After a warm and sultry day, quiet
shower has brought a refreshing cool
ness and as the Gray family sit out on
their wide, old-fashioned porch this
evening, the air seems laden with the
fragrance of the vines. 1t is surely the
pleasantest season of the day. There is
an enchantment in the exquisite quiet
of the twilight, with the occasional
rustic of the birds as they settle
to rest in the trees or a subdued MUIR

no you ever read biographies?
TIM When you go up to the public
lib library and come back with an
III armful Of books are they I'll fic-
- ton or is there occasionally a
biography among them?
Perhaps you can't see any connection
between the bit of verse have quoted
and those questions. But there is.
For it seems to be that the last two
lines Of that glad refrain typify exactly
what the records of the lives of our
great men and women do for us. They
give us new courage they show us
that weak human beings like ourselves
Handicapped by old sorrow and older
SHINING have still been able to make
something worth while of their lives;
they help us also to take heart with
the day and begin again.
And lest that sounds too serious to
attract yyou, let me also add that truth
often really is stranger than fiction and
that many of those biographies are filled
with love stories, adventures and com
plications quite as interesting as any
you will find in your novel or your
ma gazine.
What particular biography you will
want to read depends Of course on your
interests in life. OF course YOU will
want to read the life of your faVorite
hero or heroine if you have not already
done so. Then it will give you new
understanding and appreciation OF
their books If you read the lives oil
your favorite authors. And whatever
your line of endeavor may be, whether
you are serving the world as an artist
a hone-maker, a. business man.

THE EVENING CHIT-CHAT

Every day is a fresh beginning,
Every morn is the world made new
You who are weary of sorrow and sin
ming,
Here is a beautiful hope for you,
A hope for me and a hope for you.
Every day is a fresh beginning;
Listen my soul to the glad refrain,
And spite of old sorrow, and older sin
ming,
And puzzles forecasted and possible
pain,
Take heart with the day and begin
anew"

COMMON LAW MARRIAGE.

Peter Berg of this city has the dis
tinction of being the first man to ig-
more the eugenic test law and he is
the first Chippewa county man to
take bride under the common law
that is by simple written agreement.
At 2:30 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Berg and Miss Bertha Rhoades
sat in the private Office of Attorney
w. II. Stafford and were made man
and wife in this way. There was no
ceremony and the customary two
witnesses were required to affix their
names upon the agreement along
with those of the bride, the groom
and attorney. A notary public seal
completed the transaction and the
bride and groom left the attorneys
office each with agreement that they
were to be man and wife so long as
they cared to and when they become
tired of double life, well, it is sup
posed that all they will have to do is
to tear the papers up into small
pieces and go it alone. The supreme
court has ruled that that kind of
marriage is legal and several have
taken place in the state since eugenic
law went into effect on Jan. l, but
this one is the first to occur in Chip
