The great manufacturing nations,

proximate accuracy that the other five.
sixths are to very great degree

Enquirer. Fully one-half of the worlds
population are as yet only fractionaIly
supplied with articles necessary for
civilized existence. The 100000 OF
people to the south of us on the Amer.
Jean continent when fully employed,
as some day they will be, in produc-
ing from their lands. their forests and
their mines, will make our manufac-
turers wealthy through their demands
Tor what our own Industrial districts

way up every great and small river OF
South America, II is crossing the
Andes over a thousand trails, and

There Is remedy for this. and
one that should be put in force. In
the first place no marriage should be
made between young people unless
their ages are attested by some rela-
tive or a guardian. This may seem a
little matter but 1t Is an important
one. as any one who sits in this court
Will realize. There is a great differ
ence in the girl of Is and of Is or 20.

marriages go on. Many marriages are
taking place between children of Is

The parents or guardians should
be made to swear to the ages, and
understanding what an oath means,
should be duly impressed with the
consequences II they commit perjury.
In many such cases the marriage
would not be made IL its comtempla-
ton were made public. Those inter
ested in the good of the young people
would prevent It But the secrecy
that Is possible now makes rash and
hasty marriages of mere children
easy. 1t would be an excellent thing
II law was passed making It neces-
sary for the contemplated marriage to
be published a month In advance of
the time of the wedding.
Such law would guard the chill
dren in two ways. It would make
possible the interference of the par
ent or guardian If the marriage was
ill-advised and It would also give the
foolish children a month in which to
think over the situation"

'ExklH:
THE SCHOOLMA'AM GIRL
By MICHAEL ]. PORTER


Gideon Rush noticed the girl before
they reached Chicago. though he was
a shy. hard-working young man who
had really noticed few women In his
day.
But even Gideon could be pardoned
for looking again at the 'schoolma'am
girl" as he quantity nicknamed her.
None but a school teacher would
have that air and that pencil. And
she was SO young and so good to
look at that Gideon was reminded Of
little girls who played at various
games. like keeping house. and going
visiting. and teaching school She
was a school teacher: and yet the
title wasn't distinctive enough. 1t
did not classify her She was all girl.
too-young and sweet and happy. So
"school-ma' am girl" 1t was.
Gideon. who was going out to Ore
gon to grow apples. saw that the
schooi-ma'a am girl had ticket much
like his own-a green one as long as
his arm.
Was she going west, too. maybe to
Oregon? But no: that was impossi-

other hundred trains that shuttled
away in every direction
It was dark when they rumbied
into the bedlam called Chicago She
seemed so little and alone and grave
some of her bright cheerfulness
had departed-that Gideon said q re-
gretful farewell with his eyes. And
she answered the same way.
Gideon hurried into the sticky mid
summer night. because everyone else
was hurrying: found a modest res
taurant in the glare and clatter: hur-
ried through meal and trotted back
to the great station as the uniformed
man at the gate was bawling bis

He found his tourist sleeper. Half

men took him to the surgeon when
the sick call blew. Now he goes at

The Dubuque Is the first regularly
manned vessel of war to pass on
through the Canadian docks since the
