The stent of heather In the month of May
Brings misty vision of the surrey hills.
While roses in a bowl not far way
Ullnd with the memory of a month that thrill.
The pungent odor of the new mown hay
Brings drift smoke from the meadows of the years.
While Incense cells the chanting of a lay
A sacrifice and eyes that smart with tears.

By ANN USLE.
He who walks blindly forward, eyes downcast,
Thoughts tar away from any objects passed,
Consumed with self, will some day wake to find
His heart a atone, his eyes gone truly blind.
He who looks upward when the skies are gray
Will glimpse the sunset at the end of day,
, And all his mean tasks wear a fairer guise;
Seen through the ttar dust shining on his eyed.
He who is yoked beneath a heavy load,
And must needs keep his eyes upon the road,
May feel the thrill of life about him sti!.
For wild flowers bloom around his casement sill.

In the first place you wont to realize
the great truth that thought are thing,
and that by dwelling on any Idea you can
produce a condition to correspond with
It. Space Is filled ' '
with Influence and

thought. Every time

you continue in this .

In the next place you want to culti
vate that rarest of all plants In the gar
den of -love common sense.
Mt down and consider the situation.
Why did your husband select you of all
women to become hta wife? -.Probably
became he loved you more than all others.
Well.' then, with his love and his daily
companionship to atart with, you here a
Krcat advantage over all rivals. Tou
have-the power In your hands to tan
this flam of love Into a ateady fire or to
quench It forever. - 4
However much a man may be imbuad
with senUment. ha Ues comfort and
peace .of mind a steady home diet. If
yon deprive him of those, your, sentl
nontal love Is of very little value to Um.
Every time you allow your unreason
shle Jealousy to tender him uncomfort
ably you lore pround with him and It Is
more pos.lble for him to turn elsewhere
for distraction'.'" "-
Added to this, you show yourself in an
unbecoming mood, and ha will be In
clined to contrast a sullen, tearful wife
with more agreeable women he meets
elsewhere. .
Whatever you may feel you ought to be
able to control yourself In the eyea of
the man you love.
A perpetually Jealous wife, remember,
la the most unlovable , object possible,
end If you feel your emotlona getting
iTyonrt control manasre to eecluds your
f't end cry it out alone. A good cry Is
often a tsreat relief to a woman. But K
wniiM V well to steam and bathe your
fs'.r before you allow your husband te
ice "yQU.
.' .Make up yo-jr mind that aowhsiw else
on ait;i sl.sil your husband find such
comfort, such affection, such cheerful
ness, such agreeable manners aa he finds
with you. I'nlesa ho IS the trashiest sort
of characterless being ' he is not going
to be disloyal to the woman who exhibits
all these qualltlea. ''
Try to become a good comrade to your
husband. Make him feel that he can
speak his opinions freely to you. that
you caa understand htm fully, and when
he expresses admiration of other women
brace yourself up and agree with him.
Brace yourself ' still further, and show
.polite attention to the women he admires.
Nothing will more fully convince him
that you respect his tastes and that you
have- confidence In your own position
frumcient tn admit his friends to your
regard.
ince you love him so devotedly and
are so morbidly jealous this will be
'difficult task for you. But love Is full of
hardships, snd the effort la worth mak
ing. .
Aside from this it Is a wise thing to
' stud carefully and closely the women
you fear aa rivals. Like a shying horse
when driven close to the piece of flutter
log paper which has caused him to snort
snd quiver with terror, you will become
calm, and self-possessed when you dis
cover on close eequalutanoe how harm
less are the women you have considered
dangerous rivals.
On the contrary. If you avoid and dis
parage them you will roster your Jealous
imagination and force your husband into
a rhivalrie drfenso of them, which will
be maddening to youx jealous heart. And
you will lower yourself In your husband's
esteem, while if you are agreeable and
attentive to his friends he will admire
a iwl reepeot you.
Talk to Mm of your pride hi his loyalty;
tell him that you realise the tepiptation
with hlch a man's life la surrounded
and praise, him for giving you reason to
reHfiect hm. In he la a manly ma a, he
will find greater happiness la being
worthy of your praise and pride than la
yielding to any passing temptation other
women may offer. If ou accuse him of
neglect and infidelity and nag htm with
your Jealous fears, you will drive him
to others for comfort and dislrictlon.
Avoid talking with other women about
falthlesa husbands who deceive trusting
wives. Many women have a mania to re
lute cases of infidelity, and jealoua
nte seem fascinated with the subject.
Avoid it ss you would Infection.
If obliged to listen to kiuli reclials
make a mental comment that yo'i have
heatd only uii siiu of tnc sluiy. You do
not know what cause the wives gave j
these husbands to become faithless. Many j
a seeming "devoted and trusting wife" j
has nagged her husband Into infidelity
hy her narrow, petty spirit of fault find- i
ii'g In small matters as one persistent i
mosquito has driven sleep from a luxuri- I
ous pillow. Think of this when you hear
of deserted or neg-leoted wives, instead
of becoming excited and morbid on the :
subject.
Almon all jealous pecple are selfish
j und unwilling to accord the liberty they
take. No doubt you receive compliments
from men with very good grace, and
quite likely ydu express admiration of
some mnn'1 appearance, conversation or
manners now and then. Why should you
object to your husband having tlio same
freedom? Try to be reasonable, my dear !
woman. 1 asauro you even a jealous i
woman can be reasonable If she takes I
herself In hand. If you do not tako your- i
self In hand you will alienate your hus-
band, ruin your own I If?, and make your- j
self a subject of ridicule to all your
friends rave a few, who will "sympa-,
thlce," and the sympathy of friends In ,
the place of admiration of a husband la
like sawdust In place of honey on yourj

