Some Reflections ~ 10 Why Many
Marry EngIishm men.

Some Reflections ~ TO WHY MANY

Why does the American girl marry
the Briton? Has she any adequate

De defended on large grounds ~ pro-
motive OF the greatest good of the
Greatest number? Is 1t q fact, as has
been nippantly suggested, that she
moves to England to get country life
because We have no good roads here
yet, or, ON the contrary, can it be dem
onstrated that one reason our country
roads are SO bad is that the American
girl cannot abide the country and
promptly carried her man OF to town
At the earliest moment that sees his
endeayors blessed with the necessary
income? Is 1t her fault that country
interests tend too much to fall to the
care OF residum that is too poor to
get away, or has the country life not
much to do one way or the other with
her British propensities. To be hon.
est, there are other conceivable reasons
for marrying an English gentleman be-
sides his country roads. He may be a
charming gentleman-they are said to
be 80 once in a while-who can win
wife by plain, personal courtship, and
whom any woman might be justified In
marrying on general principles and
without specific excuses, or he may be

lean women who ventured to assert
that the feminine eye rejoiced more In
the type OF male human that treads the
pavements OF PiccAdilly and Pail Mall
than In the contemporaneous pedes-

Or may be It Is his superior stolidity
that slectrifies In the Briton. Il In to
be feared that there is no truth in that
tale Mr.. Kipiing or somebody was tell
ing OF how phlegmatic merchants OF
the east had discovered that the way
to beat the American was simply to
put him OF and let him fret himself
reckless. Stolidity Is not quito the
same as repose, but to persons who are
suffering from an acute dearth Of re-
pose 1t may appeal as a tolerable sub
stitute. SO that one can imagine an

aspirations Of her high pressure coun-

.One of the worries of modern life Is
the perplexity where to spend the sum-

ney in the World" and he has been
paraphrased again and again. But
there seems to be indubitable proof
vanishes once the worried and per-
picked are we'll through the first
course of the feast which Maine every
summer sets forth to the visitors with
in her borders. That those who come
hitting, is as certain, generally speak
ing, as your insurance policy or the
presentation of your iceman's bill. so
it is not with a feeling of regret put
rather of the CHEEKY adieu We READ the
daily paragraphs in the papers 10 the
effect that the travel by out going
trains and boats is unprecedented.
Why. it was only few short weeks
ago we were reading the same para
graphs. but with this difference. the
incoming loads of people were referred
to. How they poured in and took the
State by storm. The innermost ham
let as we'll as the cold gray stone fort
resses along the shore surrendered, we
were about to say without a struggle.
but not quite that for the invaders
were hungry and that fact of itself
was assurance in this hospitable State
of ours that they would be promptly
fed. And the struggle began all along
the line, from the table to the Harder
and from the larder to its resources.
And a profitable struggle it has been.
and best of all both parties to the
transaction have profted. If there be
a skeptic of this assertion he has but
to note the healthy color on the faces
of this exodus of people. and note the
way into the farmhouses and the
families of those whose chief vocation
is caring for the wants of the summer
visitor.
Summer visitor did we say? All.
but Maine does not limit her hospital
ity of the money-making sort to the
brief weeks of transition from the
month of roses to the time of holding
the first cattle and pumpkin show.
The ice no sooner leaves our lakes and
streams than the most modern tackle
from the metropolis is baptized there
in by the metropolitan himself, and
the same individual with friend or
two may be found in the Maine forests
looking for big game when the ice
forms again.
All this is. of course. an old story.
but it is well worth the retelling and a
good deal of mature consideration now
that the early evening lamp and the
| fall oyercoat begin to insist upon
recognition. There's dollars in it,"

A promoter has told the farmers of
the Mississippi valley that they can
form a trust and control the commits
sion business and thus save 500, 600. 900
annually. Enough of them have be-
lieved to the extent of investing to
start. the enterprise and may get their
moneys worth in experience. One of
the chief objections to the trust in I'M
restrained. operation is that it is be-
lieved to be impossible in the nature of
the surrounding conditions for agri-
culturalists, among many others, to
FORM and successfully operate such
combines on a broad scale. If the
Farmers Federation of the Mississippi
Valley demonstrate that belief to be
unfonnded it will have accomplished
very much. There is far greater likeli-
hood. however. that if the farmer is to
derive advantage from the modern
methods of combination it will be
through such specialties as dairy
products, but even there he will need
to be an intelligent and vigilant factor
to retain whatever advantage might a,

Portland Sunday Telegram: Every
now and then small boys are before
the municipal court for petty larceny.
These arrests call attention to an evil
that is receiving only a small part of
the notice from the general public that
1T deserves. Scores of urchins roam
the streets until late at night without
parental oversight and often with
little or no parental care, and that
such laxity is breeding a class of
criminals goes without saying. The
education of the street is never REIN
ing or elevating, yet it is where some
children IN this city receive most of
their training. Almost from babyhood
they freed from home restraint, be-
come street Arabs in all the name i'm
plies and early i'm life naturally drift
to the criminal classes, because they
have never had good tuition or ex-
ample. The parents of these children
are more to blame than the lads them
selves. They are prone to shut their
eyes to the dangers and temptations
that besct their offspring when not un-
der their watchful eye and fancy their
boyS-and girls, too,-arc fortified
against temptations. They learn the
awful mistake sometimes when it is
too late. Every home should have its
own curfew law and strictly enforce 1t.
