Uncle Joe Recalls
"OId Counting Days.

"The young fellow of today does
not know what counting means"
declared ex-Speaker Cannon, dis
coursing in Washington on the trials
of counting under the old regime.
"Uncle Joe" always gets an audi
ence, whether in the cloak room, on
the floor of the house or at his favor
tie chang out" the National Press
Club.
"In the old days." continued he, "a
young man would walk 10 miles in
the rain or snow, freeze his ears and
fingers, and face the dangers of Wild
cats to see his girl.
"And when he did see her it was
in the general living room, with the
rest of the family present. The man
who courted in these conditions knew
what counting was. And / may say
that such conditions were the rule
and not the exception.
1.-THE young fellows would start
out Sunday afternoon. 1t might be
too cold or the snow too deep to take
horse, but in that case they went
on foot. They faced hardships to see
their sweethearts as did the knights
of old to rescue fair maids from cas-
ties. And when such a youngster
won his girl he kept her, too.
divorce was not the popular pas
time then, as it is now. Those coup
les stuck through thick and thin,
obeying the Scriptural injunction that
whom God hath joined together no
man shall put asunder.
"There were no marriages of con-
venience and mighty few hasty
unions in those days. The young
folks knew each other before they
were welded, and the young man
knew his brides people and all about
them. There was less chance for
mistakes.
"All the counting was on Sunday
night, and it was ceremony relig-
iously observed. The swain remained
at his sweetheart's home until after
midnight, even though the rest of the
family sat up with him.
when he went home through the
storm or in the bright starlight he
walked the earth as conqueror, for
he had been in the presence that to
him represented the real poem of life.
"He had been counting, and that is
all we need these days to bring back
sane and safe ideas of marriage

of the word; the man seeking, if not
j serving like Jacob, for seven years
for the object Of his affections.
"Then he will stick to her and she
to him through life.
