NICE YOUNG MAN. BUT A FOOL.
He Is Utterly Too Cond, and His
wife Is Sick of Her Bargain.

he IS utterly TOO COno, and HIS
wife Is Sick of Her Bargain.
One of the best girls any fellow ever
knew and the pride of village not a
thousand miles from Pittsburg made
fatal mistake when she married. Be-
ing such a happy girl, SO sensible and
so much sought after Dy the best young
men in the neighborhood, every one
confidently expected her to make a
great catch. But she didn't, and now
her neighbors are wondering how it all
happened She married fool. That
explains it all. No need to go into
details. The fact that he dressed well
and that he moved in good society and
was known as a every nice young
man" will not make the case any plain
er. He is fool, and that is all there
is about it.
His foolisness consisted largely in
believing that the world was not made
right, that the people are wrong heart
ed as well as wrong headed, and that
it is the duty of every one to array
himself against everything as it exists
and keep up a constant grumbling,
growing and complaining. This young
man was very religious in sense.
He honestly and faithfully endeavored
to keep himself unspotted from the
world by avoiding contact with it.
He went not into bad company, nor
did he patronize picnics and evening
parties, but staid at home reading good
books and thinking how he could spin
for himself a cocoon that would keep
the outside world away from him.
He did not realize the fact that he
who has himself for companion and
friend is in very poor company.
1t was this sort of chap that our
model girl married. She ought to have
known better, but she mistook the
knowledge of books for an evidence of
brains and of learning, while the fell
low really hadn't two ideas of his own
about anything. The inside history
of this case shows that she did not
love him any better than she had other
men, but he was such a nice young
fellow that she thought there would
be no risk taking him. In fact she
took him in the hope of escaping the
very misery she is now suffering. He
don't beat her with a club, nor does
he get drunk and smash the furniture,
but he tires her life out by lecturing
her, finding fault continually and
never commencing, and trying to
make her understand that her place is
at home and that her duty is to him.
Their home is dreary and chilly and
their lives about the same.
They are both satisfied that mar
riage is failure, and they cannot be
made to believe otherwise. 1t isn't
the man who has the least book knowl
edge that is the biggest fool, nor are
those who are short on general infor-
nation to be classed with numskulls.
Some of the most delightful people
one may meet are those who are bless
ed with an abundance of common
sense. They know absolutely nothing
of Darwin nor of Briggs and not
great deal about electrical science, and
they may even eat with their knives,
pour their coffee into saucers and
blow their soup to cool it, yet with all
these shortcomings and defects they
are the most delightful people to
know. Their hearts are all right and
they understand enough of the science
of life to know how to live comfort
ably themselves and to make others
happy. Pittsburg Commercial.
