SOME DEFINITIONS OF LOVE, POETIC
AND OTHERWISE.
Differing Tones That Blend Into a
Harmonious Matrimonial Chord.
Diverse Views as to What Consti-
Umtes “The Ideal Woman.”
Tennyson says in the spring a young
man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love, With the young men and wo-
this interesting theme is not confined
to one season. It has the right of way
at all times and seasons,
Definitions of love were being dis-
cussed when a refined woman said the
most comprehensive and beautiful defi-
nition she had ever seen was written
by Amanda Douglas. Here it is:
“Love comes with truth in her heart
and constancy In every pulse to sit
down an everlasting guest in the hearts
of those who truly welcome her. If
there are sorrows and storms, she
spreads her wings for an ark of shel-
ter: If toll and care, she lightens them
with her blessed smile, No room for
regrets or jealousies, for both are true
in deed and thought; no coldness, for
she stands between them and the
frosts of time. Year by year they grow
into perfect accord, bringing heaven
nearer with every dawn.
“Can such love ever fall?”
A jolly girl present said, “Love is a
tickling sensation round the heart that
cannot be scratched.”
A modest, blushing young lady re-
marked, “It is something Indescriba-
ble, must be spontaneous, cannot be
bought or coaxed into being and when
it grows cold cannot be warmed.” Still
we hear people constantly saying, “I
learned to love him.”
There is no subject upon which a man
or woman, young or middle aged, pro
vided they are not married, will be-
come so anlmated as “my ideal woman”
and “my ideal man.”
Usually the tall men and women ad-
mire those of medium or diminutive
stature; the fat, the lean; the blond, the
brunette; the jolly, the sedate. The un-
fon of two people with different charac-
agree on the
harmonious

There Is a proverb that runs thus:
“Whistling girls and crowing hens al
ways come to some bad end.” At least
one Terre Haute gentleman thinks
this is an absurd statement, In fact,
the ability to whistle well be regards
as an essentinl in bis ideal woman.
And she must have rich, glossy hair,
luminous dark eyes, shapely hands and
finger nails, dainty feet, be jolly and
low up when worried and worn out
with business. No bookworm or wo-
man's suffrage advocate can be classed
as his ideal. A lover of music, not the
ultra classic, is an essential for this
gentleman's ideal woman.
A bold, dashing youth holds as his
fdeal a womanly woman, even to ti-
midity, but morally brave, one who will
regard him as her onk and clasp her
soft tendrils aboit him for support.
This dependence, he avers, will keep
him at his best and his ideal refined,
sweet, noble, human.- Susan W, Ball

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night, The mild and the extra-
ordinary effect of Swamp«Root (s soon
