TIRING OF EACH OTHER.

I was 80 tired Of Jack. poor boy,
And Jack was tired Of me;
Most longed-for sweets will soonest cloy;
Fate had been kind-and we,
Two foolish spendthrift hearts, made
waste
OF life's gifts with eager haste,
We clanked our marriage chains and
pinned
For freedom we had left behind.
Turning from the altar, husband and
wife, does not always presage happi-
moss forever after, despite the general
belief of single folks to the contrary.
Good writer's warn men and maids
that they should study each other
carefully before the tying of the knot
which becomes strained and tangled il

But how can a woman, young and
unsophisticated, know what is in
mans heart, or in his thoughts? He
is sure to show the best part Of his
nature to his dearie in his counting
days. Even his temper is held care

Ere the honeymoon has scarcely be-
gun, the mask has slipped just a triie
from each face and heart. The one

and she really are. There are few
couples who take the situation philo-
sophically and good naturally strive to
overcome difficulties. More couples
give way to their disappointment and
make it the basis for quarrels and bit

Love cannot long withstand such

the whole affair Is that they soon be

is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no

WAITING TILL HE GETS A RAISE

The day wore on, my dear,
And when the noon grew hot,
The drowsy birds forgot to sing,
And you and l

And now our hearts are shelterless.
Our sun Is in the West.
How many young couples who are

which will yield more money to marry
on.
Sometimes these great expectations
are not realized in a hurry. Bust
ness grows worse instead Of better.
| The young mans salary Is cut instead
| Of raised. Marriage hopes are further
off than ever. The young mans ex-
penses are Just as high, room rent,
food and clothing. It's well.nigh i'm
possible to lay by a dollar.
But with love at the helm they sail
on, hoping for better days. If the girl
is rich, her father may come to the
rescue and help out. He will do most
anything to see his daughter settled
and happy. Such a girl believes she
Is safe in taking the chances OF his

the surety which places a roof over
her head and food for an uncertainty.
They both love on through sunny
years and dark one which stretch

wed when fortune smiles upon them.
But they encounter only Dame For
tunes frowns. Thus they fritter away
life and youth.
A man can wed any time and be sure
of a certain amount of happiness and
favorable results. But when a woman
has passed the rubicon of youth her
chances Of wedlock with home and
children therein, grow fewer. While
it is not advisable to say in each case
that It would be better to take time
by the forelock and taste OF her sweet
hess and best fruits while one may
there is much for and against such
decision.
The prudent couple need have ,lidle

better in welded life than in single,
His room can shelter two quite as
easily as it shelters him. While 1t is
not congenial for a married woman
to be advised that she may have to
work after wedlock, yet there are ex'
tenuating circumstances. If she holds
her position for awhile, the combined
salaries OF the two will enable them
to furnish the home nest, be 1t but q
