RULES FOR MARRIAGE.
AFTER three months of married life, Mrs. Ella Farn
ham, 20, has left the Brooklyn boarding house
where she and her husband of GO had made their
home, has sued for divorce, and gone to work as
clerk in a notion store.
She recommends the following "don'ts," based on her
own brief experience, to all women contemplating matri
mony: .
"Don't marry a man who cannot gve ydu a cozy little
home of your own.
"Don't marry until you have spent at least five years
in the society of men.
"Don't be afraid of being an old maid. It is worse to
have your heart broken by a man unworthy of you.
"Don't marry too young and with too little knowledge
of men. ' ..
"Don't take men too seriously. Most men s compli
ments are deceiving.
"Don't contradict those who tell you marriage is a
farce.
"Don't forget that a good, office job is better than a
poor man." .
All this covers broad ground. But broader still might
have been covered by a single sentence: "Don't marry at
all unless there is love enough to last longer than three
months." . '
Love can overcome all adverse conditions, make a hap
py home anywhere, sweeten sorrows and disappoint
ments, smooth the wrinkles of age and lend wisdom to
Aha inexperience of youth, and cause all life's joys that
are really worth while to hover about it and radiate from
it, as fragrance surrounds the rose.
There are ro fixed rules for happiness in marriage, and
never can be any.
But it may confidently be stated as an invariable gen-
ral principle, mat lots 01 love is neeueu 10 prevent a wue
kept in a boarding house from being like a fish out of
water. . , .
TVio iriwit rinses nf hrmnv wivps who work m their
homes, roar their children, cook the meals, mend the clo
thing and do the thousand and one unending tasks of the
housewife need not envy those glittering butterflies who
look upon marriage as opportunity for leisure.
The happiest women in the world are the wives whose
love finds expression in work not overtaxed drudges,
whose lives are locfiriiy miserable, but tlv women
v.'hose time and hands anc minds are ever occupied in
making the home happier and life for all around them
sweeter with wholesome meaning.
tion of men. ' They, do not want men; they are learning
to be independent of them. '
"I do not pretend that all women who follow these occu
pations are of this class, but I maintain that there is a
large and growing proportion of what is practically a
third sex. Inasmuch as the proportion of men over wo
men is increasing, I see no harm in it, but good. Spinster
hood is no longer the reproach it once was, and women
lead far more interesting and brighter lives than they
ever did before." '
John Carmichael, aged 82, a few days ago applied to
the county judge of Baker county for assistance to reach
the little town of Grouse in Wallowa county, where a
kind-hearted nephew had offered him a home. He was
unable to walk without crutches, being a cripple, but it
developed in his story that his heart and his sturdy inde
pendence were neither crippled, but were wonderfully
vigorous. He had asked nothing from anyone, but, un
able to stand, had on his knees worked a crosscut saw and
managed to cam 50 cents a day by cutting cordwood. He
maintained himself on this, until the nephew offered him
a home. What a picture of sturdy independence and how
grand the venerable gentleman, for he is that, appears
beside the individuals who compose the army of Wont
Works, strong young and able, but filled with self-pity
and other people's food, and whining over their hard luck.
Brave old John Carmichael. He deserves a good home the
rest of his years, and if his relatives cannot provide it, J
Baker county or the state should, buch self-reliance as
hi3 should not go unrewarded and the example should not
be permitted to be lost.
the report of the State Board of Health shows that in
February there were 546 girls born in the state and only
408 boys. For the first three months of the year there
were 9;!7 males died and only 627 females. Can it be that
this is the result of equal suffrage and the haughty dames
have concluded to just elimiante we poor devils of he
bipeds? . , .n'i'-OT
The returns from the primary election up to time of
going to press indicate that Judge Bennett will head the
democratic state ticket for governor, and Dr. Withycombe
will be successful among the republican aspirants. Both
are excellent men and are well qualified for the position
of chief executive of the state.
A negro girl in Oklahoma 10 years old has a fortune
of 8,000,000. It is safe to say that when she grows up
she will be able to find a husband who will not draw the
color line.
General Coxey's army started for Washington with 14
soldiers, but three have already deserted.
According to the latest reports, Huerta i,s taking the
well-known advice to "go west."
Everybody seems to have jumped onto that road bond
proposition.
SUFFRAGE RESPONSIBLE FOR NEW SEX.

NEW sex is growing up ; a third sex women who
deliberately abandon all feminine attributes and
honestly do not care for love or passion."
This, according to Sir William Bell, member of
Parliament for Hammersmith, in an article in the Acad
emy, is the real reason for the growth of the woman suf
frage movement. "The young woman of half a century
ago who did wool work also wasted thousands of hours
of valuable time in practising the piano," said Sir William,
"in nine cases out of ten she had no taste or inclination
for music, and is now as defunct as her grandmother who
swooned in graceful attitudes on every occasion. Women
nowadays are taking up a more aggressive position in
the world; they travel unchaperoned; they ride alone in
taxis, and live like bachelors by themselves in flats, if
they think fit, without scandal. They want to live their
own lives; they do not want to get married or expect it.
They imitate men as far as they can in their attire. They
smoke cigarettes, and lead useful lives as clerks, typists.

IF you wero' on bad terras with a family down tho .street and you didn't
want to pet into a row with them you wouldn't go down and
STAND Itf FRONT OF THAT ILL HUMORED NEIGHBOR'S
DOOR WITH. CLINCHED FISTS, would you? I tell you wo wo
men know what's wrong in Mexico and what's wrong ia this country.
IT WAS ONLY THE MEN WHO WERE ASTONISHED WHEN THERE
WAS BLOODSHED AT VERA CRUZ AND WHEN CARRANZA GAVE US
WARNING THAT ALL MEXICANS WOULD STAND TOGETHER. WE WO
MEN KNOW OUR MEN CHILDREN. WE KNOW THERE WAS NEVER A
TIME WHEN A PERSON INSULTED ONE MEMBER OF A FAMILY THAT
ALL THE FAMILY DIDN'T PITCH IN TO RESENT IT, HOWEVER MUCH
THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN FIGHTING AMONG THEMSELVES.
I'll give you a woman's insight into what we aro going to face if wo
go ahead. We are GOING TO FACE A SECOND BOER WAR, in
which tho very natural topography of Mexico will fight back our hun
dreds of thousands of soldiers and will keep them all at bay.
