V POLK COUNTY NEWS-GAZETTE. BENTON. TENNESSEE. Laura Jean Libbeu's Talks on Heart ToDics A WANDERING HEART. I blame the not! This heart I know To be long loved was never framed. For something in its depth doth glow Too strange, too restless, too untamed. There are hearts which seem to have the wanderlust habit just as there are men who become rest less when tied down to any one place for long. The man may be cured of bis eagerness to roam by falling In love. Hut where the heart gets the roaming habit It Is apt to scatter dismay in Its path. So many labels are at tached to it that some are puzzled how to classify it. It passes by the name of fickle love, Inconstancy, baffled ailectjons, light o' fancy, heartlessness and many more such appellations. It S certain that the wandering heart is not a happy one, whether in quest of a mate or having grown weary of its ties. We have much sympathy for the heart that is wandering about in search of a mate. We believe It to be true to its ideals; but for the heart that has attached itself to another heart, then becomes weary of It, we have little consideration and less pity. It is doubtful if it will ever become fully anchored. Even the humble bee furnishes a lesson for the wandering heart. Of it the poet has written with much truth: The bee thro' many a garden roves, And hums his lay of courtship o'er. But when he finds the flower he loves, He settles there and roams no more. He differs from the other wanderer in leaving no broken hearts behind him. The heart that can tire of one love may also prove untrue to another, aye and to another. The callow youth is not sufficiently matured to be ca pable of a great and lasting passion. A man' has not such excuse for his rest lessness. He should be capable of Judging when he enters the presence of the one whose heart has all the qualities ' which appeal to his own. Brave is the girl who accepts a lover knowing that he has won the love of half a dozen other girls only to cast them aside for a newer fancy. She must have golden opinions of herself to im agine that she is so much more attrac tive than they and that her powers of holding him from wandering are so much stronger. Knowing the propensity of the wan dering heart, she takes him at her own risk. A man who is true and steadfast of purpose though he hasn't the second coat to his back, is a greater matrimonial prize than the son of wealth who has money to burn but has a wandering heart in his bosom. To be popular, a man doesn't have to have a score of sweethearts, whose dead hopes hang to his belt like the scalps the warriors of old strung on their bows as trophies of their con quests. The man who knows that he is of a roving disposition and his heart has the wanderlust habit should never attach himself to any girl un less he is sure beyond all doubting that he loves her well enough to set tle down for her sake and be content with her love and her love only. It is unfair to a girl to offer her a heart which has had other tenants who had been put out for non-return -of af fection. DENYING HIS CHILD. Free, off-hand your story tell When wl' a bosom crony, Hut still keep somothlnjr to yourself Te scarcely tell to any. I'll no say men are villains a"; The real, hardened wicked, Wha' hae nac check but human law Are to a few restricted. The cleverest of women are apt to make the 6orrieet mistakes in trying to solve that greatest of human puzzles the heart of man. He who she thinks would turn out to be a gay free lance after marriage disproves her judgment by casting aside the wl oats which he has not sown and be coming a model husband. The quiet young man becomes a martinet in his ownhouBehold; the drunkard an elo quent lecturer on "the evil of wine," and so on down a very long list. She who weds the man she loves, and who professes an equal love for her, con siders herself blessed, especially if chil dren come to cement the marriage bond still firmer. Many wives weep, wearying heaven with their petitions because they are childless. It is unusual Tor a wife to weep because the boon of motherhood is hers.' One woman writes me: "1 have been married six years. My hus band and I were happy until baby ( came; since then we have been drift-j Ing steadily but surely apart. My i trouble is, my little girl is so extraor dinarily homely of face that strangers f turn to look at her in wonder when her nurse baa her out on the street. "My husband" is ashamed of her. He will pass her by on the street if he is accompanied by a friend, turning tis head the otter way. A gentleman who was with him the other day said. Why, here cornea your nurse girl, I believe, and your child. My husband coclly made answer. 'That isn't our little one; my nurse girl has a neigh bor'i child out airing. The nurse told it all over, and I am almost down sick over the matter. What shall 1 do?" Mrs. J. Ker grief is a unique one. I would remind her that babyhood and child hood are fleeting. Do not despair, bear patiently with your husband's ill humor, though it la cruel, most in human in a father. Remember the Etory of the ugly duckling, which all the feathered tribes on land and water made great fun of. What jokes they cracked about 4ts long, scraggy neck and wings! Time, tne great magician, wrought a wonderful change in the ugly duckling, turning it into a swan so beautiful all who saw it cried out in wonder at its grace and beauty. Plain, homely children grow into the fairest, most beautiful and gracious maidens. Your little daughter will yet cause her father to be proud of her, rest assured of that. Crossed eyes are readily remedied in infancy, a too de cided upward tilt of the wee nose cor rected by mamma's fingers, and a face on which the skin is drawn over the bones can be filled out by the right kind of nourishing food. Get some reliable book on "babyhood" and study it carefully, acting on its best sugges tions. Do not forget that homeliness in a child of four is not a lifelong con dition. Looking through a collection of pictures of the most beautiful wom en .taken in early childhood we find that the majority of them were ugly ducklings. But, no matter how ill favored a little one may be its father should never be ashamed of it on that account. A child given to husband and wife is a gift direct from God's own hand. He is angered at the belittling of his most precious treasures. EASY DIVORCES. Believe me, if all those "endearing young charms Which I gaze on so fondly today Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms IJke fairy gifts fading away. Thou wouldst still be adored, as this mo ment thou art, . Let thy loveliness fade as it will, And around the dear ruins each wish of my heart Would entwine itself verdantly still. On a trolley car the other day two young men were discussing marriage. One, a happy-go-lucky, devil-may-care sort of fellow, judging froir-his man ner and speech, remarked to his com panion: "Here's a bit of news for you! I met the prettiest little girl you ever laid eyes on last Monday, made her acquaintance on Tuesday, proposed on Thursday. I would have married her the next day, but her folks put a clamp upon my ardor, declaring she should not be my wife for a year. To my mind it's a silly notion, waiting a year for a girl, if she suits you and you suit her, Don't you think eo?" "Marriage is a very serious matter," declared his companion. "A year is none too long to figure out the situa tion. What would you do if after a rapid-fire courtship and -marriage you were not suited to each other?" "Divorces are easy," retorted the other, flippantly. The words were lightly spoken, but one could easily determine that he meant what he said. Unconsciously he touched the keynote of the divorce evil. It has to do with the rich more than the poor. The hon est, thrifty young workman selects a eweet young girl of his own class. Their courtship is romantic and ten der. They usually bring up a family together. They may have their little tiffs what married couples do not? but such a thing as divorce never en ters the mind of either. The son and heir of wealth who has nothing to do but kill time with pleasure encounters a pretty lass. He would have her for his own. He weds her with scarcely more thought than he would purchase a ticket for Europe. If they should disagree or weary of each other he or she would go motoring through Ke vada, making headquarters at Reno. A hard-luck story is told to the presiding judge. Without much ado they who entered the door as one, bound together by God until death does them part, according to his laws, are severed by man's each to go forth into the world either to walk life's path alone or seek consolation ,in a new love. If uncertain in regard to happiness in the new venture they think they can afford to take a chance for they have found divorce so easy. If a man and woman realized that marriage was for life and that only death could part them, the choice of a helpmate would be made with utmost caution and great care. Couples would be slower to disagree and air their trouble. Last remark: Easy divorce laws not only break up the home but the hearts of innocent children who still blindly love each parent. One hand Is stretched to father, the other to mother. Their young hearts cry out in bitterness against the laws which made it possible to thrust aside old ties and form, new ones. Making an Impression. ,'Isn't your wlta trifle abrupt, not to eay harsh, in her manner of ad dressing you?" asked the old friend who was taking dinner. "That's all right," replied Mr. Cum rox. "It's perfectly understood. My wife talks to me that way for the sake of the moral effect on the cook." MEL IKES GLEAN LIVER AID Just Once!

