' Tht trial of a voune dentist in Richmond, Va, for the murder of his wife, rectus a Ions list of calamities following in the wake ot sucn clan destine affairs. One is tempted to ask if for any reason it is ever wise for a girl to conceal her - marriage? Granted there may be difficulties in the way of the young couple carrying openly and above board, it is more sensible for them to defer the ceremony un til it can be performed candidly and with dignity. Some, of the excuses, such as we could not afford a big wedding, are . too absurd to discuss. A girl is not ' marrying the world, nor her friends, nor a white satin gown, nor a point . lace veil, nor five bridesmaids, dressed in shades of the rainbow, nor anything else but the man of her choice. There is no occasion at all for wedding finery. It is perfectly dig , nified for a girl to be married in church or at home with no one but a couple of witnesses present. And with equal dignity she may wear what used to be known in her mother's day, as one's "best dress." Giving Up a Position. 1 If it is a question of money and the girl has a filing that , she cannot give up her position to marry, mod ern common sense recognizes the wisdom of tt keeping on with her "job" if it is necessary. Particularly during these busy war times, necessity has made many married worsen go to work, and where there are no; exacting duties ; at home, it is all the more, to their credit. A short-sighted policy once re quired a woman to resign a position as a school teacher or a government clerk when she married; but now, in the case of the school teacher, at least, a more liberal point of view sanctions her wedding if she an nounces it. Display is never necessary in the fied announcement, in the long run, will be better for all parties con cerned. -, , In normal circumstances, a young man in love is only too anxious to proclaim the perfections of his lady lair trom the housetops to the boredom of friend and foe alike. and when this delightful gushing into words is absent, there must be some reason not wholly to the young man's credit. When a young man begins to plead for a clendestine marriage it is well for the girl to be equally positive in her refusal. If he is ishamed to admit his marriage, his attitude toward his prospective bride is, at least, unflattering. 1 Case of Young Dentist. This appears to have been the case with the young dentist now on trial for his life at Richmond, who it seems was in love with another girl during the entire period of his courtship and marriage to his wife. V This brings up the extremely inter esting question: "May a man be in love with two women at the same time?" History would seem to prove that this may be true. There was the re markable and never understood case of Dean Swift, the brilliant English satirist and man of letters, and his love for the two women who figured in his life as "Stella" and "Vanessa." Both women were devotedly in love with the eccentric author of "Gulliver's Travels," and when Va nessa could no longer stand the strain , of the- uncertainty, and wrote to her rival for an explanation. Swift, into By Daddy-"The Giant of the "Woods" CHAPTER III. Princess of Birdland.

