BITS FOR BACHELORS.

Many men think themselves self
made who are really marriage-made.
The man who avoids matrimony on
account of the cares of welded life
rivals the wiseacre who secured him
self against corns by having his legs
amputated.
Don't marry for beauty alone. Soc
rates called beauty "a short.lived tyr
amy" and Theophrastus pronounced
It "a silent cheat" The man who
marries for beauty alone is as silly
as the man who would buy a house be-
cause 1t had fine flowers in the front
garden.
1t Is in life as It is with a kite; 1t
will not fly very high until it has a
string tying it down. And so the man
who is tied down by half dozen re-
sponsibilities and their mother will
make higher and stronger fight than
the bachelor who, having nothing to
keep him steady, is always floundering
in the mud.

BROKEN BOW,
The Sewage Problem.

AhC PTWuB1 GIODltlIs
Every great city and many large
towns are confronted with the serious
problem of the sanitary disposition of
sewage. The effect OF the waste mat
ter Of one settlement in the water-sup-
ply of its neighbor, not felt in wide
thinly populated country, grows dan
gerous as communities by their in
crease approach one another. The
problem Is complicated by the rapid
increase OF knowledge as to the sources
and the distribution of disease-germs.
Some seaboard cities pump their sew
age far out In the salt water, which
largely absorbs and reconverts the
dangerous matter or precipitates 1t to
the bottom. But some OF the waste
poisons sea foods, notably oysters

posture of all parts Of the water to

less, the only sure safety lies in the
absolute prohibition of discharge from
sewers into any lakes or streams with
water connections however remote, to
sources of water-supply. 1t is wiser

purify polluted water by municipal
filtration plants. Prevention Is better

Victor Hugo pointed out the riches
that the sewers of Paris were throwing

HORSE LEAPS OVER Go-cART
Child at Bound Without
Hurting It.

Atlantic City, N. IA hair-raising
escape from death by the infant daugh-
ter of Miles Barnett, contractor, and
the remarkable instinct of a runaway
horse were the thrilling features Of a
runaway on the West side, where the
rampant animal, seemingly about to
trample the child, leaped completely
over the go-cart, leaving the baby un-
scathed.
The horse took fright at an automo-
bile, broke away from the vehicle 1t
was drawing and dashed madly
through thoroughfare crowded with
wagons. Mrs. Barnett did not see the
animal until 1t was almost upon her.
Unable to draw her baby carriage
away, she fell fainting 10 the side
walk.
Jacob Kumpf, a butcher, bravely
leaped in front of the horse and at
tempted to swerve 1t to one side.

Invested in Amusement Parks.

The estimated Investment in sum-
mer amusement parks in this country
will reach a total of $100,000,000 this
year, we are told by The Railway and
Engineering Review. Says this paper:
'"The total number of parks is esti-
mated at 1000, and three-fourths Of
chat number are controlled by and op-
Grated for electric railway lines. This
figure for the investment seems high,
and the more 80 when it is known that
the many small resorts, gardens
groves etc, found in every locality
are not included. 1t Is probable, how
ever. that the figure may be accepted
as representative. though 1t will CORE
spond more nearly to the advertised
cost of each specific resort rather than
the actual cost, the two sums fire.
quently being quite different. At any
rate the investment will reach an as
tonishing total, and it calls attention
to an interesting development in trans
portation."

Outsider Won Bride.

The houses were finished and fur
nished early in April, and Shaw, Pet

for the test. Each called on Miss
Strain and arranged to drive her to
what each hoped would be her new
home. Ryder was to call at ten a. m,
Shaw at two p. M, and Pettingill at
five p. m.
They called. They grew impatient.
They called again.
1t was not until the next day that
they learned that Miss Strain had
gone to New York early in the morn
ing and married Give Stevenson, a
handsome young electrical engineer
just out of scientific school. Then they
were angry. Also BENZ. Strain was
angry. He was so angry he told the
young couple to shift for themselves
when they sought his blessing, and he
was angrier when Stevenson took him
at his word and departed with his
bride. And he grew still angrier when,
after waiting week, he discovered
that his daughter and his son-in-law
were keeping house in three rooms in
Flatbush.
He sought them, asked them to for
give him, and offered to buy anyone

son would select, but Stevenson told
him he could support his wife.

ham is the daughter-inl law of Lydia Z.
Pinkham and for twenty-five years
under her direction and since her de-

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Three years ago life looked dark to me.
l had liberation and inflammation of the

"Your medicine is certainly fine. / have

Brooklyn.-There are three new.
beautiful houses in Brooklyn that
bear For Sale signs in their win
dows. There are three disconsolate
young architects who built these
houses, but who never go near them.
And in little three-room fiat in the
Flatbush district Mr.. and Mrs. Give
Stevenson are happy.
1t was for Mrs Give Stevenson that
the three homes were built-or rather
for Miss Helen Strain. Or rather, to
be exact, one was built for Mrs. Hen
ry L. Ryder, another for Mrs. Noble
I. Shaw, and yet another for Mrs. NJ.
l.. Pettingill. But then Mrs. Steven
son, Miss Strain, Mrs. Ryder, Mrs.
Shaw and Mrs. Pettingill are all the
same person. She was Miss Strain,
she became Mrs. Stevenson, and the
three architects who built the three
houses expected her to become Mrs.
Ryder, Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Pettingill.
Was q Spoiled Beauty.
Miss Strain was beauty, and Mrs.
Stevenson is beauty, and she would
have been a beauty if she had become
Mrs. Ryder, Mrs. Shaw or Mrs. Pet
ungill. And. being beauty, she was
spoiled, although few months ago
1t would have been hard to convince
Stevenson, Ryder. Shaw or Pettingill
that she was spoiled-or anything else
than the personification of perfection
In femininity-and Stevenson still be-
lieves she is perfect. She is now %
years old, tall, slender, graceful, and
as pretty as girl may be.
She was the daughter of BENJAMIN
Strain-he signs it Benj.-wno is
contractor and builder living on East
ern parkway. Her mother died when
the girl was small. She was raised
by her father assisted by housekeep-
ers, who bowed down before Miss
Strain, and the father granted her
every desire. She was a sweet tenn
pered, good natured, merry, lovable
girl-especially lovable--as Is proved
by the experiences of Stevenson, Ry-
der, Shaw and Pettingill, but, having
had her own way all her life, she con-
ttnued to have 1t.
