a city in which 1t is held Is shown in the fact that the expenses of the late conven- ton in Los Angeles were $500 a day for the month that 1t lasted. It was attended by>52s delegates, representing 646 divisions and the per diem allowance for each was more divisions that each man represent ed.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

N SPITE of the tendency of modern
 times 1t Is possible to be happy though married. Now an then pic- lures appear in the papers of two old peo- Ile who have celebrated their golden wedding after fifty years of matrimonial bliss. The public makes great ado oyer their successful voyage over the sea of life, as the country editor styles it. and great many people wonder how 1t is done. There is an old couple in Brook Iyn who have lived happily together for sixty-five years, and have never had quarrel No chorus girl affairs have in- vaded the sancity of their home and 1t is presumed that they never had an at tack of too much mother-in-law. At 90 years of age the husband wonders why everybody eanr ot be happy, put the an- swer is easy. Every husband Is not like him, and every wife is not like his wife. Amid the ceaseless activity of divorce courts the shining example of these old people is one to be admired, even if 1t cannot always be followed.
 A Los Angeles justice of the peace has just revealed his sound, common sense after he had made the twain one. Of course the count was indignant at having his countess mishandled so soon after marrying her, but that was because he did not know the proper caper for we'd dings m Uncle Sams domains If all brides were as kissable as some brides and the minister or justice of the peace performing the ceremony could have the option of kissing them or not, the cus- tom would be much in favor but as things are now man is afraid to kiss a pretty bride, and does not care to kiss an ugly one. All brides are not pretty, whatever may be the views of the bride grooms
 While on such a pleasant theme as brides 1t would not be amiss to remark that Robert H. Ingersoll, the man who was made famous by the dollar watch and also sells things by mail has just taken unto himself wife. While MT. Inger- soil could hardly be called philanthropy ist there is no doubt that he has brought 6AddiCSc LO lilC Ol iduy sIldll boys and satisfaction to tho minds of thousands of laboring men by his ability to sell very good watch for the small sum of one dollar Incidentally we may suppose that MT. Ingersoll has not lost any money by selling watches so cheap ly and will be able to keep his wife in some comfort
 A man fell into eighteen feet of water at Coney island the other day and his life was probably saved by a big quid of to- bacco which he had in his mouth at the time of the accident. The tobacco lodged in his throat so that he did not fill up with water and when he was hauled to shore the quid was extracted. Still people talk of the evil effects of using tobacco Every day we have new example of its service to mankind. The proffer of a cigar is the surest way to make friends with a man, while tobacco smoke has eissipated more troubles than all the long winded argument in the world.
