Miss Brooks. Ceorge is so very attentive and thoughtful, and it is this quality I like to much. But gradually he has become to regard me more intimately until he asked me to marry him. He is forty years old ivhile I am only 21, but in spite of this he is very romantic. .Nov, he vill not take no" for an ansver and oh, hov I hate to disappoint him. He has said over and again that I am the most glorious thing that had ever entered his life, that he vould never care to go on alone vith-ome and vould have nothing more to live for. I have seen despair manifest Itself in boys before, yet )Lhey vere younger and I nen they vould get over it nicely. Somehov the thought occurs to me so many limes, that Ceorge might commit suicide. Rather vould I do anything than to have caused such a tragic, despicable, surely dreadful thing. Yet, I cannot feel 1 should marry him as the disappoint, ment vould be. greater thenl vhen he learned I did not love him then comes the fear that probably I could not kep such a von a lifetime; vhen I became bored, a half hour seems a dreadful age vhai of a LIFETIME? Yet, I DO like his loving me. Probably; I should have married him, had it not been for my family, vho highly disapprove of him and, veil, J guess their argument IS only reasonable, i. e.f he cannot , at this time, support a vife in any fcind of moderate comfort, I vill try to pul this from my conscience until your ansver appears. Oh, please, may I hear from you as soon as posible? Yours disconsolately, AMBER, Dubois, Idaho, f dear .disconsolate,- - sheer up. j can't believe it can be half as' bad as you seem to think. In the first place you infer that you do not love George. If so you should by all means tell him about it. In the consideration of marriage, disparity of age should not be of nearly so great importance as that of whether you have a similar viewpoint on the essential things of your every day life. Age is largely a matter of thought Many people are younger at forty than ethers are at twenty-onBeware of the man who says he cannot live without you. That is selfishness. In most instances they manage to get along quite nicely, and I wonder after all if it is worth the trouble to try to prevent them from committing such a tragic, despicable, dreadful thing. How do you fed about it by this time. It isn't a bad idea to consider your family's viewpoint They are quite trustworthy as a rule and are thinking only of your interests. Here is wishing you the best of hick and may happiness attend you whatever the outcome. Please do not let it hang on and permanently injure your health.

One cannot help wonder If there l truth in the claims of some historians and archeologists that the Seminoles are descendants of a race whose roots go back to the beginning of history. Here lies the real interest In the Seminole Indian. It is without doubt a long flight from the palmetto-thatche- d wigwam of the Seminole Indian In the Everglades of Florida to the tents of early Palestine or the temples of ancient as the Idea Egypt But may be, and long the flight It is easily iqgge ,lt om is gifted with an f It requires little Seaysilr enable one to find clues that s line writers declare are good ones, to enable one to trace the lineage of the a tuag-lnatton- . barefoot Indian that strolls the streets of Miami to the halls of the Montezuma of Mqxlco and thence to Egypt or Palestine. There Is much about the Seminole that differs from the redskin of the West. There Is much that savors o t the Hebrew In the days when the book of Leviticus laid down the rules of health for his guidance. The Seminole might have copied from the Mosaic laws, according to those who know him best, so much alike are his riles concerning these things. Archeologists, delving Into the rnlns of ancient Mexican temples and exploring Its pyramids, have found many things similar to others found in the rained temples of Egypt and the pyrad mids of "that land; and have the Seminoles with both. We are told that when Cortes conquered Mexico certain tribes left that landrand for years wandered along the gulf coast and finally made their appearance In Alabama, where Giey were given the name Creek. The Creeks finally worked their way into Georgia and after many years the Seminoles separated from them 'and moved Into Florida to escape the oppression of the whites. In their march along the gulf coast, the Mexican tribes were joined by and amalgamated with other tribes native to the Country through which tbfy passed.. It Is therefore presumed by some historians that the SemlneleSi who severed relations jrtth the other Indians were the original wanderers; the name Seminole is said ta mean wanderer. ; Some writers polat to the fact that there are In Mexico many pyramids, and that the only other country in which pyramids are found is Egypt. This, they think. Indicates that the Aztecs and Egyptians had the same esso-clate- .
