According to the statutes of the I

empowered to perform marriages are
subject toa fine of 800 if they neglect
to make returns to the clerk of court

The respondent man is his own
greatest enemy, and few people have
time to sympathize with him. Times
may be hard and your resources few,
but close your teeth and, with your

Do not despairingly sit on a curb stone
and grumble-you cannot gain the con-
fdence of your neighbor in this way,
and if in this condition there is moth
ing you need so much as confidence.
# you spent your time in public places
grumbling about the times, the people
and the government, probably your
wife is diligently at work earning a
livelihood for the family, while your
duty is to do this. And when the tide
turns, as it does for all, remember to
save little, for the stormy times may
return, and the past has shown you in
order to succeed you must help your
self. Trust to no one doing for you
what you neglect yourself. You will
find this rule without an exception
