LOVE VS.. MONEY.

CHICAGO, Oct. s.-alow me to make few re
marks regarding matrimony. After reading lss

motives are extremely selfish, ''Nattie w." whe
uses an argument moro forciblo than elegant
and is anything but womaniy,-to those and
others let ue say q word. It ia very we'll fol

will not marry until they have capital and are
