TUT ARY CURTIS was acknowledged to be the prettiest girl In town, when 1 was a boy. I did not myself enjoy the privilege of urban life, liv ing Instead on a farm some distance out, and so viewing the town maiden with some degree of awe and admira- tlon. Mary was the popular citizen from the moment she entered high school. Her father was by qp means affluent, lie did, in fact, operate the village hardware store, but Mary was his only child and upon her he lavished the results of his limited gains from dis posing of base burners and shingle nails, and garden tools. Mary had the clothes, and the curly locks, and the pleasant smile, and an eye out for the main chance. All the fellows were crazy about her. She got through high school without any permanent emotional entangle ments, and she was well on In college before she actually had to say yes or no to any matrimonial proposal. Whenever she had seen an offer of marriage coming her way she had always been able to duck or to side step the encounter. When she was a senior she had a dozen admirers at least, but there were three with whom she ultimately realized she would have to settle. They meant to have a de- clslon. Clayton was the brainiest man in college. If keenness of mind and an ability to solve a difficult problem when it presents itself count for any thing, then Clayton would be beard from some day. But he was cold, he was self-centered, he was personally ambltlotis. and he had little more than future prospects. He was not an in terestlng lover. Jordan loved her to distraction and unwisely let her know it. He was the most unselfish, the most popular, and the most likable man In college, but he was poor, desperately poor. Who I ever married him would have to start humbly and be satisfied, at first at least, with hard work and love. Martin was more or less of a non entity, hut he had money. He was uninteresting and stupid, but he dressed well, he sent her flowers and took her riding nnd she knew he could give her a beautiful home, good clothes, motor cars, and an easy, com fortable life. Brains, money, love—which should slie choose? She didn’t hesitate long. Shortly nfter she got out of college she married Martin and he took her to the big ugly house which he had built for her. I see her often, and I wonder some times If she ever regretted the choice she made. She has grown rather stout; the corners of her mouth droop; her face shows a rather dis satisfied, discontented mind. She’s hard to get on with, the neighbors say. She has found Martin stupid, and she’s discovered that money, after all. isn’t everything. I wonder if she doesn't sometimes think regretfully of the day when Jordan told her that he loved her and when she refused hint, for Jordan got on very well and he Is said to have the happiest home in town. 1#2®, Western Newspaper Union.) CONSIDER THE HEN Hard Times means nothing to a hen. She just keeps on digging worms and laying eggs, regurdlesai of what the newspapers say about conditions. If the ground is hard, she scratches harder. If it’s dry, she digs deeper. If she strikes a rock, she works ti.

In his address before the Minne sota State Bar association, Hon, J. Adam Bede said: ’’They tell a story of an Oklahoma Indian who made a fortune in oil last summer, which illustrates the condition of our Í country. Having made his fortune, he thought he would see A merica first. So he bought himself a car, and drove away. Next day he returned to the salesman, all banged up. i ‘What’s the matter?' The Indian said ! ‘I driv|e out big car; buy gallon moonshine; step on gas. See fence; he hop fence; pretty soon see bridge coming down road. He turn out to let bridge go by. Bang! Car gone.
