MARRIAGE.

Is marriage lottery? Is matri-
mony a game of chance? Many peo-
Pile have been waiting for the talent
in the census department to give out
a line of real dope, and behold. II
has come just in the twilight of leap
year.
Matrimony is a one to twelve shot.
n the odds are posted according to
the touts at Washington. You have
twelve chances to one in your favor.
Whether you are a sport or a nervous
lover. there is nothing in the propo-
sition to make you tremble. Many
q red-noSed bachelor will lay his
bank roll on the high card with
forty-seven chances against him, and
the cards face downward. Here he
has twelve chances to one in his
favor and he can see the faces anO
pick his choice.
Yet, If II Is a game of chance, II
more like cards than horse racing.
despite the suggestion OF odds. Fol
Instance, IL a man should try to pick
a wife the way he picks a horse in
the derby, he would lose every time
When a man goes to the races, he
wants to know something OF the
pedigree and disposition of the favor
ite, her past performance on tn,
track, and how much she is worth
Suppose he should try to pick a wife
that way; inquire about her mother,
her own disposition, and how much
she is worth, and then refuse 10 wed
her because she had never been mar
ried before and he wasn't taking ana
chances on green races.
A man can't be too wide-eyed at a
)rc.rse race, or. too blind in love.

THE JAPANESE TREATY.

Secretary Of State Elihu Root viii

crowned his achievements with tbs
japanese agreement. II will plac'
him well in the front rank OF Ameri
can statesmen. The treaty also clear:
up the last great task of the Roose'
welt administration. and the presiden
viii turn over the executive depart
ment to his successor with no un
finished business. excepting such pol
cies as are continuous in their nature
Secretary of State Root has two
great triumphs 20 his credit as score
tary of state. The other is the good
feeling he brought about between the
United States and the South Ameri-
can countries. Related to this is the
understanding arranged between the
states of Central America. He has
laid the foundation for the upbuild-
ing Of our trade with the orient and
the South American states, which
should be fostered in anticipation OF
the Panama canals completion.
President-elect William II. Taft
probably had a great deal to do with
this treaty. We had surmised at the
time OF his globe trotting tour. thai
he had some such errand as this to
perform. He saw most of the parties
in interest in the Pacific. Then came
the tour OF the feet. All this hap
pened after the unfortunate affair on
the Pacific coast, which almost pre-
cipitated war between the United
States and Japan. No more difficult
understanding to arrange could have
been imagined, but both parties ex-
hibited eonsummate skill in taking
advantage of the circumstances, and
the very hostility of the jingoes
served their purpose in masking the
intention of the two governments.
Europe has been predicting war for
a year; but our own people and the
Japs after the first flush Of the war
fever. felt the reaction and are in a
condition to welcome terms of lasting
peace.
However, now that an understand
ing is reached, 1t will not do to K,
our ships rot. This is the time to
build a navy commensurate with the
task it must perform. OF course,
when the Panama canal Is ready for
use. our ships can swing from coast
to coast with greater ease, and safety
and celebrity: but We must maintain
a large fighting navy.
What a record this administration.
has made: unified the Americas in
sentiment; reorganized and rejuye
mated the army; tested the navy

will see reforms Instituted that VIII

it was then that he learned Of the havoc
that had been wrought by the disease.
One Of the boys died just when his
father had begun to appreciate his help
about the farm. The other two boys
were younger. The surviving men,
bers Of the little family are girls, vary
ing in age. and It was narrow escape

Michael FienO, Convicted of
Murder, Wants Freedom

l.. Irving Handy appealed 10 the Board
OF PardOns, at Dover. yesterday, Tor the
release from the county workhouse OF
Michael Ficno, an Italian. serving prac-
tically a life sentence for the murder
here fifteen years ago OF Carlo Ruvo.
Fleno, now an aged man, Is threatened
with tuberculosis, and IL Is on this
ground that n pardon IS being sought In
his behalf. The board viii hold spe-
cial meeting on December IS To consider
the application. Meanwhile relatives OF
Fieno, particularly brother In Phila-
delphia, are living in hopes that fieno
viii eat Christmas dinner with them at
ter his long imprisonment.
An unusual feature OF the case is that
Chancellor Nicholson. who, while attor.
ney-general Of the State prosecuted
Fieno. Is now a member OF tho board,
that can recommend his discharge from
custody. ficno's conviction was most
dramatic. Throughout the trial, which
showed deliberate murder. fleno, ~
broken English, pleaded for mercy, ana
while he was being sentenced 90 death
continued 20 plead. ceasing only when
he fell unconscious after hearing Of his
fate through Carmine III Mare. who
acted as Interpreter in tho case. fieno' 3
friends at once set out 10 have the death
sentence stayed aud succeeded for a
time az least former Governor Reynolds
having postponed Flenos day OF death
until 1850 Since his imprisonment fteno
has been a model prisoner.
