If a man drops a piece of meat, no matter how clean the floor may lie. he will either give it a kick or pick it up and lay it to one side. He will never eat it. But let him drop his plug of tobacco on the ground and no difference how dirty ; the spot where it fell, he will pick it up and give it a careless swipe on his coat sleeve or on the bosom of his pants and then take a chew with greater relish than ever.—Ex. Newt. Vance took in the Ak-Sar Ben festivities at Omaha last week, going Tuesday morning and returning Friday evening. He heard our next president, Wm. H. Taft, at the Auditorium, 10,000 people being crowded into the building and thous ands not being able to gain entrance, and he was fortunate not only in being able to get into the auditorium but also in getting a seat within a few feet of President Taft while he was delivering his speech. He was ! most favorably impressed with the big man. The Society Editor sat in a large theasre a few nights ago and saw a famous actress. But he saw more thaq that, or her—he saw the theatre fill ed with women. The proportion of women to men was as great as ten to one. The disproportion was as striking as at the usual religious ser vice. And the question is, why? also, w here are the men? More and more the men and women are refusing to mix in a social wey. The women are filling the churches and the theatres and the lecture halls and indulging in receptions, pink teas and Kensing tons. The men—just where are they? "Father, dear father, come home with me now, the clock in the steeple strikes 10'’ They are at the ball game, the golf links, the club room or on the job. At any rate the sexes are undeniably drifting apart socially. Is it because the women art crowding i into the avenues of trade and into : the professions? Can the women tell? j This being Leap Year mavbe thev will give answer.—Fremont Tribune'. I Have Some for Sale. I have some fine young Poland ( hina Boars for sale. I don’t want to -‘butt in" but if vou can't find one that you like in anv other herd. I would sell you one rather than have you do without. A* J.
