Married life is a comedy
(somestimes, alas, a tragedy,
In several acts. Like in a play,
avoid putting in the first act
OF your married life all your
strongest situations and all
your smartest dialogue for
fear lest the interest should
go on tagging steadily to the
end.
The clever dramatist is in
variably satisfied with writ
ting a quiet and sober first
act. No situations of any
strength are required. He
makes his audiences thorough
ly acquainted with his charac-
tiers.
Then the action begins, and
the climax is never reached
before the end of the last act
but one. A genius sometimes
gives it in the last act.
The intelligent husband
should bear this in mind and
do the same.
The first act of matrimony
should be a careful and sym
pathetic study of character,
the laying down of a little
plan of campaign, full of con-
siderate concessions and we'll
conceived resolutions.
1t is only after at least ten
years of matrimony that a eli
max should be reached, when
the man is above forty, in the
full possession of his manly
powers, when the woman is
above thirty, in the full pos
session of her glorious wo-
manly charms, when both are
sure to each other and tried
friends.
Then, and then only, they
can allow themselves to be
lovers in full meaning of the
word. They will be able to
enjoy that great bliss if they
have not made the mistake
Of trying too soon.
The epicure, like the diplo-
matist is the one who knows
how to wait.
In matrimony it is not ''all
is well that ends well;'' it is
''all is well that begins well,
and not too well. "-HearSt's |

In this connection a story
is told about the only news
paper puff that Dan Rice paid
for. The ad was published in
the Commonwealth, of Wash
ingtOn, Pa. Here it is.
I've seen the learned pig. IT'S queer
To see hog become a seer;
He knows his letters and can hunt
The alphabet without grunt;
Can add, substract, knows the rule
AS well as any body in school.
By working with his head and snout
He knows the truth without doubt.
IT'S wondrous a brute so low
Was taught by man so much to know.
Miss Maria Brown, who
wrote the greater portion of
the book, pays the following
tribute to the old clown:
He has gone where the clown and king
Meet under canvas as brothers;
Where no one need fool in the ring
TO tickle the fancy of others.
And if God loves the man who has curved
PEOPLES lips into smile, there is a nice
Front seat that has long been reserved
Over there for Jolly Dan Rice.
He has marshaled no host on the plain.
Nor rose above men as leader,
And naught that he did shall remain
In the land of the palm or the cedar.
But he made the world laugh in his day,
And he put sorrow under the ban;
So here is a garland to-day
On the bier of Jolly Old Dan.

UNIQUE CAREER OFDAN
RICE.
THE North American.

The life of Col. Dan Rice,
from the cradle to the grave,
will soon be publishedin book
form. The manuscript has
just been sent to the printer,
and the book, which contains
nearly one thousand pages,
was ready for distribution
early in January.
Dan Rice was undoubtedly
the greatest clown in history.
After his retirement he took
up his residence at Long
Branch, N. j., where he died
on February %, 1900, at the
age of rs.
Colonel Rice had many
thrilling adventures while in
the show business, associated
with many of the first people
in the land, including the
crowned heads of Europe, and
a complete account of these
adventures, compiled by Miss
Maria Ward Brown, who was
named as executor under the
late Colonel Rice's will, forms
the basis of the book, which
will be finely illustrated.
Colonel Rice's parentage
will interestingly. Hisfather
was Daniel McLaren, of Scotch
descent. His mother, Eliza
beth Rice Crum, was the
daughter of the Rev. Richard
Crum, a Methodist preacher
and a soldier of the Revolu-
tionary war.
Elizabeth Rice Crum and
Daniel McLaren were married
in 1921, at Hightstown, N. j.,
without the knowledge of the
brides parents. The mar
riage was afterwared annulled,
and in addition, McLaren was
forced topay $4,000 damages,
which sum was held in trust
for the child born to the clergy
mans daughter who early in
life took the name of Dan Rice.
Young Rice's mother remar-
ried early in the twenties, her
husband beingHugh Manahan.
The latter took considerable
interest in the boy, of wnom
he said, she has the makeing
of great man in him."
Dan became a jockey of con-
siderable note at the age of Z,
haveing been in a number of
races, each time being victo-
rious. A story is told of a
race which took placeat Tren-
ton in 1882. Dan had the
mount on a FLY named Lizzie
Jackson, which had been
named in honor or President
Jackson's fourth niece.
When the race took place
President jackson was among
the spectators. The FLY
prove to be an easy winner.
Afte the race President Jack
son, placing his hand on the
boys head, said ''My boy if
you live you will either be a
great man or a great fool"
In 1910 after years work
on the stage, Dan Rice found
himself at Pittsburg, interes-
ted in the livery business.

MAXIMS FOR THE MAR
RIED MAN.
GBy Max o'Rell.I

BY Max O'Reil.l
If, at the beginning of his
married life, man can not
have enough controlover him
self to see that his wife does
not get her own way in every
thing, and that he does not
make himself her abjectslave,
he will never be able to re-
cover his liberty, and he is
done for, condemned to SUBJ
lection for the rest of his nat
ural life. The beginning of
wisdom is to keep your life in
order.
No government has ever
been known to successfully
suppress or even reduce by
liberty or privilege previously
wanted to the people. If a
man capitulates on the thresh-
old of matrimony, he will
never be able to recover one
inch of the ground he has sur
rendered. In fact. a man has
to be as careful to avoid spoil
ing "a wife as he would a child,
and that for her sake as well
as for his own.
To be happy, for instance, a
woman does not require the
constant presence of her hus-
band. On the contrary, she
will enjoy his company very
much more if he and she are
not always thrown together.
L know men who, from the
beginning of their married
lives, visited their clubs, en-
joyed mems company, while
remaining very devoted to
their wives and making them
very happy.
But if a man waits ten years
to decide on belonging to a
club, he will soon discover the
terrible mistake he has made. |
His visits to that club will |
be treated like perfect acts of
unfaithfulness, reproaches will
begin, followed by sulking,and |
the famous sentence will be |

life must be uniform.

natural life; see that your eel

fuel used discriminatory and |

If at the beginning
you are too attentive, and do
such things that you know
you cannot do forever, look

zion will take the most gigan-
tic proportions.
Some men, good diplomat
Ists, carry this principal the
.ength of objecting to being
their wives lovers, simply
because they know they can
not always be lovers, and that
the day they cease to be lovers
they will be considered per-
feet criminals.
Therefore, my friend, con-
troll yourself sufficiently to re-
strain your epanchements so
cleverly that your wife may
be led to believe that you love
her more and more every day.
Remember that you enter the
holy estate of matrimony with

When the letter had been read the dele
gates to the convention were of the opin-
ion that they would like to hear what
Mr.. Brien would say to questions to be
asked to define his exact position. The
secretary told them that O'Brien was in
the hall. In response to request by
President VOORHEES, O'Brien went to the
stage and spoke.
He supplemented his letter that had
just been read. He said that when he
agreed to give an option on the land he
understood that it was to be used for
a settling basin, but when he was told
by Colonel Heuer that the taiings would
bank UP twenty feet he was opposed. He
also said that he had never agreed to
convey the land but had merely offered
to give an easement to the United States.
Colonel Heuer told him that what the
Government wanted was an absolute deed.
He did not wish to be shut out two miles
from the river and he had withdrawn the
option for the reasons that he had stated.
The delegates listened attentively and
respectfully to OBriens statement of his
side of the case and then Pence asked
"Would you be willing to extend the
option three days?'

to tie OBrien's option up securely. There
was some discussion concerning parlia-
mentary procedure at this point but the
