THE UOCK ISLLVND ARGUS. MONDAY", TETntUATTY 2, 1014. HEALT Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am going with a, fellow for ' four years and lofw him very dearly. But some tiaa ago I met a girl and she did not hay any home, and as It was a very cold sight I took her home with ma. Now she Is telling my friend some very "harsh lies, which he believes, and tt is making my life very miserable. To yea think It very nice of her to do such a thing after me being so kind to her? What would you adrlse me to do, as It Is driving me frantic? I know he lorn me Tery dearly, but Is also rery Jealous. -MISS." ' When a person loves truly he will aot listen to stories about his be- ored. Jealousy does not mean true but self lore. If possible, let onng man see that he has made us mistake In listening to gos- Inst you. and unless be ran you and believe In you. you d be wise to give him up. A pldout husband who listens to ybody who will talk against his Is the worst kind of husband to ave. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I belong to a club of IS girls. We are to have a sleigh ride party soon and each girl Is to invite a boy. Expenses are paid by the girls beforehand. We will have an oyster supper. I do not like oysters and cannot at them any way. We pay by thplate for our supper. Shall I have to order mine and not eat it. or what shall I do? -MANY THANKS." ': If you are supposed to "treat some boy friend to the supper I'm afraid you will have to order one for yourself at the same time, even if you do not eat the oysters: you cannot make him feel uncomfortable, you know. But if it 1 everyone for himself. I see no harm why you should order what you do not want. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a MISCHA ELMAN PROGRAM.

(2) If you were my little girl I should want you to be In bed by 9:30 p. m. and up at 7:30 a. m. Of course once In a while there may be a varia tion, but late hours are always bad for a girl, especially while she Is growing. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young man 20 years old and have been going to see a girl about the same age. This girl says she likes me. but she does not seem to treat me just right She has too many fellows. When we are out walking she seems to pay more attention to the boys she meets and looks like she has forgotten that I am along with her. I like the girl and cannot tell whether she liken me or not. What should I do about this? "BLUE EYES." Perhaps you are too young for her. !"j-tja'ly a girl of 20 likes to go with a man a few years older than her self. And then some girls think It smart to not seem to pay any atten tion to the man with them, on the theory that he will admire them so much more if he sees how popular they are with the other fellows. Better be a little indifferent to the young wom an, and po around with other girls once In a while. You may find one you like better, and who is more consid erate of you.

AT GENESE0 FEBRUARY T2 Reoard Serum Farm as Insurance Against Loss on $4,000,000 Worth of Animals. For the purpose of devising ways of safeguarding Henry county's 14,000,000 annual hog crop the Henry County Live Stock Breeders' and Feeders' association will meet at Geneseo on the afternoon of Thursday, Feb. 12, The session will continue the work begun at Orion a number of weeks ago. when the matter of establishing a farm for the production of hog serum was first considered. From railroad stations In Henry county on an average 15 carloads of hogs are shipped every day in the year except Sunday, the total value. at prices which have prevailed in re cent years being approximately the formidable figure given. Under the circumstances it is not surprising that the live stock growers are willing to spend a tidy sum annually for in surance against sw ine plague, the state having failed In its efforts to supply serum for inoculation. Have Two Plans. Two plans are under consideration. One is to employ an expert vetrinarian to take charge of the serum farm it is proposed to establish. The other is to secure a competent agricultural agent for the county and place on his shoul ders the management of the plant, in addition to his other work. One of the biggest meetings of swine growers ever held in this part of the state is anticipated, as the Henry county men are thoroughly awake to the situation. BUSSORAH "A FILTHY TOWN.

The creeks, which are tidal, supply it with drinking water, but are nsed indiscriminately for all house hold purposes, and the stench arising from them at low water is -overpow ering. The governor general of the province of Bussorab had bis prirnte residence in the upper story of a flimsy lath and plaster edifice overlooking the main road. The walls of bis house could sot hsve been more than six Inches thick. and it was full of windows. The ground floor seemed to be a stable and was occupied by goats. As our carriage approached, churn ing up the mud which lay ankle deep and bumping over the hollows and ob structions which bad so far escaped the attention of a not too observant municipality, we saw the governor's bead appear at an upper window and that of a she goat at a lower one simultaneously. The governor, a middle aged man of dignified bearing greeted us gravely and kindly. From bis conversation he appeared to be somewhat of a pedant imbued with the chauvinistic tenden cies of the young Turk, and a harden ed bureaucrat. His excellency's salutations as be bade ns farewell were expressed with becoming gravity: "We trust that God may be pleased to preserve your ex cellency's health.

"To show you I always know what a good number it is, says tne wue of Senator Ransdell, "I will tell you that I came Into the world as the thirteenth child of my parents.

Mrs. Randall is the recently elected treasurer general of the Daughters of the American Revolu tion. She spends two mornings each week in her offices at Continental Memorial hall in Washington. Here the Tennessee, Maryland and Cali fornia rooms are given over for the transaction of the large amount of business that passes though her hands and she has a staff of nine efficient clerks. Every penny of the thousands of dollars disbursed annu ally by the great patriotic society is handled by Mrs. Ransdell and the office is one that calls for masculine business and executive ability. Mrs. Ransdell has served as vice president at large of the Woman's Nationaly Rivers and Harbors con gress and is deeply interested in the subject of the development of Ameri can waterways."

There can be no more useful help for discovering what poetry belongs to the class of the truly excellent and can therefore do us most good than to have always In one's mind lines and expres sions of the great masters and to apply them as a touchstone to other poetry. Of course we are not to require this other poetry to resemble them. It may be very dissimilar. But If we have any tact we shall find them when we bare lodged them well in our minds an Infallible touchstone for detecting the presence or absence of - high poetic quality and also the degree of this quality In all other poetry which we may place beside them. Short pas sages, even single lines, will serve our turn quite sufficiently. Take of Shakespeare a line or two ot Henry IV 's expostulation with sleep: Wilt thou upon ths high and Kiddy mast Seal up the ship boy'a eyes and rock hi brains In cradle of the rude. Imperious surge? And take as well Hamlet's dying re quest to Horatio: If thou didst ever hold 'me In thy heart. Absent thee from felicity awhile. And In this harsh world draw thy breath In pain To tell my story. Take of Milton that Mi! tonic pas sage: Darken'd so, yet shone Above them all the archangel, but his face Deep scars of thunder haf Intrenched, and care Sat on his faded cheek. Add two such lines as: And courage never to submit or yield And what Is else not to be overcome. And finish with the exquisite close to the loss of Proserpine, the loss . which cost Ceres all that pain To seek her through the world. These few lines, If we have tact and can use them, are enough even of them selves to keep clear and sound our Judgments about poetry, to save us from fallacious estimates of It. to con duct us to a real estlmnte.
