SHEPARD FINDS HIS
PATH IS NOT ROSY
HELEN GOULDS FTANCE HAS TO
KEEP EVEN HIS ABODE
SECRET.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.--No task in
al, his sixteen strenuous years Of rail-
road experience has been half so irk-
some, says Finley J. Shepard, who Is
to marry Helen NJ. Gould, early In
January, as maintaining an outward
semblance of calm while the major
portion of New York's population Is
staring at him.
Today Mr. Shepard entered upon
his transferred duties as assistant to
the president OF the Missouri Pacific.
Iron Mountain, and Denver and Rio
Grande railroads.
Just say that I am busy as usual.
and scratching my head in perplex-
ity." he said to a reporter. Il am
not at liberty to make public any OF
our plans. AS q matter OF fact, they
are not yet completed. We shall be
married-soon. A good trip to some
good place will follow
1t is said that the wedding will take
place within a fortnight after Christ
mas. Nothing definite could be learn
ed at Miss Gould's residence.
Mr.. Shepard Is keeping secret his
present home address. He declares
that he desired. thereby, to avoid
meeting the hordes Of people who
are clamortng to see him.
Although Mr.. Shepard declined to
talk about 1t. the fact became known
that he has received at his offic es
many letters from mendtcants and
charity agents. Many ask for money
for the support Of obscure soup kitch-
ems or church mortgages. Others are
direct requests for personal loans"
Miss Gould IL delighted with the
action Of the 10000 enlisted men in
the Atlantic fleet. who arc subscrib-
ing to . great fund to purchase her .
present for her wedding day. It Is
said that the gift will be 4 magnificent
silver service. although no conhrma-
ton Of this could be had.

.LAUDS THE CHOICE
OF HELEN GOULD
REV. JAMES B. ELY GIVES HIS
VIEWS UPON MATRI-
MONY.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23.-Rev.
James 3. Ely. the we'll known million
aire of this city, addressed the Pres
byterian ministers meeting here to-
day. and In his talk he took occasion
to comment on the coming marriage
OF Miss Helen Gould. Dr. Ely said:
There never was q time in our
country's history when there were
so mahy unhappy homes and ii might
all be obviated If there was more
practical Christianity in them.
IF husbands. and wives, would get
right with God flrst, they would
speedily get right with each other.
The real trouble Is that too many fool
lsh trusting women and men are
unbeIievers. They fondly imagine
that because of their love and in
auence, the man will stop his
bad habits after his marriage.
The example that Miss Helen
Gould has set in choosing her nus
band, a God-fearing and God-lovtng
man, Is one that every young girl In
the nation ought to follow. 1t will
do more to solve the home problems
than ten thousand sermons on divorce,
and expect that Ii will turn out to be
one Of the most successful matches
that has ever been made.
Marriages like this will show what
will result II men and women will only
follow their best Judgment. that Ia tc
select life partners who worship the
same master and have the same ideals
Miss Gould has shown time and again
much human sympathy and her fu-
ture husband Is man thoroughly
schooled in the same life that they
have found much happiness in. The
home problem here is solved even
before the wedding. and l wish al
young people would follow their ex-
ample.
From what know OF my owr
church can we'll say Il the majority
Of the women in 1t have chosen &c
remain single, they have done wisely
for the average marriage is not cal
culated to be any thing but life OF
wnridltnAAs"
