insurance, she quoted "'but widows never.
No. don't mean to be unkind. for it's really
often a generous spirit that prompts them. A
wife so often wants her husband to enjoy the
money when he's living rather than economic

MARRIAGE.

ccording to the New York Board Of Education)
Dedicated to Mrs. Eifz abeth Eidredge.
Oh, the tragedy, the pity!
Oh, the things that women do!
There's a rurnor in the city,
But we hope it isn't true,
There's a scandal has been carried,
And the clubs are whispering
That teacher has been married.
Isn't that shocking thing!
Marriage in our estimation
For a man is not crime,
And the Board of Education
Will not dock his pay or time;
But woman is lily,
Marriage is not in her line;
For an act so weak and silly
We must ask her to resign.

a persistent and valuable booster
of Florida, and he talked Florida

He was an old and valued

He had other friends, too, in this
