MARRIED LIFE THE BEST.

1t is a universally accepted truth that
individual most nearly fuliills destiny
and lives the hapriest and most useful
l.fe yet it is only when some noted
educator or public leader gives this
truth new emphasis or variation that
humanity is inclined to stop and listen.

one fact stated by Professor An

leads to a very narrow life. In truth,
the unmarried person lives only half
his life, the other half being mere
waste.
These facts need to be emphasized in
order to encourage marriage, for it is
believed by number of careful OBJ
servers that the tendency in our ma
ton at present is away from marriage,
largely by reason of the opening of new
avenues of employment and activity

SUPREME COURT CHANGES.

The recent change in the United
States supreme court is an event of na-
tional Importance and interest. The
retirement of Horace Gray, at the age
of a., as a result of ill-health. was q
step that has been anticipated for sew
era months.
The appointment of Oliver Wendell
Holmes. OF Massachusetts, to the Va
cancy has been Well received in the
cast. where he is recognized and hon
cred as an accomplished iurist. A son
of the well-known poet. he has name
at least that is world-famous and an
opportunity to add new laurels To it in
4 different sphere in life.
In his later career, from 1870 to 1913
Justice Holmes WAS editor OF the
American Law Review. In his early
law experience he published the twelfth
edition of "kent's Commentaries" In
the winter of 1880 he delivered a series
of lectures on the common law in one
Judge Holmes was appointed To new
professorship in the harvard Law
school. This honor was Immediately
followed up by his promotion to an as
scciate justiceship of the supreme court
of Massachusetts. where he remained
until Aug. 2, 1899, when he became
chief justice.
The eupreme bench is composed OF
r;ne members. The selection of JUS
lice Holmes to succeed Justice Gray is
the first change made in the supreme
court since the appointment OF justice
Mckenna of California, in President
Mckinley's first administration. There
are three democratic members of the
court-Chief Justice Melville w. Fuller.
of Illinois: Justices Edward Douglass
White, of Louisiana, and Rufus W.
Peckham, of New York. They were
appointed by President Cleveland.
Justices Harlan and White represent
the south, Justices Fuller. Brewer and
Mckenna the west. and justices
Brown. Peckham. shiras and Holmes
the east With the appointment of
Justice Holmes the number of Harvard
men on the supreme court bench will
remain three. rs at present
1t is possible that other vacancies in
the supreme court Will be caused by
the retirement of members who are old
enough to step out on full pay before
the close of this administration. If so,
