The Thirteenth Commandment.

Rupert Hughes brought the char
acters in his latest novel to New York
in order to give them a hectic setting
in which to break 1.-The Thirteenth
Commandment" But this command
ment-thou shalt not spend more
than thou earnst-Mr. Hughes is the
author thereof, is broken for the rea-
son that a Chicago youth said he
broke it, in nearly every good-sized
town in the United States every day
in the year. This youth told the
court before whom he was brought
charged with paying for the furnish
ings of an expensive fat with money
from his employers till that 1--WE
wanted to begin where her father and
my father left off,"
1t is natural for young couple to
wish to start in life in the style to
which they have been accustomed by
their respective parents. It is also a
very laudable ambition to live on the
level to which father has raised him
self in an effort as long and arduous
as most newly married men are old.
But most newly married couples have
not the means to do this without dis
Obeying Mr.. Hughes commandment.
And the results of the shattering of
this rule of life which come to the
public notice usually bring one of the
young couple in Jail or both of them
into the divorce court.
There is sure to be unhappiness in
a home where the expenditures are
larger that the receipts. Dollars do
not stretch and the attempt tU make
both ends meet in this fashion puts a
strain on both that is sure to land in
some kind of disaster. Two cannot
live on the income of the average
young man without both sacrificing
some of the things which hitherto
they have permitted themselves. On
the one hand we have unhappiness
that is certain if expenditures are not
curtailed and on the other we have
an assurance of happiness if some
sacrifices are made.
If marriage is not worth sacrificing
for it is not worthy of our best hopes.
If the compensations of welded life
do not more than balance few pleas
ures or supposed friends or cherished
habits then matrimony is not an ad-
venture upon which any man or
woman is justified in beginning.
Youth cannot expect to begin where |
age ends though there are some so |
fortunate that this is possible for
them. At the most, youth can ex-
pect to start with a handicap in it's
favor compared with the start of age
1t is false pride in most young peo-
pie that impels them to start married
life with splash. The nipples soon
pass away and both are left with bills
which they cannot pay as a result
True friends are interested in a young
couples happiness. not in. the expen-
sive furnishings Of their home. Mar

Battles it's beauty in perfume;
When the birds are sweetly singing
BY the door and on the wing.
1 shall think of you who always
Used to pause and hear them sing.
Long will seem the waning hours
Through the drowsy summer day,
With my boy exposed to dangers
On a soil far, far away.
But my spirit shall not murmur,
Though a tear bedims my view,-
Go, my boy, where duty calls you,
And my heart shall follow you.
You will come and see your mother,
Come and kiss her as you say;
From her lips receive the blessing
That shall cheer you on, your way.
From her fond embrace go forward
To resist your country's foe
With the comforting assurance
That your mother bade you go.
Heaven protect and heaven bless you,
Holy angels guard your way,
Keep your spirit from temptation,
And your feet from going astray.
To your mother ever faithful,
To your country ever true,
Go, my boy, where duty calls you,
And my heart shall follow you.
1 received this beautiful poem July

the last survivor. She was married

NEW CASE AT ESSEX CENTER
TwO-Year-Old Child Has Infantile
Paralysis, Doctors Report.


Paralysis, Doctors Report.
Burlington, Sept. 25.-The second
case of poliomyelitis to appear this
year in Chittenden county is that of
Orvis, the two-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Loyal Remington. The case
was. discovered at Essex Center Sat
urday, and is the one which has ap-
peared in closest proximity to this
city. Although laboratory tests were
not completed by physicians of the
state board of health yesterday,
Doctors Ladd and Taylor. who have
seen the infant who is suffering with
the disease are of the opinion that it
is a plain case of infantile paralysis.
The child lives with his parents at
the home of his grandparents, Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Nichols, in Essex
Center. He was first noticed to be
i'll on Friday, but he may have been
i'll a day or two before. DR.. M. w.
Hunter of Essex Junction was called
on Saturday and the case was re-
ported to Dr. C. F. Dalton, secretary
of the board of health, as a case of
poliomyelitis. DR.. Ladd saw the
child Saturday afternoon and DR..
Taylor of the research laboratory at
the college of medicine visited the
patient yesterday afternoon. Paral-
ysis of the muscles has not yet show
ed on the child, the case being more
one of weakness. The house, in
which a boy of 10 years of age also
lives, has been put under strict
quarantine.
The origin of the cause has not yet
been traced. So far as has been as
certained by the laboratory physic-
ians no definite history of contact
has been found. People from Essex
Center have been to Underhill and
there is the very remote possibility
that the disease may have been
brought to the child in that manner.
