The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-03-26

is equipped with a powerful search
light with which the pilot can sweep
each bank of the big river. A pilot
can turn it on or off by the pressure Of
a button, and make every nook and
Granny on either shore as light as day

Counting couples? The funny thing
about it is that the favorite court
ing place, especially in the smaller
towns, appears to be in the grave
yard. Why, it seems as though when a
young man nowadays wants to talk to
his sweetheart about love and life and
happiness, he coaxes her off into some
nice quiet cemetery and sits beside her
on plump, grassy grave, with a head
stone handy to strike match on when
he wants to light his cigar Then he
puts his arm around her and they hold
hands and look at the stars, and think
and thrill, and thrill and think until a
nasty steamboat comes chow-chow-
chewing up the river, and the pilot
turns on the search-light. Then they
suddenly get to opposite ends of the
mound and get out their handker-
chiefs and try to look as if they were
mourning over some dear departed.
Think I'm joking? Not a bit of 1t.
There's Quincy, Ill. There's lovely
graveyard there. It's right on top
of one of the biggest bluffs that over
look the river 1 don't believe that on
a summer night, there's an unoccupied
mound in that whole cemetery And
there are others-BurlingtOn Musca-

Death 1T makes me shudder Here are

riage, but only between healthy men
and women"
Never were truer words spoken than
those uttered by this old pilot-philoso-
pher. Courtship is right and the happy
privilege of all loving couples, but
marriage is a crime until both groom
and bride are healthy and robust. The
young woman who marries while suf-
fering from weakness and disease of
the delicate organs that make wifehoOd
and motherhood possible does her
counting in a graveyard and passes her
honeymoon facing an open grave or a
life of suffering.
The young man who marries while in
i'll health courts death and dooms his
children to disease.
For all women, single or married,
who suffer from weakness and disease
of the distinctly feminine organism,
there is a sure and speedy cure. 1t is
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t

and makes them strong and healthy.
