The Affinity Business.

Think OF all the romance connected
with seeking your affinity in this big
world. says the Jefferson City Tribune
After you have lived with your wife
fol- seventeen years and have the pos.
terity Of a Mormon, you suddenly dis
cover she is not your Unity, and you
90 hence to search the summer resorts
along the strands Of the sea, to find
her, and-well, perhaps some other
man out for the same purpose ID left
TO look after the flotsam Of your for
mer home.
Amt it glorious, though? this
wearing out Of love to ffazzles and the
recreation which comes in the recoup-
ment Of hooking on to your afinityl
Now suppose hale and hearty old
man Adam had discovered that Eve
was not his affinity and had institut-
ed divorce proceeding on these grounds
in the circuit court OF Eden county
and got his bill Of enforcement? Or
that he sent Eve down the Euphrates
TO seek hers while be took the stage
coach up the Gihon into the land of
Ethiopia to seek his'n? What q sorry
state OF affairs the world would be In,
the mere contemplation OF which is
enough to make Darwin's ashes 20 up
10 a whirlwind Of regenerated forcesl
OF all the new fads this affinity bust
ness is the most supercilliously silly
and is as full Of fsllacy as the atmos-
phere is Of Its component parts. And
whether Cain did bis sparkling up In a
bamboo tree or not,auy man who isn't
satisfied with the affinity Of his we'd
ded love ought to have to sew buttons
on his pants with a cant-hook all the
rest Of his existence.
