MARRYING TO EXCESS

From Baltimore comes once more a message from the venerable, the genial, the irrepressibe | Mark Twain This time his words of wisdom
 for the conduct of life were addressed to the fair pupils of St. Timothy's School for Young ] Women. In terse but poignant paragraph he warns girls against the evils that he seems to think might readily beset the sex. The guides to living as set forth by the humorist follow
 "There are three things, young ladies, l ad- wise you not to do. Don't smoke-that is don t
 smoke to excess. I am seventy three and half wears old, and l have smoked for seventy three years of that time. Don drink-that is, don t drink to excess. Don't marry--I mean to ex- cess"
 Now we question the necessity of the patri- archal humorist warning the fair American girl against excessive smoking and drinking. So far as our meager and provincial experience has informed us, the adorable ladies are not in any immediate danger of becoming devotees to either my lady Nicotine or the pleasures said to be hidden in the flowing bowl But the sage wisdom conveyed in the advice against ex- cessive marrying is so pertinent and apropos of modern life that it sets one to wondering whether the reverend Mark was wholly playing the humorst when he uttered it.
 10 SnllC Lno scene lTOI1 MdTyldHQ ClIy to our own municipality we are made. to sit up and evince mild sort of interest in the fact that no less than thirty-two suits for di- vorce are now on the docket for the present term of the district court Considering the re- stricted territory over which this court has jurisdiction, the total number of sixty-four marital malcontents involved in these applica- tions for surcease of coniugal infelicity is very what shall we call it?-deplorable7 We had almost said, encouraging, so easy is it for a person to be moulded by the public's point of view. Let us rejoice, therefore, that our judg- ment is not yet warped to the extent of calling this domestic inconsistency encouraging, or even commendabe. But the prevalence of this tendency toward excessive marrying causes us to ponder nevertheless just what percentage of the adult population of our country will have escaped the divorce pestilence and the aimony germ ten years hence. If, as some of our larger cities has had his or her domestic tragedies aired before court, and if the popularity of this unique modern custom of tearing hearts asunder does not wane in the next decade, Ol Tempora! o Mores what promiscuous insti tuition this marrying habit of our forefathers will bel
 So in view of past experience and future prospects. it does seem that our famous Mark Twain, either advisedly or by accident, was not entirely in humorous vein when he said q Don t marry to excess.''

WAR ON CUT

Some Agreement With Manufacturers

A slight war was begun this week
between the regular druggists and tn'
cut rate detail duggists of the city.
Those who have been accustomed to
sell patents at the regular stipulated
price are urging combination
against those who have been selling
at a slightly lower figure in order to
attract trade. The trouble came
about early this week when the drug

accept certain advertising matter sent

In dealing with the story con-
cerning the case in police court OF
George Temple against Mary Griffith
the Mirror was misinformed and it
mas since been disclosed that the
plaintiff George Temple was in no
way to blame for mis- unfortunate eX-
perience on Monday afternoon.
Temple says he was not beat
over the head and states that Mrs.
Griffith struck him with small
stick of wood. He declares tnat
George II 'fstetter told him that ne
could have the coal and that he was
not paid to go and get 1t. Uncon-
scious OF the previous trouble be-
tween Hofstetter and Mrs. Griffith,
Temple called at the latters home
and proc eeded to load the coal. He
says that Mrs Griffith was still
angry from her trouble with Holster

due to tn, irritation.
Temple is local contractor and a
man OF good reputation. The Mirror
takes pleasure in rectifying it's mis-
take.
