MARRIAGE AND LONG LIFE.
People Joined in Matrimony Live
Longer Than Those SinqIe.

Scientific research justifies the rule,
Marry and live to ripe old age" AT
ter long experience with mortality
tables Frederick L. Hoffman. a writer
upon insurance subjects, demonstrates
the influence of marriage on longevity.
Interesting figures show that the NOR
tality of married males has been con-
siderably below the mortality of sin
gle males at all ages, the difference
being most noticeable between the
age periods of forty-five and sixty
four years. Between those ages,
roughly speaking. three single men die
to two married ones. The rate of fe-
males gives result favorable to mar
ried women. Although their death
rate is greater than that of single
women in the period between fifteen
and forty-four years, after that period
the proportions are reversed in favor
of married women.
In both sexes below the age of forty
the deaths among married persons,
due to certain specific causes, are
slightly in excess of deaths among
single persons. The causes are can
Ger, tumor. nervous diseases, circula-
tory, digestive and urinary diseases.
Bat deaths from consumption among
single persons are preponderatingly
greater than those among the married.
Above the age of forty-five the NOR
tality of the married in both sexes,
from all causes, is much less than that
of single people. MIR. Hoffman unhes-
itatingly concludes that marriage
makes for long life. Undoubtedly
many factors other than the fact of
marriage contribute to decide the Ques-
tion of longevity. The questions of
regular living and settled habit must
be considered as well as that OF the
human being fulfilling his natural des-
tiny and following natural laws.-St

CHAPTER XII.
The Dog Courier.

Paul Miller drew his rife to his
shoulder and let drive two or three
shots in quick succession, sending
their late captors flying helter skelter
to the rear of the cavern. Whether
any Of them were wounded by his
bullets or not he did not stop to
learn. He then seized the rifles,
blankets and caps and the two men
FASTENED away from the cavern, TAX
ing the precaution to secure not only
the rifles, but three pistols and all the
belts of cartridges they could find.
Both Of them had filled their capa-
cious pockets with dried moose meat
until they stuck out like stuffed tur-
keys.
They broke two of the rifles because
they could not carry them and
strapped the others on their backs.
Long they travelled in western di-
rection, guided by the stars. They
had given up all hope of finding their
Metlakahlan friends, who no doubt
supposing them lost. had returned to
their home on the island. After wan
dering three or four hours into the
forest and being completely ex-
hausted, the two fugitives rolled
themselves in their blankets and
slept. They dared not build a fire,
for it might attract the attention of
their pursuers.
When day dawned they made
breakfast on some of the dried moose
they had brought with them and pre-
pared to resume their journey. They
discovered that they were gradually
ascending a mountain side. On all
sides of them were forests of screggy
spruce, the trees seldom being over
five or six inches in diameter, and
ferns and other forms Of plant life
were occasionally noted.
At last they came to great cleft
between gigantic snow-robed noun
tains.
The first night after they began
their ascent they camped on the
mountain side near spring and
spread their blankets under the lee of
a large bowlder.
Hope had been revived in the breast
of Paul Miller, but his companion, who
had been deceived and cheated SO
often by outrageous fortune. evinced
little or none of his spirits.
I'VE are long way from civiliza-
tion yet" he said to one Of Pauls
remarks about their being safe. $50

seems to have taken possession of my

head was bent on his hands, and he
was silent, while darkness came over
the scene.

known region was but a repetition OF

approaching on the mountain side the
line OF eternal snow. A few hundred
yards more of climbing brought them
to the summit of the divide, where
there was a pile of stones which
seemed to have been placed there by
human hands. No life of any kind
was visible. unless that white speck
on the distant ledge be dog or

To the Honorable, the members of
the Town Council of the Borough of
Laporte, Pennsylvania:
The petition of the undersigned
citizens and taxpayers of said Boro.
respectfully represents: That the
practice of permitting cattle to run
at large upon the streets and public
highways within the limits of the
Borough has become nuisance that
should be abated by action of the
Borough authorities. AS a result of
this practice, unnecessary fences are
required to be built, side walks are
broken up, pavements kept in filthy
condition and yards and gardens are
constantly in danger of being broken
into, trampled upon and destroyed.
We therefore petition your Honor
able body to enact an ordinance pro-
hibiting the running at large of
horses, cattle, sheep and swine with
in the limits of said Borough and
prescribing proper penalties for the
violation of the same:
The above petition was circulated
previous to the meeting of town
council Tuesday evening of this week
for the purpose of bringing to the
attention of that august body the de-
sires of the tax payers who have
some pride in the appearance of the
town and also habit of preserving
cleanliness about their surrounding
and spark of humane sense to re-
spect the modesty of feminine nature.
There were just few who looked
with disfavor on this petition. Some
preferred not to meddle with old time
custom; Others had politics on the
brain. Opposers admit that it is
just little annoying to step out upon
the side walk after twilight and
take frequent foot baths in manure
which by daily application preserves
a freshness that is only parallel to
those who uphold it in spite of the
protests made against it. They con-
tend that it would not be so bad if
property owners would be more
watchful and keep their walks shov-
eled off. If it is not convenient to
always carry shovel, you can use
your hands to remove it, is about
the style of arguments they use.
The petition was taken to the
council chambers but the news of
petition in circulation may not have
caused absentees, however, there
were but three councilmen present.
1t was decided to hold another meet
ing at some other time and place;
we did not learn where or when.
The above petition will be further
circulated and again published with
the names of the signers and also
those who favor the filth upon our
streets and whose judgement directs
the injustice of compelling A. to
stand the expenses of keeping BIS
cattle. 1t is pity that such large,
modern and well conducted house as
the Laporte Hotel and other invit-
ing hostilerys of town, located as
they are on plateau, high, cool and
still, over 2000 feet above sea level,
where the eye is ever met with a
glorious panorama of mountains,
woods and streams, should be made
to suffer lack of business in point
of summer guests, because b. must
have free pasture for his cattle and
thus make barnyard of the town.
Why should B. be given the privi-
lege of monopolize all the resources
of the town when A. pays takes on
the bulk of the real estate?
