ried, the simplest thing to do in the world
by mutual consent There is always, how
ever, an obstacle, actual or imaginary, from
parental disapproval to lack of means. The
subjects are desperately, oVerpOweringly in
love with each other, and are, in fact, men
tally and physically lOvesick. This lovesick
condition produces an abnormal nervous
tension No outward evidences of nervous
ness need necessarily be visible, usually
not, but a singular mental effect is pro-
duced which causes them to falsely feel
that death and death alone will prove the
only panacea for their earthly mental
pains.
The distinction should be noted between
the case in point and that where one lover
commits suicide because of the loss by
death or otherwise of the other, or where
the surviving husband or wife commits
suicide from grief. In the latter instances
feels can never be compensated here below,
so either he or she deliberately, or where
the brain is really affected, while suffering
from fit of temporary insanity, commits
suicide.
I'm the first instance, where a woman is
so desperately lovesick over one particular
man that she consents 10 be killed by him
with the preliminary understanding. usu-
ally, but not always carried into effect, that
he is to follow her. and a man is so love
sick over particular woman that he either

purely prospective and imaginary.

verified and misplaced thought If they fol-
lowed normal thought by the process OF
normal action and prosaically repaired to
justice of the peace they would find the
happiness on earth they are uncertain of

which the public falls in disposing of these
instances is that the parties were crazy

TEN DOLLARS A MONTH.
Two People Tell How They Live
Less Than That Amount.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas City Journal
Tho problem of living is one in which
every one is interested to a greater or less
extent, and economists have discoursed
wisely upon the art OF cheap living-for
other people-ever since theorists began
putting things into books. The possibility
Of keeping whole families in good flesh
on a few cents a week of expenditure has
always been a favorite topic for rotund
sybarites who write for household publica-
tons and whose literary earnings gen.
orally become exchanged for checks for
frizzled terrapin or grozzled grouse
1t has remained for young man and his
wife in Kansas City to throw theories to
the winds and put in practice actual, stern
and unrelenting household economies which
would put Edward Box and his asso-
ciates TO the blush. The case in point is
interesting for several reasons.
There is in Kansas City a student who is
attending local institution and who, dur
ing the past three years. has worked in the
summer season and whose earnings during
that time have been made to keep him and
his young wife through the winter months
while he was pursuing his studies. 1t has
been absolutely necessary for the two peo-
pie TO live on less than $40 a month"; on an
average, during the winter months, which,
OF course, does not include his school tut
ton or the textbooks bought cheaply at
When 1t is stated that these young peo-
pie actually live on less than SO month
IL is meant that they pay rent and live
decently. and both always appear neat and
well fed. The system OF economy that they
practice was never learned in books but il
is the result OF their own planning. IL
any one has a tendency TO feel sorry for
them he should at once suppress his gratu-
itous sympaIhies, for they are not required
These young people have voluntarily
chosen their mode OF life and they are
happy because both are young and vigor-
Gus and they know that at any time the
husband could quit his studies and go TO
work earning a respectable salary If the
necessity arose. And then they are buoyed
with the thought that very soon the hus-
band will be through with his schooling
and then he can embark I'm his profession
and the dream Of their youth will be
realized
But 10 the way of IL all:
When the young man boldly asserted 10
his fellow-students that he and his wife
lived on less than $40 a month the state
ment was doubted. II was asserted that
such a thing was impossible. especially az
all housekeepers know the past winter was

A careful study of the foregoing will be
interesting. 1t will be seen that potatoes
and pancake flour, with frequent purchases
of meat, constituted the staple articles
Of fare. A pathetic touch is the item of
oysters, Go, and many people will won
der how cents worth of oysters could be
bought. 1t should be remembered that the
wife does the marketing. and each day
goes about among the cheaper stores and
is on the lookout for special sales of all
sorts. While ii is not known just how
she happened to buy cents worth of
oysters. 1t is likely that some store made
a sale of them on that day. With the oys-
tiers were 10 cents worth of crackers and
cents worth of milk on Dec. 2S. This
made a meal of oyster stew for two peo-
pie which cost p cents. 1t is reasonable
to suppose, also, that these two people en-
joyed that meal just as much as though it
had been served at the SWEETEST cafe in the
city.
A word about where the economists live
They occupy one large room, for which
they pay 81 a week rent. The room Is in
a good neighborhood- Water is furnished
in a common hallway. The wife does her
own washing, and both she and her hus-
band always look neat and clean. At the
time of the beginning of the above pub
lished account the wife weighed 131 pounds.
At the end OF the period she had gained six
pounds I'm weight. The husband remained
at his normal weight, which is about $50
pounds.
