who Harries Most.

An eminent doctor has
been figuring from statistics
as to mans chances OF marry
ing in the various calllngs.
He puts it:
Lawyers chances in 100.
Doctors-10 in 100.
School teachers-2o in 100.
Business men-40 in 100.
Editors-50 in 100.
Poets in 100.
Musicians--10 in 100.
Bankers-2in 100.
If true, these figures are
of interest as the banker,
generally the richest man IN
the community, Is almost
ruled out and the editor
(generally the poorest man
in the community stands
the best chance.
There are probably two
good causes for thistle
banker always tries to Ind
a safe investment, and must
be certain of value received
with interest before embark
ing, while the editor is gen
orally a man of nerve who is
so used to taking all manner
of risky chances on delln'
quents that the matrimonial
sea has few terrors for hlm;
he feels that it is about as
pleasant to starve by the Jot
lot as to starve single. And
woman loves nerve and rarely
figures on wealth when she
gets "struck," so she re-
wards the editor with her
heart and hand, and starves
with him.
But the figures are inter
esting in their relation to the
other Callings, especially as
showing the kind of men the
ladies like and the kind who
have the nerve to storm the
castle and carry off the prln'
cess fair.
The statistics in the above
are encouraging to the young
printer, who is working with
the hope that some day he
might become an editor.