"Is he a really, truly giantl I thought all' giants were killed long ago. . "The Giant of the Woods wasn't," answered Mrs. Robin. "He has his castle in this forest. And it's filled with horrible dungeons, in which he has shut up the pappas and mammas of these starving babies, holding them for some awful fate." "Poor, poor birdies I" sobbed Peggy. "Are you a fairy?" suddenly asked Mrs. Robin, after looking Peggy over carefully. "No, I'm just Princess Peggy I" "The Princess! Oh, the Princess l" cried Mrs. Robin, just as Mr. Swallow had done, and she, too, darted into the woods calling at the top of her voice: "The Princess is here I She has come to save us." "How queer they act," murmured Peggy to herself. "They seem to have expected me. She puzzled over. the matter as she went on feeding the baby birds until her sandwiches were gone and they had snuggled down contentedly in their nests for a com fortable nap. Now Peggy became aware of a loud clatter of bird voices in the forest, and 'every voice was singing: "The princess is here lhe princess is here" From every direction came dozens and dozens of birds of all kinds, all sizes, all colors. They came swooping, fluttering down into the glade until it was alive with them thrushes, war biers, wagtails, orioles, finches, spar rows, woodpeckers, bluejays, kingfish ers, owls, turtle doves, bobolinks, and a host of queer looking birds that Peggy had never seen before. And all as they came bowed low before Peggy and chirped loudly: "Hail, princess! Presently an important looking woodpecker rapped loudly on a tree trunk and the excited chirping ceased. "Our princess is here," solemnly an nounced Mr. Woodpecker. "Hail, princess" , "Hail, hail, hail!" cried the birds to gether, while the sparrows grew so excited they kept right on crying: Hail, hail, hail, until the Wood pecked rapper for order. "Not too much hail," he chirped se verely. --"It's bad for the fruit crop." A great, wise-looking owl fluttered clumsily out of the woods. "Ah, Judge Owl, just in time," said the Woodpecker. "Princess Peggy is here, and we must place her on the throne l" "Hail, Princess!" said Judge Owl. Then he looked around fussily Where's the throne?" "Right in front of you," ssid the Woodpecker, pointing to a grassy mound. "Can t you see after 4 o'clock?" "It's before 4 o'clock that bothers me," replied Judge Owl, winking at Peggy as he led her to the mound. Here, your Majesty, is your throne. Peggy felt very proud as she pre pared to seat herself on the throne. But suddenly she remembered that she wasn't really a princess. She was too honest a little girl to deceive the birds. "But I'm not a truly princess," she Our New Puzzle Feature Your House in Summer A few more weeks and the shops 'will be gay with displays of summer furnishings, and the magazines will be full of new ideas and the season's .. latest styles for country houses. But what of the ninety and nine who have no country house for occupancy half the year? What of those who have not; even a tiny bungalow by moun , tainside or sea? And certainly, with most of us, it is one and the same house twelve months of the year. The question of timely importance then, is, "How can we make of it a summer home when summer days come?" .... -For there is no good reason why, -Decause we must live under the same roof month in and montkout, we need live in exactly the samenvironment, lmid precisely the same surroundings, winter and summer alike. A change , in the furnishing and general ap ; pearance of rooms with the advent of spring is as welcome and refreshing as mc ii can green 01 uie grass ana trees, and often no less beneficial than that change of air which the doctors tell us is so necessary once in awhile for our well-being. - And just- as home cooking tastes better when we come back to it after a iew weeks of hotel life, or the comforts of home are better appreciated after we have laid them aside for a time, so even our favorite furnishings will look better, ever so much better, in the autumn if we will put them for a little while in lummer dress of linen or chintz It often happens that a room thus decked out in cretonne or linen prints Is more attractive than at any other time of the year; perhaps because of its gaiety, perhaps because of the uni formity of idea. . ' The recent visit of the prince of Wales to Rome has led to a revival of rumors that the heir to the British throne may find a bride in the person of Princess Yolando, the eldest daughter of their Italian majesties, who has just entered upon her 18th year. - . . - ) 5 eaax l e3Ea Complete the letters of Simon's sign they will spell the name of an Amer- ican city.

She died shortly after, one of the few rare victims of a broken heart. No one has ever succeeded in solv ing the mystery of Swift's relations with these two victims of his lo . Did ho finally make Stella his wife in name only, as some of his biogra phers contend, and was his impending madness of which he seems to have been aware the cause of one of the great puzzles of English literature? For the glory of being associated with one of the great lights of Eng lish literature, perhaps neither of these women would have ordered her life differently, is she had the choos ing. But brilliant Dean Swifts are few, indeed, and when the average young man makes a suggestion about con cealing the wedding, it is usually from an utterly unworthy and selfish mo tive. If he is not willing to stand tip and acknowledge his wife before all the world he does not deserve to have one. Kills Potato Bugs. Nothing' does it quite so surely as Sherwin-Williairu Co.. .

