Ri:c of Stenos Just See How Education Has Spread Was a time, a few lives since, when dere lict monks earned a few farthings by establish ing pent hcuses against cemetery walls and penning love letters for servant girls who had not. learned the art of writing. Time and necessity , spoil many a happy plan. ' One can imagine no more enjoyable occupation that to sit within the cool shade of an awning on a bright day and write down daring proposals for the lovelorn. But the women have spoiled all this. They wanted to write their own letters, and they learned to spell and write and read. Why, oh why! . - ' Then, doggone it, they got so far advanced that they started writing letters for men. They crowded the male amanuensis out for the most part. The typewriter was invented, and for a time it was deemed impossible for any woman riot a piano player to operate. There 7was music in the world those days. . Alas! The . pfano fallacy was exploded by the women. A vision for the future, judging by the :, is disheartening. Business men of Klam ath say that the female human of today who ha) evolved from EheT.carefree damsel of the" past has learned to do everything but think. That she is a slave driver who makes him have a guilty feeling every time he arrives at the office an hour late. Yet, the triumph of woman is not com plete. When he wants to write a few tender lines the mere man gets off in a corner by him self, and does his own penning as in days of old. I, y:yy..y- -y.-;.. ;-'.' Qr .: MS m if the Kl Compiled by II. W.

He shows great discrimination in the use of descriptive adjectives. Only twice did he use the word, "excellent." This in speaking of the street and police departments. But there is a place where he might have' used "efficient." Klamath Falls has a fire de partment. It is the one department the public knows to be efficient. And somehow the mayor wrote all around it without once men tioning either the department or its efficiency. That reveals a facile pen, indeed! Note this: "The year has been marked with the ., absence of great fires such as this commun ity has been afflicted with in the past. No, doubt one contributing factor has been greater humidity of the atmosphere, etc." ; No, Mr. Mayor, it won't do. The fire de partment passage was what the French call a foxy pass. Next time merely write, "Fire de partment is efficient," and let it go at that. Otherwise the style of the message is in veigling. , It has color, zip, a veiled threat or two and is self-revealing. SOLD TO M KUUK'K FOH 'f.too Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 18 years old and rery unhappy. When I was 'IS years old I can to America from the old country to Q to achool. I came over to my cousin's home and she prom ised to send me to school. Aftor I arrlrcd she m delighted with me. I am rather a pretty girl and after I had been here a short time there was a young man aftor me to make me marry him. but I do not want to get married. 1 want to go to whool but my cousin was offered $500 to make me marry him. My cousin was daitled by the money and nidi me marry him when I was on'.y IS years old. Now I am unhappy and cannot lire with my husband. I would like to Rot a ilivorce. but I don't know Just what to do. t simply cannot lire with him. I haven't any other sweetheart, but 1 want to be free so I (cnn go to school and get rn opportunity to make something of myself In lifn. I am not Internsied In men. I'NHAl'I'Y KLOL'KY. You should free yourself from such an alliance. I am sure that If you. can prove In court your story of the forced marriage, yon can obtain a divorce. Place your case In the hands of a dependable lawyer.' liy phoning or calling on the bar association you can obtain the namos of some rellablo divorce attorneys. 8TUDK.NT: There apparently Is little mutual interest between you two, 1 would advise you to drop the man and devote youi .elf to the studies which you sny you like so well. One of these days a young man will come along who more nearly represents your ideal. I'KKCY H.: .. Your parents should bo willing to give you rea sons for being prejudiced against the young man. ' However, you can be sure that there Is some basis to their opposition. He member that they are only trying CAUK: Since you are acquain ted wltb ths young wan, all yuu need do to let him know you ' would like him 1o come to your party Is to send him an Invitation.

When a man stops going with a girl, and makes no eiplanatlom. It means that he Isn't Interested In her any more. And there is nothing she can do, if sho wauls to keep her self respect.

" At a Washington reception a lady whispered In a ahorked voice to t senator:" ' " "Look at that girl! I never 'saw such a decollete town, and such transparent stockings.

"Perhaps." laughed the senator, "she's one of tho.ie who bellevs and prartlca the good o'.d saying that young girls should bo seen and not heard."

And there are men on the Klamath today who claim contin ual persecution from lbs reclama tion service becaue they were followers of Ady. Ady came to the Klamath from the vicinity of Los Calos. He worked wltb the surveyors during the time the project waa under consideration. A man of consid erable Intellect and training. If not broad-minded. It would seem that be bad every opportunity to know what he waa talking about when he began, almost from the first, to make complaints about the manner In which the project waa being developed.

Some Pages from Ut VICIOK Ml TINY ON TMK llltitl HKAS Si hast Ian Cabot, son of John Cabot who tailed from Kngland to the North American coast flvo years after Columbus, hnd a varied career. Ills first voyage, on which ho may have accompanied hit father, had fonrful encottntera with tho Icebergs of Ihe northern seas. Then he man aged to land In tho region of New foundland and take possession In the name of Kngland! Hnnring atorles of Cabot's daring and boldness. Ferdinand of Hpaln, eont for him to come to hla court. Hut tho king died before an expe dition was begun and Cabot was compelled hy tho Jealous Spaniards to return to Kngland. However, more than ten years later, he waa back In Hpaln again and sailing toward the coast of Hotith America under Hpanlsh colors. It Is sbIiI that the Portuguese sent a spying siiiaIWn after his fleet. Ho you may see that the whole busi ness of exploration was bound up In envy and Intrigue. Nor waa Jealousy at horns the worat thing that Hohastlan had to deal with. Ilia own men were envious of each other and more than all else onvlous of him. Murder and mil tiny wore In tho nlr. One historian American History MORGAN tells us Hint sealed orders were given each ship of tho expedition ss to the succession In command. That very fact waa enough to Invite these rough and ready seamen to murder. Klnnlly a mutiny of a deadly sort broke out. Cabot's life was scarce-, A ly worth a dime, should he fall lo t net quickly, lis didn't fall. t Without hesitation ha landed Ihe mutineers at the first point of land and proceeded tranquilly on hla way. He sailed up the Parana rlvjr, of South America, and found the river ; ho called Illo d la . Plata. I The -natlvos here ware . not ready for friendly overtures! They aolsod threo Innocent Spaniards. Cabot again acted with promptness,' open ing firs on lbs natives.- The battle which followed waa swift and bitter. The losses wars reported as 800 na tives killed, 56 Spaniards. Cabot waa soon able to seo the mountains of Peru, Hut his funds fulled and he was able to go no further.
