ambitions are to be encouraged in

ping stone in a political career. In

used, with all its functions and pre-
negatives, simply to promote the ad-

taxpayers will find afterward that
they have been mulcted to pay for it..

Jefferson Davis had rendered to the

Roosevelt referred to the confederate
chieftain as not only the favorite son
of the Mississippi. but OF the entire

which followed his words compelled

A MARRIAGE FICTION.
The Old Time Notion That Matches
Are Made In Heaven.

Inc Old limo Notion That Matches
Are Made In Heaven.
The polite fiction obtains that mar
riages are made in heaven. This ro-
mantle viewpoint is particularly popu-
lar in America, where it is held to be
highly improper for parents to make
any move toward securing good hus-
bands for their daughters and immod
est for girls to manifest any interest
in the subject them selves.
The conventional theory is that the
matter is on the knees of the gods and
that in due season husbands will be
provided like mamma in the wilderness
for sustenance OF the faithful. Unfor-
tunately this miracle does not always
come off for every woman. The supply
OF mamma gives out There are not
enough husbands to go around. and
these are uneyenly divided. Some wo-
men get three or four, while others get
none. But neither the old maids nor
their parents realize that the reason
that they did not share in the dispen-
sation was their own fault, because
they did not put themselves. as Old
fashioned Methodists used to say, in
an attitude to receive the blessing
