Business Opportunities Plentiful.

Regarding business opportunities
there are many in this country, and
with the high price of coffee the plant

we are hoping for a satisfactory solu-
tion of the financial question in the
near future.

will take a boom If the new political
adjustments in the United States do

Regarded as Biggest Gun.

While several angles already have been
formed to. the contest against the rail-
roads by the filing of petitions before
the commerce commission. and even be-
fore the Department Of Justice by the
filing of petition to break up an alleged
trust combine. it was declared today that
the real big gun In the coming rate fight
would not be fired until the filing Of the
petition which will be acted upon by the
attorneys tomorrow.
All the efforts Of counsel, it was de-
clared today, by one who is following the
case closely, will be centered right on
this case. although 1t is possible that
several other complaints against rates
would likely follow this original petition,
which. 1t is believed, will be filed within
the next few days.

No Woman Looks Today

For what a woman looks like
today she will not look like to-
morrow, nor the day after, nor
the years after that Romeo
swears that he knows every
curve and dimple of Juliet's face,
and every adorable expression
that fits across it. But what
about. the sharp angles, and
wrinkles, and hollows, and
crows feet that sickness, or age,
or temper changes it into?
The truth is that all marriage
is leap into the dark, and the
result depends so completely
upon accident that sometimes
one is tempted to think that the
grabbag principle of selecting a
husband or wife is just as good
as any other.
1t is one of the most tragical
facts of existence that there
seems to be no way of judging
beforehand what sort of a hus-
band or wife any man or woman
will make, and that all the ordi-
nary tests of character by which
we Judge people fail absolutely
before the acid test of matri-
mony.
For instance, our rough ideal
of fine man is a man who is
honest, upright, just in his deal
ings with others, and liberal
spender. If, in addition to these
qualities, we can say that he is a
good son we feel that we have
described a paragon that any
woman ought to thank God for
getting.
But does the possession of
these admirable qualities insure
that a man will make a good
husband? 1t does not.

So Every Woman Who

So every woman who marries

Many a poor man who has

looks all came off with the paint
and powder and false hair and
transformations that were too
much trouble to be worn every
day for a mere husband Many

Many man who marries a poor
girl because she is thrifty and

she's got man to toll for her.

THE newspapers have re-
entity contained accounts
= of the marriage of middle
aged couple who had never met
until the wedding day, and in
which the bridegroom had never
seen the brides face until she
lifted the heavy veil she wore
after the ceremony was per-
formed.
1t is the custom among many
Oriental people for man to
thus marry, sight unseen, and to
get his first glimpse of his wife
after it is too late to return her
to the bargain counter in case
she doesn't come up to his ideal
of female pulchritude, but, SO far
as is known, this is the first time
an American man has entered
the holy state without taking a
squint at his fellow adventurer
to see whether she was a peach
or a lemon.
OF course, we all know that
appearances are deceptive, and
the eye is the poorest of all
guides to go by, especially in
Judging a woman. Still, the
faithful candidate for matrimony
has felt that he must do what he
could to protect himself against
unnecessary risks, and. at least,
pick out wife that looked good
to him. Hence, the world stands
appalled, at the reckless bravado
of the man who has added one
more foolhardy hazard to the
Big Gamble by marrying a lady
whose countenance he has never
beheld.
Yet, after all, does this man
who marries the veiled lady take
much bigger chance, even on
her looks, than does every other
man who takes a wife?
