A prominent Providence, R. 1.,
attorney tells the following story
of a colleague:
He always taps his immense
fund of funuy stories when II
court and never falls to put judge
and jury In a good humor.
Once he was conducting a ca3e,
and turning to the Jury madd
the following remarks:
"Don't put too much faith In
what my opponent says, gentle
men. When he begins to talk his
brain ceases to worK. He's like
the little steamboat down South
at the river town where I was
born. It had a five-inch boil'.r
and a seven-inch whistle. The
result was that when the whistle
blew the steamboat stopped!"

Q. —I am going to write you a plain letter, and I hope you
will answer it aa plainly.
1 have been working for two years, and in this time have
met a great many people; both at work and outside. Now I
have Just about come to tha conclusion that there is no "happy
medium" in the different kinds of boys. What is your, and
j "in* readers' opinion? Either you find that they are so fast
that you are almost stunned, or else they are so stupid they bore
you to death.
Usually they seem ail right at first, but most or the time
before you have known them two or three days you decide that
it is in'.-t to be an old maid for a while at leaHt. They seem to
take it for granted that every girl Is crazy 'I'mut them and give
you to understand that you are honored In their company.
Ugh!
Every day, Miss Orey, you will find girls who are perfectly
decent, you may say that It la all right to stay at home, or to
pay your own way places, but really this gets tiresome.
I hope I have not written ton much to print, but this is the
case all over, and I think a good answer by yourself will help
lots of us, and get the opinion or others who have tried and
know this new generation, so we cuu find out If there are really
any "betwixt and between." AN AUMIKKR.
A.—ln honor to tho memory of those lioya who were my friend*
when a gh I. boys who were mentally, morally and physically clean,
but not stupid; out of nisi In* to tin- men who are my friends now,
anil to those 1 meet in my dally walk of life who are kind, sincere,
intellectual and upright; not dull, conceited or seirish, I feel It my
duty to contradict your statement that there are no men or boys good
enough for a good girl. Unn'l infer that all the boys and men I have
ever come in contact with were good. I believe I have met more
who were not. None of them were perfect; but I have met enough
who were as good at, the beat women I ever knew to tlioroiighly ••on
vlnce myself tliat ther Is such a "happy medium' 'as you descrll>e,
and ua many "betwixt and between" men at. there are women.
If you will observe iiiimiin nature closely, you will soon discover
that people as a whole, tlie wide world over, are inteni|>erate In all
things. They go to one extreme or the other. I attribute tlie wide
spread Immorality of which you speak among young people nowadays
to nothing more tlian tlie Intemperance In dress of our glrla and
young women. Intemiierance In dress makes them lnteni|ierate in
actions, and very often causes a boy to misjudge a well-meaning girl,
urn not saying that this la, or ls not, the case with you; but never
theless, I feel sun- that In some way you are at fault, unconsciously.
You have stated your opinion; I Imve given mine, utid after nil,
we are only two among a world of billions of people; consequently,
our opinions do not stamp as false or true the actions of those wo
have been discussing; it would not bo just to measure the world by
our handful of acquaintances.
I will be glad to print anyone else's opinion on this subject.
Q. —I am a boy of 17 who has lived in the country until re
cently. lam troubled with blackheads and pimples. Could you
give me a safe remedy to remove them? I_. S. S.
A.—This information waa in-lnti-d recently. Send self-addressed,
stamped envelope and repeat request.
q_—win you kindly tell me what will remove leather stains
from white stockingß? % SUBSCRIBER.
A.—Scald in hot water to which a liberal amount or washing
soda has been added.
Q. —I am one of three married Hiters. The oldest ls in the
same circumstances as myself. She has her own home and a
comfortable Income. The other, although married ten years,
has nothing. Her husband's money ls spent over the bar treat
ing the "boys" while bills remain unpaid. Food ls never lack
ing, but she has nothing she can call her own. At any objec
tion to her husband's conduct, he becomes a raging tyrant and
threatens to wipe the three of them off the earth. Among stran
gers he is affable, smooth-tongued and gentlemanly.
Atter ten years of this lire, my sister and her child are ner
vous wrecks, while her huaDand Is healthy and hearty, drink
seeming to have no effect on his constitution.
We have talked to him many times, even threatening him.
Each time he will swear to God that he will do better, but he
soon forgets. My sister either loves him or ls afraid of blra,
for she will not leave. Her health is very poor.
Her clothes and amusements have come from my married
sister and I. We do not want to Bee her sufrer for little pleas
ures while we hav»e everything.
Do you think we are encouraging her husband to depend
upon us? Shall we let her sutrer ror the ordinary necessities
and small luxuries or shall we furnish the things that ls her hus
band's duty to obtain in order to make her comfortable?
TWO SISTERS.
A.—ln a way, It would seem that you are encouraging your
sister's husband in his selfishness and dissipation. Then again, such
a scoundrel would no doubt neglect his wile and child Just tlie name
even though you did not relieve him or any of Ida responsibility.
Your sister Is really the only one who can change conditions.
She should put the law between her and her husband and then foroe
him to do his part. If she refuses, there is little else you can do.
Q. —We have had an argument and are not in a position to
secure the information here which would settle it satisfactor
ily. Perhaps you can give it to us.

Just as you are a part of the great
Nation of the United States, so are you a
part of your municipal community.
If we were at war with another Nation,
what would you think of a townsman who
deserted your flag, went over to the enemy,
, and fought against you and your people.
The conditions are exactly the same if
you buy out of town, instead of buying from
your local merchant.
Don't forget, your interests are better
conserved, if you stick to your own people.

To clear up and whiten the
■kin and secure that charm of
pink and white youthful fresh
ness so much dealrej by all
women you will rind It far safer
to rely upon a good face lotiol
rather than powder. To get rid
of that shiny and muddy ap
pearance In your complexion,
dissolve four ounces of spurmax
In one-half pint hot water, and
add two teaspoonrula glycerin.
Apply this to your lace, neck end
arms, rubbing gently until dry.
Tint, lot'on does not show oi tub
orr like powder and is much bet
ter. It is splendid lor removing
tan, Ireckles, pimples and sallow
ne.«s.
Yon can make a delightful
shampoo for a very trifling cost
if jott get from your druggist a
package or canthrox and dlssoha
a teaspoonrul In a cup or hot
water. Pour a little at a time
on the scalp and rub briskly. T'lla
creates an abundance of title*,
white lather that thoroughly dis
solves and removes all tiandrufr,
excess oil and dirt. After rinsing.
the hair dries quickly, with a

a rich luster and a softness that
makes arranging It a pleasure.
