From the sphere of our sorrow
 Parents who ere so eager for their daughters to marry that they consent yokes at the age of sixteen years may have many a year to regret having given their sanction. Where the bride groom is also very young a mere youth, the blame cannot be put upon his shoulders. Youth-ike, he sees a pretty face, and, without rhyme or reason, the thought of marriage pops into his head. There's always some one ready to tie the knot.
 The youthful couple launches into the sea. of wed1ock like children who step into a toy boat and, without rud- der or compass, push out on the broad ocean to sink or swim. as the case may be. It usually takes a decade of years for such a pair to wake up to the fact that each might have made a different choice had they not entered into it when the heart was too young to realize the step
 The husband has been beset. by bus mess cares and accepts this situation Not so the wife If she has neither the cares of a family or housework to divert her thoughts, she gives herself up to disconnected reflections and to looking about seing the kinds of hus- bands other girls won. She is sure to think her own husband suffers by comparison.
 v If she listens to upWise advice that she could do better now if she were single, her next step is to seek an an- 11lilment of marriage on the grounds Of her extreme youth. There are some Judges who listen with pity to such a wife'g story. But there has been one found in New York who will not toll crate playing fast and loose with the marriage tie. Such a judge recently scored dozen points In his favor when he decided: At sixteen a young woman is pretty mature, even in our own climate. I am not inclined to give. any young lady under such circumstances a free interpretation of the law that she can bend, with his assistance. the marriage chain until it breaks It IS shrewd1y suspected that the would be divorcee has her eye on some other man and would wrestle herself free from one marriage halter to willingly slip into another marriage nooses'
 wife.s heart should Keep pace with re husbands His heart cannot. grow old and worn while hers keeps the early fire of sweet sixteen.
 Those whowould give the wife the right kind of advice should tell her to search for new, IovabIe qualities in her husband and not magnify his trifles to his diseredit. Whatever Is to be will be. The man who loses a wife tEodugh no fault of hds own is apt to go to his grave broken-hearted. They were married when both were young. and she has never lost her charm for him. They should not part.

 We went. back into Quebec and Joe made over to the bank the amount of their loss as soon as Harris, the man ager. agreed rather against his wilD that no questions should be asked nor action taken.
 The same evening I, not being under the same embargo regarding questions. inquired from Joe how in the world the fair Phedre covered her tracks from the canoe to where Atterson was lying.
 That was simple for an active girl She walked ashore along the paddle, and after her return to the canoe threw water upon the mark it made in the mud Didn't you notice how faint it was2''
 But when she got on shore-how did she hide her trail then?''
 It's not new trick. She took a couple of short logs with her in the canoe. First she'd put one down and step onto it, then she'd put the other one farther up and step onto that Next she'd lift theson behind, and so on. Why did she do that? Well, [ reckon she thought the trick good enough to blind Atterson. If he'd found q wonan's tracks after being robbed he'd have suspected

 Joe laughed sgFhat was the surest thing of the lot and put me wise to it and Phedre at the start. Twisted up in the buckle of the pack She gave Atterson found several strands of splendid black hair She must a caught her hair in the buckles while carrying it.''

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
Worst Outbreak in History Of the
United States

Washington, Nov 4-The worst
outbreak Of foot and mouth disease
ever known in the United States is
the department of agriculture's esti-
mate of the live stock epidemic which
has forced federal quarantine over
six states and threatens Temporal
reduction of the nations food supply.
An emergency appropriation by Con.
gress may be required TO finance the
campaign To suppress the epidemic
Officials said tonight it would be a
week before they could forecast the
extent TO which the food supply would
be affected. Every possible effort will
be made To remove handicaps upon
tho movement OF live stock. The
quarantine does not prevent the ship
ment of stock from unaffected dis
tricts TO slaughter houses within the
quarantine area and there is no EN-.
barge against the shipment of dress
ed meat.
New York and Maryland were ad-
ded to the list of quarantined states
today. A department of agriculture
statement announcing this said:
The list of states now quarantincd
by federal authorities includes New
York. Maryland, Indiana. Michigan,
Illinois and Pennsylvania. In addit-
ion to these restrictions have been
placed upon interstate shipments
from Ohio, although no cases have as
yet been found in that state There
is reason to fear. however, that in
feeted stock may have been sent In
TO Ohio. II this is found not TO have
been the case the embargo will be
