Manager Kemmish were talking
over the other day, and they decided
that in time the legislature would put
a penalty of, say, a dollar each month
for the fellows who delayed securing
licenses. Something like this will un
doubtedly come in time, if the license
law isn't repealed, and any prospective
candidate for the legislature is wel

(London Opinion.)
Why do women like ugly men? At
least as husbands. If you examine
the averape husband carefully, ; ou
find that his face resembles a turnip
with the moth in it and the features
have not been acquired, but have len
thrust upon it, probably with the aid
of a shovel.
A man suggests that it is becaa. e of
the natural law that we all iho i.se
our opposites. All women are lovely,
wherefore the men they capture for
their own personal uses are invariably
iigly. But I doubt this. Women pre
fer ugly husbands because there is
les3 chance of their being stolen by
some other predatory female. A man
with a face like a collapsed blanc
mange can be left lying looe in any
ball loom ami will always be found
there when he's wanted again, where
as a husband with a profile like a
Greek god would be snapped up as
quickly as a blouse at a bargain tale.

apparently, but nevertheless they have
set some people to thinking. At a
large gathering of Lincoln people two
or three weeks ago it was noticed that
almost everybody danced and danced

tjfeven years ago the same organization
held exactly the same sort of a party.
Oidy a few couples danced. Most of
the people yawned and went home soon .
after 9 o'clock. I
The thing that has no connection
with this particular dance that anv-1
body can determine is the increase in
delinquency. . But the strict moralists
say that they are really cut off the
same piece of goods. The study of the
crowding of the state correctional in
stitutions made by the state board of
control makes the automobile a prime
cause of the trouble, with the movies
and the dance crowding along for
second and third place.
Some of the dancers at this party
were later discussing the change in
their own habits and asking each other
what it all meant. Some of them
belong to a church organization that
has always put the ban on dancing. I
"I learned to dance," said one staid
citizen, "so that I can keep in touch ;
with my children. I fisrure that they
are going to dance anyhow. I want to
keep in sympathy with them, and this
helps. I want them to think their
father and mother are not hopeless did
fossils when we join in their parties.
Maybe they will laugh at us behind ,
our backs, and think we are funny
freaks. Who knows ? I would give a
farm to be able to tell what to do to
bring up my children to make the sort,
of men ana women l would iiKe tnem
