before an enthusiastic gathering of

the ability Of Colonel Henry w. An

party had settled that in 1902. and
that 1t had been revived by the party
represented by. Colonel Anderson
when the party met in Norfolk sew

knew nothing about II political ma

matters pertaining to the public
schools situation. He showed that.
while the Republican candidate
averred that the State of Virginia
stood forty-third among tho states In

fact, II stood thirty fourth or thirty

which the opposition bases it's dcduc-

as well as outside of Il. Indeed, ii is
even moro dangerous to b lab every
thing you know, and think. and that
you think you think, TO the partner
of your bosom than it Is 10 a rank
stranger. for strangers have not the
same uncanny memories that hUs-
bands and wives have, nor have they
the same opportunities of arising and
casting yoUr communications in. your
teeth.
Many are the men and women who
have been lured by some loquacious
mood into telling 10 the ones TO whom
they are married the unexpurgated
stories of their lives, and who have
never heard the last of it. Perhaps
they told OF some youthful folly. Per-
haps they confessed some wrong, COM
mitted years and years ago, and that
has been repented in sack cloth and
ashes, but. in either case. the indis-
Greet babblers furnished the whip of
scorpions with which they We're fiayed
the balance Of their lives.
There was never a family scrap in
which their skeleton was not brutally
dragged out of the closet in which il
was hidden, and they were made to
live over again the old shame and the
old remorse. Worse still, the man and
woman who told the things that they
should have kept locked in their own
breasts furnished 10 their wives and
husbands unending food for suspic-
ion, and doubt, and jealousy.
The sinners may know that, because
they have once stumbled. they will
forever after watch their step; that
because :hey have been burnt chill
dren they will henceforward keep a
safe distance form the fire. but it
takes a bigger understanding than
the average husband and wife possess
TO enable them TO appreciate this. The
minute they find out that their idols
have feet of clay they jump 10 the
conclusion that all the balance of them
is mud, and their faith is gone IN
them
When people get married each is
entitled TO know that the other brings
over no liabilities that will endanger
the prosperity of the new firm. Be
yond that the slate should be wiped
clean, and new account started, so
when either husband or wife is
tempted to tell the other things that
are done and past, and that cannot be
helped, or remedied, or changed now.
