jL p Life d/ Love, and ^
| IVhat It Depends On <?
* By Beatrice Fairfax S
] J OVE is the one thing in which every human being is lnter-?
ested. Scientists are interested in science, artists in art,
moneymakers in money, but to greater or less degree they
I X one and all are interested In love.
I You may be a disgruntled, sour old man or woman, but
"w + at some time in your life your heart has beaten Quicker at
1 the thought of seme one person.
KPp% Iti ? ? ? ? # Or, you may be a dreaming schoolgirl, or a rougn ana
tumble boy with a boy's hearty contempt for sentiment; but
your turn will come. Some day you will love.
Love is the one thing that makes the whole world kin.
Through all the millions of years, men and women have loved; and
through all the millions of years to come, tfcev will go on loving.
The strange thing about it is that the most wonderful thing in all the
world should be regarded as such a commonplace thing.
Hundreds of wise men and women ua"? written solemn discourses and
sentimental poetry on love, and yet today love is just as gossamer and iut&ngible
a thing as it was at the beginning.
It is at once the longest lived and the shortest lived thing in the world
It Is deep and it is shallow.
It is kind and it is cruel.
It thrives under neglect, and. again, it withers under kindness.
It is a garden rose, and an orchid.
It is ennobling. and it is decradine.
It is a thing apart from all other emotions, and it holds the whole world
In the hollow of its hand.
People continually ask me: "Miss Fairfax, what is love?"
That is a hard question to answer, because no one person can explain to
r another just what love is.
All people love differently. My way of loving might not be yours, nor
yours mine; and yet in her own way, each might love well.
But I have seen much of love. I have seen it thrive, and I have seen it
die; and about that I can tell you.
I have seen men and women kill love, inch by inch. Some have cloyed
it to death with sweets, others have killed it with bitterness.
Sometimes it has died hard; sometimes it has drooped and died at the
first blow.
There are many different ways of killing love. Perhaps you have killed
love. Perhaps some one has killed it for you.
Sometimes love goes limping along in a half-hearted way that is sadder
than death.
All those who would hold love must make up their minds to one thing,
and that is: That love must be all paramount; it must be the biggest, most
Important thing in their lives.
' It does not shut out all other interests, but it must come first.
In the articles to follow this you may recognize your own method of
killing love, or of keeping it alive.?From the New York Evening Journal.

Flonr So Dear Bakers Are*

IS THERE A VE(

Cto.t Yet Retailers Say tfc
Wholesalers Deny Th<
Chicago.?James A. Patten -was
rictorious again, when he was able to
sell more of his May wheat at the
record price of 51.38. The deal for
a time worked out very well for Mr.
Patten, but the real burden is being
borne by the people, who are working
hard for their loaves of bread and
are getting less and less for their
money every day on account of the
high price of flour, consequent upon
the advance in the price of wheat.
Bakers admit that bread is more
expensive than it has been for a long
time, although the increase is carefully
concealed from the buying public.
The retail price of bread is still
five cents a loaf, but if housewives
were to take the trouble to weigh
the loaves which they purchase they
would soon discover that they are
rapidly diminishing in weight, although
the size may remain the same.
Corpulent loaves can be manufactured
by a heavy charge of atmosphere,
but that counts for little when
it comes to assauging the pangs of
hunger. Bakers are not taking at
all kindly to the game of boosting
the stafT of life now being played on
the Board of Trade.
New York City.?While the Patten
bulls in wheat in Chicago rushed
prices up to war quotations, something
of the kind happened in the
local market for vegetables and
fruits. In Washington Market, for
instance, dealers were getting 57 and
57.25 a barrel for Bermuda potatoes,
as against 55.50 a year ago. Asparagus
sold at 55 a dozen bunches, as
against 53.25 a year ago, and let
tuce brought twenty-flve cents for
three heads about as big as a man's
hand. A year ago dealers were glad
to get ten cents for three heads. Cucumbers
sold for six to ten cents
each.
Apples are almost as scarce as
wheat. Seven dollars a barrel Is the
nominal quotation, but only the big
dealers have any to sell, and the best
are being sent to London. The New
York State crop .was badly damaged
by the dry spell last summer, and
when it was sought to put the apples
in cold storage they wouldn't keep.
Colorado apples were similarly affected.
Thousands of barrels, dealers
say, rotted and had to be thrown
away. The vegetable market has
I been stiffened lately by three severe
frosts in Virginia, which killed all
growing stuff, and the farmers have
had to replant.
The keeper of a small fruit and
vegetable stand In Washington Market
said that, while it would be deI
nied, he was sure there vu a trust
which controlled wholesale prices and
I had put them ud to the Dresent hiah
level.
"The United Fruit Dealers' Association
1b doing this," he said, "and
it tells us prices are going still
higher. Every dealer in this place
payB the same price. There Is no escape.
The bulk of the vegetable
stuff we sell at this season comes
from Charleston, S. C.; Bermuda
and Florida, both by rail and steamship.
Some stuff also comes from
California. There seems always a
scarcity, though now, after the Easter
demand has subsided, prices ought to
go down. The Virginia frost will be

