had an awful time in Gopher l'rairie, both with the town mid the natives. Mrs. Clark Durea. minster's wife, of Monticello, X. Y., ran away wtth an other man because, as she said, stie couldn't stand life in a small town. Now here's Mrs. Frances Haskell Nihlack, who prefers divorce to life in Oklahoma, The beautiful and clever daughter of the first governor of Oklahoma.. Charles N. Haskell, could not go hack to the husband whose voice called'to her from the vast steppes of that re gion from New York state. Mrs. Nibiack, in 1908. married I.es lie U. Nibiack, army officer. Not till liilT did she come to look upon ttn splendor that is conceded to be New York City. . Right then and there something told Mrs. Nibiack she never again could go back to the wide fields of thf great golden West. No more silos, overalls or oil wells for her. Wanted No More Oklahoma. . The year 1917. which marked the advent of Mis. Nibiack in Gotham, also is memorable as the initial date of the great conflict. The prairie dogs "were exchanged for the dogs of war. Mrs. Nibiack became a nurse and went overseas, as did her husband then be come a major. War ended, the army . officer ex pressed a desire to see bis home town. His wife compared It with New York to the serious detriment of the Okla homa municipality. She asked divorce on grounds of cruelty. She lost her case but her husband won freedom, charging desertion. Thus does lovely woman spurn un suitable! background for her talents and charm. Let us look back to the ttme v hen Mary Machine first started to fer ment way out in P.utte. Mont. At first the startled natives didn't know what her unttsual talent for self-expression meant. Some suggested it was mad ness, a few thought genius. The fen were right. The militant Mary's whole probleir was contained In her address, as one of her friends suggested, after "The Story of Mary Maclme" had excited wild comment, much of it unfabora ble. If there was anything the matter with Mary, Butte. Mont., was to blame, so her friends said. Mary was the pioneer enemy of monotonous life However, this weird genius is al ways well able to express bitingly and picturesque if often tiresomely-her and Circum stance. For Instance Mary's Morass of Monotony. ''I and all other seamstresses and awyers and housewives sit upright in chairs and Ordinary Housewife's l,;fo, 1 want to show," explained the weird literary genius, "what the plain, everyday, ordinary housewife endures. I war.t to show her shut tip in her home, with onlv dull gossip of her I neighbors. I want to show her as she I Is. unable to leave the four walls of; her dwelling because of her household ! duties. ! "Imagine the temptations of a worn- ' an of than sort, Imagine them when I she does go out Into the world! The husband does not appreciate this, but j the wife does. No wonder the divorce i courts are kept busy." , i The reactions of the author herself , were much the, same, for she describes her own life thus: j "r rise In the morning, eat three' meals, and walk, and work a little;! read a little, write, see some unlnter-1 eating people; go to bed. "The next day I rise In the morning. I eat three meals, and walk, and work a little: read a little, write; see some uninteresting people; go to bed. "Truly an exalted, soulful life!" Hut there came a time, after some years Mary had left nutte to visit Chicago, New York and Boston when the Montana genius wanted to go home to see her people. "The grass blades' of the meadows cal me, she said. 1 TTT Tk TT TT "V "1 r"t. " K( W . H ' livvu 15' J I Xl'J.L-A e In another sentence she speaks of being as "free as a wildcat on a twi light hill." Mary Mcline's strongest supporters .'V. IT TTCD'N No Rotter Second Time ) ! Note "meadows," for such they np-! peared when she was far away. I'pon her arrival home she write: "I was curious to test my Impres- j ions of Butte. after several years ab-j sence. I hoped I might find it more ! endurable. But. bah! It wan the same j hideous home of druging devils and ; seared scenery that it alwnyt was. . j "Of course. I missed and longed f or j my people and my friends, and wished i for them time and again. And 1 often j thought of visiting Butte to ie them, ' but one would think of Purgatory in ' the same way." j I'arol Kennicott, in "Main Street," who came to Gopher Prairie as a bride, tried o live according to her) own standards, and as the same time ; endeavored to instil a little taste fori them in her townsmen. But she came j to grief through her own views. Yet ' finally she returned to her town and husband, after a taste of life In the effete East, and tries to adapt hrself In some measure to the situation. I The monotony of life In small, re mote places and the triviality of it Is 'lppHlling to many women. Mrs. .Lucy Ostrum, of Monticello, N. Y., whose son-in-byw. Earl Vernioy, ran away with the wife of Clark Du rea, an unordained minister of the Church of Holiness, is quoted as say ing: , "The small town is the cause of all j the trouble. All the meanness and ! sneakiness .that goes on in a little place like Utte you can't imagine.. If 1 had a son tfTlirlng up I would move to the corner of Forty-second street and Ilroadway among the bright lights!" Mrs. Emily Dnrea, wife of the min ister, expressed her own dissatisfac tion at the emptiness of her small town existence and said she simply had to get away. But after a few days absence she begged to bo taken back nd was refused. Mary MaI-ane went back only to be disguested again. Caril Kennicott went home, resigned and determined somehow to make the best of things. Mrs. Durea tried to go back. Will Mrs. Frances Haskell Nibiack ever tire of this city and other van tage points In the wide, wide world and wish to return to Oklahoma? It all seems to be in the point of view, anyway, all a question of taste. Mary herself once said a contentment: "Content is my rarest emot'nn find I get it nt midnight out of a boiled potato!"
