Some occult power drove away the reyerie that gripped him. He awoke with a start and discovered that he was five stations beyond his destina- tion. He also discovered a pair of most interesting brown eyes staring at him and a quizzical smile dimpling the features of an exceedingly pretty young woman.
 He quickly crossed the car and seat ed himself by her side.

A Marriage Fiction.

The polite fiction obtains that mar. riages are made In heaven. This TO- mantle viewpoint Is particularly popu lar in America, where 1t 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 themselves.
 The conventional theory Is that the matter is on the knees of the gods and that in due season husbands will be provided like mama In the wilderness for sustenance Of the faithful. Unfor- tunately this miracle does not always come off for every woman. The supply of mama gives out. There are not enough husbands to go around, and these are unevenly divided. Some wom- en 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.-Dor- othy Dix, in Ainslee's

 He left the train at the next station.
 The next evening they sat in a coZy parlor in an uptown apartment house. A pause followed half hours conver- sation on commonplace matters.
 And now," she said, suggestively "now will we have the recital of your wanderings in the subway train?"
 He laughed lightly.
 "I was just thinking of that" he said. q was wondering how to start my story. I guess I had better begin where I boarded the train. Will you stop me when I begin to bore?"
 You won't be tiresome-you never were"
 He smiled at the naive compliment.

There was a jam of people, but I managed to find a seat by the window. l remember mentally commenting on the terrible roar in the subway and its probable effect upon the hearing organs of New Workers. don't know how far had gone before there was silence that seemed to reach out and out, over great distance of land. And when I was out of the sub way fields and hills stretched before me and the longer I saw them the more familiar they became. long, dusty road climbed a knobby hill, and, some how, was driving over this road, as real and lifelike as I am sitting here.
 My mind was transformed. Busi- ness cares were brushed away as dust Is brushed from picture frame or mantelpiece. The tinkle of cowbells In the distance lost their metallic clank and sounded sweet and musical-the vespers of the farm land.
 As I drove up the hill I knew that in the hollow on the other side Id find a great, rambling white house. On the summit I drew rein, searched with my eyes the long veranda and saw a girl in a white dress. She waved at me- was to drive her to a dance about six miles across country. Doesn't this strike you as being most unreasonably rambling?"
 The young woman, who was listening intently, started. dropped a fan with which she had been toying, recovered herself and smiled

France, in spite of the reputation given to 1t by Parisian novelists, Is an exceptionally moral country, and one Of the most sacred of It's institutions is marriage. Divorce has never been much sought for there, and separated mar ried couples are infrequent. Fog this reason the action of the French 6ham- Der of Deputies and Senate In passing a law automatically to convert a decree of separation Into a divorce at the end of three years, when either party re quests 1t, Is significant of the trend of modern civilized opinion. Divorce has never been obtainable in France except during the revolution and the reign ot Napoleon until within the last. twenty years. But now the nation deliberately makes divorce so easy that no married person dissatisfied with his or her con- dition need continue in it.

PREDICT WAR WITH AMERICA.
Venezuelan Officials See Only One
 Outcome of Asphalt Row.


 War with the United States over fifty miles of swamp land is predicted by leading Venezuelan officials. The strip was under control of the asphalt trust until the beginning of the long series of difficulties that now may end in a contest with America.
 l All tho .,-r,oi1, blendshod, revolution and international controversies have their origin in this speck of territory Upon It's proper development depends the wealth of the nation; for 1t Is the natural outlet for all the resources of a country 50 rich In the earth's treasures that the dreams of a Pizarro might be realized. It was granted to the as- phalt trust with the agreement that 1t would be developed. Canals were to be dug so that the boats could sail up the river to the gold mines, the silver mines, the oil wells and the rich coffee plantations. Railroads were to have been built. One of the Venezuelan gov ernment's principal complaints against the American asphalt trust Is that It never fulfilled any of these promises. All the trust did was to~push It's own boats Into the pitch lakes. load them and take away the valuable natural product.
 | The district has remained impover- ished because undeveloped. Its 3OUU,- coo people were poor because they could not get their wealth sold. The rall- roads and the canals promised never materialized Into anything better than mule caravans and canoes. The GUS 1 toms which composed the chief income to the national treasury fell of. for the asphalt was free of duty.
 Then the temper of this mixed race of Spanish, negroes, and natives reach cd the boiling point. They hated these 4,0O0 white men and their trust greed. They made life dangerous for the for eigners. Suits were filed In the shaky courts of the country to try to get back the asphalt wealth given away. Castro found he was fighting the most expert trust lawyers, men who knew other tricks besides those of the courts Revo- lutionary leaders took advantage of the turmoil to start internal troubles. Ev- erybody in Venezuela believes that the Matas rebellion was financed by the trust-and all Venezuelans Insist that 1t was Castro's duty to the people to dispossess the trust.
 Meanwhile this land of wonderful wealth lies like a shining diamond In a hill of sand. Its Brazil wood coral trees, indigo rubber. bananas remain In the forest. It's gold and silver and copper and marble and granite are still In the earth, valueless to Venezuela and the commercial world.

