Love Is Rarely Factor In tho Well
ARRANGED Matches.


"Love,' says a writer in the Lon
don Express, "enters very little into
the making of French marriages.
French people marry because it is to
their mutual interests. In aristo-
cratic marriages love is seldom taxi
en- into consideration. 1t is purely q
question of convention, of decoruin,
Of mutual convenience. Among the
middle or bourgeoise classes mar
fiage is principally a question of
pounds, shillings and pence. a man
ufacturer, lawyer, an official, al
officer or a merchant looks forward
IN contracting marriage to finding
in the shape of his wife's dowry val
ue corresponding to the position he
holds or the annual income he de-
rives from his profession or bust
ness. One of the first cares of a
French father is to provide a dowry.
The larger the dowry the more ex-
acting will he become es to the sta,
tus of a possible son-in-law. Such
marriages are nearly always arrang-
ed by the parents or near relatives
on both sides.
The young Frenchlnan who de-
cides it is time to marry seldom fix
es his choice on my particular girl.
lie allows his relatives to look
around for him. He manages to OBJ
tain by well known articles view
of the person who is suggested to
him as suitable parti, and if she is
sufficiently presentablc to please him
and the two families can come to
terms Us regards money matters the
proposal is made in due form. A few
weeks later the marriage takes
place. The girl, it will be seen, has
scarcely been consulted, but such is
the manner of her bringing up that
she is generally quite content to
leave matrimonial matters in the
hands of her father and to. accept
the husband he has selected for her.
"In France hasty marriages, long
engagements and breaches of prom
ise are practically unknown. The de-
sire. to obtain quid pro quo in mar
riage extends even to the masses, to
the peasantry and the working class
es. A small peasant farmer who is
the proprietor of FIVE acres Of land
and ten COWS would consider he had
made an extremely bad bargain if
he were obliged to marry his son to
the daughter of d man who owned
but three acres and six cows. Never
theless it is n remarkable fact that
the proportion of unhappy French
marriages is comparatively small.
Love IS not 30 frequent between
married couples as affectionate
friendship. ~

Tho EnurtIa Einasr.

The wedding ring is almost inYa-
riably placed on the. fourth finger Of
the left hand and all because many
centuries ago the egyptians believed
that certain small artery proceed

COCK FIGHTING.
A Very Ancient and at One Tihne q
Royal Sport.

Royal Sport.
That breed of fighting po..try
known as Dorking has an ancient
history. The Romans introduced it
into England and taught the Britons
to breed it for the table. But Caesar
and his legions found one breed of
poultry already domiciled in that
country imported by even earlier
visitors, the Phocnic;ans. These
fowls were kept for plcaGre and di-
versinn-that is, for cock fqhtirs--
and the breed was already mary CEN
turies old when the Romans came.
| The Phoenicians and 1tu, Creeks
knew all about the game fow;. They
drew their knowledge of the sport
from the Persians, while in India,
nearly 5000 years ago, the fighting
cock i11glH and flourished as it does
to this day.
Cock fighting was royal sport in
England, though now and again
| edicts against it were promulgated.
King Edward III. issued one, and SO
did Henry VIII, though the latter
monarch had cockpit built in
Whitehall so that he himself might
indulge in the pastime. But no
edicts could put an end to cock
fighting, and it hourished under the
Stuarts, though Cromwell prohibit
ed it. There is an interesting record
Of the sport in the reign of Charles
II. Cosmo, grand duke of Tuscany,
while paying England a visit went in
state "to the theater appropriated to
cock fighting, common amusement
of the English, who even in the pub
lie streets take a delight in seeing
such battles, and considerable bets
are made on them" !,
Cock fighting in England reached
its zenith early in the last century.
At that time distinguished visitors
were treated by each corporation to
cock fights instead of fireworks and
music by the local band. Every
sporting nobleman had his own
strain of game fowl. The numbers
that were kill,.1 in the ring were
immense. In :. single season in one
town 1000 cocks perished. In the
Easter week Of 1929 in one pit 1873
cocks fought each cther and 100000.

Gays after we was shut up there, the
men reached US and hauled us out.
We were pretty near gone, but AL,
when they were taking him out OF the
mine, says to his father, who wss hug.
ging him:
- We didn't get scared once.'
'Ais my partner, and he's game. "
SO there is one Of the perils in e
boys life underground; and, although
mine owners arc more careful with
their employees than ever before, they
do get caught. But they do not fear
cavern so much as they do an ex-
plosion OF gas. These explosions
are more frequent in coal mines than
gold or silver mines, but they may
happen anywhere. In the rock of the
earth there are many pockets" or
sealed places. where foul-air gas has
accumulated. The opening of these
places lets the gas out, and, if it
reaches a flame, terrific explosion
must follow with loss of life and per-
haps ruin of the mine.
The mine boys have pets in their
work. Where their pushcarts are
hauled by donkeys or small horses,
they make friends with them. Some
times they will cultivate a rat, for
rats like mine shafts and easily live
in them. In mines in the West that
are old and deep, there are pet mules,
cats and dogs that have never seen
daylight. They have been born in tho
mines and always kept there, and,
while they can see with wonderful
skill down there, if they were to come
into the sunshine, it would be long
time, If ever, before they could en-.
duro it.
remember once standing with
Governor Roosevelt, now President,
on the 900.foot level Of famous COP.
per mine in Montana. An electric
cage had carried US down that depth.
Mine boys and men crowded about
the governor and gave him q, cheer,
and then he talked to them about
being good citizens and aiding to keep
this government one Of the best on
earth:
Although the boys had. soiled
clothes aud grimy faces, With eyes
SO bright owing to their living in
partial darkness that they shown like
stars, they listened &c .he governor
more easerly, think, than boys
might who live in the open air. He
shook hands with all Of them, and
then they showed him through the
working parts ofthe mine.
A boy who once takes to mining
rarely gives it up. There ia a fasoi-
nation in the work, hard 90 it is, that
keeps h digging and digging to the
end of his days. He understands the
inside Of the earth as a country boy
does the pastures and grain fields; and,
while he has no sunshine nor stars, he
is q patient, hard working and exceed.
ingly brave kind Of boy. ..5

ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
Father Of Five Children Is Placed In
Jail at Port Huron.

jail DIT SOTs huron.
Port Huron, Mich. April 24.-Ac-
companied by his five children, rang
ing in age from to ii years, Arthur
Laponce is now lodged in the county
Jail on serious charge. Laponce was
locked up but the children were al
lowed the freedom of a room in the
courthouse.
Laponce lives at the Flats near AL
gonac. His wife died three years ago,
since which time his household has
been looked after b. his eldest daugh-
ter, Hannah. A few weeks ago she left
home TO go to Detroit.
Since then the officers have heard
some complaints about Laponce's con-
duct with his children, and on the
story OF Hannah decided to take the
entire family into custody. A formal
warrant will be issued against La
ponce on her charges. which the father
denies completely.
Laponce, who is IS years old, is also
suspected of having robbed cottages
at Pearl Beach. His children are in
pitiably destitute circumstances.
