FEW EARLY MARRIAGES NOW.
Men and Women Await Arrival of
Years of Discretion.

The marrying age is steadily re-
ceding, and it is quite within the
range of probability that Al will be
regarded in the future as the equiva-
lent of the present 81.
This is partly due to the keenness
of the struggle for existence; a man
desires to attain a position before
marrying, and he finds the years
slipping by with disturbing rapidity
while he is climbing the ladder,
Both men and women too, fear that
they may be deceived and many
enter into partnership with one who
will turn out to be undesirable.
So they will spend the earlier years
and then the glamor of his single life
will wear off. They will have gained
experience enough to enable them to
judge character with fair accuracy
and then will thus be less fearful OF
being taken in"
They will feel that after all, it Is
better to settle down with a partner
And then marriage will come in mid
die age. The love making will not be
the same, but it may well be more
solid fire-quieter, but more enduring

NIMBLE WIT OF A PORTER.
ST. Paul Sleeping Car Attendant Tells
Why He Went to Sleep.

Among the railroad visitors in town
yesterday was F. A Miller, general
passenger agent of the Chicago. Nil
waukee & st. Paul railroad, says the
Cleveland Leader. He visited all of
the general Offices in town and at the
Hollenden hotel told story Of one
of the sleeping car porters who was
recently found asleep while on duty.
This is contrary to the rules of the
st. Paul road, and the negro man was
in trouble when found by the inspector
on the Pioneer Limited He had his
wits about him, however, and in re-
Spouse to the inspectors inquiry as
to what he was doing asleep, he said !:
'Pll tell you how it was, boss

short time and before coming here |
was working on such and such rail

could not get any sleep. Since l have
been working for the St Paul the road

not keep awake"
Mr.. Miller says that while the negro
violated the rules he was permitted
to keep his job on account of his wit

NORTHWESTERN
TO QUIT BIG 8
Move Is in Line With Con
sentative Policy Adopt
ed Last Year.
THEY MAY LEAVE TODAY
Another Meeting of Members of Con-
ference To Be Held
at Once.

Northwestern university's relations
with the Western Collegiate Confer
ence association may come to an end
before another athletic season has
passed. According to certain authori-
ties of the Big Nine" the Methodist
schools action in abolishing football
for five years and its continued act
ivtty in the college organization as
voting member has put it in an IN
popular position, and its resignation
from the big Nine" may be forthcom-
ing as the result of the strained rela-
tions.
When the Evanston school abolished
intercolIeg fate football last fall in IA
vor of inter-clasS games it was be-
lieved that 1t would remain passive
in regard to questions as it affected
other institutions. The fact that the
Northwestern faculty recently voted
against the proposed changes in the
football reforms" and that its vote
probably will defeat the seven game
schedule recommended by the confer
ence at it's last meeting, presages the
schools withdrawal from the confer
ence, according to the information
given yesterday by a prominent mem
Der of the Big Nine
May Be Settled IOdaF.
The question may come up today
when the conference representatives
meet at 10 o'clock at the Auditorium
Annex in their second talk fest" to
decide upon the changes.
The meeting today is expected to set
tie the fate Of next years football
schedules, early practice, participation
of "fourth-year" athletes in the COM
ing winter and spring season and the
competition of freshmen in basket ball
and the minor sports. The seven
game" recommendation is in the ball
ance and will have a hard time to
weather the clinic
Several other questions Of interest
also may be thrashed out The semi
annual sensation in regard to summer
baseball probably will be on hand, and
Chicago, Michigan and Wisconsin may
decide their various differences. The
conference will bring out a discussion
of dates, and 1t is likely that good
part of the football schedule will be
arranged.
Illinois, Wisconsin, Purdue and
Northwestern have expressed opinions
against the seven-g game recommends
ton, but it will not be known until
/
the representatives of these schools
will act under sealed instructions
| against the rule.
Following are the remaining recon-
mendations which will be acted upon:
That the "three-year" rule shall not
apply to athletes who regularly would
finish their four years of competition
this spring or next year.
That football practice shall begin at
all colleges not earlier than Sept. 20.
That a maximum admission of so
cents shall be charged for two of the
seven games.
That two umpires shall be used in all
games.
That coaches and officials shall not
publicly express their personal opinions
after football games.
That the "four-year" rule shall apply
only to football. baseball and track.

A Mile of Pennies.

The endless chain having outltved
it's usefulness, charity workers in GER
tain fields cast about for something
new to gather in the money. One Of
them figured that between $500 and
5000 could be secured from mile Of
pennies if placed in a line. A roll of
court plaster, measuring ten yards,
similar to that used by physicians,
was secured, and sent out in bits.
In little while they came back filed.
Then other rolls went through the
same process, and before a month the
mile of pennies" had been secured.
AS the rolls are filed the money is
taken off, so that if the scheme be-
comes popular the government need
fear no tightness in the copper cent

Kfddish High school Boys Who Did
Not Know How to Conduct Them
selves Away From Home Are PHn-

The members of the North Division
high school football team were barred
yesterday from participation in any
future high school athletic event" be-
cause Of their trouble over the collec-
ton of Souvenirs" during their Seattle
trip. Principal oliver S. Wescott of the
high school made the announcement of
his ruling to the boys early in the aft
ernoon, and the school management
committee of the board of education
later Endorsed unanimously his action
at the suggestion of Superintendent
Cooley.
The concurrence of the committee
will aid the principals in dealing with
future situations of this character" be-
gan superintendent Cooley of the com
mitteemen.

matter is brought before the committee
at the suggestion of Superintendent

Did you permit the boys to go?"
asked another trustee.
Il sat down upon the plan," said Mr.
Westcott. II was opposed to it, but
the parents of each boy gave him writ
ten consent and they went They acted
like all young football teams do when
travelling"
Miss Jane Adams, head of the com
mittee put the motion, and it passed
unanimously. This is the most drastic
action relative to athletics taken by the
school board for several years, with
the exception of the adoption of rules
relative to fraternities.
IF l had the power I would prohibit
all those long journeys of athletic
teams" said Superintendent Cooley
later. The boys are too young fol-
such trips. But with the limited au-
thority the school board has over ath-
letics I cannot see how the board car
