of large corporations, a hundred or
more, asking were married or single
men more valuable to them in their
work. and the reason for their choice.
These courteous replies would make
history. Opinions and reasons varied.
On the whole, the preference seemed
to be that the love of wife, home and
family spurred a man on to take deep
er interest in his work
The single man, were he ever so
good a workman, more often than not
formed the wanderlust habit. Not
from dissatisfaction over his tasks, but
because he had restless, unsatisfed
beart in his bosom: longed for a
change of scene and to form new,
friendships.
These opinions confirmed my belief
on the subject. There is no line on
work which man can engage in but
that the companionship of wife iS
help rather than drawback. 1t Isl
true that the inventor can achieve
more by not being interrupted. But
encouragement often takes the places
of enthusiasm if there is not an anx7
ious, loving heart, a wife to watch
and applaud his daily strivings. NO
matter how competent may be the
man who is alone in the world, the
knowledge that there Is no one who
cares, that he has no one to work for,
robs him of the best to labor against
all odds.
The same idea holds good through
all branches of mans work, brain work
or that which is wrought by his hands.
Bachelors have been known to build
up great enterprises, writing shining
name upon the worlds tablet of bene-
factors. In this instance the love OF
mother and sisters has usually shaped
their course. But where one bachelor
has made good, Independent of love to
spur him on, the success of his bust
ness may die with him for want OF
family ties of noble sons to take up
the reins of his life work when he
drops them.
The married man at the head of a
concern seems to tacitly insure his
employees permanency in their posi-
tons. Let no man say that he intends
to make raise before marrying and
settling down. He can make that
raise twice as quickly with wife to
cheer and aid him.
Quite as soon as a young man feels
he is earning q sufficient salary to
support two, be It ever so humble, he
should look about for wife. He may
have aged parents to support, but they
would gladly welcome one heart more
into the fold. Love glorifies mans
work.. Coming home to wife gives
him something to look forward to. By
all means, young man, marry. Your
wife is your best critic; your helper
if the way is rough and your solace in
need.

SAVED TRAIN BY SAFETY PIN
New-Fanoled Gown Caused Something
Of Confusion at New York
Dance.

One of those new-fangled trains be-
came unswitched at recent dance at
the Claridge, according to the New York
Times, and when the owner discovered
her loss she and the man at the hotel
desk had lot of trouble. It seems
that the new train is made SO that It
can be worn or not worn, just as the
owner of the freak to which it belongs
fancies. When her friends expressed
their admiration of Mrs. Camille Roe's
new frock, all went merry as a mar
riage bell until one of these friends
became so enthusiastic over the way
Mrs. Roe managed her new train that
the latter drew out of the dance to
explain.
"You see, it is like this she began,
catching at her skirt. She caught In
vain. There was nothing but the skirt.
The train had left the station. After
a hurried search about the room, Mrs.
Roe went out to see If the train had
arrived at the desk.

CHAPTER XIII.

Tamarack Spicer sat on the top of
a box car, swinging his legs over the
side He was clad in overalls, and in
the pockets of his breeches reposed
q bullying flask Of red liquor, and an
unbulging pay envelope. Tamarack
had been "railroading" for several
months this time. He had made a

Back beyond, the hills were impene-

Old Spicer South would ten years

doubts for his recovery. With his

and Samson renegade, they had no
adequate leader. McCager was a solid
man of intrepid courage and honesty,
but grinding grist was his vocation,
not strategy and tactics. The enemy
had such masters of intrigue as Purvy
and Judge HOLMAN.

each OF them the state had another.
II Spicer would surrender, the officer
would guarantee him personal protec-
ton, and, If 1t seemed necessary, q
change of venue would secure him

clan deliberated. For the soldiers they
felt no enmity. For the young cap

He was man.
Old Spicer South, restored to an
echo Of his former robustness by the
call Of action, gave the clans verdict.
"Hit hain't the cote we're skeered
of. Eff this boy goes ter town he
won't never git into no cote. He'll be
murdered"
The officer held out his hand.
"As man 70 man." he said, II pledge

him except by process Of law. I'm not

For a space old South looked into
the soldiers eyes and the soldier
looked back.
"I'll take yore handshake on tibet

ly. "Tam'rack," he added, in q voice
of fnality, we've got ter CO."
The officer had meant what he said.
He marched his prisoner into Hixon
at the center of hollow square, with
muskets at the ready. And yet, as the
boy passed into the courthouse yard,
with soldier rubbing elbows on each
side, a clearly aimed shot sounded
from somewhere. The smokeless pow

and army hats circling him. Tamarack
fell and died.

The Hollmans had used the soldiers
as far as they wished; they had made

swear out additional warrants.

WHAT BRIDEeRooMs PROVIDE.

Bright prospects please me as none other
fancies,
Really mine The charms in after years,
Dearer for its glow and precious gladness
And sweeter for it's hint of falling tears.
High as heaven, pure as morning dew,
Oh, fair, first love, thy memory hallows,
The dream that last came true.
Why do girls look at their hand
some bridegrooms-tobe and notice
with sigh that they are not as good
looking as the day draws near, when
they are to marry as they were
short time ago? All that they do, their
promises and gallant attentions are
every bit as lovely toward them as in
that never-to-be-forgotten hour Of be.

year in and year out. All of the many
calls upon them have been cordially
answered. Good wishes have been ap-
preciated and accepted. They seemed
to have lived in different world all
their own.
What seems to be engrossing her
lovers attention every spare moment
in which he found himself alone? she
queries, with some little foreboding.
She wanders out among the spring
flowers that are soon to deck her in
bridal wreath Out in the open dear
girlhood chum had come. She stood
beside her clasping her arms around
the slim waist. looking into the sweet
face which wore little frown.
What! a frown and a sigh" she
said, holding up finger warningly.
''You should be brimful of joy Your
wedding day is not far off, lucky girl"
There are no sweeter words. OF
solemn and rapturous meaning that
touch the heart of the single more
keenly than those which foretell Of
an approaching marriage where two
love each other fondly. The bride
soon-to-be looks enchantedly at the
glittering ring on her finger that he
had placed there with his VOW OF un-
dying affection for her.
Then came the arranging for the
wedding. Both were suited as the
details were gone into. Just as she
liked had been his view, while he
added, Il don't expect ever to marry
but once" When he parted from his
tiancee he sat up in his room until late
at night reckoning and providing for
what his paying out required. 1t was
as follows Bridegroom must procure
his own conveyance to ride to the
place of ceremony and for best man
to accompany him. He provides the
clergyman's conveyance, gets the Ii
cense and pays the fee, according to
what his purse allows. Bridegroom
can, if he chooses, provide flowers for
bridesmaids and maid Of honor. He
always sends the bridal bouquet. 1t is
usual to give his best man and the
ushers gifts, scarf pins or cuff links.
His same conveyance is used for the
bride and groom upon their leaving
the church. His only recompense was
in the words in which he told her
afterward, Il am glad that you were
pleased, darling! / am rejoicing in
your sentiment Chat you know / did
my part WELL"
