a CORRESPONDENT k
~ these questions;
why should a man or
woman go over all the reasons
why he or she should not love
someone, and all the equally forci-
BILE reasons why some other one
who would be best and wisest for
him or her to marry while he or
she knows that he or she loves
and wants the undesirable party?
In short, why should men and
women in love be like one who
fips a coin to decide a question,
and when it comes down heads
abides by the tail decision, any
how? Is this subtle thing we call
Intuition, or the sixth sense,
better guide in love than our
coarse, and by no means infalii-
bic. reason?'
A general blanket reply to
these queries is that men and
women love by instinct, and not
bv rule. There is a mysterious
attraction of the individual, just
as there is an attraction between
the sexes, that nobody can ex-
plain.
The wisest and most learned
scientists can not tell us why a
man picks some one particular
woman out Of all the other wom-
en- to be his mate, nor why a
woman gets up and follows some
one man to the ends of the world.
Nor do the man and woman
know themselves. The wife and
husband a man and woman have
chosen may be inferior in every
way to hundreds Of other men
and women with whom they were
associated daily The world may
wonder at their selection, but to
the man and the woman there
were only one other man and
woman in the world.
1t is part of the tragedy OF love
that the head and the heart do
not always approve Of the same
person, and that the one who
fires our fancy seldom comes up
to our ideal.
Thus man, before he is hard
hit by Cupid's dart. will tell you
that the woman he marries must
be intelligent, industrious, thrifty,
domestic not given TO fashion or
folly. and he will hold up his
hands in horror over the very
idea of a man choosing for
life's mate a giddy little thing
who is as pretty and as useless as
a painted butterfly
Nevertheless. here comes along
the little butterfly and the next
thing we know the sensible man
IS breaking his neck chasing aft

model husband besides. asks her
to marry him. She should by all
the laws of reason bless all Of her
gods for her luck and fall upon
his neck with devotion; but. alasl
her Grant heart has gone it's own
way and bestowed itself upon
some youth without a penny to
bless himself with, and who is
wild and wayward and nothing
that her sober judgment com
mends. To marry him will plunge
her deeper into the slough of pow
erty than ever, and yet he is the
one that her very soul cries out
for.
Nobody can explain these
things, and nobody can suggest a
remedy, for when the head and
the heart espouse different sides
in matrmony there is happiness
in following the lead of neither.
The marriage of reason where a
man marries woman because
she is suitable, or woman mar
ries man because he can give
her a fine establishment, is a
cold-blooded affair that has no
more thrills in it than a jelly
fish, and that pals on ones ap-
petite like a dinner Of health
foods A woman may have all
the virtues under the sun, but un-
less there is something in her
that quickens a mans blood and
makes his throat get little tight
when he thinks about her. she
will become the WEAKNESS of
death to him. A man may be a
very paragon Of perfection, but
unless every time she looks at him
a woman sees him through a rosy
mist OF romance the bondage of
her wifehood TO him becomes iron
fstters on her that clank in her
ears as she moves.
Nor is there any way to change
this. n men and women are not
IN love with each other before
marriage they do not fall in love
with each other after marriage.
for matrimony is not a promoter
Of romantic sentiments. It Is the
fell destroyer OF Illusions. when
both husband and wife inevitably
see each other in their worst
lights.

viii Not Get Free Vacations

Conductors and trainmen in the pass
enger service of the Pennsylvania Rail
road system will get no vacations at full
pay this summer. The management has
cut off such vacations, which it regarded
as g~ratuties to the men.
For this, several reasons are given.
First of all, under the award last fall
with regard to wages and working CON
ditions of trainmen, the company was
required to do a number OF things which
the management felt to be unreasonable
and ~burdensome.
1t was then stated that the vacations
with pay, which not all railroads had
been allowing, would be discontinued on
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Another reason is to cut down present
expenses. Yet another given is that the
company has encountered such persis-
tent demand from the labor unions for
equalized conditions OF service that tile
vacations are ended because they were
not given III all branches of the service
nor by all companies.
Now, that the usual vacation time is at
hand the conductors ara having their
applications turned down. They do not
like it. But they are given no choice, at
least on the Pennsylvania system.

Plenty Of King Crabs.

King crab fishermen have been having
unusually good luck in catching these
huge crustacaens during the past few weeks
IN Delaware Bay. At the plant of the Mil
ford Fish Oil and Fertilizer Co., at the
mouth of the Mispillion river, from IL, 600
to $4,000 king crabs have been delivered
each day for several weeks.
The crabs are put i'll a steaining house
where they are dried and then ground
into fertilizer, which makes a material
rich in heterogeneous matter.
The catch of Menhaden fish has been
good IN the bay this year, but the rush
OF that hshlng season does not commence
until about the first of August.
