Corporation Danger.

Mr.. simmons said that the workings
ana dangers Of great corporations and
multl-mlllOnaire enterprises have not
been and are not as fully understood
as their advantages. He believed that
their dark side had been investigated ana
set out as lucidly and forcibly as
their bright side. He referred TO the
growth of the Socialist movement as
shown by the last presidential elections
as due largely TO the fact that the
masses see large fortunes accumulated
b$ dishonest means and, when so ac-
cumuiated, combined to smother indi-
Nluual enterprise. He believed, however
mat the situation was not without hope,

TWINS WE'D: MIX RELATION
Bridegrooms' Father Is Husband of
Girls Mother-Other Fea-
lures of Tangle.

Toledo. O.-One of the most re-
markable marriage ta-glcs ever
Known was presented TO the authori-
ties in probate court here. when
Edward and Fred Metzger. TWINS.
made application to marry sisters,
When the clerk was preparing the
papers it was learned that an elder
brother OF the twins had married a
sister Of the two prospective brides
of the twins.
A look at the entry journal showed
that in May 1904, Albert Metzger. a
brother, had married Ida Miller. the
third sister. While the people in the
court were having a good laugh at
this, Edward spoke up end said:
Let me tell you something that will
set You to thinking deeper. Our IA
ther is the husband OF the girls
mother"
Lewis C. Metzger married Mrs.
Christine Miller Metzger, and had
three sons. two of them twins. Mrs.
Miller had three daughters. Now the
daughters become the brides of the
sons. In other words, Metzger is the
father-in-law of his stepdaughters, and
Mrs. Metzger is the mother-in-law of
the stepsons.
Mrs. Metzger was married four
times. Her second marriage was to
the brother of her present husband,
but by that union she had no chill
dren. Here are some of the puzz es
to work out: If your two brothers
married sisters of your wife, what re-
lation would your children be to your
brothers children, or what relation
would they be if you and your broth
er's father took for his second wife
the mother of the girls who are now
the wives of the three sons?
In spite of all, the complication is
entirely legal, because there is no
blood relationship between the con-
tracing parties.
