Romance OF Married Life.

Really, the romance OF life begins
only after marriage. 1t Ia then that
character is developed. that personal
ity is matured, that capabilities are
tested. Before marriage (until the
individual becomes a confirmed old
maid or bachelor), life is more or less
in the nature of stage picture, with
comedy and athletics predominating
The most in it is fun and frolic, music
and dancing, running and singing,
plucking flowers and scattering them.
That is excellently good while 1t lasts

the realities that make men and WON.

Already the iron trade is feeling the
effects of recent stimulants, and
large orders have been placed for

The recent successful placing of rail

the railroads to push long-contem-