"I am 23, and in love wtih a girl of C
and we have kept company a year and a
half. I want to ask her to marry me,
but don't know how to go about It" ,
I am II," writes C 'K., "and am la
love with a girl ofj 13. I know she is
anxious for me to propose, but I don't
know what to say."
A perplexed girl copies the following
letter from, a man who baa been paying
her soma attention: . . --,
"I have taken many unlioensed privil
eges in addressing you, although you
have given me sufficient good reason for
doing so, and aow you must tell me
candidly if I have a spark of a chance
In the race, or la there a way of making
myself worthy of one. As no doubt you
have a long string of admirers. Just use
that reasoning machine of yours and tell
me frankly. . Do not . ask for further
elucidation of this passage."
The poor girt wests te know what he
means.
A girl of It keep steady company with
a young man, but he says aothlng about
settling down. Is it her place, she in
quire to ask him or his to ask her?
' A man of a is In love with a girl about

O. wants to know if, after keeping

to declare his love, three months before
the time he has set to propose.
Constant Reader went to know how
to tell a girl he loves her: he has been

A proposal of marriage la something
that was never set by the calendar or
Clock. A man may decide that he will
propose next Sunday, and the chances
are he will propose Friday or Monday, or
find himself ens-aged without proposing
at all, marriage being one of those condi
tions into which the majority drift with,
eut any volition. Just as a boat drifts
down stream.
A proposal, in the time-honored and
love-ordained fashion, comes from the
man to the woman, thougrh how long this i
custom will continue In our present
feminist revolution, no one may way.
But all women who love, and who have

