MEN'S SILLY IDEA
Too Many Think Themselves
"Matrimonial Bargains."
Notion That Spinster* Are tying In
Walt to Snatch Them Is Laughed
At By Writer In London
Periodical.
"ion lake euro, old bean} there are
three daughters, and a fellow hue to
bo Jolly careful When mother* are
about."
lie wit hi it very young mau, and hla
position in life nothing to crow about.
But he'd put himself on" the hurgain
counter of life ever since he read
that there Wore sewn women to every
man, remark4 a writer In London An
Hwei'M. . 9
A good many men have grown In
Mated ahout their own value since all
the talk of surplus spinsters, hm.i
Some of them go ahout with their
hearts In urmor plating, fearful lent
some designing spinster may "catch
them." The knowledge that they're
not In a position to keep a wife makes
no difference; they Imagine that inen
are so scarce that any girl would snap
at them.
And the poor spinster looks on and
laughs. She Isn't in nearly so great a
hurry to wed as Mr. Young Man thinks
and she's really rather particular ahout
Che bargains she picks #p, knowing
full well that not all things so labeled
turn out to bo genuine bargains. She
In her turn, In spite of the man short*
ago. 1)us the Idea that she Is an Im
portant person. Both young men and
girls are getting rather fond of label
ing themselves bargains these days.
You see, many girls have come on of
late years. They are earning ample
salaries and hold good positions for
which they have qualified themselves.
It Is true that In some instances they
got those positions because the men
were away, but not In every instance;.
Many a girl has won through sheer
merit.
If one looks at the bachelor women
? of today the inflated Idea which so.
many young men have of themselves
does seem rather silly. A girl who Is
In a good post would have to give up^
a lot for marriage; not that she would
mind that If she loved her man.
Then, too, she may have got together
qult.e a nice home of her own and, al?
though there aro times when site la
rather lonely, still, she manages to
have quite a good time on the whole.
The man who won her would And that
little home, ready made, a boon In
these days of highly priced furniture.
Small wonder that the bachelor girl
rather resents the outlook of the young
man of today., She doesn't like his
bargain-counter attitude, although she
errs in the same way. She Is a far
more Independent person than was
even her own mother, and she knows
the value of freedom along with the
drawbacks.1
She also knows Just exactly what
she wants In a man she could murry
and, what Is more, If she can't get
what she wants she Is ready to remain
a spinster to the end of {he chapter.
The young man who labels himself a
bargain rarely comes up to her Ideal
and Ideas. cr .
Let's have a little less of the bargain
counter, Mr. Young Man and Miss
Bachelor Girl. The great rule of "give
and take" still holds for happiness and
there's tlner pleasure lit giving than in
taking.
' Strange Pledges.
A little while back an airman, who
evidently found himself In temporary
dlflloultlCH, paid a visit to the Mont de
Piete, as the state-owned pawn
broking establishment In called in
France, and offered a new monoplane
In pledge. He was told, however, that
the "article" did not appear In the
schedule of goods that could be ac
cepted, according to London Answers.
A menagerie proprietor conceived
the Idea of raising money by trotting
his elephant round to the "Lombard"
?the Brussels name for o pawnbroker.
After a good deal of persuasion "un
cle" agreed to advance ?20 on the big
beast, which was deposited In a yard
at the roar of the establishment.
There he remained four days and
at the end of that time he wos led
back to the menagerie.
Big Bruin Falls In th< Catskilla.
Kugene Kerr, the nged guide who
was with the Olney Redmond party
on their bear-hunting expedition In the
interior of the Catskllls, told Mr. Red
mond that the bear he took In the
Peek nmoose region, town of I>emlng,
was the largest one of the "Racer"
?pedes that be had ever seen, and Mr.
Kerr has been living In that section of
the Catskllls nearly all of the sixty
tight years of his life and Is said to
have taken more than forty bears In
that time. The animal Is said to be an
unusually fine specimen. It measures
T feet 3 Inches from tip of Its hind
feet to the point of Its nose. Its weight
is estimated at between 2.V) and 300
pounds.?Cwtsklll Mountain News.

NEWFOUNDLAND RICH IN IRON
Knouoh Ore There to 8uppty the World
for at L*a?t a Century, If
Not Longer.
Lord Morris In a lecture at St John's
Wood Presbyterian church. Marl
borough place, London; described thSl
development of Newfoundland for the j
last 400 years, "from the time of the
early colonizers up to the day when
that great captain of Industry, Lord
Northcllffe, established the groat paper
mills that are now supplying the Times,
the Dally Mall, the Dally Mirror and
the Sunday 1'lctorlnl with paper."
He said that In Newfoundland today
there were many paper "propositions'*
quite as attractive, if properly do*
veloped, as that of I^ord Northcllffe and
his brother, Lord Itothermere.
There were also, sufficient fish on
the Newfoundland banks and along the
Newfoundland and Labrador shores to
feed the whole of the British empire.
They had only touched the fringe of
that great fishing Industry In which Igy.

land.
Lord Morris drew an attractive pic
ture of wonderful mineral possibilities,
showing that Newfoundland was the1
second largest producer of Iron In ths
British empire, England coming first
There was enough Iron ore to supply
all the needs of the British empire and
of the world for the next hundred
years.?London Mall.
Headline* and Hosiery.
Newspapers are said to be a com*
fortable covering for ben$hwarmers;
but who ever heard of stockings made
out of that material? As a matter 6f
fact the product that goes to make
your favorite Journal and artificial silk
hosiery "that you can't tell from real"
la exactly the same. You can now lay
the dangers of deforestation at the
door of the economical fair sex as
well us the Journalist tribe, for both
stockings and wuxtrles are made from
wood pulp. ? -?
This last year 10 million pair* of
MMlk stockings so made were exported
from the United States?between twg
,nnd three times as many as In 1918.
Manna Not Heavenly.
Strange to stumble upon a quotation
about manna In news of the drug and
chemical trades! The children of Is
rael. we know, were saved from star- j
vatlon In the desert by It. It fell from
heaven, was small like coriander seed,
and tasted like wafers made with
honey.
However, the actual manna of trade
today comes from Incisions In South
European trees and It Is now reported
to have been quoted higher than pre
viously In the primary market. The
demand has Increased of late, espe
cially for small flake manna, which Is
the better quality, coming from the
upper part of the stem of the tree.
