WHY WOMEN Do NOT MARRY,
Idiots and Dudes Not Attractive as
Husbands.

| Idiots and Dudes Not Attractive as
Husbands.
st. Louis Republican.
They talk of men not being willing to
marry nowadays" said a bright girl,
''but scarcely know girl who wants to
become wife. They are learning some
thing in the way of n profession-some-
thing that will interest them as well as
support them, two roles in which hus-
bands just now fail. The truth is, We
are all scared away from any desire
to marry by seeing how wretched those
who marry are. Where would we look
for husbands? Among the superficial
young men who fill our drawing rooms !?
They are insufferable as mere acquain-
Ces or beaux who could contemplate
them as husbands2 | have always
thought that if | could find young man
at all like my father | could love him
and marry him ; but that school of men
have vanished from the younger ranks"
Nobody doubts that she expressed the
convictions of a large representation of
young women. Their lack of interest in
marrying is not due to the larger activi-
ties which continually open before wom-
en-, but to the unattractive, unreliable
material in the way of husbands. WOm-
en- are women, and would love and
marry as readily to-day as when the
earth was new if they came in contact
with men who aroused their respect and
admiration. The order of maidenhOod
that could content itself with an inferior
article of husband, merely for the sake
Of being married, has almost vanished.
The young woman of the period has too
much character and self-respect to dread
being an old maid so much that she
would contract an uncongenial union to
escape it. Undoubtedly inefficient men
are on the increase. Many young mar
ried folks, apparently rich, really de-
pend upon others for luxuries, and even
support Their fathers or grand-fathers
furnish the money that supplies their
hines oftener than the outside world
knows of. Then look at the number Of
married women engaged in business 1t
all means something, and wise girls
learn the lesson, and hesitate before the
risk of having husband and children to
support either by inherited fortunes or
the labor of their hands.

him how he liked his new place. ooh,

"Many more like it in the Treasury

Yes, dozen or more. Why do you
ask? Want one Of 'cm?'
No; hut l have some good democratic
friends would like mighty well to see

his cabinet officers are going mighty

were playing poker. Among the play
ers was a very nice young follow, grad
uate of Yale College, and man who
had been quite successful at mining,
and had at the same time made himself
popular with his fellows. Another
member of the party was one-eyed
stranger, and the rest was made up of
other honest miners about the camp.
The play went on from early in the
evening until late at midnight, and all
this time the one-eyed man seemed to
get all the good hands. Several times
the college graduate thought he saw
that the man was cheating, but he did
not appear to notice it.
AT midnight the college graduate
rose up and quietly said: Gentlemen,
we are all tired playing, and some of us
are about broke. propose now that we
take a recess, and have some oysters
and champagne. After we are through
we will throw away these cards, get a
new deck, and see il our luck don't
change. We will set out to play square
game, and (here he looked hard at the
one-eyed stranger as he put his hand on
the revolver at his belt) and the first
man we catch cheating we will shoot
out his other eye.' Well, the motion
was carried, the oysters were eaten, and
the luck did change. The one-eyed man
lost every cent of his winnings, and as
daylight broke through the dirty panes
Of the saloon windows he arose declaring
himself dead broke"

CRACK STEPPEBS.
\ Mild Species OF Insanity With
Which Old and Young are

"See that man over there?" exclaimed

head bent and seemed in deep thought.

do you? Well, most city men do.
Chrildren play games in this way and
men keep it up all their lives. Some
times they vary it by stepping on all the
cracks and taking particular care not to
miss one. There goes another"
In the course of a half-hour no less
than fourteen men We're observed going
up and down this pavement stepping
over the cracks. OF fifteen men taken
at random, twelve acknowledged that
they occasionally practiced this peculiar
habit. They said they didn't know why
they did it, and sometimes did it uncon-
seiously, but the interesting fact remains
that about seventy-five per cent. Of city
men are crack steppers.
