noLp woMAN.s" DARLING.


"Old mans" darling as term of
contempt, must give way to the "old
woman's" darling of the later devel-
opment in speculative matrimony.
We have for example young Miner,
who married the widow of the Cali
fornia multi-millionaire, and who
now seeks divorce in order to mar
ry a pretty blonde" He is like the
gambler, who wins a pot with stack
ed cards, and then goes against a
faro layout. Mrs. Miner may live
to see the pretty blonde" revenge
the outrages she has suffered.
Young Carew, an actor, weds dear
old ELLEN Terry? There are pros
poets Of ultimate good in the "Old
Woman's" darling ideas that were
utterly lacking in the older form of
marrying for money. Then 1t was that
parents gave their daughters in mar
riage to decrepit bachelors or wild
overs, with pile, figuring that a
few years of bondage would be fully
repaid the young thing by the dover
which would eventually be hers.
The "Old Woman's" darling idea
offers opportunity for the endowment
of brains. The young scientist, the
young professional man or scholar,
lacking means but possessing certain
charms and social graces may win a
wife, who figures low In the mortali-
ty tables and high in the bank books.
Thus, possibly a fortune wrung from
the rock-ribbed hills OF by delving
deep in the pockets of the public,
may be turned to account in the ame-
Iteration of the human race.
So far, of course. the benefclaries
OF the matrimonial institution have
possessed only the social graces, and
have lacked the scientific inclination;
but let us hope on and on, and per-
haps this suggestion may strike the
eye Of some aspiring. but despond-
ent student, and set him on the right
road to fame IL he will but put away
his microscope and butterfly net, and
don a tuxedo. After all the romance
and adventures Of fortune seeking In
modern times are no less entertain
ing now than In ages past. The field
OF operations are different, that is
all And who can say that the bowels
Of the earth contain any more hor-
rors than the bosoms Of some fami-
lies.

The school board has made a good
selection in the site for the new
south side school house. Careful
study of the population to be reach
ed by the school has demonstrated
to the trustees that they have plac-
ed the building as near the center as
practicable. They were in danger at
one time of punching the school
houses. 1t is apparent that in maxi
ing this selection the trustee were
guided by nothing except the princi,
pie of doing what is best for the in
terests of the schools.
