How Girls Should Consider proposor

MY dear girl, when a man asks YOU
to become his wife you ought to nut
some questions to YOURSELF" writes
Ruth Ashmore to girls on THE Profess
sion of Marriage" in the Ladies' Home
Journal Satisfy yourself that YOU
love this man well enough, not only TO
be happy with him, but, n need be. to
suffer with him. Decide for yourself If
this be the man of all others in whom
you will find your ideal companion. for
companionship means as much in mar
rage as In friendship. Then, you must
think Of the future. Ask yourself too
whether this man brings out in vou ali
that Is best. whether he provokes that
which is little and mean in you. or
whether he piques you into making
light of that which is good. Decide
whether this man is the one with whom
you would be willing to grow old.
whether this man is the one IN whom
you would. without hesitancy. submit
questions that trouble your conscience
Then, too, you must ask yo1rself ushat
seems. perhaps. like a trivial question
whether this man is one whose name
you VIII feel honored in bearing. not
because Of any material wealth he may
possess, but because of his being an
honest gentleman, Think out all these
things. ask yourself question unon
question. not only as to his fitness but
as to yours. and then. il you give him
the loving answer that he wishes try
to become thoroughly acquainted win
him." VIZ"

6re,n Goods and Hu>h Money.

Easton, Pa, March % Among the
10 applications for liquor licenses pre-
sented to the Northampton county court
here to day was that of l.. T. F. Mar
steller, proprietor of the Pacific House at
South Bethlehem. Marsteller's place
was emphatically demonstrated against
upon the allegation that it had been
known as headquarters for green
goods men, who enticed their victims
from all over the country.
During the hearing some startling
testimony was developed, Morris Hot
tensten, a porter at the hotel, testified
that he and Marsteller were aware of the
presence of green goods men at the
hotel, and that he sar Marsteller and
County Detective Johnson receive ''hush
money
He also testified that he was to receive
"hush money" but that none was ever
paid him. Money, he said, was given
him to hand to the proprietor's son, but
that he had kept it because the greer
goods men mad not fulfilled their prom
ise to give him money. The case was
adjourned until to morrow.

HumbuS-To BE Investigated.
WASHINGTON, March 2I.-A lively
civil service debate has occurred in the
senate. 1t proceeded for two hours, the
civil service act and the commission
being under fire most of the time The
debate assumed added significance
owing TO the recent change of admins
tTation and the attendant demand for
offices. Mr.. German, of MARYLAND,
called attention to the presence in
Washington of the horde of hungry
place hunters, and expressed profound
sympathy with his Republican associ-
ates over the restrictions of the civil
service system.
The discussion came up on a resolu-
luton to investigate federal removals
at South Omaha. Mr.. Gallinger IN.
H. characterized the civil service sys-
tenn a. humDug and declared he would
be glad to cast mis- vote TO blot out the
system. There was continued applause
in the galleries at this statement. Mr.
Allen CNeb) called the civil service act
a monumental humbug' and Mr.
Wilson rep Wash.D said II was a
"humbug, a delusion, a snare and a
fraud
Mr.. Hawley of Connecticut, while de-
Tending the principle of civil service,
sald Its practice had been attended
with giaTing lncOmpstency. Mr.. Stew
art of Nevada regarded the civil service
commission as am "Office brokerage es-
tablishment."
