POVERTY AND MARRIAGE.


Long engagements Not Conducive to
Prosperity, According to Some.
All unconscious of the man in the
next seat, two girls on Germantown
train were discussing engagements.
81 don't care what folks would say
remarked the one with red hair, "if
I really loved man and he was poor
would insist upon marrying him at
once, rather than submit to long
engagement"
That's the way l feel" said the
girl with blue eyes. "The young man
who stays single until he can save
enough to get married on is up against
it. At least, that's what my brother
Jack says. He says the trouble is
that when a fellow is engaged to a
girl he wants to show her good time
and the consequence is that he never
saves anything"
Jack is right" said the girl with
red hair, according to the Philadelphia
Record. II know a case that proves
it. The girl has been engaged now for
eight years. Her fiance is in business
in New York, but he comes over to
visit her once week. He comes over
on Saturday afternoon and goes back
Monday morning. Saturday night he
always takes her to the theater, and
there's generally supper afterward.
I'm sure that makes big hole in his
salary every week. Now l."
But the train had pulled into the

The great American Locomotive

gines, besides an unknown but much
smaller number built in railway shops,
says the New York World. This Is the
greatest record ever made, and shows
much activity in improving and equip
ping American railroads. But though
the United States is ny far the best
engine market in the world, 10 per cent
of this great product, 3S7 engines, were
for foreign markets. A still larger
number were exported in 1900, when the
homo market was less insistent The
Baldwin works alone have in the past
three years sold engines in these coun-

Names of Prominent Persons That Are
Commonly Mispronounced.
Because there are no rules for the
pronunciation Of proper names innum-
cradle errors are made in this matter.
There follow the correct pronuncSa-
lions of the names of some persons OF
renown.
"A. T. Quiller-Couch sounds the on
of his last syllable as the 90 is sound
ed in root Jerome X. Jerome accents
the first syllable of his last name; he
pronounces it to rhyme with tear 'em.
In the name of Robert Louis Steven
son the Louis is pronounced as though
it were spelt Lewis. Sir Walter Bes-
ants name has its first syllable accent
ed, and rhymes with pleasant. The
poet Richard Hovey's name has its
fest syllable sounded so as to rhyme
with dove.
The name of Andrew Carnegie, says
the Philadelphia Record, is accented on
the second syllable; it should be pro-
nounced as though it were spelt Car
Maggie.
