Mr.. Fuller of Illinois obtained unan-

two letters:

Without sham, with no iimfam,
they put their trust in Uncle Sam;
And say that he from want is free

Moneys Fart in Marriage.


Scores Of persons lose their chances
of being happily married through max
ing an unnecessary obstacle of money.
The Importance of it is often exagger-
ated. Many a man hesitates to pro-
pose to a girl because Of his small in
come. Very often much misery. mis-.
understanding and tangled lives result
from the silence. Moro unfortunate
love affairs are the result of what has
not been said than OF spoken words.
When man has small sure in
come, and prospect Of increase,
there is no legitimate reason for his
not speaking of his love; no reason,
for that matter. to prevent marriage.
People are SO desperately afraid,
though, Of beginning married life in
a small way. They fear the sacrifices
which they will be called upon to
make-of the criticism to which they

piness are lost in this way. It is such
