HIS ONE GREAT ADVANTAGE
Bachelor Is Free to Get Married q
ANY Time II He Wants
To!

The advantages OF being a bachelor
are SO many that their mere number
is confusing. While one Is lolling
around in the midst OF them, 80 to
speak, this confusion may be disas-
trous. for it is just in these moments
that one is most likely to fall In love
with some one. Let US, therefore,
dwell on only one advantage as being
paramount to all of the others.
This advantage then. Is that a bach
elor is always free to marry II he
wants to. Think OF It! There Is no
other condition like It!
For example, II you are once mar
ried. you are then not free to marry
again when you want to. To do thi,
YOU must first 60 to your wife and
explain the matter and get her con
sent. You can do nothing withou,
her cooperation. Now. it 10 by nc
means easy In those days to get a.
appointment with ones wife. The oh
ject must nrst be fully explained DO
forehand or she will have none Of you
With q bachelor. however, no ain
Guilty presents itself. At any moment
he has only to say to himself, Il be
lieve I will get married." and tn
thing 10 AZ good as done.
Not that he Is compelled to Avail
himself Of the opportunity. OF cours,
not! The Idea Of any kind OF freedom
10 never to avail ones self Of it. Th<
great advantage Is that It 10 AWAY,
there. We never draw upon It 1
does Us no intrinsic good. 1t 10 JUS
there.
And 80 for q bachelor. being mar
ried' 10 always Just there" He con
templates 1t with satisfaction. He ca,
do 1t II he wants to. Therein lies hi,
supreme strength. To avail himself o
the opportunity is. Of course, to TAX,
away bis own freedom.-Lfe.

Elisha Ridgeway was simple man
Of forty and lived on a farm alone
and made his own bed and did his
own cooking. Time after time he was
asked why he didn't marry, and time
after time his reply was:
"Mebbe | orter and mebbe not.
dunno bout it,"
But there came time when he did
know. 1t was about a year after the
death of farmer Baker. Elisha had
known him and his wife for ten years.
For twelve months he went over and
helped the widow out as duty, but
one day he stopped his horses at the
pillow and rubbed his chin in a reflect
i've way and said to himself:
Gosh all fish-hooks. but guess I
ought to marry Nancy! That hired
man of hers needs a man to boss him,
and some of her COWS are always
ailin' or the hogs havn' the cholera.
Elisha Ridgeway. it's your duty"
That evening he went over to see
the widow He was more quiet than
usual. and by and by she took notice
and asked:
IIsha. anything on your mind?"
"Jest leetle." was the reply.
Tatcr-bugs amt come, have they?"
Haven't got squirt of single
one"
Didn't lose any turkeys by the last
cold rain?"
"Noap. What's on my mind. Nancy,
is gettin' married"
"For the lands sake!"
"Yes, thought youn me would get
married"
Hear the man talk"
"Yes, I'm a.talkin'. Thought it all
over this afternoon. Better set the
weddin' day"
Elisha Ridgeway was a good-natured
man and meant well. but he made a
mistake. lie made 1t because he was
an old bachelor. II did not occur to
him that woman must be won. Even
a cross-eyed, lop-slouldered woman
isn't going to be picked up and luggcd
off to the altar without enough hang
ing back to save appearances. Had
Elisha been counting for even a month
things might have been different, but
he hadn't cOurted at all. He had sim
ply sat on the porch with the widow
and talked crops and country gossip.
There had been glorious sunsets and
silvery moons and songs by the whip
pOOrwills, but not so much as a sigh
from him. And there was something

else to obstruct the way. The widow
looked at him for q moment and then
said:
"'Lisha. there amt goin' to be no
wcddin' day"
nut why?"
In the first place I'm all eat up
with establishment. and In the next
you must have heard what Sarah
Jones said the day my husband was
buried?"
Don't remember"
But do. and so does Z heap Of
other folks. She keeps quiet for .
minute and then mods her head and
says:
"'You Jest put It down in black and
white that Nancy Baker will marry
agin as soon as the year IL up"
Yes. IAsha, them are her very
words. and more'n a dozen women
have got 'em writ down. Dye think
I'm goin' to let the words Of that old
grasswidow come true? No stree!
But it's over a year." he protested.
Yes. It's thirteen months. one day
and two hours. to be exact. but Sarah
Jones would giggle just the same"

he found he'd got to 60 that be ex.

an Of my word. When I heard of what
Sarah Jones said I said to myself that
wouldn't marry agin under FIVE years
at least. and I'll keep my word"
There was a groan from poor Elisha
that touched her heart. and her voice
was sympathetic as she said:
Il a.s't sayin' that don't like you
but I'm sayin' you'll have to wait four
years more"
Another long drawn groan.
But you come over and court
Courtin' is next to marryin'."
Elisha groaned some more. but the
widow Baker vas implacable. Fou,
years more If il killed her stone dead,
II was lonely man that went home
10 a lonely house.
The very next day. while he was a,

Elisha thought of the two long years
and sighed and went his way with a
feeling that Luck might keep things
going She did. Only three days later.
when he went to carry back Dor
rowed hoe, he found the widow Baker
in the well where she had been for
three long hours. and was chilled
through and through In drawing a
bucket of water she had leaned too far
over the curb.

she said with chattering teeth as he

a thunderstorm one midnight. and the
