Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1889-10-10

Minnesota had its first test of the
Australian ballot law, which was passed
by the legislature last winter, in Mime
apolis the other week. There was only
an alderman to be elected in one of the
wards, but good opportunity was offered
to initiate the voters into the system of
balloting. The trial was marked sue
cess, all parties being pleased with the
good order maintained about the polls
and the smoothness with which the new
method worked. The law allows each
voter to occupy booth ten minutes for
preparing his ballot, but it was noticed
at one precinct that only one voter took
over three minutes. The conclusion
drawn was that 500 votes can be easily
polled day at one box. If this is fair
estimate the opponents of the Australian
system, who have contended that it
would result in delaying the voting
greatly, will be robbed of one of the
strongest arguments they have brought
against the new method. A similar law
was proposed for Pennsylvania, but
Henry X. Boyer stamped his disapproval
upon it, and the bill failed to pass.

MARRYING FOR MONEY,
Reelection OF Young Atlanta Man on the
Poor Society Girls.

A young man in Atlanta, talking on
this subject, said some very sensible
things against marrying poor girls,
says writer in the Atlanta Constitu-
ton.
II don't know" he said, "any poor
girl in society whom l could afford to
marry. Though they have no money
that gives them an income, none of
them know any more about work than
their wealthy sisters. l speak of the
poor society girls. not of poor girls
who make their living. The former
you will invariably find has her gowns
made and knows nothing of the prac-
tical economy of living. Now, how
could |, just making start in life,
possibly support such wifep-
1t makes me sick to think of it, for |
hate to see woman poor. l hate her
sad economies and self-sacrifices, and
hate to think of the lines beneath her
eyes and about her brow that the
stinted years would draw. 1 couldn't
ask woman like myself and with no
means of helping me to spend the
bright days of her youth in meager
living and little economies. A poor
girl, reared in idle luxury. as are all
poor society girls, should herself
marry man of means if she wishes
to be happy. For my part, shall
marry girl who has something be-
sides my income to support her during
the early part of our married life. l
don't want to marry rich girl for sell
fish motives. would gain nothing
by it. It's simply for the woman's
sake"
"And you don't care who the girl is,
just so she is richp"
"Indeed do. She must be q wo-
man can love and admire; pure,
sweet woman, pretty and attractive"
"But suppose you should meet and
fall in love with some poor grip"
a won't do it, don't pay any at
tention 10 poor girls or allow myself
to become Interested in them. l say
to myself, when | see one of this class
unusually winning, yes, you are very
delightful, but you are not for me and
you've plenty of wealthy sisters who
are just as bright, and out of whom l
might find one to suit me and whom /
suited"
A very cool way and not nonsensi-
cal one either of regarding the tender
passion, provided it be carried out. l
have often seen this theory proven sat-
isfactorily by just such young men as
the one Eve quoted. This is the high
est type of fortune-hunter, a type who
wouldn't marry without love and
equality. But the typical fortune-hun-
ter careth not whether the girl be
stupid, illiterate and homely-if she
hath money it mattereth not; he is so
anxious to marry fortune that he
takes the first he can get with it. And
the fact that there are so many more
women than men in the marriageable
market to choose from makes a mans
marriage for money an easier and surer
venture.

There are many things connected
with high speed on railways which
tax the ingenuity of the engineers to
the utmost. The lines have to be made
strong enough to withstand the heavy
blows of the locomotive. for the other
portions of the running plant are light
in comparison. A railway train at
sixty miles an hour may be COM
pared to a huge projectile and subject
to the same laws. The momentum is
the product of the weight of the train
multiplied by the velocity in feet per
second; and If we allow train of 120
tons, travelling at a speed of sixty
miles an hour, then the work required
to bring it to standstill would be H.
400 foot tons exerted through one
minute, or nearly 1,000-horse power,
which gives some idea of its destruct-
i've force if, unhappily, it should come
into action; aud yet this terrific power
is so entirely under command that the
strength of a child turning the small
handle of the vacuum brake can bring
the train to stand in a few seconds.

Tales from the Gum Arabic.

