Divorcons Can't Marry

Cincinnati, Ohio.-The House of Bishops of the Protestant Epis- copal national convention changed the canon of the church on mar riage and divorce to prevent abso lutely the marriage of. divorced persons. The new canon repels the former proviso by which Epis- copal clergymen were permitted to officiate at the remarriage of the innocent party to divorce on one charge.
 The decisive vote on the subject is surprise Although the high church party has been agitating the change for years. it was not thought possible of executing at this convention. The order of the church is similar to that prevail ing ia the Roman Catholic church.

OBSERVATIONS OF
 A CLODHOPPER
By TEMPEST

Life is funny proposition any way. An innocent babe is ushered into this great and strange world regardless of what he might desire in the matter.
 He grows into a sturdy youth by the stimulus of food and care emphasized by the frequent use of the paternal slipper. He waxes in wisdom from cudgeled persuasion and boyish tactics combined with a mixture of school books and teachers philosophy. At length he blossoms into manhood. honest, sober, industrious and able.
 He mingles with the masses, places too much trust in fellow man and gets done a time or two. He is ridiculed Folks think he's easy and they call him a fool He finds no one has confidence in him. At length in the madness of despair he leaves for change of scene He becomes dishonest. He sue ceeds in doing a few. makes a stake and returns to the environs of his early years. He has money to burn, and he is greeted with much cordiality by his old associ- ates, but in most cases he ignores them. His former sweetheart comes to caress him, but he pushes her from him, she was content to ridi- cule him in bis diversity and now he ignores her.
 He sees a chance He does Ketchens and Skinem out of a hundred thousand and before they're wise gives them a glad hand.
 He captures millionaires daughter for a wife, buys the state of Alabama for a home. gets a million dollar aereospeeder for a runabout mongst the mist, then all of sudden the papers say he's dead. We'll, that's the last thing he could do. Such is life.

Pointed Paragraphs

The good promoter is true to his trust.
 Coal dealers are preparing to make it hot for up. A wise man never bets on a sure thing or a woman's age. Hope is valuable asset-until you try to raise money on it.
 Instead of telling what you are going to do tell what you did. A man fears a woman's tears as much as he fears her tongue.
 The more unselfsh you are the more selfish you may make others.
 Thea man who takes to his heels is coward. but it is different with a mule.
 An extra easy way to be wrong is to be dead sure you are right.
 Don't be surprised if somebody fools you while you are trying to fool somebody
 Love really is blind, and this ac- counts for the neckties some women buy for their husbands
 It's up to man to choose be- tween two evils when he is asked to beat the carpet or take care of the baby vile his wife does it.
 How silly the things a man wanted at the age of 20 look at him at 50.
 It is safe not to expect anything of you don't want to be disap- pointed.
 A very loud voice in an argu- ment will always convince it's owner when it won't anybody else.
