finds himself on a higher balcony,

another siesta. Exploring still
further, he finds another open

no balcony, and plunges to his
death. Absurd, you say-yes.
But true of many people in real

A certain music master had in
his choir a promoter. He in

about three hundred dollars in a

The music master doubled his
money in three months and was
delighted with the new way of
getting rich quick. The fly had
found a cozy balcony and liked it.
Along came another proposition

even bigger returns, but entailed
more money. He was leading

The music master consulted his

man; but the little lily knew

An exchange remarks that if
the women do not show better
judgement in the selection of
candidates for office than some Of
them do in their choice of hus-
bands, there will be little inn
provement in public affairs by
giving them the ballot. The
editor who makes this comment
fails to take into consideration
that the women are handicapped
i'm their choice of husbands by
the fact that they must marry
mere men, or not at all, and it
is very fortunate for a lot of us
fellows that they do not judge
too critically in making their
selection. Nature has provided
about as many of one sex as of the
other, and when the really choice
material for husbands or wives
is exhausted somebody has to
take what is left or go minated,
Fortunately for men, the percent
age of undesirable material in
the other sex is very, very small,
which explains why lot of us
cheap skates have wives a lot
better than we deserve. .-Ex.

FOR UNMARRIED WIVES.
by Associated PreSS.I

London Feb. 16.-The question of
aiding financially the unmarried wives
of soldiers was taken Up and decided
favorably by vote of three to one at
general meeting of the Soldiers and
Sailors Families Association held here.
This form of Illicit union is encouraged
indirectly by army regulations against
marrying, and there are 1850 of the
$4,000 families enrolled in the books
of the society. Aid is to be given,
however, only where a real home is
maintained by the woman. To help
these unfortunates is not in view OF
the majority of the committee mem.
bers of the licensing of the vice, as
asserted by the majority.
Speaking on the measure, Lord ST.
Andres said:
. "As an old soldier, L deny the gross
insult that soldiers are more immor ii
than men of the same class in other
walks of life If the soldier has not
gone through the form OF marriage, II
is the fault Of the people of this coun.
try, who for hundred years have
discouraged soldiers from marrying
while serving because the separation
