No pastime Is more agreeable than
that Of reviewing with pride our own

more ENORMOUSLY than Josephus Dan
iels, secretary Of the navy. The COM

INDUCING his penchant, and It Is really
a pity II anybody is so evil minded as
connection with his recent campaign
against a critical subordinate.
Speaking of the North sea barrage,
by which America successfully stopped
the ocean to German submarines, the
secretary declared the idea "a great
and original conception" which gave
our navy the honor of contributing the
outstanding offensive against the sub
marine menace" Naval experts looked
upon the American proposal with indif
ference and skepticism, and for the

With this data in hand It is easy
enough to pick out the right girl IN
stead of one who will keep man Won
dering to his dying day what made
when he led the lady to the altar.
"Know myself is never such a good
slogan as when man is choosing life
partner. for the trouble with most I'M
happy marriages is merely that they
are misfit marriages. The wife who
drives one man to drink would have
lifted another into the seventh heaven
of connubal bliss. She who rasps the
nerves of one husband at every turn
would make a soothing and congenial
companion to another.
And these uncongenlal marriages are
more the mems fault than the wom-
ems, for men do the picking and chos-
ing, and it is their poor judgment and
lack of knowledge of what they need
and what will suit them in the wife
line that keeps Reno on the map, and
the divorce court busy.
Therefore, son, when you think about
marriage don't waste any time worry
ing over the girl. Worry over yourself
a little. Consider your own character,
disposition, finances, ambitions ana
prospects and let this knowledge be a
lamp to your feet when you go a-woo-
ing.
Suppose, for instance, you are of a
nervous, irritable disposition with
temper IIldL Is nuHB OIL Il Hall lllSBci
and liable to go off at any moment.
Can't you see that matrimony for you
will be nothing but a dark and bloody
battle-ground If you marry some beau
tiful slender crature with thin lip, and
quivering nostrils, and lovely auburn
hair?-
Whereas it will be one grand sweet
song if you have gumption enough to
pick out for a wife some plump, placid
maiden with oXlike eyes and nice,
fat laugh.
Woman for woman, the two girls may
be equally models of all the virtues but
the high strung one will keep you al
ways up to concert pitch, while the
good nature of the other will poultiCe
your sore nerves and sOOthe them, and
you, With one you will live scrappily.
With the other happily, for there is not
room but for ono set of nerves, and one
case Of dyspepsia in any house.
Suppose when you look into your own
soul you admit to yourself that while
you are not in the least vain, or ego
tistic, still you can not deny that you
are a man of most unsual intellect, and
of a judgment as profound that it is
entitled to respect on every occasion.
VIII you find happiness if you marry
some opnionated young person who
is firmly convinced that she is the latest