It Is a Crime to Give or Take
a Tip In Washington State.
Spokane, Wash. ? Advance sheets
of the new criminal code adopted at
the rccpnt s??<nn of T

law, which provides that
"every employe of a public house or
public service corporation who solicits
or receives any gratuity from any
guest and every person giving any
gratuity shall be aullty of a misdemeanor."
i This was the first Intimation that
such r. law pas*':! the Legislature.

used now as an excuse for the high
prices. We are making no money at
all."
Several other dealers said they
didn't know whether there was a
trust or not, but they were aware that
prices for all garden stuff hadn't
been so high in a decade. One result
of the high prices had been to
force some of the small dealers out
of business. Quite a number of stalls
in Washington Market have "For
Rent" signs on them.
A member of the firm of John Nix
& Co., who are said to be largest
wholesale dealers in fruits and vegetbles
in New York City, and who have
buyers in California, Florida, Bermuda,
the Carollnas, England and
elsewhere, was asked about the
charge that there was a fruit and vegetable
trust.
"Never beard of it," he said, "and
there is no such trust. If any man or
set of men tried to corner the market
he or they would fail. There are too
many sources of supply. It is true
prices are high, but the demand is
here, and the law of supply and demand
rules.
"Naturally we get all we can for
our goods. My opinion is that the
uiuccib /vssocianon ib responsible
for the present high prices. Long after
wholesale prices have dropped,
grocers go on charging the high
prices irrespective of market conditions.
The consumer should trade
more carefully and not pay such
prices as are exacted. If he would
study the markets more carefully, the
grocers would soon find It out, and
prices would be more reasonable."
Owing to the high prices ruling
for potatoes, large quantities are
being shipped here from England.
The wholesale price of Southern potatoes
is now around $3.50 a bag,
the tarilT on each bag, seventy cents,
proving no obstacle. The steamer
Minnehaha brought in from London
: 54,000 bags of Scotch potatoes.
NO MORE CHEAP WIIEAT.
Head of Patten Corner Predicts Con*
tinued High Prices.
Chicago. ? James A. Patten responded
to a telephone" call from a
country miller who wanted to buy a
I round lot of cash wheat. Before
leaving the telephone booth he personallv
sold KOOft hnnhola Mn 9 rail
wheat at 11.38, free on board cars
here, which is the highest price of
the year yet accorded for this grade.
He expressed himself as being decided
bullish on July wheat, believing
it will reach even a higher level
before the next harvest than yet recorded
for May contracts. He believes
all of the new crop months,
which are now at a great discount
under cash wheat, will have a big
rise in values.
"We will see no more cheap wheat
in this country till there is more extensive
production to meet the growing
consumption demands," continued
Mr. Patten. "I see little chance
for this increase in production in this
country this year because farmers all
over the Northwest declare there is
more money in raising oats and barley
than putting the land to wheat."

I ' 11 - > |>crmit as much ,
c - possible for the

t' the nrineinlo of
a protective tariff for its industries. (
Under the conditions which will arise
from the enactment of the tariff bill ,
pending in Congress, which provides
under certain conditions for free (
trade between the Philippines and the j
United States, the revenues of the j
islands will be considerably affected, j
and numerous protests have been re- ,
ceived here on this acount.
The message was submitted to both j
houses of Congress shortly after they
convened. Generally speaking the bill
submitted by the President makes a ,
slight increase in the rates of duty
now provided in the PhiliDDine tariff. ,
but its framcrs say its tendency is to
insure as far as practicable the bene- j
fit of the Philippine market for
American manufactures and products. .
