caused the young man to end Lis life
is not known as his home affairs were
as happy as they could possible have
been, and he was successful in
business. He had complained Of i'll

is believed to have prompted the
thoughts of eelf-destruction.

Is strict propriety to divest court

To the Young Person who regulates

they form an excellent code where

The minimum age limit for marrt-

arbitrary. A man is better married