"Sometimes a man gets a reputation that is undeserved," said Sara Gray, a member of the stenographic corps of the house of representatives, at the Willard, according to the Washington Post. "It happened to me a few years apo when I was traveling with former Speaker Cannon in a political cam paign. 'Uncle Joe' made a lot of speeches in that particular campaign, and I was there to make a stenographic report and transcript of them. In one Western city, the speaker was talk ing to a tremendous crowd of people, when suddenly, without warning, the electric lights went out, leuving the house in total darkness. "For fifteen minutes, perhaps, the speaker talked on in the darkness. It was up to me, of course, to make a re- nort of his sne'echand I did. ij rurally, I had to feel my way, and notes unusually large, so no trouble tn reading th lights were restored I w with the speaker, and curate transcript of his s of the newspaper boys h story and published it as a marvelous feat. "The fact is, it was not at all diffi cult to follow the former speaker. He is not a rapid talker, and I hud no trouble in taking his remarks." . SKIN ITCHED AND BURNED R. F. D.

Ycu remember how in the piping : days of peace, when something simply had to be done to make talk, there I was a hue and cry about American I girls In Berlin and the dreadful things they did under pretense of studying j music. Here is a story of one of them which the New ork Evening I obi Saturday Magazine's special war cor respondent has sent over with the ex planation that it was all he could get past the censor at this time. A Ber lin paper reports that a quiet street in Charlottenburg was suddenly ninrmprf hv shrill cries of "Police! Po- ' lice!" A great crowd promptly col I lected about the person responsible for j the disturbance, an excited young woinan, obviously American. "Arrest this man, officer," she said as soon as a policeman appeared. "I am Miss Ellington from Cincinnati, U. S. A., and he had the impertinence to speak to me." The policeman, guided by the young woman's accusing finger, picked out the culprit. "The man is a stranger to you?" he asked. " "An entire stranger," replied Miss Ellington. "I have only been taking violin lessons from him for six months." For the Human System.

"Why," replied the glowing bru nette, without hesitation, "the look of satisfaction on the faces In the audience." ELIXIR MAKER A GOOD TONIC And Driven Mnhirta Out of the S.retem.

Heavy pasturing of alfalfa Is not advised. The number of animals per acre should be so regulated that two or three small cuttings of hay may be taken from the field. This is nec essary to insure tender green growth for grazing. When little buds begin to shoot at the base of the stalk the alfalfa should be cut. In a very few days a fresh new 'growth makes its appearance. Overpasturing, without occasional cutting, also tends to in jure the crowns of the plant and even tually destroys the stand.