In the visions of the night Malek Ak
Drawbar lay upon his bed, and saw all
peoples of the earth fastening togeth.
er, to be assigned to their future abid-
ing places. AS he looked off to the
left he saw vast multitude, whom no
man might number, tiocking by them
selves, and at short intervals large
crows came from various directions to
join themselves with this great throng.
He noticed, also, that all these people
regarded each other with strong but
ill-concealed suspicion. "And who
are these asked Malek Ak Drawbar,
"who outnumber the sands of the sea
shore for mullitudeP" "Oh, those fell
lowsp" replied his guide. ''those are
the men who discovered Artemus
Ward and brought out Bill Nye."
"And what will be done with themp"
asked Malek. Cant tell, replied his
guide; .'they're not all in yet; they'll
be coming in along for the next cen.
tury." Aud then Malek Ak Drawbar,
remembering that he had once written
to the Goon,er Habbeek that he was the
first man to find Mark Twain and
developed his humor that was then
latent in him, gave a cold sliver foot
long. at was close squeak for me-,
he said, and he resolved that during
the rest of his life he would tell the
truth. so far as it was compatible with
editorial writing on Reform paper

A Mistaken Millionaire.

A very rich business man of Boston
told an interviewer the other day how
he began his business life on 81 week,
and how he advanced from that point
to his present position by being tenn.
perate, Industrious and honest. He
ended by saying. "Any young man
only will"
Young men know that this is not
true. Tens of thousands of young men,
during the forty years of that mer.
chants successful career, have been
as virtuous as he, without making
much headway in business. They
have been punctual, diligent, faithful
and we'll skilled in their vocalion; but
there they are, about where they were
years ago, working hard for moderate
compensation, and seeing no prospect
of much change.
1t is not possible for many men to
found great stores and make great for.
tunes in them, for the simple reason
that the largest city does not furnish
business enough for many such. These
prizes fall to the lot of the few individ.
uals in each trade who combine in
themselves great talent for business
with great tenacity of purpose. They
passionately want to succeed, and they
know how.
If our merchant had said that many
young men could do much better than
he had done, he would have come
nearer the truth. In most of our great
and famous places of business there
are clerks who have done great deal
better than their employers. We saw
the other day a young man of 29,
salary $500 year, whose father died
ten years ago, leaving wife and four
children with little provision. This
clerk was the eldest boy: he accepted
the sacred duty which devolved upon
him with cheerful courage. He has
carried it gayly along ever since, and
has won in it really brilliant success
happy himself, and cause of happi-
ness to those dearest to him.
There are men whose natural voca-
ton it is to control millions of dollars,
and own tedious superhuity of other
things. Happily. most of us are
spared this great trouble, and have
chance to discover how little is re-
quired for truly successful and joyous
existence. YOUTHS Companion.

DuG IN the long talk that came aIJer
tea, Mr.. Andrew told him how he had
come to Memphis with suit of butter
nut jeans and 81 in his pocket; how he
had steadily worked his way up. stayed
on through tho terrible years of pestil-
ence, and had the fever himself in a
hospital. $50 you see 1t is not all
luck"
did l say that, sirp"
mo. you did not say it, but that is
what you young ones all think. 1t is
courage, determination. perseverance,
and above all, it is Gods good hand
upon you-and that you can have for
the asking-that makes a mans sue
cess in life."
"Thank you. sir" said the young
man, involuntarily holding out his
hand. The elder grasped it cordially,
saying:
"God bless you, my boy, and give
you the true success which may not be
measured here"
Good night, Mrs. Andrews" said
Wright, as the clock gave warning
stroke. "You will never know what
this evening has been to me. May
come againp"
lone whenever you can. Thurs
days are to be my reception days, and
if you have any tired, homesick, sad
or discouraged friends, bring them
with you. We will find some way to
help them"
1t would take many pages to tell OF
that Summer; how many tired shop
girls, seamstresses, and school-teach-
ers, as well as clerks, found haven of
rest in the beautiful homestead of
"Sweet Content" as it was aptly
named. The pictures, the grand piano,
the curios, all played their part.
The story is not all written yet; its
circles are still widening. and only
eternity will reveal the whole.
"She is an angel" said the young
men; but she is not, only consecrated
servant doing her Masters work,
and using to the best advantage that
which her Lord has committed to her
trust. Are there not others whom He
has blessed with homes and lands
who will go and do likewiseP-NesO
