CAN A YOUNG MAN LOVE TWO

But the soft eye of blue

So much is said about a mans best
girl that we cannot help Wondering
how many girls he is supposed to
have. Does each awaken similar SEN
timents in his breast or is his lik-
ing carefully graded? 1t must be
conceded that he pays each one GER

or the other would die out for lack of
sparkling. II he is an athletic young
fellow, fond Of out-ofdoor sports, he
has one girl for the golf links or one

automobile girl, who doesn't culver

GIRLS WHO DREAM OF WEALTH..

Can wealth give happiness? Look round
and see
What gay distress, what splendid mis-
cry!
Whatever fortune lavishly can pour
The mind annihtlates and calls for
more"
1t has been said that worldly
wealth is the devils bait; those whose
minds feed upon riches recede in gen.
eral from real happiness"
1t Is sad enough to see those who
are weary battling with the world
grasping for wealth, but it is sadder
still to hear from the lips of girl in
her teens "Ill never marry unless |
can get rich man" Such a girl sees
before her minds eye visions of splen-
dora fine home, liveried servants,
automobiles, an opera box and flash
ing jewels. 1t never occurs to her to
give a thought to the kind of man
who would give her all of these lux
uries.
If she were to be transplanted from
her humble home to such life of
grandeur, she does not consider that
it would mean raising an impossible
barrier between those who had loved
and toiled with her and herself
She could not continue the intimacy
with the girls who had worked side
by side with her, sharing their torn
umbrellas with her because she was
too poor to own one; aye and their
luncheons, a bit of dessert that was
such a treat to her. The lives Of the
women who had been born to wealth
would be far apart from hers
She cannot drop the threads of an
old life and pick up those of new
and fit into the surroundings perfect
ly in many day.
There can be unhappiness under
meath silken bodices. The rich man
a girl is pleased to wed may have
tastes that are repulsive to a refined
girl; glazing faults that would bar her
from Joy; an unsympathetic nature
and cold heart. Could flashing gems
and shimmering silks satisfy her long
ing for companionship or for ten
der word or fugitive caress? Many a
girl who weds for wealth and out of
her sphere wishes in her hearts
depth she could undo it. She sobs in
her loneliness: Would that | had
welded the poor, struggling clerk.
who loved me well He would have
spent his evenings at home, | would
have work to do; but toll would have
been sweet for loves sake" If poor
girl marries rich, she has no guarSn-
ty his wealth may not take wings
When she is older weaker, unable to
cope with the world, she seeks eagerly
for the work she tossed so gladly
from her in the days when she was
young and life before her. Girls
should marry for love and help their
husbands accumulate wealth. Then
1t can be equally enjoyed by both,
hand to hand and heart to heart.

WITHDRAW RESIGNATION.
RESIGNED FROM PARLIAMENT
English Statesman, in Accordance

Officers Absolutely Decline to Re-
tain Rank in Army.

London, April 1.-Following all the
many solutions of the government
crisis which had been proposed and
discussed Premier Asquith announced
a decision to the house of commons
on Monday which none of the prophets
had expected or even suggested.
The prime minister himself, will as
sume the burden Of the war office, in
addition to his other and almost crush
ing duties. He will resign from the
house at this critical stage, when the
second reading of the home rule bill Is
about to be taken up, and will appeal
to his constituents in East Fife, Scot
land, within few days for reelection.

of the imperial general staff, and Gen.
Sir John Ewart adjutant general, de-

had been for some days under fire
from the newspapers of his own party.
which Insisted that he must go.
Viscount Morley of Blackburn, lord
president of the council, who was part
ner with Colonel Seely in drafting the
offending paragraphs of the docu-
ment, stands in the same position and
his withdrawal from Office is expected.
The only practical loss to the party
meantime will be the withdrawal Of
Mr.. Asquiths voice from the debates.
"Oh, III be handy If I'm wanted"
Mr.. Asquith remarked to Andrew
Bonar Law, the opposition leader who
thought that the home rule bill could
not be proceeded with in the absence
of the premier
Mr.. Asquith apparently consulted no
one except the king before his bold
decision. His colleagues in the cabinet
seemed to be as surprised as the other
members of the house when he re.
vealed his plans. Mr.. Asquith is al
ready first lord of the treasury
The political seers gather that Mr.
Asquth is in fighting mood. They
have been saying recently that he had
shown the effects in his physical APP
pearance Of the heavy strain Of his
long labor in office and would gladly
see the government defeated. But it
looks at the present moment as though
he had taken a new lease of life and
proposes to make the reorganization
of the army fighting issue.
THE whole army system may have
to be recast," Colonel Seely remarked
significantly.
Both houses debated the situation at
great length, but the debates simmered
down into mere assertions. on the one
side. of plot to seIuce the army, and
on the other side, of plot to crush the

counterdenials and heated personal
