Out on the water in the moonlight A
more beautiful or romantic situation for a
young man to tell the story of his love and
ask the young woman of his choice to share
his life cannot be imagined.
The courtship of young couple may be
ever SO romantic and their married life be
very unhappy. There are common sense
considerations outside of love that have a
world to do with the making of married
happiness. One of the most important of
these considerations is the good health of
both parties to the sacred tie. The young
man who is in the incipient stages of con-
sumption commits crime If he marries
before he is restored to health. He con-

most used, so let us consider them as

prominent article in the whole room.
Position is everything, which, Of course,
the size angles and openings in the room
must govern. But don't put the piano
straight up against the wall and don't
have the keyboard In the dark. For

CHEAPER GAS RATES.
Council Will Again Consider the Long
Delayed Question.

Councilman NetteIs called the atten-
ton of the council to the fact that an
ordinance had been introduced about Is
months ago reducing the price of gas,
but il had been laid over for one year to
give the gas company time to make GER
tain improvements He moved to call
it up and refer il to the committee on gas
and electric lights, inasuuch as the time
for which had been postponed had long
since elapsed
Mr. Elliott said he did not think it
necessary to pass the ordinance, as the
gas company was getting ready to re-
duce the price of gas and it would far
rather do it voluntarily than be COM
PEELED to do it He thought within the
next thirty or sixty days the gas COM
pany would be in shape to do as the
council painted without passing an ordi-
nance.
Mr. NetteIs said his object in calling
it up was to hurry the gas company up.
and to have the committee call upon
it and obtain some definite explanation
concerning what might be expected
The ordinance was accordingly called
up and referred to the committee
