rus {. Adams in Alnslec's 1T Is sense
less to wait for Il coming of afiluent
days. Their lives should be united, and
each in his way should help to bring
about the advent of easier times If
they are ever to come. 1t Is as foolish
TO wait for larger income than is
really required as it Is for parents to
slave and drudge that their cL.Idten
may enjoy n degree Of atllucuye they
have never known.

This dcplorahle ambition fixes upon

France, families of more than two chill

lead, defer their own marriage In order

Nearly all our self made men, lead
ers In the professions and in business,
married young and on very moderate
incomes. Many assumed without the
slightest trepidation the responsibility
OF supporting wife on $1,000 year
or less. These men usually have very
pronounced views on the inadequate
knowledge Of the value of money and
how to take care Of 1t possessed by the
ma jority OF young men and women.
The views Of these young persons as to
the amount Of income 4Epon which they
may prudently marry vary of course,
according to the circumstances in which
they have lived. Many an intelligent
girl who works In New York kitchens
has no doubt whatever that she and the
steady, Industrious fellow she intends
to marry will have q comfortable home
ON $12 to $14 n week.
"A penuilcss German school teacher
who came 10 Philadelphia when a
young man and who in his old age
lives In New York on the rentals Of
apartment houses bought with $500 600
he earned slowly in manufacturing. as
serted the other day that $1,000 to

to young married couples. Of refinement
a comfortable home, books. music and
amusen1ents and everything they might
need for the rational enjoyment of life.
This gentleman has the German ideas
Of thrift. There iS~scarcely any doubt
that any man and wife gifted with his
nbilty to disburse dollars to the very
best advantage would be able to realize
his idea of comfortable married life oD

Calling Up Fish.
The other day several New York
brokers received telephone orders to
buy a certain stock and notify Mr..
Fish at given telephone number.
Calling up that number, the response
was invariably, (which one Is want

How many of them are, thereT'-
Several hundred. large and small"

"0h. then. you want Coonei; Jones"
Colonel Jones? No. want Mr.. Fish.
