Is Marriage a Disease?

Sometimes it seems as though the
anti-divorce enthusiasts were not as
scientific in their methods as they
should pe. The great, abounding cause
of divorce is, of course, marriage, and
marriage, therefore is the thing to in
vestigate. First, then, is marriage a
germ disease? We have considered
this question a long time, getting no
further with it, but the scientific in
vestigators will be able to tell us.
And if it is germ disease, they can
catch the germ, and the germ once
caught, they can get cultures and
compose antitoxins which will strip
this common and serious complaint of
most of it's terrors. And, of course,
once we get marriage under control,
we shall be in position to regulate
divorce with a precision absolutely
scientific, if there is any divorce left
to egulate.-Harpers Weekly.

Spent Fortune in Wee k

Harte's fiction. He had caught it on
the end of his pen and preserved it
for the worlds enjoyment.
This old miner has good deal of
boy remaining in his nature. In his
lonely life in the mountains, prospect
ing for gold and dreaming of wealth,
he probably nourished his spirit with
fancies about the FUTURE should for
tune ever smile on him. A rough fel-
low, hardened by rougher surround
ings, his hero very likely was some
chap who in earlier days had, with a
big "roll'' turned things upside down
in Sacramento OF San Fancisco and
had been the theme ever since Of fire
side eulogy throughout the mining
country. Were the great days no
more? Was the Caucasian race played
out? Did a man with "roll' have to
go on a journey to become hero?
Fortune at last smiled, and here was
the opportunity. The money burned
the old miners pocket. Why not set
the pegs in Nevada for a "lark"? Who
had ever separated himself from $685..
900 in a weeks time without calling
in the aid of faro or draw poker? The
thing could be done and he set out to
do it. He succeeded and now in the
mountain camp again will enjoy the
distinction Of his performance. A
strange life, but stranger are the men
who lead if.

Another unfortunate phase of con-
troversy between a man and bees is
that most men find it difficult to pre-
serve their dignity in mix-up of this
kind. Bees seem not to be bound by
any of the rules governing civilized
warfare. The weight of opinion
among men acquainted with the lido
syncracies of bees is that they are
disinclined to give quarter to the up
setter Of hive. No doubt Steve
Brown feels this.
The man who compounded the al
literative phrase, ''busy bee' knew
whereof he spoke. OF course, if the
bee should busy himself strictly about
his own business, no just complaint
could be made against him; but this
is perhaps too much to ask either OF
bee nature or human nature.
There is a good deal of conceit in
the bee. The bee has other almost
human traits of character. There is
very little reason for the bee to be
conceited. Time was when we de.
pended on him, or her, for our honey.
That time was. Now the bee is no
more essential to the production of
honey than the COW is to butter or
the sugar maple to maple sugar. The
bee is a has-been. Nowadays we get
our "wild-hower and apple-blossom
honey" out of paraff1n and glucose

What Happened to Brown

"Steve Brown of this place, while
boeing in his garden yesterday, acci-
dentally upset beehive, and will be
confined to the house for some days" "
This news dispatch does not tell the
whole story, but artistically leaves
something to the imagination of the
reader. Why must Steve Brown be
con fined to the house for some days
because he accidentally upset a bee
hive? Here is where the imagination
of the reader is supposed to work.
The labor will really not be difficult
to persons who have taken a course
in nature study and who have some
slight understanding of the bee. A
man need not be a goggled entomolo-
gist to know what happened to Brown.
Anybody who has ever experienced
the animated sensation which a bee
can inspire will comprehend the rea-
son for Steve Browns retirement. Up
setting beehive is one OF the most
careless things man can do. No bee
is able to retain his cOmposure under
such circumstances. Bees seem to
view with disfayor man who thus
invades their privacy or interrupts the
happy concord of their domestic life.
Any man who looks for trouble is apt
to find it, but this is especially true
if he looks for it in beehive. Bees
take pleasure in furnishing trouble
to anybody who wants it. The bee

The story comes from little town
in Nevada of miner who at the end
of twenty years of hard work found
himself the possessor of $4,000 in
hard cash, says the Washington Star.
His ambition took a quer turn, and he
wasted his whole store in a week
spent in barrooms with convivial
company. What he and his cronies
did not consume in drink he gave
away, and then, with his pockets
empty, started for the mountains
again, with borrowed outfit, in
search Of another fortune.
When Brete Harte first introduced
men of this sort in his pages the
country made allowances for the ex-
travagance of fiction. Romance, it
was explained, demanded high colors.

we are told, in Mr.. Harte's mind A
poet was entitled to his license. But
many things have happened since to
show that, gifted as he was with
fancy and expression, Mr.. Harte was
a good deal of a photographer. He
gave us, with no material change, men
and women he had known, and des-
cribed scenes he had actually wit
messed. A striking phase of frontier
life had simply found in him an elo-
quent and accurate laureate. Truth,

/ RAIL RoAp RATE leg IS u Tlo oN.49


Testifying before the Senate Com
m1ttee at, Washington, / Interstate
90 Commerce Commission Prouty said
IN discussing the proposition to give
to5that Commission the power to regu-
late railway rates: y; 4.r i
I think the railways should make
their own rates. think they should
0e allowed to. develop their own busi-
ness. / have never advocated any
law, and am not now In favor of
any law, which would put the rate
making power into the bands Of any
commission or any court. While it
may be necessary to do that some
time, while that is done in some
states at the present time, while it Is
done in some countries, I am opposed
to 1t. The railway rate is
property. 1t is all the, property that
the railway has got. The rest of it's
property is not good for anything un-
less it can charge rate. Now it has
always seemed to me that when a
rate was fixed, if that rate was an un-
reasonable rate, it deprives the: rail
road company of it's property pro
tanto. It is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property of a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When
you put in rate that is inherently
unreasonable, you have deprived that
company of its rights, of it's property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that.
I have looked ut these cases
great many times, and I can only
come to the conclusion that rail-
road company is entitled to charge a
fair and reasonable rate. and if any
order of a commission, if any statute
OF state legislature takes away that
rate, the fourteenth amendment pro-
tects the railway company
