MARRIAGE As A "FAILUREu

~
There is more nonsense talked in the
abstract about marriage as failure than
is talk about any other branch of
the conduct of life. If census on the
subject could be taken am sure it would
be found that the majority of married
people jog along very comfortably and are
much happier in their united state than
they possibly could have been had they
remained unmarried. The number OF di-
vorces is usually quoted TO prove that
marriage is a failure, but whai, after all, il

Council of Jewish Women

Wednesday afternoon, March Goth,
occurred another of the delightful pro-
grams Of the Council Of Jewish women.
Mrs S. Pisko, the president, filled the
chair with her usual brilliancy.
The feature of the afternoon was the
talk of DR.. Phillips, professor of psy
chology at the University Of Denver.
His subject, "The Effect Of Modern
Psychology Upon the Tolerance Of
Thought" sounds almost forbidding to
the average auditor, because of it's prom
ise of extreme depth, but it was handled
so easily, so clearly, so simply, and in
such an interesting manner by DR.. Phil
lips that it proved delight to
the members Of the Council. The

Council was manifestly gratified at
the return of Dr. VIM. S. Fried
man to the city and insisted upon some
remarks at this meeting. With his ever
ready eloquence, depth of thought and
beauty of expression, DR.. Friedman sup.
plemented the remarks Of the principal
speaker with most interesting ideas gath
cred from his vast knowledge OF the sub
ject.
We are indeed indebted to the pro-
gram committee for insisting upon Mrs
Pisko giving us the benefit Of a paper
written by her for the Women's Club OF
Denver. 1t treats Of Hauptman and Su-
derman, a critical and comparative study
of their wonderful plays.
Mrs. Pisko' handled the subject with
deep insight and clear understanding and
she read her splendid paper with finish
possessed by only the few.
The music of the afternoon was IN
charge of Mrs. Helen Wolf, whom we
must thank for an excellent piano solo
by Miss Fauss who is an artist, and all
equally interesting vocal solo by Mrs.
Theresa Jarecki.
There was present from New York
protege of Mr. Jacob Schiff, Miss ROsen-
zweig, who delighted the audience with
two exquisite violin numbers. The

LANDING A BIG FISH

that he has earned his fish. In boxing,
fencing or broadsword play there is a
"let up" time for rest, but in this duel
with the amber jack it is all one round,
and arms and fingers are stiff and
ache. Pressing the thumb on leather
pad for half an hour, holding a stiff
rod in one position is deadly, and the
amber jack appears to have taken his
second wind. Perhaps there Is third
wind for amber jack, as, suddenly,
when courslng along at the surface,
he apparently sees the boat and goes
crazy, plunging down to the mad ac-
claim Of the reel, tearing off the hardly
won line and carrying despair into the
anglers soul.
But this is the beginning of the end,
and, holding the rod and line firmly,
the angler dips the point to the surface
and lifts. "mans the pumps" lifts for
all he Is worth, gains three feet on the
sulker, then, dropping the tip, reels
rapidly, and so, ever repeating the
trick-the only remedy when fishes win
sulk-he regains his lost line and has
the splendid fish in sight again. There
is a fash of silver. yellow and green, a
display of surface below the resilient
rod, then the reel works 1t on the quar-
ter, and as the patch of color surges
Kissing along the negro gaffer drops his
weapon quietly, skillfully under the
fish and lifts him just under the gills,
holds him firmly for a moment while
the spray and spume fly. Then, de-
pressing the rail, he slides the gallant
fighter in, where he hammers the bot
tom as the angler perchance swings his
hat to some distant and less fortunate
friend still at anchor. These are the
moments Of joy IN the life of the an
gler. and surely life is not a failure
along the gulf stream and is worth liv-

The boatman is telling us of certain
catches he has seen when, like an cleo
trio shock, comes the sharp staccato Of
the click. There is no mistaking 1t;
no tide rip here. And see! Look! The
line stiffens, straightens out like a
wire, trembles a second, throwing the
water in crystal drops, and then the
gave is given the butt, and the reel
screams, high and low. as the unknown
jerks the line away in long and splen-
did bursts of speed.
There is always the thought that 1t
may be a shark or a ray or some not
desired yermin, but you have taken the
amber jack before and its sturdy
cousin of the California island, and
there is no mistake about 1t.
Springing to your feet, with the butt
Of the rod firmly In the leather socket
around your waist, you see what a
game fish can do, what splendid
strength he brings into play as he
races away. dragging the line from
beneath your thumb and the heavy
brake, seemingly playing with 1t.
Fifty. 10O 200 feet of line slip away
before the fish Is stopped. and then 1t
appears to strike heavy, determined
blows at the rod, sweeping around in
a splendid half circle, the line cutting
the water and the fish rising with a
peculiar motion.
Amber jacks have been hooked here
that no man could stop. In the Ian
guace of the boatman, they simply
walked away with the line" then
when the end came never stopped, and
iAere is seemingly no limit to the pow
els Of this fellow.
The angler has a start, the thumb
brake of leather stops the run, and the
Dig reel begins the pitiless work. and
while the Jack races he is insensibly
coming In all the time. More than once
he realizes this ana plunges down and
the water is deep enough sulks and
oores like a salmon and with ten times
lis force. But the water Is compare
lively shallow. and the game can only
break away and dash OF fifty feet, to
oe checked again and again. But It
never really surrenders, never really
discovers that it Is in the tolls. Like its
cousin, the California yellowtal, It
lights until it is Ia the boat. and even
Then have seen a fish double and send

HE angler can now see the Jack as
Il races around the boat, and the black
ooatman fingers his gan ready to give

nave slipped away, and the attempts
the oarsman to keep the angler
seefh hrst to the fish and the powerful
roshes have carried the boat out from
more where the fsh has plenty Of wa

YOUNG MEN FOR CONGRESS.

Statesmen Are Best.


Edmund W. Pettus Of Alabama, TIE
oldest man In the United States senata
thinks that only young men should be

Mr.. Pettus will be eighty-six years old
While he doesn't assent to the doctrine
that an old man is worth nothing any
where, he says that he feels convinced
that the senate or the house Of repre-
sentatives is not the place for a man
who is in the declining years Of his
life.
81 don't think we ought to have boys
in our legislative bodies" he said to a

congress men who are over flfty-fve or
sixty years of age. l was seventy six
when | entered upon my duties as
United States senator. was too old
then, and haven't grown any younger
in the ten years I've been here. But
I'm here, and l guess I'll stay. My
notion IS that men from forty to fifty
years o1d-the average man Is In the
prime of his mental vigor at that age
ought to be elected as senators, and
then kept here as long as they are able
to do the required work"
The aged Albanian served as
lieutenant in the Mexican war and as
a brlgadier general in the civil war
and takes great interest in all matters
relating to the military department Of
the government He has not missed
a meeting since the committee on mill
tary affairs began its investigation of
the shooting up" Of Brownsville. He
astonished his colleagues by coming to
the committee recently with a patent
ear trumpet device. which he placed
on his head In order that he might
not miss anything said by the wit
nesses. This apparatus gave him the
appearance of a diver ready to proceed
to the bottom OF the sea. One Of the
colored soldiers was 50 awed by the
apparatus OF the venerable senator
that he could scarcely raise his voice
above a whisper until the chairman Of
the committee had explained the pur.
pose of the headgear.
