We presume that the Pennsylvanians, like the Utahans, owe all this to the untiring efforts of Senator Kearns. CHATTER. (Being the personal opinions of the writer and for which no one else is in any manner responsible.) Mrs. Juliette Is the name of a being, created Tuttle-Wright-Havens-Clar- ke in the shape, and designated by the name, of woman, who contributes nearly a page to the Hearst newspapers, the story here considered appearing in the last issue of the Sunday Examiner. Her picture accompanies the article. She is not bad looking, either, for at first glance one is impelled to think that she would be just the sort of a woman some men would look for in seeking for a life companion. But after reading what she has to say, and studying her manner of saying it, and then taking a second glance at the face above the handsome gown in which she is attired, no sensible being of the male sex would consider, even for a moment, the question of mating with her. Of course there are exceptions to all rules; all men are not sensible. Thats the reason why this particular animal boasts of, and signs with, four names. She has wedded and divorced four men. From reading what she has to say of her experience with each and It seems to Truth that the present Board of Education has been unfairly criticized for extravagance in the handling of the funds of the Board. The criticisms have been based on comparisons with the doings of former Boards of Education, but the comparisons have not by any means been fair. The editorials in the Tribune, it clerks ONE hundred and eighty-twis well known, were inspired by Mr. in the Pittsburg postoffice had their Dooly, who, perhaps pardonably wants to make it appear that when he was running the Board things were better done than they have been since. The editorial writer of the Tribune is also afflicted with the idea that since his retirement as a member of the Board little or nothing has been done as it ought to have been done and the schools are on the high road to ruin. It is, therefore, not very asa!i tonishing that the comparisons published by the Tribune were not very favorable to the present board. The item of expense which the Tribune took the most decided exception to mm was that for building and maintenance, but the Tribune omitted to explain that the additional expenditure was largely incurred in making alterBook-Cas- e necesations to the school buildings sitated on account of mistakes in the Must fit your books and fit your space not only construction made by former boards. but all the time.

DINWOODEY all, it must have been a happy relief for the bunch. ji J This legalized harlot seems to glory in the fact that she has four times passed through an experience which would have broken any true womans heart. That hers is undamaged is evidenced by the glibness with which she discusses them. She talks of mankind as if it were cabbage. The details are recited with great gusto and when she has served up her story of infamy, shame and dishonor, she actually presumes to advise other women, wedded and not wedded, what course to pursue in relation to the management of husbands. She, who failing four times to please or be pleased, actually has the nerve; the unadulterated gall, to arrogate to herself the right to teach ethers. Epitomized, her career as a wife is at: follows: At sixteen she was married to George Tuttle, president of the First National bank of Pittsburg. She declares she had little to do with the preliminaries; that it was mana marriage de convenance, aged by the members of her family. He was older than she. She was He was young and inexperienced. indifferent and she was bored. They had one child, but that didnt prevent her from seeking relief from ennui and, going through the divorce court, she obtained her freedom and branded her child with disgrace at the same time. The second victim came soon after, in the person of Robert C. Wright. She met him at Newport and fell in love with him so the jade says at sight. She supposed he was rich and the wedding was hastened. After the ceremony she discovered he had spent most of his money and because he wanted to help her spend hers she quit him. Knot No. 2 was untied by an accommodating judge. Husband No. 3, was a southerner named John W. Havens. She married him for sentiment. According to her admissions he was a scholar and a gentleman; a man in every sense of the word. But when she ascertained that she had mistaken sentiment for loVe she rectified the error by filing papers and soon was free again. Number 4 appeared on her horizon in due time, In the person of Augustus W. Clarke, an Irishman. He, so this nymph says, hypnotized her. She was well aware that he had deceived other women, but thought she was too foxy for him. Too late she learned that she had again made a mistake and for the fourth time she became a grass widow. Jl Jl Now isnt that a nice bit of history for a woman to write about herself and publish to the world? Yet on the strength of these four short chapters of infamy she presumes to give advice to others of her sex. May God grant that few, if any, accept it. For it is such women as she who sap the foundations of the home; the superstructure upon which great nations, like this, are built; who quench the sacred fire of love on the altar of home; who bring reproach upon little ones not to blame and start them in life with the bar sinister on their escutcheons; who defile the fountains of love of man for woman and woman for man; who are the excresences on the body of society; the impurity in its blood; the leprosy which engenders rottenness and finally death. But let that go for awhile. Let us see what her advice is. Jl jl Believe me to do for a man is dis- astrous. The more expensive a wo , |
