When two women get into an
argument the one who talks the
fastest wins.
Lincoln began his career by
splitmg rails, and Roosevelt ends
tns by spliting a party.
It's pretty hard for a bachelor to
keep his equilibrim in a hammock
unless he’s by himself.
Men who are in the public eye
get a hard fall when the public
does a job of winking in concert.
There is very little difference
between discretion and cowardice
it all depends upon how much
cash you have.
“Don't worry about the future.
We'll all get just what’s coming to
us," says the Cincinnatti Enquirer.
That's just the reason why most of
us persist in worrying.
A woman writing to an exchange
complains because women use so
much perfume, saying that it is not
ladylike to use perfume in such
quantities that it may be smelled
at a radius of fifty feet. However,
it is sometimes less trouble to use
perfume than it is to take a bath.
One of the things in the political
game that makes one weary is the
continued statement that there is
no bosses in some political parties
As a matter of fact there is a
“ boss" in everything, including the
game of politics as played by Taft,
Roosevelt or Wilson. Politics
couldn't win without organization,
and an organization is worthless
unit ss there is a boss behind the
g :ns. Many political bosses are
j ) worse than other bosses. Much
r. the talk about the evil done by
the "bosses” is buncombe mere
drivel, used for obvious purpose.
Lou Beauchamp, the lecturer
■who makes people laugh and cry.
stated recently that he had trav
eled 11,000 miles during the
thirty-seven years he had been on
the public platform, having spoken
in all the states in the United
States and in nearly every country
on the face of the world. During
the course of his lecture which is
devoted to a discussion of what is
to become of the boys and girls he
makes the statement that 70 per
cent of the criminals of the coun
try are boys under 23 years of age;
that 75 per cent of the murders
are committed by boys under 25
years of age; that 92 per cent of
the girls who go wrong come from
families where liquor is used to ex
cess. proving that “the sins of the
fathers are visited upon the chil
dren, even to the third and fourth
generations.”
GiRL IS A RECLUSE
Young Woman Jilted by Fiance
Leads to Act.
Spends Her Time Working on Farm,
With Only Two Deer Hounds
For Her Companions—At
tires Self as Man.
Santa Monica, Cal.—Like a chapter
from a novel is the present career of
Miss Alma Pitlinzer, a handsome
young woman, who, wearing male at
tire, is living the life of a recluse,
apart from all relatives and friends,
In the beautiful Topanga canyon, eight
miles north of this city.
Several days ago a friend of the
young woman’s father, who was a vis
itor at one of the mountain resorts,
recognized her and urged her to re
turn home, but without avail.
Miss Pitlinzer declared she had left
all her old life behind and did not
wish to return.
I am living contentedly here, next
to nature,” she said, "free from every
one, and I do not care to go back to
the sham social life, where there is
no real happiness. All I desire is to
he let alone. Tell my people that I
am happy and contented here in the
mountains with my dogs aud ranch.”
Eight years ago the young woman,
who was then nineteen years old, and
had just been graduated from high
school, was living in a beautiful home
at Walnut Hills, a fashionable suburb
In Cincinnati.
She was one of the belles in the
younger social set, and a short time
after her graduation was betrothed to
a young lawyer of that city, the mar
riage to take place the following
year. Miss Pitlinzer was happyy at
her contemplated wedding and took
pride in exhibiting her engagement
ring to her wide circle of friends.
She had just begun to prepare her
weddlitg gown when her fiance be
came Infatuated with her chum and
eloped with her to Louisville, where
they were married. When Miss Pit
llnzer received the news of the wed
ding she fell 111. The shock caused her
to have brain fever, and for three
pionths she hovered between life and
faeath. The young lawyer had called
on Miss Pitlinzer almost every eve
ning up to the day of his elopement,
and she had idolized him as a man of
the highest honor.
After partly recovering from her
illness, Miss Pitlinzer bade her par
ents good-by and left home, saying
she was going on a trip to California
to recuperate. She came to Santa
Monica seven years ago, and after
spending five weeks at the beach,
purchased a small ranch in Topango
canyon, three miles from the ocean
shore, where she built a two-room
cottage, being assisted in the work of
construction by an elderly Mexican,
who owns a ranch adjoining Miss Pit
linzer’s property.
Miss Pitlinzer has not worn wom
an's clothing since she built the home.
Except for the assistance given by
her Mexican neighbors she has clear
ed and cultivated the entire ranch
alone. She receives no callers, has
no friends and lives as a hermit.
It is only rarely that Miss Pitlinzer
leave# the fanch. Her only com
panions are two large deer hounds,
which are with her almost constantly.
The animals act ns a bodyguard, and
whenever a curious person attempts
to reach the cottage the onrush of
the hounds soon causes the Intruders
to make a hasty retreat.
MAN MAKES HIS OWN “‘RAIN’’
Woodbury Farmer's Little Irrigation
Experiment Works Well In
New Jersey.
Woodbury, N. J.—While the frequent
rains have diverted attention from ir
rigation to some extent among farm
ers, yet this up-to-date method of farm
ing is bound to come in south Jersey
sooner or later, and the matter is be
ing discussed at all gatherings of
farmers. The irrigation plan of Arthur
Seabrook, in Cumberland county, has
been visited by men from all over the '
country, and they are delighted with ;
the results.
Dr. John C. Cury, former councilman !
of this city, who has a small truck gar
den surrounding his pretty home on
Holroyd place, Installed an experi
mental plant this spring, and it is now
in full operation. It is known as the ;
“overhead system,” and is operated !
every day with the best of results.
