When Choosing a Wife,

If were asked by young man or a
young woman how to be guided in the
choice of life mate, should, in the ex-
ercise of judgment based on wide and
studious observation, say: Choose that
person who, after a reasonable period of
association, proves to be most compan-
ionable. This broad law comprehends
nearly all others that can be suggested.
1t were infinitely better to be single
through life than marry one who would
not answer to this condition. Speaking
somewhat narrowly and selfshly, con-
tentment is the most that can be got out
Of life, and when a contented couple is
found it will also be discovered that they
exhibit manifestly opposite characters
tics of temperament, habit. taste and
physique.
1t is upon this fixed foundation that
happy affinities are formed. 1t is an i'm
portant doctrine in medical jurispru-
dence that like cures ike"-which is
only another way for saying that like
kills hke-and it is equally true in the
social realm that companionship is not
felt between young men and young
! women who are closely similar in gen
eral appearances or disposition. On the
contrary, it arises and leads to happy
unions between persons who are often
widely dissimilar.-J. L. Payne in La

girls are taking up whistling is very
amusing. and it is sure to become a craze
before long. The majority of them have
an idea of just taking a few lessons,
learning Il few snowy pieces, boarding
school fashion, and seem to think they
will then know all about it. They do
not realize that whistling is an art and
should be studied as such, and that it re-
quires as much time as any other branch
of musical education. 1t is not simple
by any means, and continual practice is
needed. One cannot practice long at a
time, for the upper lip does the vibrat-
ing and it is Il muscular strain.
They say a person always betrays
his temperament in his whistling. but l
never gave much attention to that idea.
l know whistling does make one feel
light hearted, and believe doctors are
recommending it for dyspeptics.
Strange, isn't it, but do you know I
never feel the least self conscious or
nervous when whistlingf 1t completely

Mr.. Carter has long been engaged in
the study of municipal government. In
1915 Governor Tilden appointed him a
member of the commission to devise a
form of municipal government for the
cities of the state. and he has ever main
tanned an active interest i'll the subject
of munich pal reform. He has never par

President Harrison the position of Amer

worldwide attention and reflected great
credit on himself and his country.
James Coolidge Carter was born in
Lancaster. Mass, Oct. II, 1927. In 1850
he was graduated from Harvard uni

years later. He began the practice of
his profession i'll New y ork city and soon

WHITE AND BLACK.

An Interesting Decision Handed Down in
 the Little Rock Circuit Court-white
 and Black Can Not Inter-Marry.
 Circuit Judge Lea handed down de- cision in an important test case at Lit tie Rock the other day. Thomas Dod- son, coal-black negro, and Mary Ed wards, white. were married September last. They were married by min- ister in the regular form, but soon af. terward were arrested, charged with having violated state statute b 1ter- marriage. The defendants, who were represented by Judge F. T. Vaughan. claimed that they never intended vio- lating the law, and that at the time of their marriage there was no statute prohibiting the intermarriage of whites and blacks.
 Judge Lea, after careful investiga tion. decided that the defendants had violated section 4593 of Mansfeld's di- gest, which provides that ''all mar riages of white persons with negroes or T--.attoes are declared to be illegal and void."
 Under the provisions of the follow ing ae. passed in April. 1869. Judge Lea gave the defendants the lowest fine:
 If any man and woman shall live together as husband and wife without being married, eacn of them shall be deemed guilty of mlsdc- meanor. and shall, upon the first conviction. be fined in a sum of not less than GO or more than si0O; on second conviction for said of- fense the offender shall be fined not less than 3i0) and may be imprisoned in the county jail not exceeding twelve months, and upon third or any subsequent conviction the of- lenders shall be punished by Imprisonment in the penitentiary for any time not less than one nor more than three years.
 Judge Lea also held that the minis ter who solemnizeds a. marriage Qf q white person with negro was guilty of violation of the law.
 Judge Vaughn took an appeal to the supreme court.
