Atlanta, July 2.-Ollie Taylor, 13
years old, Of this city, who has serv-

formatory, to-day was paroled by the
county commissioners for four
months.
The boy, whose case has recently
attracted wide attention because he
was sentenced under a Georgia law
which would have compelled him to
stay in the reformatory until he was
81 years old unless sooner paroled,
will be eligible for further parole at
the end of four months if his con-
duct meets with the approval of the
reformatory officials. He said to-
day that he wished to find a place to
work where he could learn to be an
automobile mechanic.

Better Love in a Cottage
Than Riches and an
Empty Life.

You see these women have
found out what a terrible thing
II is to have nothing but money,
and how little money really buys.
1t doesn't take you long to get all
you can eat and wear, and then
the purchasing power of money
stops. 1t won't buy you love, nor
a single solitary thrill, nor
brighten by one degree the
dreary, soggy, endless evenings
that you spend tete-a-tete with a
husband whose society bores you
to extinction.
Marry the man you love, girls,
the man who interests you, the
man with whom you have every
thought and sympathy in com
mon. though he be as poor as a
church mouse. Youth calls to
youth, you must match enthu-
siasm with enthusiasm, hope
with hope You must enjoy the
same things, like to do the same
things, to have any comradeship,
and comradeship between hus-
band and wife makes the only
enduring tie, It is the only thing
that brings happiness.
Better is a dinner of herbs that
two happy young hearts can
laugh over than a dinner at the
finest restaurant with an old
gourmet whose faded palate moth
ing can tickle. Better a suburb
an cottage with love than a city
palace and an empty heart and
an EMMY Nfe.

limousine. She would like to have
her opera box, and wonderful
gowns, and ropes of pearls, and
diamond tiaras. She would like
to travel and see her picture in
smart society Journals, and she
knows that she has just to say
one little word and all these
things will be hers.
Her head assents to what the
wise women say, but not her
heart. That cries out for some
slim youth with the curl of boy
hood still in his crisp hair. with
his eyes full Of dreams and his
pockets empty, whose lightest
touch thrills her from head to
foot, and the sound OF whose step
coming toward her is the music of
the spheres to her ears.
But this is a practical age,
when even Cupid has to take ac-
count of the high cost of living,
. and 50 the girl is torn between
the temptation of love and plen-
ty. Which shall it be-the old
man who can give her a shop
ping ticket. or the young man
who can give her little but ro-
nance? Which shall it be, bread
and cheese and kisses, or truf-
fies and champagne and bare toll
erance?
Take the young man, girls, the
poor young man and love, rather
than the old man without love,
although every hair on your eld-
erly suitor's head be strung with
diamonds. Marriage, at best, is
no picnic. 1t is a strenuous I'M
dertaking, full of trials and tribu-
lations and troubles, and the only
thing on earth that can gid its
letters and make it endurable is
love
You never know how cranky a
human being can be, ard how
many of the fifty different
varieties of frailties and weak
nesses he or she can possess until
you are married to the said i'm
perfect party. and nothing but
seeing this individual enveloped
in halo of tenderness keeps you
out of the divorce court. Mar
rage without love and without
romance is a hell on earth. and
the whole Standard Oil crowd
combined haven't got enough
money to pay anybody for going
through a lifetime of it.
The girl who marries for a
home or for the luxuries some
man can give her has no right to
draw her skirts away from any
woman of the street She has
sold herself just as truly as any
Of that sorrowful sisterhood, and
with less excuse.
Moreover, no woman earns her
living in a harder way than she
who marries for it and who must
make all of the inevitable sacri-
fees of matrimony, not through
love which sweetens them, but be-
cause it is her duty as a wife.

slnecure was evidently first pro-
pounded by a doddering old wild
over trying to marry a debu-
tante. It is a misleading guide
to go by. The rich old man is
willing to dress his pretty young
wife up like a fine doll and show
her off before his friends, but be-
yond her millinery no one need
envy the old mans darling her
luck. ....-
Old people are almost invaria-
bly, tyrannical, and set in their
ways, and narrow, and selfish,
and opinionated, and to these I'M
amiable qualities the old husband
invariably and justifably adds
Jealousy. The young wife Of an
old man earns all she gets by
putting up with the crabbedness
of age, by having all of her ac-
tions spied upon, and by having
to nurse the rheumatism and the
govt when she would like to be
enjoying the pleasures that be-
long to her age.
look at the young wives OF old
men that you know, the girls who
have married for money. Is there
one happy-lookins one among
them all? Did you ever see wear
Ter, more bored-looking faces?
They do not look alert and alive
as working women look. They
have not the smiling contented
faces that the wives of so many
poor men have.
