II She Can Stand This Test.

To the Editor
Having discussed the impecunious
man. the sworn woman-h ater, the faint
hearted loverand others of various pecul-
i~arities. the thought of marriage strikes
the average man of common sense and
impartial Judgment as one demanding
serious contemplation.
He is all ambitious, enterprising bust
ness man; and III the course of his social
duties he comes in contact with numerous
marriageable ladies. Warm friendship
may spring up. but whether the friend
ship in any particular instance causes
feelings of moro serious nature to arise
depends greatly upon the efforts of the
young man. who is confronted with
questions in his own mind that ask:
Whether her temperament is adapted to
hisl
Whether there is a difference of re-
ligion?. 80, =,
Whether her health and physique would
reasonably warrant healthy otfspringp
Whether her disposition would guaran-
tee a home of comfort N good cheer!
Whether she would interest herself in
his business, stimulate his worthy ambi-
tons and encourage his enterprise?
Whether she could, with his help, train
his boys to be manly men and he a fitting
model for his girlsS
The inability of many men to answer
these or similar mental questions to their
own satisfaction is the cause of such a
large number of manageable men re-
naming single. CHAsM.
Z" Again the Mother-in-Law Gag.
To ne Editor;
I find the young married women of to-
day think more of mothers advice and
interference than they do of their hus-
bands opinions. Hence the reason for
SO many single mems dread of the forth
coming mother-in-law.

Pessimism and Ignorance.

To me Editor:
Bachelorhood and happiness are syn
onymous. The best course for a young
man to take to obtain peace and happiness
is to remain single.
There sometimes comes a time in q
mans life when, in a luckless moment,
he loses his hold OF these main objects
and is drnwn into that state where free
dom and peace are unknown, and in their
place stand the grim untlinching spectres
of expenSiveness aud subsection.
Instead of the pleasant sense Of your
W mastcrship and your own household
gods, you are hanpered and detected, the
victim Of periodical squabbles when the
ire of your supreme highness and gracious
queen has been aroused against you.
When single you could save n little
something, but now-sayings are scattered
like chat before the wind for dress and
articles for her use and her pleasure.
These are not the opinions of enc, but
of many. Every man has free will.
Which part do you prefer TO play?

Needs I'd Know Some Nice Girls.
To me Editor i.
My reasons are as follows The ~restric-
tons placed upon married men. to which
single men nre exempt, the liberty en-
joyed by single men, luck of RESPONSE
bility and want of faith in the fair sex.
has the tendency to keep them single.
The inability of the majority OF girls to
perform household duties, ignorance Of
same duties and disinclination to help q
young man of limited means by self
denial. sympathy and trust i'll the man
also are considered.

Girls Don't Care for Dudes.
To ne Editor
1t is a fact that the young girls of my
own age are SO giddy and Eighty I do not
find them at all companionable and if /
cannot endure their senseless chatter how
can a man who rarely has much patience
find them agreeablep
If young men would look in the middle
class instead of the so-called upper ten.
they would be apt to find what they are
seeking; for money. like charity. covers
a multitude of sins. and beauty. nminbil-
ity, honor and money are attributes
rarely ever found in that circle.
What sensible young girl would care
for a dude! A BROOKLYN GIRL.
She Lays 1t on the Clubs.
To ne Editor:
One reason is the abundance of clubs,
whore they can enjoy themselves without
having to account for the time and man.
ner IN which it is spent. They enjoy
their freedom too much to be hampered
with wives.
Others are afraid to marry the girls
they admire. and whose stvle aud taste
just SUIT. for the reason that it takes so
much to keep mp such style. and the
young men do not dare TO face the music.

better feeling Stocks responded Immediately
and before the close Of the first hour prices
were generally better than those of the open
ing. In the trusts sugar and lead changed
places, the former being strong while the latter
was easier. There was a realizing movement
toward the close. which again sagged prices on
from the best figures, but the close was quiet
and firm.
The feature Of the dealings was the increased
demand for railroad bonds, and the transactions
ran up to ST. 847 600 with the Texas Pacif1c nrsts
furnishing $20l, ,00U Spokane firsts rose 20 1O0%.
The Post says: Stocks are very strongly held.
The impression is that Spectators who have
bought stocks in the last month in expectation
OF the traditional January rise-which, how
ever, has failed TO come for the last two years
have provided themselves with time loans and
with such ample margins that they are not
@ asily shaken out. It is positively known
that what is called the Vanderbilt interest"
or the party who follow the lead of that family,
have been steadily accumulating the Wander
61lt stocks as well as some of the other diVi-
dend-payers for permanent investment. This
kind of buying has taken great many stocks,
and especially the diVidend-payers, entirely out
OF the market and leaves the daily speculators
to deal with the the cheaper stocks.
