then you are apt 10 find problems you

experiences. nevertheless. The law
gave US right OF way in establishing
our lines. That is. we had the privilege
OF going over anybody's land.
"On one occasion it became necessary
60 cross very high point of ground
which was studded with trees. At first
we thought OF building an elevated
platform from which we could get our
distances. but we discovered that would
take too much time. We concluded II
would be easier 90 blaze our way
through the forest with axes. As we
were preparing TO do this the owner
OF the property came upon Us and asked
our business. / explained TO him. as

derstood what we were driving at.

fered 10 buy the trees, but he wouldn't
have that. He said the ui Sithout
the trees would have no value. shen
we told him we would buy as much OF
the land as was necessary, an acre on

over our proposition 10 buy he con-

We closed the bargain quickly, for we

money paid. | asked him IL he didn't

But the sort of social gathering of
employers and employees enjoyed by the

attention.

The clerk, as a rule. regarded the
director with awe-unless, indeed, he

ties OF married life or rather the cer-
tainty that marriage Is a failure.

This may be true. But in no sphere

WHEN Prof. Sumner was a younger
man he announced his scheme OF kill

The Professor gained some little no.

himself talk.

Ana when the Professor to demon

To be popular must in these days stop
with MARI .age ceremony. because the
optimasm on which is popularity must
depend cannot EARLY be maintained ar
ter the cerencny, he has evidently for
gotten a number Of very popular works
OF fiction.
Frank Stocktons "Rudder Grange"
for instance. one Of the widest selling
books OF our neraUon, was a story
n domestic felicity that only began
with the marriage ceremony.
Thsle Is deal OF sourd. heaIthy
fiction that has been popular that has
not stopped w.ih the marriage state by
any means.
one Of the chief reasons why SO many
nove.s stop with the marriage core-
mony is because In real life as wen as
in romance all mankind love q lover
and take less interest in marrteL lovers
than In single ones Ana because tho
married state H. 80 often an end FOR
