For Happiness In MARRIAGE,

l have spoken of the only true and
right motive for marriage, and ven.
ture my opinion that marriage should
not be too eagerly sought by either
sex, but rather waited for until the
certainty has come that one loves
worthily and we'll. l mean, that for
man to say to himself, in cold blood
that 1t is time he should marry, and,
for that reason, to look about for a
wife--instead of being aware that he
loves and therefore desires to marry
the one beloved woman-is, to my
thinking, as unwise and in almost as
poor taste AS for girl to discover that
1t Is time she were settled in life and.
In consequence, set about trying to
attract q husband. In neither case is
happiness In marriage likely to be the
result Of such quest-Louise Chand.

There was full calender that term,
and the close of the first week found

for the big rustling case. There were
other rustling cases on the criminal

where the suspected leader of gang
was on trial. The interested and the
curious did not mean to miss any part
of it. They began coming in early in
the week. They kept coming the re-
mainder OF that week and Sunday as

layed range riders came scurrying in
leaving the cattle mostly to shift for
themselves. The Velpen aggregation,