Two long lines of overhead pipes with
operatives at regular distances are
stretched the entire distance of his
lot, at the end of which a well is dug. :
The water is raised from the w^ell by
a gasoline pump and forced through
the pipes, which are so arranged that
they can be turned to throw the little
streams in any direction desired; wa
ter can be turned into a spray or
thrown out to fall like a gentle or
heavy rain.

That Hollow
Tooth
t
f
By CLYDE ARNOLD
i
:
That Paul Chatterton, wealthy, and
to be richer still, should wish to be
come a college graduate was only
natural, but that he should take the
course In dentistry and plan to set
up in the profession was an enigma
to his friends and a source of vexation
to his widowed mother.
“I wouldn't say anything about law
or surgery,” she would argue. ‘‘I
wouldn't mind even if you were a nat
uralist and went poking about after
snakes and bugs. If you had gradu
ated as a philosopher I think 1 could
have stood it, but dentistry, Paul
j dentistry!”
"My dear mother, where would you
: have got the half dozen false teeth in
j your mouth, but for dentistry?” he
| would reply.
But, society, Paul!”
"I know that there are very few
dentists in society. Society doesn't
invite him to its dinners and recep
tions because he alone knows how
many false teeth it has.”
The most the young man would
promise was that his sign should sim
ply bear the word “Dentist.” He
could have furnished parlors in the
city, but to the joy of the mother he
went 20 miles afield and hung out
his sign in a suburban village. Three
months pased and Mr. Paul Chatter
ton had not had a patient.
However, all things come to him
who waits, wrhether he Is a states i
man or dentist. A patient came to
Mr Paul Chatterton. He was out
with fishing rod one day, a mile or
from town, and on his way back to
change that sign to: “Come Right In,”
when he heard an auto coming up be
hind him and then a woman's
screams. As he wheeled about, the
machine ran across the road and into
a hank. The dentist ran back to find
a girl with her jaw tied up. He
couldn't be sure whether she was an
old maid or a fair young girl, but she
was in distress, and that was enough
As for the chauffeur, there was no
doubt about him. He was a young
man. He was even too much intox
icated to talk. He was taken by the
back of the neck and lifted down and
deposited on the grass, and then the
dentist took his seat, backed the ma
chine into the road and asked:
“Am I right in thinking you were
bound for the village?”
"Yes, sir," answered a girl's voice.
‘ Then I will see you safely there.
Your chauffeur is not exactly well.
Will It be to the depot?”
"No, sir, I want to go to a dentist."
"Oh. Case of toothache?"
“The worst kind. I've had it two
days and nights. My jaw is all swol
len up. Mother was coming with me,
but some company came at the last
moment.”
The dentist tried to get a better
look at the girl beside him. He liked
the voice, and he liked the half of the
face he could make out. He was al
so pleased with the Jaunty hat and
the brown hair under It.
‘Will you go to Dentist Roberts?”
he asked as they proceeded at a slow
pace.
“Mercy, no! Why, he almost pulled !
a girl's head off once!”
“Then to Dentist Brown?”
“No. He’s savage as a meat-ax. I
want to go to the new dentist. I have !
never seen him, but a girl friend told |
me he bad dreamy blue eyes, and that ;
she didn’t believe lie would hurt any I
body. My brother Sam has dreamy |
blue eyes, and you couldn’t get him
to kill a fly. Oh, I forgot to say that
I am Miss Lottie Morton. We live
back there in the house on the hill.”
Miss Lottie Morton was so taken
up with her toothache that she
thought nothing of his unlocking the
office door and changing the signs,
it was only when she had climbed in
to the chair and he had removed the
bandage from her jaw that she sat
up and said:
“Why, the new dentist—where is
he?”
‘I m ho, I'm going to be very gen
tie and sympathetic.”
"It's so funny.”
It was an ulcerated tooth. There
was a hollow lor the air to strike
down on a live nerve. The Jaw was
gently bathed for a time, and when
the tooth was examined the patient
was told that nothing could be done
until a poultice had reduced the swel
ling. She must come again in three
days. As the dentist had no pressing
work on hand, he would act as chauf
feur to get her home safely. With
his own hands he replaced the band
age, and by the time It had been ac
complished he realized that his words
to his mother might come true.
It n\as queer about that tooth, ft
wasn’t such a big tooth, and you
couldn’t have put a hickory nut In the
hollow, but Miss I.ottie had to return
again and again. Each time she
found the dentist more gentle and
sympathetic. As she related it at home,
not one single ‘'yank” had he ever
given her brown head. And the den
tist got in the habit of calling at the
house on the hill to see If the tooth
was all right, and the widowed mother
happened to have a lady friend who
knew all about him, and so one day
when the young man entered his
mother’s presence and saw that she
was about to begin on the same old
subject, lie forestalled her by saying:
"Mater mine, 1 promised to give i
up dentistry when i found something
better. If have found it. Thai is, 1
nave if she will say yes. She is my
first, last and heat customer, and I
want to take you down there tomor- i
row to call on her.”

Candidate for Governor
Opposes State Wide Prohibition
HON. JOE T. ROBINSON.
“I seriously doubt the wisdom of enacting a State-Wide Pro
hibitory law, either through submission or the legislature. Our
present local option system has stood the test of time and has been
both effective and satisfactory, while ’ State-Wide Prohibition has
not been enforced in localities where sentiment is against it. No
law can be successfully enforced in communities where a majority
of the people are not in sympathy with it.”—(Speech at Con wav,
January 8, ipi2 )
