, just sat around the house reading and
smoking and having a good time, and
those assorted children bought every
thing ne wanted and made it their life
work to see that he was comfortable
and happy.
The whole town saw all this, and
the very men who held up their hands
in horror when Gus married the widow,
and said he was the champion heavy
! weight fool of the United States, began
to insist that Gus displayed the wis
dom of the serpent when he made that
excursion to the altar. ] have known
a dozen instances gOing to show that
the folly Of a fool often beats the wis
dom of a sage.
Everybody said that Susan Graft
was a fool when she married Sol
WeatherWaN. Susan was as pretty as
a red wagon and several thrifty young
men had asked her to hook up with
them, but she turned them down as
fast as they came along. and then &C
cepted Sol. The whole countryside was
aStOunded, and there was some talk of
calling out the militia, for Sol was
VIGOROUSLY worthless He wouldn't
get down to any KIM of useful toll
He was always fiddling and tinkering
around, making airships that wouldn't
work, and eggbeaters that wouldn't
beat When il became known that he
had used uD all his Wife's savings to
patent a washing machine he had in
vented. we all held an Indignation
meeting and passed resolutions that
ought to have taken the heart out Of
Sol But he didn't seem to care, and
neither did his wife.
Then the next thing we heard was
that Sol had sold all rights to his
washing machine for a good size for
tune. and he and his wife packed I'D
their belongings and went for a tour
OF Europe, and the town sat back and
famed itself, and hadn't a blamed
thing to say for six months. 7 have
seen so many things of that nature

their skin varies somewhat, and forms

gradations and blendings along their

With each color goes a prejudice,

SophrOnia's Wedding
A Story Of the Moment
BY WALT MASON
The lannon's Prose Poet

66U THINK Jim Bungalow is a great
fool for marrying Sophronia
Il GoOseworthy," observed the as
SCISSOR. "She is twice as old as he is,
and she has a temper that would make
a wasp's nest seem mild and temper
ate. Jim might have had his choice of
a dozen attractive women, and yet he
was fool enough TO marry SOphronia."
Il am willing to admit" said the
village patriarch, that I never found
SOphrOnia fascinating, and if were in
the market for a wife I'd think sew
eral times before inviting her 10 be-
come my bride. Yet 1 don't think it's
ever safe to call man a fool, and
take it. for granted that Jim had rea-
sons for marrying her, which reasons
he was too chivalrous to publish in
the local newspapers. 1 have heard
that SophrOnia is q remarkably good
cook, and i have positive evidence OF
the fact that Jim has the appetite OF
an alligator. A man gifted with such
an appetite is willing 10 overlook
whole lot in a woman if he is con-
WINGED that she can make a cOOkstove
do her bidding.
I remember when my old friend
Augustus Shoemaker married the wild
oW Gangling. The nuptials occurred in
this town many years ago, and there
was general CONSERVATION. The streets
were fairly blocked with people who
had stopped to explain to each other
how great a fool Gus was. The widow
was an admirable woman, but she had
seven children, and they were all too
small to be of any use. Everybody
wondered what possessed the man to
marry mass meeting that way. Yet
Gus seemed perfectly cOntented, and
there was no way of making him suffer
Tor II legally SO after a while the
town got over its indignation and be-
gan TO consider other things.
Gus worked along for years. fairly
Wrenching his back to provide the
necessaries of life for that bunch of
offspring and to send them to school
and make their lives a round of pleas
ure. His wife died, and sometime after
wards he had several of his limbs
broken accidentally. and became a
cripple for life Never again would he
earn a round dollar by manual labor
BY that time some of the boys and
girls were nearly grown, and they
went to work with remarkable en-
thusiasms- earning the money to keep
the home going And until he cashed

a fair stopper who is being driven, but
there can be no question that she is

slightly confusing without an explana-

compelled to hold himself well behind

heels Next the lady is forced to
guard against a too far forward atti-
tude of her body.
If both dancers are careful to extend
each leg with every step taken as far
as possible with grace, and to point the
toe. they will surely assume the correct
bodily position. This is the secret of
the flgure-eXtend each leg and point

ange Business Men
Deferred.

As q result of action taken by a
number of prominent men in Orange

dicted success for such an organiza-
ton.
I'VE realize the necessity of such
an organization in the CITY," said
Judge Davis, ''as the board can CO.
operate with the governing body in
solving the important problems that
are confronting Orange. Need for
such a board has long been felt and
| am sure success will characterize
our efforts to better conditions gem
orally" he added.
State Senator Austen Colgate, who
is president of the Chamber of Com
merce of Jersey City, related his
knowledge of the workings of Board
of Trade and he urged the immediate
establishment of such an organiza-
ton in orange, pointing out what can
be accomplished by the organization.
Desiring to have the formation of
the organization brought about as
quickly as possible, the men selected
Mayor Frank ]. Murray. former City
Counsel William A. Lord and Joseph
D. Holmes a committee to draft
constitution and bylaws. There will
be another meeting on June 25, when
permanent organization will be eff
fected. Senator Colgate was selected
to act as chairman until the forma-
ton of the organization and j. Alex

Former Judge Thomas A. Davis,
