Too Smart a Boy.

From 4he Boston Transcript.
A friend and neighbor has son who
is so quick at repartee that it is little
dangerous to cross swords with him. He
was out riding with his father the other
day, when, noting the name Of a street,
he asked if it was named for Mr.. B,
a well-known but not altogether popular
citizen. "By no means, said the faith
er, cit was not named for him, but for
his father. who was very, ", nnp1nlar and
nothing so his father, who thought he
saw chance to preach little sermon,
continued; cts very apt to be 50. A
boy has father whom everybody loves
and respects for his good qualities and
abilities, but in too many cases the boy
don't amount to anything" Said the
boy, after pause: "Your father was
very much esteemed, wasn't he, sir ?"

say anything about Inc othcr paris
, Of the country. An officer Of the
Suffolk Connty Court in Msssa-
chusctts describes the extent to
which divorce is increasing in
that State as astonishing. lie says
the business which his ofilcc has
lost by the bankrupt laws, and
the small amount Of suing that is
done In the State Courts, has been
largely made up BY the fees in d.
vorce cases. They are crowded
In by tho scores and hundreds.
Tho Vermont Chronicle has col.
lccted soma startling facts con-
cerninx divorce III Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Conncotlcut and
Vermont. During the last ninc-
tccn years In Massachusetts tho
whole number Of absolute divorces
has been 7.2aS. moro than halt Of
which were procured In tho last
seven years! In Rhode Island, for
the years covered BY tho statistics
available, thorc has been 1,670 di-
vorccs to 2i,7l5 marriages. Tho
ratio Of divorces 10 marriages for
thcpcriod Is l to Is. with a slight
increase in the later years. There
is one divorce to about every 1900
Of It's Inhabitants. Tho divorces
in that State vary from year,
probably on account Of changes in
the laws.
In Connecticut the statistics
cover nearly thirty years. In lSi9
only 81 divorces were granted
Under tho new law ofthat date the
number was increased moro than
one third in q single ytar.
The evil grew steadily until 1S-
GA, when 4s6 were granted.
But trom that timo until tho close
OF 1877. tho number, 4iS annually
on the average, varied but little,
the ratio to marriages being about
| 10 1914 aud ono divorce to cvcry
1900 inhabitants. In Connecticut
there must be one divorce to evcry
eight Protestant marriages. A
comparison made from the table Of
tho las. report Of the State Libra