' A fascinating and very instructive book
mtght be written about horns. More dis
tinctively than any other part of the ani
mal organism, horns - are evidently In
tended for purposes of offense snd de
fense. They ere above all, nature's
weapons. . They . tell the story of the
struggle for 'existence which has always
gone on since the earth began to be in
habited. Among the gigantic animals of
prehistoric times and ancient geological
ages there were some that had horns of
extraordinary magnitude and form, like
the great triceratops, or "three-horned
beasts," of western America, which wore
Ita horns on a huge body helmet. But
there are many animals today possessing
horns hardly less remarkable for size and
shape than any that the primeval world
of giants beheld.
The horn id animals are among the no
bleat in appearance, end In .spirit, that
the earth supports. They are nature's
knights, aocoladed and armed by Its own
hand, . Among the sportaman's trophies
there are none of which be Is more proud
than the weapona of soma great antlered
champion of the Cervus or the Bos, the
deer, or the ox families, for there are
none the conquest of which requires more
courage and skill.' And so we find the
walla of every hunting hall and sports
man's club covered wtth the def lent arms
taken from the heads of stags, moose,
bucks, antelopes, buffalo, wapiti,- prong-'
horns, and other noble game animals.
Owing to the world-wide extent of the
British empire, English , army officers
bare always enjoyed unrivaled.' advan
tages tn the hunting of big game, 'and
perhaps the finest collection of horns
that exist anywhere are to be found In
England. Our photographs show some
that hang on the walls ef the Royal Ar
tillery mess at Woolwich. '
Two thins that especially impress the
observer in looking at these specimens of
fighting horns are the immense sise of
some of them compared with the heads
from which they spring, and the singu
lar shapes that. In' many esses, they as
sume. No doubt the extraordinary
curves possess some particular utility
that makes the horns more formidable
la battle than they would be If straight,
look, for instance, at the huge twisted
horne of the big markhor. or bearded
goat, ' of the mountalna of' Afghanistan.
Some .of these horns are beta ween four
and five feet In length measured along
the curve, although the average height
Of the animal Is only three feet at the
shoulder. One can' see at a glance that
such horns are not Intended for simple
goring, like those of a bull, but for get

Once interlocked, with their rough, cor
rugated surfaces increasing the friction,
two pairs of horns like those would not
easily come apart until one or the other
of the combatants had fallen.
Bomo of the big flghUng goats, like

While the primary purpose of horns
csa hardly be regarded ss snythlng other
than to serve aa weapona, yet In many
causes they' manifestly plsy part in adorn

possessed by the male. In that way they
give a sense of protection to the female,
which serves as en attraction toward
her companion. We cannot suppose.

Physiologically horns sre analogous to
those very dlssgreeable things called
corns. They are an outgrowth ot the
(plderniLa, Itke nails, claws and hoofs.
Ualr hvs a elmllar origin, and there are
casei, like tlrat of the rhinoceros, where
a horn plainly consists of a mass of
coarse agglutinated hairs supported by a
bony excrescence st the base. Internally
horn, differ In their construction, some
kinds being hollow, while other kinds
contain solid coies. .Oxen snd sheep
have hollow horns, and antelopes have
solid ones.
Antlers, strictly speakirig, are not the
same as horns, although they serve a
similar purpose. They consist of bone,
growing from protuberances on tha skull.
A stag's antlers are renewed every year,
falling off late In the winter. Antlers
are closely associated with sexual char
acteristics, and belong specially to the
male. Among deer, only ' the female of
the reindeer possesses antlers.

Both Cunningham and Blys paled aa
tnty saw that movement and what had
caused It. As by a simultaneous impulse
they took bar by the arm, on on each
aide, and turned her toward the corner
entrance near which they had eat.
"I won't go!" she declared and triad
to hang back, but they forced ber eut of
the door.
Nod Warner saw June's piteous fscs
ss she half turned It to ook back, saw
hr being kidnaped from under bis very
eyes, and, bursting 'through the group
which Impeded him, he made a dash
einotig the tables and across the res
tsura&t. Too late! He roai bed the coiner en
trance unl in tlrc.n to see Ulye s luxuri

June mi frantically determined that sh
would not go where they wers taking
her. Mrs. Vlllard was pale and psnlc
stricken, but the other three carried out
their pretense of laughing coercion. On

was a firm set to his thick lips.
There was no on ot the lonely dock
upon which the swiftly speeding
limousine stopped abruptly, no one to
bear or heed the call for help which June
tried to send up above the noisy laughter
of five of her companlona, for now Ed

hilarity. '
There was a cold, stern voice In June's

"We've had quite enough of this hys

It wss be who, with Orln Cunningham,