After hearing what our men have done pn the western front, we are tempted to say there are none. ' Seldom does a man ever run away or break under terrible shelling or the wild fear of death. What a man will do in the stress of battle ap pears to depend largely on his vital organs. . Our boys on the fighting line are phy sically fit for military service, because only about one man out of five was chosen to endure the hardship of this fearful war. Very often the kidneys are to blame. To have strong nerves, a strong will and "pep," one should have good kidneys; otherwise a man suffers from backache, sleeplessness, or is troubled with nerves. Drive the poison out of the blood by taking An uric, double strength. If the kidneys are clogged with toxio poisons or uric acid, yon suffer from stiffness in the knees in the morning on arising, your joints seem rusty, yon may have rheumatic pains, pain in the back, stiff neck, headache, sometimes swollen feet or neuralgie pains all due to 'uric acid or toxio poisons stored in the blood, which should be swept out. Keep well by drinking plenty of pure water, and take Anurio three times a day for a month. Ever since the discovery of urie acid in the blood by Scheele, in 1775, and the bad effect it bad upon the body, scientists and-physicians have striven to rid the tissues and the blood of this poison. Because of Ha over-abundance in the system it causes backache, pains here and there, rheumatism, govt, gravel, neuralgia, and sciatica. It was Dr. Reros who discovered a new agent, sailed An oxic, which will throw oat and completely eradicate this urio acid from the system. Ammo has proved to be many times more; potent than tithia, and ewoaeqoentiy you need no longer fear muscular or articular rheumatism or gout, or many other dis eases which an dependent on an ac cumulation of urio acid within the bod.

Omaha Neb When Writing to Our Advertisers Mention Seeing it in The Bee confessed.. "It's just a name my father calls me." "Isn't yoar father an honest man?" rumbled Judge Owl. "Of course he is," answered Peggy. "And isn't he a wise man?" Judge Owl blinked sagely at her. "He's the wisest man in the whole world," declared Peggy proudly. "Then that settles it.. You are a princess," affirmed Judge Owl. "Be seated your majesty." As Peggy sank down on the floral throne all the birds bowed in homage, the Woodpecker handed Judge Owl a crown of leaves which he placed on Peggy's curls. "We crown you Princess of Bird land," he announced pompously. "Hail, Princess 1" chanted all the birds bobbing up and down. "Oh, thank you I" cried Peggy, deli cious tnrins ot pleasure running tnrougn ner neart. "Don't thank us. We will thank you when you rescue Birdland from the clutches of the Giant of the Wood," said Judge Owl. "Rescue Birdland I Oh, how can 1 ?" asked Peggy in sudden dismay, as she awakened to the fact that royal hon ors bring royal duties and royal wor ries. "You know best, our wise little prin cess," chanted the birds. "But I don't know s thing about it!" protested Peggy. "I never even heard of the Giant of the Woods be fore today." The birds looked at each other in a hurt and puzzled way. Peggy felt that she was disappointing them. Presently the , Woodpecker spoke up. "Know, then, O Princess, that the Giant of the Woods is a monster who has turned this beautiful forest into a garden of grief. He has killed scores of birds and made hundreds of others captive. All of us here mourn some dear relative or friend who has fallen victim to hisxruelty." All the birds were sobbing softly now. l ears came rushing to reggy s eyes. A solemn stillness filled the glade. At that moment a shrill shriek of alarm broke the silence. It came from nearby within the forest. An other followed and another. The birds in a frenzy of fear scattered to right and left. Peggy, startled and frightened, r,ose shivering to her feet.

Tin Sum Dial By JANE M'LEAX Half covered o'er with grassea and the aga Of centuries, deep In Its crannied stone. It lifts a dim and half forgotten page Of history that once was lived and known.

We are entirely justified in this belief from the U. S. Govern ment reports on the conditions existing here. Our property is located near the base of a great mound, 48 feet high, covering nearly 2,000 acres, erupted through great gas pressure. Wonderful Oil Fields exist in practically every county adjoining with similar geological formations. I In order to quickly raise drilling funds, we are offering the fair est, squarest of fer ever made the public. You receive full quarter acre tracts of our property for only $30, with warranty deed, giving clear title. We reserve the right to drill and pay you one-tenth of all Oil produced therefrom; 500-barrel daily production from your tract should earn you $36,500 per year. Half of profits from all wells drilled on our entire property to be divided proportionately among quarter acre tract purchasers. , Quarter acre tracts in adjacent counties, purchased originally for small sums, have sold from $25,000 to $50,000 each. Any one with the least bit of nerve will purchase our $30 tracts when our plan is fully understood. Come to our office and talk it over, or send for free bulletin with' complete explanation.
