er WedIOck By some strange law VI
nature, the brainy, energetic, pushlng
young fellow usually chooses a -quleI,
modest. unobtrusive girl for his wife,
one who will be content to shine in a
reflected light, proud of his abilities
and achievements, one to whom his
will is law.
If they commence their welded life
in poverty, the young wife is not only
willing, but glad, to put forth all her
energies within the four walls of home
so that it will be pleasing abode for
the man she loves. They make great
plans for the future-that is, he does
all the thinking, planning and talking,
while she does the listening and adj
miring. The ambitious young man
soon evinces longing to rise in the
world, make fame, fortune and wealth.
All his plans cali for money and the
only way they can acquire it is for
the wife to pinch the pennies, save,
grind and save.
This she does gladly, uncomplain-
ingly. He advances steadily from one
position to another, but he does not
talk over his plans with her any more.
"You would not understand. What
does a woman plodding amid pots and
pans know of the world to which l
now belong? You cook a good din
ner-a corking one-why bother your
head over anything else?
He does not inform her or the finan-
L do Of
Iarity among men and women of the
social world. The higher he has
climbed on the social ladder, the
farther he is from the plain, uncom-
planning little woman he married in
other days. With the gain of wealth
and position. life holds many allure
ments. Sweet is the clink of gold and
sweet the siren song of pleasure.
Men think that the wives who have
dropped behind are unconscious OF the
fact, but they are not. There are
wives who grieve over it until the JOY
Of living has died out of their hearts.
Many have the remembrance of a
plodding lover who laid his humble
heart at their feet in early youth. Had
choosing the Overambitious young
man turned out wisest and best after
all? 1t takes love-that life elixir-an
endearing word, the knowledge that
she is appreciated, is first in her hus-
bands heart and thoughts, to keep
a wife keyed up to genuine happiness
and content.
The joy of welded life is over for
the wife whose eyes have been opened
to the fact that she is no longer COM
panionable to husband. There is a
little core of romance in every wom-
ans heart. She never outlives it or
allows it to wither if 1t is in her pow
er to preserve it. o We husbands!
Many of you make future remorse
for yourselves by letting go the hand
you held so proudly at the altar and
allowing her to drop behind. Never
let the time come when you look back
at your marriage with her as mis-
take. You can make welded life a
blessing or a curse to the woman who
has intrusted her life happiness to
you. Hold her so close to your heart
she cannot drop behind.

Why Give II AWay2

1t is apparent that Kipling was never
overexalted by the popular craze over
him, or that he took it too seriously. A
story has been related to the point by
Brander Matthew's: "Once when | was
chatting with Rudyard Kipling about
the principles of literary art, | CHANGED
to tell him that I had pointed out to
class of college students the various
masters of story telling on whose foot
steps he had trod, and by whose exam
pies he had obviously protited. he
smiled pleasantly and drawled out;
WHY give it away? Why not let them
think 1t was just genius"

RAJAH

(OOpyTlSuls 1910. ny w. " SHdpLuaA'I
Almost everybody knows the story
of Rajah, the untamable elephant of
from India in 1859, soon after the In
dian mutiny. He had belonged to a
native king, who had rebelled against
the English, and somehow the Dublin
zoo got hold of him. From Dublin re-
passed to Hamburg, there, being I'M
tractable and having killed his keep.
er, he was sold to an American cir
Gus. He passed from one hand to an
other, and his history was as bloody
as his masters.
In 1916, when the SHOWS were melt
ing, the manager of Bowdler's decided
that he would have to be killed. How
ever, he was bought by the zoo of a
certain eastern city 1t was a sight
to see the crowds watching the
chained monster as he glared vicious
ly about him out of his little eyes and
swung his trunk threateningly.
Little Jane Holt, spinster of sixty,
in reduced circumstances, timidly Of
fered Rajah a piece of her pound cake.
Rajah reached out his trunk, took the
morsel and dashed at the giver.
Naughty boy!" said Miss Holt.
Naughty boy!"
Rajah looked at her in amazement.
Then the trunk went out once more,
and received another morsel. And
this time there was no comeback.
Rajah had found friend.
Miss Holt soon became a feature of
the zoo. Rajah watched for her and
showed his pleasure when she arrived.
Once she came when he was on the
point of killing his keeper. Her pres
ence at once Gained him. The ZOO
sent Miss Holt :. letter of thanks.
Then came the day when Rajah was
sentenced to death. Miss Holt heard
of it. She went to the zoo manager,

CASES OF HAsTY MARRIAGES.

Their dream was past; it had no future
change.
1t was of strange order that the doom
OF these two creatures should be thus
traced out
To end in madness-both in misery.
For two who are utter strangers to
meet, admire and fancy they are in
tenseIy in love with each other at the
end Of a fortnight is the most foolish
of all follies-unless it be a hasty be-
trothal followed by marriage. To be
sure, they are forewarned that there
may be trouble ahead, for they are
obliged to promise the parson that
they will take each other for better or
for worse. With the knot securely
tied, they turn their back upon the
past, eagerly looking toward the fu-
ture with the expectation of living hap
PLY ever after.
Il takes the close companionship of
marriage for a man and woman to
know each other as they really are.
The man or woman with a quick, un-
reasonable temper cannot hope to con-
ceal it for long, Marriage does not
carry with it a guaranty that it is
a preventive against marital sparring
by angry words. There is nothing
more cruel than for bride and groom
to discover that their marriage was a
mistake; that they are totally insult
ed to each other.
They have not the courage to break
the CALLING bond then and there, and
decide to live it out, making the best
of it. If they can successfully hide
their unhappiness from the world they
are thankful. 1t is either pity or a
blessing if children are born to such

Among the undeveloped resources
of Wyoming are bituminous shale, vol

Queens Carriage.

By the beginning Of the seventeenth
century the use OF carriages and
coaches had become so prevalent in
England that in 1901 the attention OF
parliament was drawn to the subject,
and a bill ito restrain the excessive
use of coaches" was introduced, which.
however, was rejected on it's second
reading. In the early part of the cen
fury it was estimated that there were
5000 in London and its vicinity.
