Saturday afternoon, a 10-cent team
was standing in front of Wards hard
ware store and the driver, having left
it for a few minutes, the horses became
uneasy ard started out at brisk pace.
They had gone but short distance,
however when a lady coolly stepped
from the sidewalk and, taking one of
the horses by the bride, stopped the
team until the driver arrived on the
scene.

"And, thirdly, it denounces In vigorous terms
the man or woman who deliberately avoids
marriage and has a heart so cold to know no
passion and brain so shallow and selfish as to
dislike having children
This last IS the lightning stroke of the letter,
and as such am afraid it may dazzle and turn
attention away from the really important warn
ing given in the second of the three heads into
which have divided the substance of the let

but it is Of really little Importance, because as
compared with the whole nation, the cold-blood-

The second heading, then, is that-which re-
qufres the most serious thought. Is 1t a fact
that other ideals come before the ideal love, in
Guiding marriage and the joys Of paternity or
maternity? That it is a fact every one who
will look fairly and squarely at the case must

marriage is threadbare, and that anything that
can be said upon it has been said and said
a thousand times. Such utterances are thought
to be excuse enough for dismissing the subject
but not attitude could be more unphilosophical.
The very fact that the subject comes UP again
and again shows that it is vital and deserves and
claims attention. If We too lazy or too
stupid to look into it and to help to form q
body Of opinion healthy and reasonable, which,
when 1t Is large enough. will crystalline into
some practical results. so much the worse for
us and our immediate descendants.
The chief value indeed, of the presidents
letter Is its extreme seriousness. This is no
subject to be discussed off-hand because 1t is
'threadbare.' 1t is on which the lives Of
nations depend, and it depends whether
whole peoples rise into realms of higher bodily
and mental vigor and of greater happiness, or
SILK INTO corruption with all it's attendant mean
ness and miseries. Let every one who has the
health and the wealth of his race at heart take

And what is the tenor of the presidents
message? Briefly analyzed it falls under three
heads
First it emphasizes Strongly the immense
importance of the subject for the life of the ma
tion' This is a simple biological matted and
there can be no two minds about it, Unless
there is numerous and healthy progeny the next
generation will be worse than this and the. ma
ton will be on the down grade &1sf1
secondly, it contains a solemn warming
against the evils Of letting worldly PROSPERITY

auty OF every adult citizen-to marry and to
beget or bear children.

admit Surely. then, like wise physicians, we
should try to discover its cause.
I'm the first place, I affirm without the slight
est hesitation that the instinct and ideal of love
rise in the breast Of every normal youth or
maiden as he or she approaches maturity And
L also affirm that every sensitive youth and
maiden suffers cruelty when his her ideal is
ruthlessly trampled upon by world hurrying
by on some quest compared with which their
young loves are not worth even a smile or de-
rision. Make haste to be rich is the cry. 1t

London Life.

The trusting. generous letter which
Joris had written to his son-in-law
arrived a few days before Hyde's de

Hyde knew well the Importance OF
Katherine's fortune. 1t enabled him
to face his relatives and friends on
a very much better footing than he
had anticipated. So he was no longer
averse to meeting his former compan-
ions; even to them. a rich wife would
excuse matrinmony.
His first social visit was paid to his
maternal grandmother, the dowager

most careless dishabille, wigless and

in an old wadded morning gown that

nothing whatever to amuse her. and
