To the Editor of the Register,
Sir: For some months past I have
noticed in the daily press large
amount of discussion along the line Of
divorce and for the most part the ar
gument has been against the severance
of the marriage vow. | am one of a
large class that believes that divorces
are too hard to obtain, rather than too
easy. 1t ought to be possible to be
divorced as easily and cheaply as to be
married. Two young lunatics, with
no rational idea of what they are
doing, can obtain a marriage license
for one dollar, and be married for an
other. According to few so-called
purists, these people, recognizing with
added years and wisdom that they
committed a monumental blunder, from
one cause or another or no cause at all,
must live together all their lives in
mutual misery. That is simply out
rageOus.
The truth is, the law makes marriage
very easy and divorce very difficult.
That Is wrong. Marriage should be
made more difficult. and divorce more
easy, to the end that human happiness
uldg DS Tie tWO pCOpic
together for life simply because they
made fools of themselves when they
were not old enough or experienced
enough to know what they were about
Is an injustice, despite creed and law
and church and state. So long as it
is possible for young man and a young
woman to become man and wife for two
dollars, just so long will ill-advised
unhappy and irrational marriages be
contracted, with all their resulting I'M
happiness and inevitable evils.
The marriage state, when congenial
and happy, should be hedged about with
all possible safeguards. but the i'll
assorted couple should be freed from
the bondage Of the law and of religion
as speedily and easily as may be, for
their mutual good. The 'let no man
break asunder" injunction is correct as
theory. for it presupposes infallibility
in man; but it is wrong in practice, for
both man and woman are fallible.

medium of the Sunday Register Letter

think you deserve the thanks of your
readers for providing medium
through which they may give express

! tions. am inclined/to think that the
woman's friend diagnosed the case cor
rectly, although from your correspon-

to think the friend is a mischief

ture she seek advice elsewhere. The

If her husband strays occasionally from
the straight and narrow path, she
thinks there is no longer any reason
for putting faith in mortal being. The
case is a sad one. She makes the
grevious errcr of looking for perfec-

The only place to find perfect men is
in books. If she were a practical wo-

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Will you grant me the privil-
eye of addressing a few words OF ad-
vice to the unhappy Bridgeport writer
of last Sunday
Now my dear woman, let me as a
friend tell you that one of the best
ways OF reforming your husband OF his
shortcomings is secrecy. No matter
what you suspect, tell it not. for how
often does it not happen that ones best
friend is his worst enemy. If you
have room for suspicion and doubt,
don't let even him knew of it, but
keep up O. brave and cheerful heart. be
kind to him in every way possible,
make home pleasant for him, and
above all shield him from your friends.
If be is a man of principle he will,
sooner or later, open his eyes to these
facts, and when he sees the efforts and
sacrifices you are making in his behalf
am certain he will reform for your
sake. On the other hand, if you persist
in sharing your private affairs with
your friends, it will only make matters
worse. They will tell their friends.
and soon the world will know. and in
stead of sympathy, you will receive
only scant courtesy. The world has
no time for sorrow.
Laugh and the world laughs with
you.
Weep and you weep alone
How many people are there in this
world of ours, especially wives, who
are struggling along, broken hearted
living lives Of strife and worry, yet
keeping all their troubles to them
selves. and always appearing cheerful.
pleasant, and even gay, when at the
same time their very hearts are crush
ed and bleeding? Now, my dear wo-
man, take this little sermon from a
matron of many years with a good
heart. Make the best of life. Try my
remedy and if it does not cure your
case, it might at least help you. Never
let any one poison your mind against
your husband. Shield him in his
weakness, and if at times your troubles
seem past endurance, then turn to your
Redeemer. He is ever ready to COM
fort and support you. He alone can
give you patience and strength to sus-
tain your troubles. After all there is
nothing can relieve the tortured mind
like prayer MATRON.

A genuine sensation was created in

near the town yesterday morning froz-

About two o'clock Saturday morning
people who lived near where he was
Afound were awakened by the cries OF
one in distress, which sounded es If it
came from this field. Several men or
ganized searching party, made up of
Cliff Krim, William HUFF and William
c. Holloway. and started to hunt the
party in distress.
The wind was blowing at terrific
gait, and the snow filed the air but
the men pushed on. They heard one
more cry. Then they answered but
heard nothing more. After searching
for two hours they gave it up and re-
turned home.
About seven o'clock a young lady
from the rear door of her home, saw
by tree in the field a man lying
there. She Immediately called some
men. who went into the field and found
the form to be that of Mr.. Bethel. He
was picked up and carried to Or. Ar
thur Hobsons Office, where it was
found that he was unconscious. His
feet and lower limbs were frozen stiff,
as were also his hands. cars and
cheeks.
After several hours work Re revived

take some nourishment. and showed
signs of life. The physician stated
that he Thought he would recover. hut

Sir:-Do not think us guilty of Inn.
pertinence or presumption for taking
the liberty to answer a letter published
in the corresponding department OF
last Sundays issue, written by Bellaire
girls, who think they are up to date In
reality they are dead ones, and not aris-
tocracy as one would suppose. You
girls have done everything conceivable
to get a Bellaire fellow by giving
dances and leap year parties, which
were entirely out Of season, but to no
avail. The boys wouldn't attend, not
-hstanding the fact that everything
was free. And you say the fault is all
their own. The fault certainly is all
their own. When a girl Is going with
nice young man, she should be loyal
and TRUE to him. and they should in a
great measure monopolize each other S
society. ALI this is greatly modified
before an engagement and intensified
after marriage. We all know that love
is the purest, hottest sentiment there
is.
There is nothing about your individ-
ual personality that is attractive or the
uoyo "Ouio nave dISCO'eIeu II loHS, Dt-
fore this. And any of you would run
the risk of a hum-drum monotonous
married life if you only got the chance.
But we would advise you to join the
nursery and make space for the young
er set, and not have the Wheeling boys
coming down spreading the salve and
making you all believe they are simply
captivated by your exquisite beauty,
because you are inexperienced and
easily jollied. We prefer the young
men of Bellaire to any other.
