LITTLE PROBLEMS OF
LOVE AND MARRIAGE
What Sort of Woman Should the Ordinary
Business Man Marry?

ready women who can make some turn
to support the family. not the utterly
helpless kind who can do nothing but sit
and wiring their hands and weep,
Such a woman may seem paragon
and exceedingly scare to find, but there
are thousands of them all over this land
of ours, toiling cheerfully in the homes
all day Ions. cooking, sewing. caring for
the children, nursing when sickness
comes, and becoming the breadwinner If
the need arises. This sort Of wife is a
true helpmate and the kind the ordinary
young business man needs II the two are
to get ahead IN the world and have a
happy home while they struggle forward.
But generally a young man does not
think OF these things That so many
girls measure up to the responsibilities
and cares thus thrust upon them is to
their credit But it would be wiser not
TO leave the matter altogether to chance.
but to try to choose a wife who at least
seemed to have some Of these capabil-
ties
The fact that one loves seems 10 be
sufficient excuse with many for commit
ting all sorts Of foolish mistakes in the
matter of marriage. But it shouldn't be.
One should not act ike child in this
great issue OF life and grasp what one
wants just because he wants it. regard
less Of consequences. If his common
sense and judgment tell him he has loved
unwisely, he should resolutely turn away
from such a marriage. though it may be
hard and bitter thing to do. But his

NATURAL COLD STORAGE.
Modern Systems Based on Discovery
I'm UraI Mountains

I'm UraI Mountains.
Mans inventions follow natures lead
The cold storage of fruit is a modern de-
vice for the supplying of man with fruit
long after the fruit-ripening season is
over. but nature has done the same thing
from time immemorial. Seebohm, the
English ornithologist. surprised from Ma
ture her secret and discovered her great
cold storage system, says Harper s
Weekly
In the course Of his researches he was
led to visit the Penhora River. which
flows from the Ural Mountains into the
Arctic Ocean, near Nova Zsmbia Along
the lower part of the river he found what
seemed a most uninviting district-an un-
Inhabited. treeless swamp. stretching on
| either side of the stream, and known as
the tundra. Higher up the river was the
great Siberian forest, but here in the tun-
dra was nothing but hard frozen snow.
Yet this unattraetive spot was found to
| be the summer home Of half the bird
population Of the Old World
The investigator reached II in the be-
ginning Of April. Forest and tundra
were as bare of life as the Desert Of Sa-
hara. but a change was coming. Suddenly
summer broke over the scene, and with
It came the birds The ice in the river
split and disappeared. the banks steamed
in the sun and innumerable birds of all
sizes and colors appeared within forty
eight hours after the first warmth.
The once frozen tundra now showed
itself TO be moor. with here and there a
large bog and numerous lakes. 1t was
covered with moss, lichens. heath-like
plants. dwarf birch and millions of acres
Of cloudberries, cranberrles, and crowber-
ries. This was the storehouse of the
feathered tribes.
The perpetual sun OF the arctic summer
causes the plants TO bear in wonderful
profusion. so that fruit is abundant But
fruit-bearing does not come before bios
soming, and fruit cannot be perfected in
forty-eight hours. The little travellers
were arriving by the thousands The
fruit would not be ripe until the middle
or end of the arctic summer, and If the
birds had to walt till then they must
needs starve.
Not so, however, does nature provide
for her pensioners. Long before the snow
melted provision had been made for their
maintenance. Beneath the snow lay the
whole crop of last years fruit, perfectly
preserved.
Each year, when the berries are ripe
and before the birds can gather them, the
snow descends upon the tundra, effectu-
ally covering the crop and preserving it
in perfect condition until the spring sun
melts the snow and discloses the bushes
loaded with ripened fruit, or, in some
cases, the ground beneath the plants Gov
cred with the fallen treasure waiting for
the hungry strangers. The berries never
decay beneath the snow. but keep in per-
feet condition. and are accessible as soon
as the snow melts
Nor need the visitors depend on fruit
alone for sustenance The insect-eating
birds are also provided for, and all may
take their choice of fruit or flesh The |
same heat which frees the fruit also !
brings into being the most prolific insect |
life in the world. No European can live |
there without veil after the snow melts. |

FROM WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW.

