"IAD.MEN" HAVE CHARACTER
London Writer Thus Explains Why
Femininity Is So Peculiarly Attracted
to Them.
Historians who try to write of prehistoric
times tell us that men won
women in those days by brut$ force.
Strength in man still appeals to women
tremendously, and she likes to find
her master, in spite of the vote and a
few other things.
Bad men usually show strength of
some sort. Maybe that is why they
are attractive to women.
Follow up the life story of any criminal
you like, and you'll find a woman
in the story. No matter how bad a
man may be, he can usually find a
woman who will believe in him.
Why do women seem to like "Bluebeards,"
or at any rate bad men?
Take any scoundrel you may know,
and you'll find that he has character,
although it is bad. He is untroubled
by scruples and conscience, so when he
wants a thing he sets about getting it.
This may explain why, in so many in^
- stances, a bad man steps in and wins
a woman where many good men had
hesitated. You cannot get away from
the old scientific law?"Like repels, unlike
attracts."
There is generally something forceful
about a bad man which appeals to
a woman as strength, something priml- j
tive and fine. She feels the personality
of the scamp, for he possesses personality.
Like the moth fluttering round
the candle, which gets scorched at last,
the woman who is attracted by a bad
man usually ends by being his.
She may even be aware of his badness,
and It does not repel her. In the
heart of a good woman there is alwaya
the desire to help. She imagines that
her power will be so great that she
will be able to reform him.
Women seem to glory in self-sacri
fice, and they revel in matting raarijr#
of themselves. The most cruelly treated
wife will rarely hear a word against
her mate. She herself will tell you of
his cruelty, but beware of how you
sympathize. It Is not for you to condemn.
Good women so often get the bad
men, whereas good men seem frequently
to woo women who are not worthy
of them. Human nature has many
kinks.?London Answers.

Is what has been going on this week

Tribune.
Elms, oaks, hackherries?thirty or
more of them?broad based enough,
some of them, to keep the municipal
/ logging crew busy for half a day cutting
them down, were marked for felling
when the city council voted for
widening the street.
But the oldest oak of them all, the
one that spreads its limbs in the center
of the grounds of the Sweet
studio, toes the mark at the very edge
of the boulevard to be and will be
safe from the municipal grub hoe for ;
years to come, according to the city j
engineer's survey. |
And where does all the elm wood
and oak wood and hackberry wood, !
product of the downtown lumbering'
activities, go to? That's the irony of |
fate for kinsfolk of the forests.

Real Mental Discipline.
A mind is disciplined, not by reason
of the quantity of related or unrelated
matter that has been displayed
before ii; or crammed into it, but when
It has learned to confront the difficult
with intrepidity, relying upon methods
of attack which it knows it can use j
with dexterity and precision because i
it has been using them right along, j
and which are in the available kit of
tools just as the carpenter's saw and j
chisel lie in his chest sharp and ready
for the grip of hi? hand. Mental dis- j
dpline is a matter of the quality of
instruction, and the quality of the
mental application demanded by the
instructor, rather than of the quantity
of subjects presented. Hence a
few proper subjects in qualified hands
are enough to make a start with.?

In No Hurry.
A boy was leaning against a post
when a man came by.
"What are you doing?" he asked
the boy.
"Nothing!" was the answer^
*uei any pay xur it;
"No!"
"Why don't you work? I can offtr
you a job."
"Regular?" asked the boy.
"Yes."
"And pay?"
"No," said the men?"not for the
first week, but the second week Td
pay you."
"Well," replied the boy, "I'm all
right here, so I'll come round the second
week!"
A Philosopher.
I confess I have a soft place in my
heart for that rare character who is
content with the world as he finds it
and who does not attempt to appropriate
any more of it to himself than he
absolutely needs from day to day. He
knows from the beginning that the
world could get on without him and
he has never had any anxiety to leave
any result behind him, any legacy
for the world to quarrel over. He is
really an exotic and his life is perpetually
misunderstood by hi? neighbors
because he shares none of their
anxiety about "getting oa in life."?
Charles Dudley Warner.
HIGH PRICES FOR DIAMONDS
Value of the Highly Desired Sparklert
Has Been Soaring to Unheardof
Heights.
The economic situation of the world
at large is said by jewelers to be
more responsible for the present high
prices of diamonds than any shortage
of diamonds in the South African
mines or any manipulation of the output
by the De Beers Diamond company.
The following figures concerning diamond
prices were obtained from Antwerp,
the European center of the dia- j
mond market An uncut diamond be- j
fore the war cost $23 a carat and $32 j
nnffinir v. nffpr the !
(UICI tlUllllf,. i ?
declaration of war, the price slumped.
In lOlo the Germans began to set j
nervous regarding the value of paper 1
money and started buying all the dia- i
raonds they could find. i
France. Switzerland. Italy and Eng- !
land followed suit and the price went j
til' rapidly. On the eve of the arm is- i
tire, an uncut carat diamond was !
worth $70. Since the war ended, the j
diamond market has boomed, owing to j
tin? depreciation of European money, i
tb-> difficulty of exchange and the em- !
bergo on fhe export of currency from ,
one European nation to another. To- I
day a carat of uncut stone finds a j
ready market at $1.70.
The Antwerp merchants no .longer I
[ seek customers. The market is swamp- j
I ed with buyers. Credit is no longer
given. The sales are for cash. The
buyer frequently resells and the new
purchaser sells again at fat profits.
Thus the price keeps going up. Large
stones are snapped up at unheard of
prices.
