Professions and Their
Relation to Marriage.
A Mans Business Certainly Influences His Character
and 1t is Well for Wife-toBe to Consider That

most fluently about the yearnings for
heaven they are thinking most about
flirtations on earth. Therefore the woman
who cannot detect the difference between
mans zeal for the salvation OF the
eve lambs in his flock and mundane love
affairs does wen to say mo" TO a
preacher.
No woman outside OF the theatrical pro-
fession should marry an actor because no
other woman is quick enough change ar
fist to fall in and out Of love so as not
to make a messy tragedy Of matrimony
The life OF the actor concentrates his at
tention on the emotions and makes them
tho center of the universe. Therefore, he
| is always taking tho temperature OF his
affections. and the minute they've gone
down from the boiling point to normal he
becomes alarmed and nervous and starts
out on a still hunt for something in the
way Of a tonic.
Actresses. being also temperamental,
feel the same way, and understand this
condition OF affairs perfectly. Therefore.
there are seldom any hard feelings or
hurt hearts In a theatrical divorce.
Ordinary women, not in the profession.
cannot reach these emotional heights.
cAAiu 81 Nuty are Wise " lh6N GNnIine their
alterations for matinee heroes TO the front
! or the house. instead Of behind the foot
lights.
Generally speaking, the safest choice
for a husband Is just the ordinary. every
day business man. He doesn't expect too
much of q wife. because he's used to
employing people and knows the measure
of human imperfections. He also knows
that nothing ever comes up to your hopes
of It, and so he sets down the disappoint-
ments OF matrimony to the general profit
and loss account of life and let's 1t go
at that
He Is not accustomed to flattery like
the doctor and the lawyer and the actor
and so he Is willing to admire his wife
instead Of expecting her to throw bou-
quets at him. He gets about all the ex-
element that he wants in his business,
and so he is content to stay at home at
night, and is easily tanned and domesti-
Gated. and for these and other reasons he
makes the preferred risk in matrimony.

Of For War

James and Charles Bowel, 16
and IA years old, who came to Elk
ton with their parents from Vir-
ginia during the winter and later
removed to property near Rising
Sun, took it into their heads to 90
and fight the ''Greasers,' one day
last week. They made their way to
Elkton and calling at Alexander s
hardware store asked for two joints
of stovepipe. While the proprie-
tor was up stairs getting the pipe
the boys stole two revolvers and
some cartridges. They started for
Baltimore and stopped at the house
of Mrs Elizabeth Loose, near
Bacon Hill, where they obtained
dinner, paying her out of 81 which
they stole from her along with a
watch while her back was turned.
They were caught in Baltimore and

Successful Mission Services

The mission or spiritual revival,
in progress this week at st. Thomas
Episcopal Church, is attracting
much attention among all classes
and the attendance is increasing
each night.
The mission is conducted by the
Rev. F. S. DeVona, very spiritual
preacher from Michigan, who has
had long experience in such work.
These services are held daily. Holy
Communion is celebrated each
morning at 8 clock, then is an in
formal talk and meditation at 4
p. m. and preaching with few
familiar hymns at s p. m. The mis-
sion closes Sunday night.
There is a question box at the
door and the Rev. Mr.. DeVona will
be glad to answer any questions
submitted to him respecting the
q ible or the teachings of the Church
or religion in general.
All are invited to the mission inr-
respective Of their church affiia-
tons, especially those who attend
no church at all.

Boy Scouts In Service

The local troop Of Boy Scouts
has been active during the last few
weeks, since the opening of spring.
Hikes have been the order of every
Saturday, the trail chosen on April
18th being to Indian Rock, among
the hills Of Cecil county, Maryland,
about five miles north Of town. The
rain of last Saturday upset the
boys plan and the hike they had
intended taking was postponed un-
til the second Of May.
The presence Of an organization
of Scouts should be encouraged by
every resident of the community.
If they do not succeed in living up
to the high ideals Of the Scout law,
every boy at least gains an ac-
quaintance with right living and
high ideals, by which he cannot
fail to profit. No one who under
stands the deep significance of this
worldwide, stupendous attempt "to
harness all the spare energy of all
the boys in creation and turn it in
to useful channels can long with
hold cordially backing any prac-
teal attempt in his community.
The Milford Chronicle in a re-
cent issue, gives several interesting
instances Of the use of these organ
izations in a neighborhood.
After the great fire in Bangor,
Maine, the Scout of that city, on the
request of the mayor, turned out in
full force and helped the police
guard the household goods piled in
front Of the burned houses. The
Boy Scouts of Chicago, under the
guidance of experts of the Park
Department, have declared war on
all tree-destroying insects, and in
Chambersburg, Pa, they have ep-
ened hostilities upon the mosquito.
In Denver, Colorado, a certain
number Of Scouts are daily detailed
to lead blind people to and from
the public reading room for the
blind. In Glen Falls. N. Y, the
mayor is Scout official and Scout
meetings are held in City Hall.
When the mayor was once asked if
this did not interfere with his off
cial duties, replied: 81 consider
this work quite as important to the
city's welfare as any Of my official
duties. y And so on through an
endless list.
