EDITORIAL COMMENT.


New York Commercial.
President Eliot of Harvard would like
to see conditions such that college grad
yates would be in position to warrant
marriage at much earlier age than
now So would most thinking persons
ia this hurly-burly American life OF to-
de-
The Commercial is a firm believer in
early marriages. for it isn't good for
parents TO become old folks long be-
fore their children have stepped out
onto the threshold of real life As a
general thing. the man who marrles at
thirty or at .birty-fiye is too old to be
communicable for his boy at twenty
just the time when they ought to be
good chums. On the other hand. the
man who marries at tWenty-one Is
right in the game with his girls and
boys from the time they are twelve up
to the age of twenty-five or so. Would
we could all marry at twenty.
Inc boy who begins work at four
teen" says our neighbor the World,
is, as rule, financially able to marry
carrier than is the collegian whose busi-
mess or professional career does not
open until he is in the tWenties."
That is very true. But does the aver
age bog who = begins business work at
fourteen and marries at twenty or
theFedbout have sufficient grounding
IN those things on which material sue
cess in the world is so dependent? We
fear not. He may be able to get mar
rled al twenty. but is he likely to
progress much from the age of thirty
up to forty and fffty2 Hardly! The
business world has lots of incomDe-
tents IN It today. The encoura gements
to leave school at the age of twelve or
fourteen so as to get ON the pay rolf
somewhere are so many and potent
today that the next generation in bust
nessdom is likely to hold many more
lneomoetents than the present does
If you hope for a business career for
your boy keep him at school as long
as You possibly can. That foundation
VIII tell in the after years. Early mar
rlages are good-provided they don't
furnish the basis for non-success IN
middle life.

restaurant en- Park row" said the OBJ
server. Il noticed two men talking just
below the place as I was going in to get
my lunch. One of them followed me in
and took seat just below me at the ta-
BE. A few seconds later the other entered
and took a seat opposite his friend, whom
he did not appear TO know. The first man
ordered very extensive dinner, commenc-
ing with soup and ending with charlotte
russo and coffee. He got the very best that
the place could afford, and his check for
dollar and thirty-five cents was placed IN
front Of him. The other man took his
time about ordering. taking corned beef
and beans-ten cents worth His check was
placed in the corner OF the table, between
the two men.
No / ate hastily and finished first. He
got un, put on his hat. and then calmly
picked up the ten cent check that belonged

went to the desk, paid ten cents and
walked out. A few minutes later No. ,,
who had been reading the paper, prepared
10 leave and took up the remaining enecA.
He appeared greatly surprised and called
the waiter. asking for an explanation.
There was nothing for the knight of the
napkin TO do but give the man a new ten
cent check, as it was very evident that he
had not eaten 2 dollar and thirty-five
cents worth Of food. I suppose that the
