Marriage conditions among the poor have
formed the theme of much of my personal
search and of many of the reports made to me.
1t is one of the great-one OF the very great and
very grave-quesIons of the day.
Marriage among the rich may mean any
OF many things 1t may mean social fnan-
cial advancement; 1t may be mere matter of
convenience: It may be the outcome of ideness
and propnquity.
But marriage among the poor is the most
cosent means of reform BY making marriage
universally possible among those who not
blessed with an abundance of this worlds goods
the most deadly blow imaginable would be dealt
to vice. The greatest step would by such means
be taken toward vices utter elimination.
Marriage is an honorable estate" and mot to
be entered into lightly" But, too often, under
present conditions, the poor man cannot afford
to enter into 1t at ALL Yet he perhaps far oftener
than his Weather brother recognizes the hon

is far less frequent than among the rich The
poor and his wife hold the marriage relation
sacred than do those OF greater worldly
wealth
II is therefore doubly unfortunate that a class
worthy of the blessings of matrimony should
be SO frequently debarred from those blessings:
that the people who maintain the sanctity of the
marriage tie and who. moreover, bring up larger

The Baby Wisest.

1t is funny when you're very big what
lots of things you find
Aren't the same as what you heard
when you were small;
just for instance, how they always told
that it wasn't kind
When we tried to squash the flies
against the wall.
Now the papers say the Grown-ups want
to start dreadful war
On those very flies we knew we ought
to kill;
And if only we had done it years and
years and years before,
There would never have been anybody
i'll!
All the whooping cough and measles,
humps and scarlet fever, too,
And the chicken pox, they learn with
great surprise,
Would have never found their way to
little children as they do
If they'd only let the Baby Kill the
flies.
But whenever dumpy fingers wandered
up or down the pane,
just where lovely fly was on the
crawl,
Someone cried out: Baby Baby!
You are doing it again."
But the baby was the wisest, after
ALL
Punch.
