Ne 10 Utterly Too Good. and HIS vile Il
Sick OF Her Bargain.
One OF the best girls any fellow ever
Kew and the pride Of village not
thousand miles from Pittsburg made
fatal mistake when she married. Being
such happy girl, so sensible and 80
much sought after by the best Young
men in the neighborhood, every one con.
tidently expected her to make a great
catch. But she didn't, and now her
neighbors are wondering how it all hap
peaed. She married a fool. That ex.
plains /; all. No need to go into details.
The Tact that he dressed well and that
ne moved in good society and was known
as very nice yo1ng man" viii not
claIe the case any palmer. He is a fool.
and that Is all there is about it.
his foo!ishness consisted largely in
believing that the world was not made
right. that the people are wrong hearted
rs well as wrong headed. and that it is
The duty of every one to array himself
against everything as it exists and keep
lp constant grumblins, growing and
complaining. This young man was very
religious in Il sense. He honestly and
faithfully cndeavorcd TO keep himself
unspottcd from the world by avoiding
contact with it. lie went not into had
company. nor did he ra.ron:ze p;cn;cs
and evening parties, bat staid at home
reading good books ard thinking how he
could spin for himself a cocoon tha;
would keep the outside world away
from him. He did not realize the fact
that he who has himself for conpanion
and friend is in very poor company.
II was this sort of chap that our model
girl married. She ought 20 have known
better. but sire mistooll his knowledge Of
books Tor All evidence of brains and of
learning. while the fellow really had.,',
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 lie was such a nice
young fellow that she thought there
would be 10 risk taking him. Ia fact.
she took him in the hope Of escapinc the
very misery she il row suffering. He
doesn't beat her with a club. nor does he
get drunk and smash the furniture, but
lie tires her life out by lecturing her.
finding fault continually and never COM
meEcIng. and trying to make her under
stand that her place is ct home ana that
her duty is TO him. Their home is dreary
| and chilly. and their lives about the same.
They are both satisfied that marriage
Is n failure, and they cannot be made to
believe otherwise. 1t isn't the man who
has the least bool, knowledge that is the
biggest fool, nor are those who are short
on general information to be classed
| with numsIulis. Some of the most de-
lightful people one may meet are those
| who are blessed with an abundance OF
common sense. They know absolutely
nothing of Darwin ncr of Briggs and
not great deal about electrical science,
and they may even cat with their knives.
pour their coffee into sauccrs and blow
the 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 under
stand enough of the science of life to
know how TO live comfortably them
selves and 20 make others happy.-Pitts-
