VERY LIKE BUSINESS MATTER
Little Romance in Many of the Mar riages Contracted by Ger
 man Couples.

From the beginning the little Ger man girl is trained to matrimony Eat your fish fresh and marry your daugh- ter while she is young" runs the Ger man proverb The girl coming from race of practical-minded. deft-handed people with counter-baiance of ideal ism, has her dreams of a fairy prince. They dwindle and fade in the face of realities till at last she is glad to marry sober business man from 10 to 30 years her senior This dis crepancy in years is due to the cir constance that man in Germany. ac- cording to government regulations, must spent so many years in prepara- tion for his profession that by the time he is able to support wife he is at the age when an American man has already made the initial success of his career. But men and women are anxious enough to marry.
 When other hope fails some of them advertise. for many German newspapers have a kind of marriage market in their columns. Such ad vertisements read:
 q am still young. strong, and with a fortune of 12,000 marks. How shall l go about getting husband? Kind advice sought by - and so on.'

 Nearly 25 per cent of all di- vorces take place before the par ties have been married a twelve month, while 58 per cent have been married two years. But the crucial time is when couples have been married four years. for there are more chances of separation then than at any other period. From that point onward these chances fiuctuate, until at ten years. After ten years they di- minish annually, until point of comparative safety is reached, al though there are instances of di- vorce after forty and even fifty years of married life Standard Magazine.

A THING TO TtiAan GOD FOR.

There is hardly in the range of English literature a finer thought than this paragraph from Charles Kingsley:
 Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do that day which must be done, whether you like it or not. Being forced to work and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance an d self-control, diligence and strength of will. eheerfulness and co cntent. and a hundred virtues which the idle never know.

NOT THE TIME FOR THAT
scotsmen Objected to Mixture of Good
Whisky and Religious Con-
Versatlon.

Owen Seaman, editor of Punch, was
the principal guest at dinner of the
London Authors club recently, which
was followed by a discussion on
"Humor." Mr.. Seaman began with a
story deprecating the spelling of a
good dinner by any discussion at all.
There were three characters in the
story-a bluebottle and two Scots
men. The story at once struck note
of probability by showing the Scots
men drinking whisky. The bluebottle
buzzed on the pane; otherwise ST.
lence reigned.
This was broken by one of the
Scotsmen trying to locate the blue
bottle with geological exactitude. Said
the Scotsman:
Sandy, I'm thinking if yon fly is a
birdie or beastie."
The other replied: Man, don't spoil
good whisky with religious conversa-
ton"

Federal Grand Jury Indiots Packers

Chicago, Ill.-The federal grand
jury, which has been investigating
Chicago packers, late today returned
indictments against ten high officials
of the Swift, Armour and Morris con,
Germs. There are three indictments
against each, charging combination,
conspiracy and illegal monopoly.
The men indicted are L. F. Swift,
president of Swift G Co.; Edward
Swift, vice president of Swift & Co.;

Co.; Francis A. Fowler, director of
Swift & Co.. Edward Tilden, presi-
dent Of the National Packing Co.; ].

Co.; Arthur Meeker. general manager
Armour & Co.; Thomas ]. Connors, SUI
perintendent of Armour & Co.; Ed
ward Morris, president of Morris &
Co.; and Louis H. Heyman, manager
of Morris & Co.
The first indictment in detail
charges ell defendants with engaging
In combination in restraint of inter-
state trade in fresh meats.
The second charges conspiracy.
The third charges the defendants
with monopolizing the trade in fresh
meats by unlawful means.
That the purpose of the grand jury
inquiry was the Indictment of indi-
,viduals rather than the packing cor
porations, was shown when Judge
Kenesaw NJ. Lands, famous for the
$29,OOO,O0O Standard Oil fine, launch.
ed the investigation.

about to violate the law takes a name
other than his own" said Judge Lam
dis in his charge to the jury John
Jones undertaking to counterfeit gold
dollars, changes his name to John
Smith or the Metals Fabricating COM
pany, and under that names does the
thing forbidden by law.

a case do not indict a mere alias, but
follow the trail wherever it may lead,
until you have located identified and
pointed out the real offenders"
