i Life's Table d'Hote i-
By ADA PATTERSON
We expect of life what we admire in a
woman's figure. To give completeness of
praise to each we Bay: "It is well rounded.
It is symmetrical."
That is the reason a normally con
structed person avoids a genius as steady
comparison. A private secretary who
had been employed by two of' the famous
men of this country for her entire long
period of service, said when married:
"Thank heaven, I've married an every
day man. I don't care who says ho, Is
commonplace. He Is restful. I havf. had
enough of geniuses."
The genius is at his best, a lopsided
person. He ia warped, one sided, over
done. He ,1s a human leaning tower of
Pisa. We admire, him. but find him try
ing as a neighbor br associate. He is so
unexpected. For tljftt- comfortable state
of mind we, call peace we prefer the well
rounded, harmoniously developed char
acter. The genius fs a steady diet of the unex
pected, Ho is like eating meat only, or
like titrlving to keep awake on black cof
fee when nature cries for healthful sleep.
Which brings mo to pur title, "Life's
Table d'Hote."
In New York and-other of the Jagest

well 'assorted, so finely balanced, that
they are extremely nourishing. They are

causages und wee fish to stimulate the
appetite, a far better stimulant than wine,
be it said with truth. There follows a
.soup, Into which marrow bones has In
stilled Its strength. There Is a dainty
'entree of a wee morsel of delicately
cooked meat or fish, garnished by a few
green vegetables. Thero comes next a
roast with a leaf or two of lettuce dressed
with vinegar so sour that it gives a tang
to usually insipid salad. There may or
may not be a sweet, for French and Ital
ian cnoks cater to American taste with
sweet desserts. They know they are es

and a tiny cup of black coffee, and- top-,

the body needs for repairing waste tissue
and rebuilding Itself, for energy and en

What those dinners ask of their cook we
ask of life. We need variety for the
balanced mind and character as the
body needs a variety of food.

-"I called on a girl a number of times,"
a young man writes, "and I found her
very agreeable, and I admit I made love
to her.' I had no Intention of being seri

In love with me. As I do not want to
marry her, what can I do?"
But that Is the very thing you must
do. A man so fascinating as yourself,
who calls on a girl a few times, and lo.

that this needless slaughter of female
hearts may cease.
Safely married to a young woman who
realizes what a dangerous person you are
to be at large among weak, fultterlng
female hearts, you will never again havr
opportunity for making a few passes at
a girl with a wave of your hand and

So long as you remain single this trail
of women's tiearU strewn, crushed and
bleeding In the path you have trod will
continue to grow. For the sake of the
women helpless before your charms; for
the sake of a nation which cannot prosper

you must marry, and marry at once.
I admit that you will mako many sacri

your temperament to confine all your love

times you Will be aghast at the sacrifice
of limiting all your fascinations to tho

The Mecklenburg declaratton-the first
expression of that spirit ot reslatance to
British rule which finally resulted in the
independence of the united colonies was
passed 1SS years
ago, "May 31, 1775,
by the people of
Meoklenburg
county, South

colonists rebels

occupation ot Bos

coats and the evi

the part of the
British government to force the Ameri

lenburg farmers tp a high pitch of ex
citement and meetings were held through
out the country.
Representatives from each of the nine

to the' delegates convened at Charlotte.
After a spirited discussion, whlchMaatod
far into the night. It was decided Unan

declare for Independence. A committee
was appointed to draw up the resolutions
and the meeting adjourned to meet again
on th following day.
The resolutions, prepared by Pr
Kphralm Brevard, were read, passed
without A dissenting vote, and the county
of Mecklenburg had severed all political
allegiance to Oreat Britain.
The rcaolutlons decreed that all com
missions granted by the' crown were null
and void; that no authority other than
that of the continental congress and the
provincial congresses existed in any of
the colonies; that military officers were
to be elected fho should hold their com
missions independent of Oreat Britain-
Although the Mecklenburg resolutions
wars sent to Philadelphia, they were not
officially brought to the - attention of
congress, and no reference was made to
them in the proceedings of that body,
but the work that had been done at
Charlotte was too great to be covered up!

The Hog
little is known, as no ono has ever been
sufficiently brave to voluntarily get doss
enough to one to study its ways. Ita
most obvious characteristics appear to bo
a voracious appetite, which it satlsffea
by means of shoveling food down its
throat with a knife, and ita ability to
gel both forefeet in the dough trough and
keep them -there.
The male Hog invariably has a circu
lnr protuberance, resembling a hat, o
its head, which it never takes off in the
presence of ladles, and it carries a half
lighted cigar, preferably of the smelleritlC
brand, In its paw when entering publics
places. It also sits on the bock of IU
neck, thus saving the price ot shoa shines

of the women who pass by.
Another notable characteristic ot a malt

it uses with great
effect in theater
and restaurants,
thereby calling at
tention to itseli
and spoiling t h
pleasure ot every
one within earshot
There are a great
many varietle sol
Hogs, the most
common and blood
thirsty being what
Is commonly called
tho garden, or sub
way Hoe. This vo
racious beast may
be seen at its best
during the rush hours of the day and
night, trampling down the. weak and
feeble, and crippling and bruising qld
women and children, as, with a snort of
Jcy, it ploughs its way through the crowd
and aelses upon the ono vacant seat In
thn car, where It calmly reads a new
paper, while tottering old ladles swine
perilously on straps. 1
Other oholce varieties of swine art
known as the Drummer Hog, tho Hotel
Hog, the Public Library Hog and the
Lunch Room Hog. These all have merit
peculiar to their breed, and ore worthy
rivals of the Bubway Hog,
There are also
many Lady Hogs,
who are even more
to bs feared than
the Men Hogs. In
dead, it waa con
cerning the Lady
(Hog that Kipling
penned his famous
line, "The female of
