OF course family life is the happiest
life. II must be so because we've
been told 1t for thousands of years
and most people believe in the theory
enough to put it into practical eXecu-
ton, but there are times and seasons
when the married have their suspi-
cions that the holy estate has been
over touted. Then it is that the mar
ried man feels toward the bachelor
as the poor man feels toward Rookie
feller and Carnegie.
He is filled with wonder and envy
that some other man should have been
so much cleverer, so much more far
sighted and had SO much better luck
than he had. Then it is he becomes
anarchistc and wants to despoil the
bachelor of his wealth.

often enjoys such loneliness that he

Eliene and Harry came over the

Eliene is looking better and younger

The election is next Tuesday and, of

said, land I tell you wish 1t were all

brightly and said: Harry thinks he

would; he would do it even If he
failed"

that you have called the other man."
"And then some," interrupted Harry.
We did Isot mention the old scandal
and after a while Eliene and I went to
the other room and left the two men
to chat and smoke.
Tell me about Mollie," I said.
"Oh! Margie. in all my life have
never seen anything so sad," said
Eliene in trembling voice.

Nothing" she answered. land when

her smile, but, oh! Margie, that smile

my baby this way than not at all.

Margie, she looks years older than

Chad is rich enough to give that child
every comfort and luxury that money
can buy. Already Mollie Is planning
to have a splendid home and school
for blind children built near DR..
Virot's hospital. Chad will not talk
about It as yet, for he insists at times
that all blind babies should be killed
at birth. You see, he Is almost insane.
He has not looked upon his child since
he knew it was blind. Margie, can't

Washington, May 17.-Iowa has been
allotted two regiments Of national

a second and is seeking 10 organize a
third. The war department is ready

the new Davenport battery would be

units. However. under decision Of

conflict against Germany with the

fields for the British army and are
ready 10 turn them out for the United
States in large quantities Immediately
The most important feature OF the
governments determine alton is that the
new rifles will be equipped for Ameri-
can instead Of British ammunition
which will be interchangeable and car
