"A MY DEAR LITTLE GIRL
N have just received your de-
IVA lisnttal letter telling me all
about the preparations for
your wedding. 1t carries me back to
the time. some forty years ago. when
your dear mother was making similar
arrangements and was doing little
stunt in the same line myself. In
those days the fashions in joyous ap-
parel for men were not so rigidly fixed
as now All your William will have
to do is to raise the price. In my day
1t was different. TO be sure. the cut
of a mans coat and trousers and hat
for such occasions didn't admit of
much variation, but he had more lat
itude in the matter of color and goods,
and rs to waistcoasts. shirts and ties,
he could 60 as far as he pleased with

trip. Don't try to see how many differ

your suit cases. Just pick out some
nice, quiet spot, where you can stay
for a few weeks at cost that will

band can afford, and there pass the
time together as sweetly and happily
as you may forgetting for the moment
that there is anybody else on the face

That kind of wedding trip is pretty
near as good rs none at all. When
your mother and I were married her
horse was saddlcd after the ceremony
and together we rode through the green
bOrlered lanes to the little home |
had prepared for her. That WAS all
there was to it. It's the best way,
think. and yet can't advise you to do
the same. Times change and customs
change with them, and what was
strictly proper forty years ago won't
do now. The trouble with even the
kind of wedding trip | have suggested
is that too much sweetness is likely to
pail. remember once that you got
mighty sick on chocolate drops and
you wouldn't look at chocolate drops
for year. Yet it was the finest kind
Of candy. There's an Old saying that
you can't get too much Of good
thing. but it's wrong. very wrong.
There's nothing finer on earth than the
society of husband and wife, but nei-
ther at the beginning of married life
nor afterward is 1t best to have too
much Of it. It's got to be modified by
the diversions of everyday occupation
before it will keep well. So l say
don't string out your trip too long,

"Edifying Soldiers,

The Troedel Market is on little isl

Market come the mighty armies of tin

pewter and tin, says writer in Every

It. What It means Is that each army
illustrates a battle or campaign-the

war of Thirty Years, the siege of Or
leans, the victories of Napoleon, the
battles of 1870, and that desperate
battle in which a tiny tln hero with
cleaning teeth rough-rode 1t up San

A Gentle Rebuke.

The father Of young and attractive
member of the Society fer the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals tells story
to which she sometimes listens with
mingled amusement and wrath at the
recollection it rouses.
She was walking with her father
along a crowded street one day when
she saw a man driving a coal-cart and
whipping his reluctant horse
''He has no business to. do that?"
she said, Indignantly, bringing her faith
er to standstill II shall go right
cut into the street and stop him."
Hes stopped now" said her father.
Evidently he has balky horse" but
his words fell on stony ground.
''Wlll you give me your name?" said
the stern young woman. looking up at
the driver, and displaying her recently
acquired badge. \
''I'd jist as soon, miss" said the man,
with a broad grin, ''but its so long

Ioyr.,. Pop Corn Belt.

Nearly half the pop corn consumed
in the United States Is raised in the
small county of Sac, in the northwest
ern portion of Iowa. There it has
been found that the soil Is particularly
adapted to it's cultivation. Before the
shows and the street corner merchants
took it up the hot buttered pop corn
wasn't very much in demand. Its cul-
tivation was restricted to few stalks
on the farm that met the home de
mand. A small quantity might be
bought at the store, but it was high in
price and the sales were few.
The breakfast food manufacturers
are now the largest consumers Of pop
corn in the market. Nearly half of
the ready-to-serve foods have con-
siderable percentage Of pop corn. One
brand is practically all pop corn.

WORTH WHILE.

II Is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows along like song.
But the man worth while is the one who
will smile
when everythine goes dead wrong.
For the test OF the heart is trouble,
And Il always comes with the years,
Aud the smile that is worth the praises
90 earth
Is the smile that shines through tears,
II is easy enough TO be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray;
When without or within 40 voice of sin
Is Turing your soul away;
Bus lis only negative virtue
Until il Is tried by FIRE,
And the smile that is worth the honor Of
earth
Is the one that resists desire
by the cynic. the sad, the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife,
The worlds highway is numbered today,
They make up the items OF life:
But the virtue that conQucrs passion,
And the sorrow that hides in smile,
1t is these that are worth the homage Of
earh,
For we find them hut once in while.

Splendid Avenue in Rio do Janeiro
Cut Through the Sums.
The most wonderful feature Of Rio
Z de Janeiro Is the Ayenida Central.
Imagine, If you can, Il city, Chicago,
for instance, awakening to the realiza-
! tlon that there are ugliness, dirt and
disease In It's midst; that its streets
are fll-paved, unwholesome and unequal
to the traffic. Imagine Chicago deter
mined to change all this by drawing
a straight line through her Sums, say
from the river at Madison street to the
corner of Twelfth and Halsted streets,
with other straight lines parallel and
at right angles through other centers
Of slumdom.
And imagine Chicago, after pulling
down brick and stone, wood and plas-
ter, erecting on these straight lines
broad, well-paved, well-lignted avenues,
faced on either side by palaces, shops,
cafes, clubs and business houes, all
newly built according to one harmonl-
Gus scheme, so that air and sunshine
enter where they were before unknown.
anu bO ludl IL DcNOhlCS u piSNoHtS ~
walk where hitherto confusion and dis
comfort were unavoidable.
This Is what Rio did. The Ayenida
was cut literally through the heart Of
the city.
From March 8, 1904, when the firsts
house was unroofed, until the opening
of the Avenida for public use, Nov. 10,
1905-the Brazilian national holiday OF
ndependence-there were GAL houses
demolished and over 1000 persons scat
tered to other and more wholesome
homes. The reactionists who object to
the whole plan say that for tropical
city the old streets were best; that
these new, broad avenues which bring
sunlight into dark places have also
brought the first cases of sunstroke into
Rio. They fall to realize, of course,
what cleanliness and fresh air signify.
The total cost of the Avenida may
reach $SooO0,o00, but it will be worth
every cent Of 1t.
OF course, there are slums still in
evidence in Rio. A city of 10000 peo-
pie, one-third of whom are negroes and
many of these of the lowest, most igHo-
-ant type, cannot be reformed all at
)nce. In the lanes behind the hills and
n the districts around the railway
station there are native hives as pic
and as dirty, though not so
nor so cut off from sunlight
md air, as those at Whitechapel or
East Broadway Magazine.
