WHY MEN SHOULD MARRY.

It was clearly meant that all men, as
well as all women, should marry; and
those who, for whatever reason, miss
this obvious destiny are from natures
point of view, failures. 1t is not a
question of personal felicity (Which in
eight cases out of ten may be more
than problematic), but of race respon-
sibility. Toe unmarried man is a
skulker, who in order to secure his
own ease, dooms some woman, who
has a rightful claim upon him, to
celibacy. And in so doing he defrauds
himself of the opportunities for mental
and moral development which only
the normal experience can provide.
He deliberately stunts the stature of
his manhood, impoverishes his heart

sweetest potentialties of his soul. To
himself he is apt to appear like the
wise fox that detects the trap, though
it be ever so cunningly baited; that re-
fuses to surrender his liberty for the
sake of an appetizing chicken or rab

with the city government, as IL was in It's
opposition TO the board OF health's order
10 close the schools last May. This time
however. the conflict of opinion is likely
10 be settled by lawyers without the aid
OF policemen. The question arose on a

the school board that the sidewalk in
front OF the old South school must be re-
haired under the state law requiring such
work to be done by the abutting prop

the board, and yesterday an opinion was
received by Secretary Ogden advising
the board not 10 pay any attention to the
