Marriage Lenqthens Life.

II you desire to live to a good old
age you will do we'll to read what an
eminent doctor says on the subject.
He makes, first of all, the bold state
ment that anyone who desires to live
for four score and ten years should
get married. In other words, he
claims that conjugal life is a necessary
condition Of longevity. Here are the
statistics which support this state
ment: OF 200 persons who have
reached the age of 40 years the doctor
found that 1875 were married and rs
unmarried. OF 70 men who had
reached the age Of so years he found
that 4S were married and % unmar-
ried. He next took 3S men, each Of
whom was in his SEVENTEEN year, and
he found that II were married and II
unmarried.
Again the doctor has discovered that
the mortality among bachelors be-
tween the ages Of 30 and 45 Is as
high as 27 per cent, whereas among
those who are married 1t does not ex-
coed Is per cent. 1t. is evident that
we must acknowledge the potency Of
these figures, and that, If we desire
to live to a good old age, we should
get married as soon as possible.

oLUFF WORKED
StiREWD TRICK BY WHICH MER
CHANT GOT A START.
His Offer of Gift Of $4,000 Organ to
Church Established His Credit
As a Good Man to
Tie To.

There is a prosperous merchant ir
Chicago to-day who owes his success
to his donation Of $4,000 organ to a
church at time when he didn't have
money enough to buy hand organ.
This donation was case of bluff, pure
and simple, but the bluff worked and
resulted in the subsequent wealth Of
the lucky buffer.
John Smith was seeking capital to
start in business for himself, but as he
had no security worth speaking Of he
could not borrow the money he
needed.
When he had tried every person he
could think Of who would be likely to
have the necessary cash and the In.
clination to lend 1t and had been
turned down, he conceived the idea Of
presenting his church with an organ.
Young Napoleon John Smith there
fore ordered his organ and allowed the
future to look out for itself. The
manufacturers Of the organ never
thought Of questioning the financial
standing of the philanthropist who
YVES handing out $4,000 organs, and
agreed to have the instrument set up
In the church on time.
OF course ]. Smith was not a bud
that was born to blush unseen, nor did
he hide his beneficence under a bush.
ell. He managed to bring in at least
the flute stops no matter what the sub
ject Of conversation. Not only did the
young Napoleon advertise himself by
means Of the church organ, but the
pleased minister and the equally
pleased congregation spread the news
of his gift.
During this time John did not allow
any alfalfa to grow under his feet. On
the pretense of consulting some
wealthy member Of the congregation
about some minor detail Of the organ
he would drop into an office, and be-
fore he left casually would mention
the subject of the company he was
forming. Most Of the men that he thus
saw thought 1t would be a good thing
to be associated with man who was
making so much money that he was
able to hand out $4,000 without miss
ing it, so that all were anxious to take
stock in J. Smiths company.
Long before the time came for the
first payment on the organ Smith had
gathered enough money to start his
business and was doing so well he had
no difficulty in borrowing the amount
needed to make the payment. From
that time he has made money so fast
that now he could give away several
$4,000 organs and pay for them as
we'll.
