When Is It
Best to Marry

An inquiry of The Eagle or the question,
When Eat what age is it best for a man
and woman to marry" resulted in the
two following excellent opinions on this
question. 1t is interesting to note how
mature reflection in both sexes leads to
practically the same conclusion
THE MANS IDEA.
President Z. Stanley of the Friends
University says:
The time for marriage is dependent
upon many things, and can only be deter
mined by the consideration of individual
cases. The parties to marriage con-
tract should have that maturity of judg-
ment that will enable them to fully IN
derstand the importance of the step, and
to form some opinion of the responsible
ties to be assumed. A young man should
have some settled purpose for life; should
have determined the line of work he will
follow as an avocation. and should be well
equipped for il; should be established in
.,ess and habits concerning social, moral
and religious convictions The young
man that wants to enjoy the free and
easy life of boyhood Gas often indulged)
has no business with a wife. and is in no
way fitted to be a helper in making a
home
The young man who has settled these
questions and who is mature in judgment
so as to settle them properly is old enough
to get married. What is true of the young
man in these respects is true of the young
woman. The young woman that would
get married to be cared for, provided for
and given the things or the position that
she longs for, is not worth having. God
said He made her for a helpmeet. and in
no other position can she fill her place,
be truly happy or make happy home for
her family save in the fulfllment of her
God-appointed position. THE probable
station in life, the vocation to be followed
for livelihood, the tastes and inclina-
tons. the religious convictions, are all-im-
portant questions that cannot be safely
overlooked. The happiness of the after
life depends very much upon congeniality,
and conSeniaiity comes in a large measure
from agreement
While there are objections to early
marriages that are weighty the chances
are that marriage late in life is less likely
TO prove satisfactory. In word, it should
not occur so early as to precede maturity
of body. judgment. of convictions; neither
should it be deferred till habits of life are
so fixed that the characteristics of the
one can not in some degree influence the
other Each should be teachable to that
extent that the best in the other will
weave itself into the weaker one. The
oneness essential to Iappy married life
can come in no other way"

The world is teeming with imitators.
In the use of certain peculiar words

people of one generation after another
initiate this or that celebrity like par

CARELESS sometimes of the rules of
grammar, which seem to have become
a part of many of the college courses.
When it comes to mannerisms fads.
slang and other lessons in friyoHty. the
weakness Of the imitator IS even more
discourag ing. Some generations ago it
occurred to certain desperate reputation
hunters, eager to reform the wicked
portion Of the world. that they might
make a stir by descending even into
the slums and ascending with some
thing to excite popular interest and
shock mankind. Whether they really
went Stunning is by no means Ger
tain; but it is certain that their itera-
ture got before the public excited great
interest and made for them some envi-
able regulations.
Since that time stunning has
come to be a fad that thousands of cur

thing to do, and the tone of the litera-
ture of the original adventures along
this line is something very successfully
ffected.-Galvesto News.

san Francisco, Cal, June 23.-Jim
Corbett came over on this side of the

ternoon and attended to some private
business. He was in evidence at
Brother Harrys place just long enough
to get his mail, chat for few moments
and set sail back to Alameda Cor
belts every move shows the deadly

tations to stay on this side for dinner
and an evening recreation at the the
alter, but he waved them all aside with
the remark that he had a contract on
his hands and would not transgress the
rules laid down for himself in the small
est point. His training table diet is
good enough for him and the seclusion
of his cottage, with its early-to-bed and
early to-rise rules, will be the scene of
his entertainment for the next two
months.
It has been remarked that Corbett is
not as speedy as in the old days, and
wiseacres have shaken their haeds over
the probable outcome when he faces the
giant of the prize ring for second
