THE VILLAGE DEACON.
Bert Walker in Osborne Farmer.

u You never want to Judge a mans
Espeed by the strength of his voice
Now some men will stand out on the
street and boiler their heads off, and
they can be heard all over the town
ship, but when the real race starts
they have as much speed as a turtle.
1t is just so with automobiles. You
will hear an awful screech around
the corner and think limited train
is coming, but when you look out the
window you will see little dinky
machine capable Of travelling about
fifteen miles an hour at best. Then
you will hear a low soft toot and see
a big touring car gliding silently by
at rate of forty miles an hour. Some
men make very little noise and throw
mighty little dust, but they get there
just the same. Then there is the fell
low who is a good imitation of a
threshing machine running at full
speed. He throws dust all over the
right-of-way and causes people to
b leak their necks getting out OF his
path. When night comes this bowler
bias threshed out nothing but chair
and is holding down last place in the
race, while the silent and careful per-
son has bin full Of grain and
committee is awarding him first !
money at the judges stand.
My friend, you are worrying too
turtles after you begin basking in the
of the eternal summer.
Some mighty big men have risen,
ilourished and swayed the world with
heir powers, and then wandered on
across the Styx But the world failed

INTERNATIONAL MARRIAGES.

While American girls have a perfect
right to marry men of their choice,
whether they be foreigners or Ameri.
can born, it would be profitable for
them TO carefully study the outcome
of many Of he international mar-
riages which have occurred i'm the last
generation
These marriages have in large eX-
tent been between American girls Of
large wealth and impoverished Euro
pean men of title, the inducement on
the one hand being the desire TO Sc
cure title and on HE ether the wish
tc acquire money
Some Of these marriages have turn.
Ell out well but a great majority Of
them have turned out badly
Vsst sums of money are annually
Eentf rom this country o Europe as a
result Of these international mar
riages
Probably the most conspicuous Of
such cases is the CastellaneGould af-
fair 1t is a matter of public record
that many millions Of dollars of The
Gould fortune We're squandered by the
Castellane couple, resulting finally in
their separation
1t is now announced from Paris that
the old Marquis de Castellane, the
father Of Connt Bcni de Cas- ellane is
suing the former wife of that mcom-
parable spendthrft for $4,000. being
the arrears Of the annuity which was

Castellane out of his wife's fortune.
1t will thus be seen that not only
did the American girl in this case
have 20 provide millions Of dollars
to support her titled husband, but she
had also to promise a considerable an
nuity to his parents. This shows
how much the American girl of wealth
has to sacrifice for such bauble as n
title, which, in very many cases. does
not even carry with it social distnc.
ton or position abroad
1t would be much more satisfactory
as we'll as more conducive to happi.
ness if our rich American girls would
choose husbands at home
i certainly would circulate i'm this
country many millions of good Amert
can dollars, which now so to pay the