Six couples ended dancing marathon in
hospital where they Will have time 10
think over their folly and ponder on the
limit Of human endurance 1t is doubtful
| If the experiment will ever be repeated
by any who have heard the story OF the
weary hours spent IN something that was
intended for amusement and has now be-
come menace.
Feats Of strength and endurance have
always challenged the worlds admiration
The sufferings of explorers have had some
value in new discoveries, and some sports
have risen to prominence through the hui
man admiration for pure grit But when
last summer a consumptive won a mar
athon. there was pity mixed with ad-
nliration for the useless waste of strength.
He needed to hoard 1t, for there was none
too much OF it.
Such stunts as dancing marathons are
much like the "dares" OF children who
place their fingers under rockers and rely
upon leniency to spare them pain. Those
who foOlishly overtax their bodies literally
dare nature 10 take revenge, and meet
with the fate of impudent children. In
way, We are all doing that. but few take
the entire risk-and receive dire punish
ment.
There is an old saying that credits each
back with the strength to carry its own
burden. true up 10 a certain point It has
to be read Understandings, however. for
1t is wel-known fact that the pathway
is strewn with failures-human beings
who fell under the weight of burdens
some self-imposed-and were not able TO
rise again. We are endowed with more
strength than we realize sometimes, but
the limit varies with the individual.
The well-balanced man or woman dis
covers this limit early in life, and keeps
well within il. Work or play is gauged
accordingly, and there is a reasonable
amount Of health and happiness credited
on the right side Of the balance sheet. |
There are not many in this class, for the |
great majority is striving for prizes Of |
some sort, none of them worth the price |
paid in so many directions.
We are continually feeling the prod of |
ambition and being told that to ignore it |
Is unworthy. Contentment is q sign of /
stagnation, we are informed. so we hurry |
on after we are tired and long for rest |
Il may be heresy TO say this, but 1t is my /
belief that those who do not receive ease
with open arms when it approaches have
missed one of the opportunities life offers.
There is a wide difference between ease /
and Incidence. and who shall question its /
benefits, when IL gives opportunity 10 know
the finer things Of life? Creation Is wide /
and varied, you know

 EIGHT LITTLE ONES
WYATT WARE CUTS THROAT AT REAR OF HOME AND WIFE AND THE BODY

Wyatt Ware, a carpenter, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor yesterday afternoon about 4:45 o'clock at his late residence on Forty-ninth street at Ninth avenue. He leaves a widow and eight children, who, it is said, were dependent upon him for support.
 The scene that followed the tragedy was one of the most pitiable imaginable. When the body of Ware, covered with blood and almost lifeless was brought into the house the air was rent with the lamentations of six of his little children and his wife, who fel lover him, sobpfng and weeping. Two of the children who were not at home at the time will have to be notified of their fathers death. The children are all very young, and it is said that their father was their only means of support.
 According to statement from the wife of Ware he was found in a little outhouse on the rear of the premises in dying condition from the seIf-inficted wound within less than % minutes after he had withdrawn from the company of his fam fly. horrible gash was inflicted across his. throat and 1t was found that the jugular vein and the windpipe had been severed.
 Medical assistance was summoned inn mediatoly, but 1t was found that the man was beyond help. He died about an hour and half after he had inflicted the wound. Coroner Brasher who was called to the scene, gave a verdict of sui eide, and shortly afterward his remains were removed to the Gaudin Undertaking company's parlors. where they are be- ing prepared for burial.
 No reason was assigned by the family of Ware for his act. His disposition was apparently very cheerful, and while he was out of employment just at present. 1t is said that he had the promise of work within short while.
