THE MARRIAGE OF KIDS

The following article from Mime
sofa paper contains more truth than
poetry:
This article is written especially
for the kids of various towns who
make a habit of chasing out after
every little girl in town and country
whose peticoats reach below their
knees, with the purpose of inflicting
matrimony upon some poor victim =
A raw boy without dollar present o
prospective, sparkling regular and talk
ing about marrying is a spectacle for
gods and men He should be reasoned
with and if he will not quit it until
he is able to support a wife and to
know why he loves and the differ
ence between olive and chickenpox, he
should be Quarantined or put in con
vent erected for such cusses Nine
tenths of the unhappy marriages are
the result of green human calves
being allowed TO run loose in the
society pasture without any yokes on
them. They marry and have children
before they have mOustaches, they
are fathers Of twins before they are
proprietors Of two pairs of pants, and
the little girlstheymarry are old wo-
men before they are twenty.

Wis. Grand Rapids City Population
Thirteenth Census 6,521.
Dona Durand, Director.
Immagine our surprise and disap-

competent help and see if there has
not been some great mistake made
This is a few more people than we
had 5 years ago when the two cities
of Centralia and Grand Rapids were
a little over 5000. We know there
must be something wrong for everyone
who has resided here the past ten
years knows better. This. should be
investigated and corrected. We don't
believe any such report Away with
such census.
