SOME PERLs OF MATRrMoNY.

Some insight into the perils of matrmony is
given in a decision recently rendered by a Boston
Judge to the effect that 'beaux and bellies when
marrying must run their chances of false teeth
imported hair and cork legs In conclusion the
justice says; Such defects are common to hui
mainly and must be CHANGED in contemplating
eonnubial bliss. Dreams of connubal bliss will
hardly be attractive if the dark forebodings
IN this opinion are justified
This decision will probably have depressing
elfeci upon matrimony which, statistics show, is
sufficiently depressed already At any rate, it
iGny give pause to many of Those who lare been
contemplating abandoning single blessedness.
Many ladies who have been anxiously awaiting
leap year will probably be restrained from exer-
cisng the privilege Of the season when they hear
that false teeth. imported hair and cork legs
are common and that marriage, even to a fraction
of a helpmeet, is final
But really there is why deserving
ladies should be frightened by this decision and
there is no why they should take the
chances. 1t is easy matter for a determined
lady to test any prospective husband for these
defects To ascertain whether not he has
false teeth the lady should try the gentleman

Ii he refuses TO partake there is good reason to
believe that his smile is product of the science

prospective husband has cork leg the lady

pain The best way is to jab hatpm INTO both
LEGS. If he does not jump he is undoubtedly

cult it is probably genuine. Otherwise 1t is not

since 'these defects are common" she cannot be
blamed for using few commen-sense tests.

STILL A POLITICAL JOKE.

While William Randolph Hearst is trying to
prove Governor Wilson Of New Jersey an enemy
of organized labor he ought to print the story
of how "scabs'' have been employed in the
mines from which the Hearst gold is taken. II
he believes himself big enough man for the
presidency he ought to be capable of telling the
whole truth, part of which is that on numerous
occasions Hearst has had rather unpleasant ex-
eriences with the unions in connection with
both his mines and his newspapers.
Hearst's attempt to make himself president
today is as much political joke as it was in
1904 when his name was presented to the demo-
cratic national convention by d. NJ. Delmas and
when NJ f Tarpey was in charge he is to-
day 1t is as absurd as when he had a nobody
named Hisgen nominated and personally financed
the activities of the Independence league.
An interesting story of the birth of Hearst 5
ambition TO head the nation has for several years
been common talk in the newspaper offices of the
country Shortly before the St Louis conven-
ton at which Judge Alton b. Parker was NOM
mated. the late Arthur McEwen, of the most
brilliant writer's who ever contributed to the
Hearst newspapers, walked into Hearst S Office
in New York and found his employer contem-
plating a campaign for the governorshp of New
York
81 think III run for governor" Hearst is
reported to have said,
oh hell y snorted McEwen IF your go
ing to run for anything run for president What
does being governor amount to?''
And, according to the yarn. Hearst failing
to appreciate McEwens sarcasm soon thereafter
set Andy Lawrence and a few others to work
framing up his candidacy for the democratic
nomination. McEwen told the story in San Fran
cisco before he departed for the east and thence
for Bermuda where he died.

TAFT's KEYNOTE SPEECH.

The speech delivered by President Taft at the
Mckinley Day banquet of the Tippecanoe club at
Cleveland is well spoken of as the keynote speech
He reviewed the achievements of his administra-
ton presenting them in straightforward, concise
style and defending himself strongly the tar
if question. He announced sturdily that there
is no occasion for the republicans to fear the
issue with their knowledge of the progress that
has been made in the last four years, with the
adoption of progressive principles indicated in
their platform of 1909 and the proposals of the
administration since that time, says the Salt Lake
Tribune
Giving a comprehensive review Of the events
Of his administration, he referred specifically to
the tariff and pointed out the mistakes that the
democrats have made in treating of this queS-
ton. He made very clear the distinction between
the facts and the assumptions of the democrats
with respect to the verdict of the country at the
election of 1910 The democrats seem to think
that that reversal of American policy Of
protection. whereas. as the president pointed out,
II was merely vote of censure upon the repub-
lican party for not honestly and mtelgently
living up to its party pledges made in the cam
paign of 1908. On this particular point President
Taft was ON firm ground, because he himself
had made clear to the country in his speeches
that the pledge Of the national republican plat
form of that year meant that the tariff was to be
revised downward. And yet there was developed
here mistake of his own in not getting into
NhN tdIlh edFlN enough during the special SeS-
SION OF 1909 To control matters and force revision
downward as the party platform pledged the
republican congress to do
The president dewitt upon the advantages Of
the creation of the tariff board and the need

such board could supply, and has supplied to

He defended also the creation of the COM