Is simple, If not conclusive. The rule In the animal kingdom, he says, Is that the lifetime of an animal Is six times the period of It's maturity. By way of illustration, the dog, he says, reaches Its maturity In one and half years, and Its lifetime Is nine years. Then he argues that as a man reaches his maturity In twenty years his natural lifetime Is 120 years. And certainly, if the bishops premises are right, his reasoning seems to be conclusive. though It constitutes the greatest indictment habits of the human race. The rule of nature, however, on which 1t rests admits of an important elaboration. The age of maturity Is different, not only in different species but In different individuals of the same species, and Its relation to longevity Is as obvious In individuals as In species. It would be interesting to know-though probably IL can never be exactly known-how wide ly the age of maturity In human beings
 
 pear in all cases to mature at the same age. but judging by the growth of the body, which Is visible, It Is obvious that there must be a difference of several years in the lge of maturity. Some would say that the mind natures ten years sooner in some human beings than In others. This principle Is use full not only In forming an estimate of the probable duration of life, but in determining what ought to be expected of people at a given age. It will hardly be questioned that precocious people, like Lord Macaulay, John Fiske and President W. R. Harper, rarely live to a great age. And perhaps they might live longer if they realized that, hay ing matured quickly, they have not nat urally the same lease of life as those who mature more slowly. The greatest use of the principle. however, Is In judg- ing of the capacity and intellectual needs of immature minds. There are cases in which young person Is un- necessarily discouraged In regard to his intellectual powers and progress be cause age deceives him, and he does not reflect that he has not yet reached maturity. Still more frequently does It happen that In the work of teaching the young the age Is consulted more than the development.

The old Masters,

"1 make more money In day than Michael Angelo made In a month," said a popular illustrator. i've been study Ing up the wages those old chaps got. It is amazing.
 Michael Angelo was paid $40 b month while doing the cartoons of the battle of Pisa. and Leonardo, who help ed him, got the same rate. They were both docked for lateness and off days, but there was no overtime allowance. Corregglo got for his Christ in the Gar den S7.25. Carracci's Resurrection only brought the painter $6.50. Albert Durer for his pen and ink portraits was not paid in cash. A bag of flour. q hundred oysters, Il pair of boots-Durer would gladly do your portrait on such system of remuneration.

that he had short spaces of rest. l had been wandering around, and at last found myself close to the main en- trance. Soon I saw a common soldier come up to the hall. He was an ex- ceedingly rough looking specimen. His clothes were worn and soiled, his boots outside hls trousers. dirty beyond de gree. You could hardly conceive a more unfit person to enter that great crowd. He evidently had a great desire to see the President, but knew his unftness to enter. But It was not long before he mustered courage to push his way un- der the cover of others well Into the hall.
 Noting the anxious yearning look on hls face, became interested to watch hls movements and note the result. It was not very long before observed that Mir. Lincoln had an eye on him, as be chanced to come near the door of the reception room. Once and again I saw hls eye search out this solled and bespattered soldier with the most ten. der look. Then came a more vacant space between the two. At length Mir. Lincoln, with an enormous stride and long outreachlng arm, advanced. grasped this soldier by the hand. with q greeting that must have been seen and heard to be fully understood: Come forward, my friend; we are all equal here"
 With this hand grasp and welcome Mir. Lincoln's attention was turned else where but l can remember no other in cident that thrilled me as dld that lit tie scene. And the effect of 1t upon that Goldier-it seemed to transform him In moment. What a new manli- ness It put into his face and attitude In a few moments he was gone, but It was plain that from that hour Mir. Lin. coin had at least one man in his army who was ready to give hls life to help Mr. Lincoln save the cause for which both of them were toiling and sacri- ticing. And 1t seemed at the moment that l could easily do the same.

SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE.

To-day we have journeyed far, My heart and 1: Came home at dusk meath a star Hung keen and high. The morn was a blade of steel Scabbard of white Bonnie and brave to feel
 In furnished light. As we footed the open road
 We sang the sun: Love was the debt we owed
 The day begun. The hills were abrupt and blue Castles of kings, To be won and wandered through For precious things. Noon and the long afternoon Gladness and hope And a shadow that walked too soon The westward slope. So is the wild world won
 By them who roam; But best of the day that is done The door of home. Emery Pottle, in Success Magazine.

So "Bim the Button Man" Is dead. He made fortune by holding the eel luloid disk up to nature and giving hls countrymen the counterfeited present ment of their presidential nominees. What lifted him from the commercial commonplace was his power to prophe- sy who the nominee would be and to embody that prophecy in countless but tons before the convention had even met. We are sorry that Bim has gone. But this Is an unusually easy year for anyone who wants to succeed him i'll the presidential prophecy industry.
