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. More unfortunate
love affairs are the result OF what has
not been said than Of spoken words.
When a man has a small sure in
come, and a 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
maIe-of the criticism to which they
will be subjected. Many years of hap
piness are lost in this way. 1t is such
a mistake for young people to want to
start marriage in the state that their
parents are ending it.
To delay marriage until comfort.

| and Constantinople is the contrast be-
tween Europe and Asia. Here is or
der, cleanliness, up-to-dateness; there
is helter-skelter clutteration, dirt and
archaism. The European dress, the
familiar urban custSms, and the gen
eral sense of at-homeness, put the
sympathies of the traveller from Asia
at o1ce with the Greeks.
Americas Influence Upon Greece.
The new life of the west has per-
meated this old nation. There is a
constant interfow of thought between
Greece and Britain and America.
Three million dollars are sent here
annually by Greeks in the United
States. Last year, from only one
American consular district in this
country, the number of emigrants to
the United States amounted to one
per cent. Of the entire population Of
all of Greece.
OF course, this is a serious drain
upon the vital power OF the nation.
But the Greeks abroad send and bring
back modern ideas. The labor union
| Is f1ourishing. l saw it work on a
Russian steamer in the harbor. The
Russian officer in charge Of the load
| ing of the cargo flew into a passion
| at one of the hands, because the lat
| ter could not understand Russian. He
ordered the interpreter to discharge
him, whereupon all the stevedores left
| the ship within five minutes. The
poverty of the country is being amel-
| iorated, and compulsory education is
general everywhere. although far too
large a proportion of the curricula is
devoted to Ancient Greece.
This influence of the Greece of
| twenty-five centuries ago is at once a
| pernicious and a noble force in the
life of the nation. Everybody is post

everybody here so sure that the con-
fict is not only certain, but also that
it is near. In COnstantinople | dis
covered no signs of an immediate pur-
pose to have it out with Greece. My
Judgment was, and is, that the Young
Turks have trouble enough at home
for the present. Their own house
needs to be set in order; and | can
not agree with the careful observers
over here who think that the best
cure OF Turkeys internal ills would
be a short and easy war. Greeks lis
tened with incredulous hope when l
told them why l thought hostilities re-
mote. Even the new hero of the ma
ton, Venizellos, late prime minister
of Crete, to whom all Greece looks as
a deliverer, fervently told me that he
hopes my optimism is warranted, so
that Greece may have more time to
make ready.
A nation scared is not pretty
sight. The thrill which a traveller
feels as for the first time he looks
uron the Acropolis, and the other
magnificent ruins of Greece's ancient
glory; or as he stands on the top of
the Parthenon and looks off in one
direction to Marathon, and in another
! to Salamis, must give way to quite

That is the essence of a report that

Of a large part Of Thessaly, and the
disarmament and naturalization Of
Greece by the powers. At the same
time, Crete will be given up by Tur-

an apple Of discord, Of which the OF

PITIFUI. SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed
an infiamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even In
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have stitch OF
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He Is
very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cutt
eura Soap and Ointment.
Not until | commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. l don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would

You mean to say you carry a

Bud. Bud then offered to bet there

bet $40. Bud did not have any more
