A YOUNG man of my acquaintance
~ is engaged to be married to a
young woman. The only rift in
the lutte is caused by the lack of money.
The young man is earning at the
present time only a $1,000 a year OBJ
voiusly they can't marry on that with
out taking undue chances at having
the wolf at the door for a Wathdog.
The young woman, however, is a
business girl, and she also gets $1,000
year for salary, and she and the
young man, being practical, modern
young people, see no reason on earth
Why they shouldn't get married. and
she keep on with her job, thus doubling
the family income, and enabling them
70 live in comfort until such time as
the man is able to make enough for the
Two of them.
The obstacle in carrying out this
plan Is the girls father, who IS hor-
rltIed at the thought of his daughter
following a gainful occupation after
she is married, and who says that a
man should have sufficient pride to
keep her in her own home.
So the little heart tragedy goes on
The young people, who dearly love
each other, can't get married because
the young man can't command big
enough salary to feed and clothe two
people.
The girl goes on working. but she
IS not permitted to buy her happiness
with her money, and all because Of a
silly old convention that binds US and
letters our freedom, and from which
We ought to have enough courage to
break away
Father Wrong; These Are Not Tests
of Love.
The father, in this case, says that
the young man should have enough at
1ect1on for his wife and pride In her
to keep her in his own little home, but
what a man can do for his wife ism
always matter of affection and pride.
other man in love, would like TO De
able to give his bride palace to live
in, and jewels to adOrn herself, and au-
tomObiles to ride about in.
THESE things are no test OF love The
poor man can love, and generally does
love thousand times more unSeIIlsh-
" than the millionaire.
Are YOU going to say to him that ne
mustn't love a woman, or think ABOUT
marrying her until he can give his
wife the things that rich people nave
If he waits to marry until he IS apIe
TO comfortably provide for a family ne
has got to be an old bachelor who IS
too selfish to marry at all or who is so
full Of whims, and crotchets, and
cranlSs that no woman wants him.
This is hard on the girls, and IL IS
hard for pOsterity and society in gem
eral for the time that people ought
to marry is in the spring time OF lie,
when they are full of hope, and enthu-
Slasm, and romance, and adaptaDluly.

they must wait through dreary years

Post-Office Buildings
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author Of cat Good Old sivash.v

n NE of the favorite diversions of
this government Is to erect most
office buildings. Many hundreds
OF edifices have been begun in the LAST
half century and almost all of them q 70
not complete.
Postoffice buildings are almost all
magnificent affairs, but this cannot al
ways be discovered by looking at them
One should look at the appropriation
to make sure. An appropriation of
100000 for a pOstOffice buildin0 is a
sublime and splendid thing. but the
building itself is usually neat. uncom-
modious and designed in a way to give
an architect queer ana almost unbear-
able pains.
Two hundred thousand dollars will
build 10 story skYscrapeT for a private
citizen But when spent for DostOffice
buildings it viii OnIy build a modest
coop, for which $4,000 more must he
appropriated in order to add front steps
and a door knob.
The reader must not infer from these
remarks that the government is swindled
by dishonest contractors. This is far
from being the case. The government
is merely particular. It loves to build
massive granite cellars and cut stone
stairs and it is never happy except when
paying the highest possible price. If
the government were to build a doc
house for the postmaster general. If
would first select a site as far as pos
sible from the dogs haunts and would
then erect a magnificent gothic struc-
ture 10 feet square at a cost of $50. 900

til another appropriation could be main
tanned
The governments greatest feat in
pOstOffice building so far was the Chi
cagO postoffice. This splendid structure

VARlc0SE VEINS.
Their Causes and Effects and The
Treatment They Require.

A varicose vein is in enlarged and
twisted vein, generally in the leg. 1t is
caused by stagnation of the blood.
Often the patient has hereditary pre-
disposition to varlcOse veins or he has
a weak heart. with consequent tend
ency to sluggish veuous circulation.
Anything that intwferes with the
dow of blood through the veins may
bring on an attack. Pressure from Il
tight garter and very severe muscular
exerton are often exciting causes. Per-
sons who are Obliged to stand for sew
eral hours at time. like policemen,
washerwOinen and saleswOmen, are of.
ten subject to this trouble. Under or
binary conditions the blood in the legs
must ran up hill constantly IN order to
regain the heart. IN the case of those
who stand most of the day the blood
has to work hard hour after hour in
order TO overcome the force of gravity.
and as a result the veins gradually en-
large and harden.
In mild cases of varicose veins. cspe-
cialiy i'm young and otherwise healthy
people. the symptoms are very slight.
There is feeling Of weight in the leg
and a dull ache toward the end of the
day The ache is soon relieved by the
patients resting with the leg somewhat
raised so that the blood can flow back
more easily. Sometimes painful cramps
complicate the trouble, and the cramp
is likely to return again and again until
life becomes Il burden.
More serious complications are throm-
bosis Tor the CLOTHING Of the blood in
the VEIN and phlebitis Tor inflamma-
ton of vein. Often Il form of &C.
zema appears in the skin of the leg, or
an ulcer may arise. When varicose
veins are very troublesome surgical
treatment is advisable, but the milder
cases can he much relieved by rest and
proper bandaging.-Y Youths Companion.

On Raw Material Only.

Our competitors across the water
are on equal terms with US on raw
material, but that is all. From the
ground up TO delivery OF cloth they
have big advantage. Construction
costs are not much mere than one
half as much as in this country.
Why? Because the bricklayers over
there do not receive 70 cents am hour
and have a social secretary. financial
assistant and several helpers furnish
ed them. The carpenters are not
being paid 50 cents an hour and the
plumbers do not get 60 cents an hour
with one or two assistants for each
first-cl workman. The foreign wage
for mill construction is not one-half
that paid in America. Mil opera
tors are paid about one-half the Amer
lean wage, and boys and girls start
