met with a very painful, not to say
serious accident, Friday afternoon,
when he tried to crank stationary
engine at his parents home near the
railroad crossing on Taylor street
The crank flew loose and struck him
with such force on the left side OF
the nose as to render him senseless
for a moment. 1t made an ugly mole
in his cheek and nose, from which the
blood flowed freely, covering his
front and giving him a shocking ap-
pearance. without assistance ne
walked down town, secured surgical
aid, and is now fast recovering from

Disillusion Il Common.

Establish lecture course to
teach young people what marriage
is, and fully IS per cent of the di-
vorce courts work will be dis
pensed with.
Our young men and women fall in
love, and the experience of that
emotion leads them to believe mar
riage is the gate to life on a bed
of roses. They have no distinct
idea of what marriage means, ex-
cept that, in some magical manner,
ii brings eternal bliss to the con-
tracing parties. When they find
life after marriage is just about
the same as it was before in point
of self-restraint and self-denial.
they are so disillusioned they are
convinced their marriage is a fail
ure.
III a would-be doctor attempted a
surgical operation. n a would be
lawyer undertook to defend client
accused of murder, IL a would be
newspaper man essayed to cover a
political convention, with as little
preparation and training as the
would-be husband and the would
be wife attempt marriage, there
would be no possibility of success.
The analogy holds throughout; ap-
ply II. and you VIII find yourself
wondering not why SO many mar
riages are failures, but why so
many are successful.

Go Back to Her.

Dear Miss Blake: Kindly answer
my question through your wonder
full department of The Herald.
I am a young man not yet 20
years of age. Until I graduated
from high school 1 lived on a farm
in Nebraska. Then 1 came here to
work for the government.
I have a very dear friend who
graduated in my class, but owing
to a little misfortune (for which
neither she nor I was to blame) I
couldn't have very much to do with
her outside of school, and of course
she never knew at that time that
I cared anything for her. We
corresponded regularly since I have
been away and I have sent her sew
eral little presents such as candy.
etc. Some time ago I failed to re-
ceive any letters from her, so after
about six weeks I pocketed my
pride and wrote the second one. An
early reply was received and asked
me not to be angry at her for not
writing. Then, after / had received
two or three letters, the same thing

Frankness the Remedy.

Marriage creates for a man and
woman one of the most difficult sit
uations in the world. Because of it
they are pledged to live together, to
think together, to rear children to-
gether. They are, even pledged to
do something as intangible and in
voluntary as love. one another for
ever; and still they continue to be
actually as much two individuals
as they were before, they were made
one.
An eminent professor of sociology
once said, Either the man or the
woman dominates in every mar
riage. 1t is Inevitable 1t is this
tendency, think, that makes un-
happy marriages. The woman may
dominate by nagging. the man may
dominate by cruelty; or the woman
by too much. sweetness, the man by
too much intellect. So-called equal
marriages are rares IL they exist at
all.
/ believe frankness is the remedy
for most unhappiness in marriage: /:
1t tends to level Inequalities. II the
man and woman are capable of
talking thing out to its end with
out becoming hysterical and emo
tional: ffthey are imaginative
enough to get the viewpoint of the
other, their problems diminish and
little things that have grown in the
silence Of their brains TO great pro-
portions vanish entirely.
j know a husband and wife who
are both frank and imaginative.
The woman can criticize without
nsgging: the man can be inteilec-

he whispered.
You're a real girl! I suppose
you think it's odd that / should
speak to you about this affair or
Harry Roberts But / had a mo-
tiye-a rather selfish motive, / con-
fess."
'Yes?' Jane fenced, wondering
why she did not object to having
his arm about her. 1t seemed spon-
taneous-and just friendly. He con-
tinued:
Il asked Hattie to invite you to
dinner again-after that night at
Clsremont. She told me you wouldn't
care to go. because you were In
love with Harry Roberts. Is that
truer'
The very idea" Jane protested,
looking about at Hattie indig-
nantly.
But is II true. my dear?"
No! No! No" Jane cried so
loudly that Hattie's attention was
attracted to the fact that two Of
her employers arms were not on
the steering wheel where they be-
longed.
Gosh. Talk about one-armed
drivers no wonder there are so
NIIny automobile w-ecks," she re-
.'~rked loudly.

thing about the lovely moonlight.

Hattie said pointedly.

able back seat" she complained like
a child
He smiled in a humoring way.
"All right. let's get out and walk a
while. I'll drive over to Riverside
where we can park"
Once out of the car Hattie lost
no time in clamping herself to Mr..
Carruther's side. Jane was left with
the strange young man to discuss
the river view. which, she had to
admit, was beautiful and romantic
The idea of Mr.. Carruthers paying
court to Jane was rather sudden.
With all other affairs so much in
the air. Jane was not ready to con-
slider the thing at all. He was
handsome and young and rich, of
course. What more could a girl de-
sire? But above everything else
Mr.. Roberts face haunted her. Jane
looked over the moonlit river and
