A DEFENSE OF DIVORCE.

In the discussion of the so called
divorce evil the published senti.
ment has been all on one side, and
unchecked by opposition it has
drifted to ridiculous extremes.
Those who have written upon
the subject, invariably have been
ones whose home life is blessed
with domestic felicity, and out OF
their appreciation of their own
happy Preside were born sentiments
opposed to laxity in divorce laws.
In the discussion of this, as of all
questions, error has crept in. and
judgment made defective because
of the lack of understanding we
have CT one another.
II is argued that it should be
made difficult to procure a divorce
because such a rule would cause
caution in the formation OF unions,
but unions are formed without tax.
ing this subject into consideration
and how many of the opponents of
divorce spent much thought Of pos
abilities of regret when they con
templated the matrimonial venture2
1t is argued that divorce is wrong
because OF the misery ii brings to
the children Of the parents who
separate, but there is more misery
brought upon the children who
must daily witness gua:rels and
discussion at home, and sometimes
TO see their mother freed by divorce
from the cruelty Of the husband is
relief TO them as well as TO the
wife, or in some instances the hus-
band as the case may be.

community.
Thediyorce is attacked upon Bib
1ical grounds, but Arguments de
rived therefrom shouldserye simply
as reminders Of the fact that error
as well as truth was defended upon
such grounds, aud although the
Bible governs to some extent the
words of men it has little influence
over their actions, and Christians
engage in war in spite Of the COM
mand "Thou shalt not kill.

In many newspaper Offices it is
considered a sacred duty to publish
learned editorials about every so

to sow and how TO reap, when to
market their geese, aud where to
pasture their hens. II is cheerful

THE YOUNG MANS CHANCES

From factory and office up to col.
lege and church the cry is for the
young man. The world is his to
do with as he sees fit. The young
man of today is master of a bust
ness at an age when his grandfath-
er had scarce finished an apprentice
ship. Universal education and
quick and cheap communication
brings TO the young man now
practical grasp of affairs wLi-h
only years of experiences could
give to our fathers fifty years ago,
This is very we'll to know, if the
young man will also keep in mind
the fact that he will not always be
a young man. In the same degree
that he has opportunities when he
is young he will be deprived If
them when youth is gone 1t be
hooves him therefore to provide
against the enforced retirement
that awaits him just at the time
when he may begin to feel that his |
experience fits him for the best
work. If he is past twenty he must
get rid of the notion that he is
preparing" himself for life. 1t
matters not who he is or what he
is, he is living his lie more tense
l. perhaps and more decisively in
all probability than he will ever be
doing at a later period. If the
Young man is waiting for some
rici relative to die and leave him
capital with which to start into
busiress right" he had better
realize that the only way to start
into business right is with two
hands. and that the best capital
nowadays is combination of in
dus'ry. sense, pluck and application.
The young man who has this capt.
tai needs nobody's money. He who
has it not would not succeed if he
had dozen fortunes as FONDA
tion. Money today does less for
young man who will not also do
for himself than ever before in
world history Money, lands. !
and all that form a small. !.
Ter plrt in human life today than !.
ever before Time was when these !,
things comprehended almost all !,
that man knew about or strove for.
But the field of aspiration, of effort :
and of accomplishment has immeas-
lrably broadened and will continue !
o broaden as man develops. There ;.
S no man on this earth so poor, so "
so narrowed by environ
nent but that there is field of
uCcess for him. And the time to d
ind it and fill it is in youth. fl

Luck makes the man. When
things are coming your wav and
you have money in your pocket to
meet all your bills you can smile
and hit the pavement hard with
your heels as YOU sail down the
street. When luck is against you
and you are broke and have to
stand your friends off for what you
owe and what you get, the chesty
feeling is MOI apt to overcome you.
Two weeks ago we met fellow
who was walking slowly and who
was all gloom. No smile fitted
over his face and his greeting was
very short. ''What's the matter,
we asked. Everything" he re-
piled. "Luck is against me in
everything" The other day we
met that same fellow. He was
smiling and was walking briskly
with his head in the air. Hello,
we said, "things must have chang
cd. "You bet they have, an
iwered he, "just had a streak of
uck. Got in one hundred and fifty
dollars thought l had lost. Here

He gave us bill, thanked lis and
vent on down the street to pay
i other man a bill. He was glad
do it. That man was honest,
Ilthogh rumor had whispered hard
h ngs against his credit. 1t is all
ired easy to be honest and dig up
when you have it. When you are
,usted it is another thing. Money

The building will stand in the wes-

has been selected in Judscn's shady
and beautiful campus. The building
will be erected at right angles with
Judsons splendid dormitory and 1t

The interior plan of the new struc-

very similar to those of the library
building which ornaments Perry
