Marriage, the Most Important
Business in World, Should
Be Studied as a Science
Love- Once Dead Not Restored by the Gun the Sword
the Poisonous Draft-Why Should Men and Women
Neglect the Business of Marriage by Not Being
Willing to Work and Wait for Results?

Perhaps no one ever wrote more pow
erfully and beautifully on this subject
than Dorothy Dix, in a description given
in a little story of wife weeping over
the casket Of a husband, who had
brought her life nothing but sorrow.
The wlfes mother asked her why she
shed tears at the loss of this faithless
and cruel man.
She answered that she was weeping
for her early dream, for her lost ideal,
for her happy trust, for her faith, which
had died a slow death, for her wrecked
happiness and not for the man who had
died.
II would seem since marriage is so seri"
Gus a step, and the breaking of marriage
bonds so serious a move, that educated
and sensible men and women might 90
about the repairing of the first fractured
link with as much care and skill and
anxiety as they use in mending a pune
tured tire of a motor car, or the supply
ing new, batteries to an electric light
plant.
The latest wife to seek happiness with
an affinity seems TO have no complaint
to make OF her husband other that that
they did not care for the same kind OF
amusement.
SO she sought the society of a youth.
her junior by two or three years, whose
tastes were similar
And she forgot her husband, her chill
dren and her vow to take the man she
married for better and for worse, and
has gone forth to find entertainment
with her lover.
When this husband and wife first dis
covered their tastes diverging, why did
not each yield a point and cultivate the
others ideals of diversion and amuse-
ment?
II the wife had taken up outdoor
sports sufficiently to give her husband
the feeling that she enjoyed his society
IL the husband had shown his wife
enough regard to accompany her at times
to the festivities dear to her feminine
heart the tragedy might. have been
averted
When men and women set forth on any
business enterprise that necessitates sacri-
flee of time, strength and money to bring
IL 70 a successful issue they do not
throw it aside at the first obstacle
Why should they neglect the business
OF marriage by not being willing to work
and wait for good results when they
meet hinderances in the path to hap
piness?
Marriage is the most important bust
ness of the world.
II should be studied as science in
stead Of being treated like an episode.

How Will It Be?
by ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

How will It be when OF us alone
Goes that strange, last journey OF the soul,
That voyage which no comradeship Is known?
WIN our dear sea sing in the old sweet tone.
Though sits stricken where its pillows roll?
viii space be dumb from the mystic pole
Will whisperings OF love be backward blown?
When our united lives wrenched apart,
And day more means sweet companionship;
When fervent night and lovely languorous dawn
Are only memories TO one sad heart,
And but in dreams fond kisses burn the lip,
Dear God, how can this same fair world move on?

Dallas, 5. D.-Special: Surprising as

settlement on reservation lands have
many misgiyings on the Indian ques-

the impulse to bring the tomaha"k

concerned with the latest styles in

While the Sioux Indians in Mellette
county. South Dakota. have not made
q sensational showing in the external
sigrs of development and progress. the
change in temperament is al that the

Mistakes of Scientists.

Sir Humphrey Davy's dogmatic pro-

the only instance of a clever scientist
being hopelessly wrong. The early his
tory of submarine cabling furnishes
the scientific side of the project, Fara-
day asserted that the first cables were
made too small. Then he said that
the larger the wire. the more cleo
tricity would be required to charge it,
and in this quite incorrect opinion he
was supported by other eminent scien-
fists. AS a result of this dictum the
current was increased until the opera
ton '~electrocuted' the wire. and the
cable broke down. 1t was Lord KEEL
