Show CHARGED WITH FIVE Utah County Democrat FLEET ARRIVES PROVO - UTAH The Man to Choose. When a girl is about to choose a eweetheart she is apt to think more of his physical attractions than of his character, and, sadly enough, she is almost invariably attracted by the qualities that dazzle rather than by those enduring qualities on which happiness of married life so much depends. The modern girl would do well to follow the example of the wise young man The latter may flirt and of spend his time with the alluring maiden whose golden hair and blue eyes are her chief claims to attractiveness; but in nine cases out of ten he will marry a womanly girl one who is fitted to be a good wife and mother. Whatever mistakes men may make in other directions, their minds work very logically, with reason and foresight, when it comes to matrimony. Girls are different, and, young or old, they are likely to be captivated by the adventurer or the unworthy man, unless they are closely guarded in their homes, and acquire a certain degree of common sense. Modern girls do not admire dull, homely or stingy men, and these three faults are quite likely to belong to men who, properly understood and rightly directed, might make desirable husbands. It is considered a nuisance to be a bore in this twentieth century, and girls do not take into consideration the fact that dullness comes often from diffidence, while the lively, glib man, who is sure of himself, is often quite and would quite likely not be tolerated by serious men. Dont marry a weak man, urges the New York Weekly, who is simply charming in In tellect, refinement of manner and speech, poetic in mind, reverent ol women, talented, but lacking in that moral stamina which Is so essential if a man is to make a good husband, and overcome the business difficulties which beset most people. The weak man dismisses everything wittily with an epigram, and this is charming in a play; but in ones husband it is annoying when events call for decision, comprehension and prompt action. to-da- empty-heade- Precocity and Degeneracy. Precocity is not always a thing to be desired. Indeed, it may, Just as surely as a prematurely ripened fruit indi- cates decay and early death, mean an early degeneration and loss of the mental faculties. By many biologists it is considered an expression of premature senility. As Lombroso has indicated, many of the men of genius were subjects of degeneracy. There is a period of antenatal growth known to scientists as the senile period, embracing the fourth and fifth months of prenatal existence. It has been found, declares W. A. Newman Borland, in the Century, that a slight arrest of development at this period is charac- teristic of the class of beings known as degenerates, and precocity is rec- ognized as one of the expressions of this development defect. Relief de la Cretonne, who composed at 14 a poem on his first 12 loves, is a .remarkable precocity. A wit of five is a fool of twenty, is an adage founded upon the popular appreciation of this unpleasant truth.

La Porte, Ind. That Mrs. Bella Gunness was responsible for at least five murders before she and her three children were incinerated in the Are which destroyed her home one week ago, Is the theory now held by the local authorities who are attempting to solve the puzzle of the barnyard burying ground found on her pretty farm one mile north of this city. The bodies of five people, all of1 them murdered, were found in the yard of the home of Mrs. Gunness on Tuesday. So far only two of the bodies found have been identified. One is that of Andrew Helgelein, who came to this city from Mansfield, S. D., for the purpose of marrying Mrs. Gunness, who'se acquaintance he had made through a matrimonial bureau. The other is that of Jennie Olson, a Chicago girl, who had been adopted by Mrs. Gunness. She disappeared in September, 190G, and it was said, had gone to Los Anglees to attend school. The other bodies were those of a man and two children, apparenlty 12 years old. , Forty-fou- Ter- minals. San Francisco. Aiter weeks of expectation the people of th-- great went were given a chance on Wednesday to welcome the Atlantic battleship fleet, which, after a record breaking cruise of more than fourteen thousand miles, steamed through the rocky portals of Golden Gate and came to rest in the San Francisco' d harbor. The white anchored, blue flag of the secretary of the navy, flying from the mainmast of the trim little gunboat Yorktown. fluttered the welcome of the nation, while the governor of California, the mayor of San Francisco, and the people of a hundred towns and cities voiced the greetings of the enthusiasfor fleet tic west as the steamed majestically up the bay. Once inside the entrance to the bay the heavy vessels of the eastern coast were joined by the armored cruisers of the entire Pacific fleet, and the navy of the nation all save or rea few newly commissioned served ships on the Atlantic, and some patrol boats scattered in the Orient joined in a parade which for Impressive beauty and strength of BATTLESHIPS NARROW ESCAPE. four-starre- long-looke- d fighting timber has never been vessels, ranging equaled. Forty-fou- r Connecticut and from the 1G, the five sisters of her class, down to the tiny torpedo boat's, no larger than a racing launch, passed through the harbor to the anchorage grounds, south of the Market street ferry terminals. The parade and the maneuvers of anchoring occupied full four hours of time, and gave to the people who made black the hills of the city, the islands of the harbor, house tops and mountain heights twenty miles away, the most wondrous naval spectacle they have ever known. San Francisco, Oakland and other cities near by all took a holiday to witness the coming of the fleet. There was a complete cessation of business, and the streets in the down town sections were absolutely desertd. Banks and business houses were closed for the day, and everybody flocked to the hillsides overlooking the gateway and the harbor. More people came into the city Tuesday night and Wednesday morning than left during the terror and homeless days following the fire. Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet, and just now in command of the assembled ships of both oceans, stood on the after bridge of the Connecticut as the famous flagship led the way through the harbors gate and until she came to anchor at the head of the battleship column. After the fleet had anchored the government customs launch Hartly put off from Mission Btreet wharf, bearing Mayor Taylor and the reception committee, to pay the citys official greeting and proclaim formal welcome to Rear Admiral Evans and the sailors. The Hartly reached the flagship at 3 oclock, and between files' of marines with arms at present the mayor and the committee were received on the quarter deck of the Connecticut and taken below to the cabin hall to meet the admiral. Hearty greetings were exchanged between the admiral, mayor and the members of th-- reception committee. After the ceremonies of the official call were over, Mayor Taylor and the ccmmitteo boarded the Hartly and came ashore. Following the official call Admiral Evans came ashore and was taken to the St. Francis hotel to meet his wife and daughter. 000-to- n With Illinois Comes Near Cotttding the Alabama During Storm. Monterey, Cal. A northwest gale sweeping into the harbor gave the eight ships of the second division of the Atlantic fleet several hours of watchfulness Saturday night and cut off all communication with the shore. was A serious accident narrowly averted when the battleship Illinois, second In line from the Alabama, flagship of Rear Admiral Sperry, parted her anchor chain in the height of the blow and went drifting toward the shore. The Illinois headed directly for the Alabama and it looked for a time as though a collision was imminent. By heroic work the helmsman managed to steer the drifting ship away and the only damage done was the tearing away of the port gangway of the Alabama. The Illinois drifted fully 800 yards before her emergency anchors, sent spinning into the white capped waters, finally held fast.

Eight of the battleships, late In' October, will call tor twenty-fou- r hours at Amoy. This visit will be made as the vessels are on their wayi from Japan to Manila. , This course Is understood in Pekin to be a result of representations made by American officials In China who feel that the fleet Should not cftne to a China port. They base their conviction on the belief that such a visit would give China a false Impression as to the attitude and intentions of the United States regarding Manchuria.
