the citadel where the immortal lives !
Ii It the fear OF the failure to realize
such happiness as this that keeps these
drsamers from seeking 1t in marriage? ?
There are o class OF men who very
cautiously estimate the expenses Of mar.
ried life and come to tho conclusion
they would be 'fool to marry girl II
they could not support her in the style
in which she hal bccn accustomed"
and with wise shake Of the head, de-
termine to let well enough alone. Weak
man! you are to be pitied. Cant sup
port q wife in this land Of plenty! The
most inveterate club man, the bitterest
scofFers OF 'lovc in cottage" are those
men who failed, either from lack of con-
fidence in their own powers of persua
sion, or want OF means in their youth,
to win the one particular woman they
worshiped rs their ideal. Because the
man can not support woman in ele.
CANT style or because the woman refuses
to be taken from the lap Of luxury and
endure a few years Of moderate toll and
condescend to be helpmeet to her
husband, till they can provide desira-
ble home, marriage is considered out of
the question, and as a result there is in
tint, another whining, rheumatic old
maid and an abominable, goutv old
bache Tor, added to the already long list.
OF course there are excuses for being
maids and bachelors, and my case is one
of the exceptions, and I don't speak Of
these, but nine cases out Of every ten it
was their own fault, and have but lit
tie sympathy for them. Young man,
get married; be man; live for pur-
pose preserve your health and morals,
and don't be drone in this world.
Like Tramp Printer, find myself
DEPRESSING. The people of Greenfield
claim, and with good reason, that the
real inventor Of the gatling gun is q
Mr.. Bennett, who lives short distance
in the country from this place. It is
said that when nearly completed by
Bennett, Gatling saw it and knew there
was something in 1t, added little to
the work of Bennett and took out a
patent. Bennett is still living, and is at
present at work on new steam excur-
sion boat. He has partially succeeded
in his new enterprise.
Greenfield is also the birthplace of the
Democratic rooster. The egotistical old
cuss became the emblem OF Democratic
victories about 1910, under the following
circumstances: Joseph Chapman was
an editor of the leading Democratic
organ published here, and was an init
mate friend of George Patterson, the
Democratic candidate for the legislature.
Patterson wrote Chapman letter and
told him if the Democrats carried the
State he wanted him to do some crow
ing through his paper. Walpole, Pat
terson's opponent, by some means OBJ
tanned the letter Patterson had written
and used it in the campaign that follow
ed to ridicule Patterson. This made
Chapman, to whom the letter was writ.
ten, very angry, and he did everything
in his power to defeat Walpole. When
election day came Patterson was elected
and this gave Chapman a chance to
crow as advised by Patterson. Nearly
every voter in the State knew of the
letter and Chapman's intention to crow
If the ''Dems" were successful, and all
were anxious to see the election issue
Of his paper. Well, he painted that
issue red, so to speak, with roosters all
growing fit to kill. Since that time the
game bird has been used to designate
Democratic victory.
