NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Domestic
economic and business developments
during the past week were much
more favorable than the movements

seem to indicate.
Only in the last two full sessions
OF the week was trading in specula-
tive stocks anything like normal
while on Tuesday the aggregate
trading was the smallest for a sin.

cular features were few in number
and the general trend of the old
line market favorites was upward.
In the action Of the stock market,
especially in the latter part Of the
week, there was every indication of
q return of popular favor to the
railroad stocks. The incentive is
more than the favorable earnings

THE BOND MARKET.
While the offering of new bonds
during the past week made a sharp
drop from those of the preceding
three weeks Of the New Year, the
aggregate was well up to the av-
erage of the last six months. The
most prominent new issues Of the
week were in connection with fl
nancing Of the two prominent steal
companies, Bethlehem with $685.
100000 and Republic $10,000,0 900.
The aggregate for the week was
$S3,000,0 900, OF which the Industrial
group made up SAL, 900 900; state
and municipal $15.000,000; public
utility and railroads 10000, 900
each. The $10,00O,000 railroad is
sue was in connection with the ii.

phia Rapid Transit company, and
the largest municipal issue the new

In the listed bond market the
most prominent feature was the

DISCUSSES
LIFE
THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT
BY DOROTHY DIX


TINE National Womens party is
mothering a marriage contract
bill which it will present to the
various state legislatures, and whose
purpose is to take matrimony out
of the get-rich-quick speculations,'
and list it among the solid, reliable,
dividend paying securities. In other
words, the bill purposes to make
marriage not only the realization OF.
loves young dream, but a business
contract, enforcible as such.
Inasmuch as no earthly power has
vet been found potent enough to
keep people from defaulting on their
marriage vows, it is not easy to see
how such a law could be made to
function effectively. A man swears
at the altar to love, protect, and
CHI. fish a woman, but he does so
only as long as she pleases his fam
cy, and all the kings horses, and
all the kings men, couldn't again
fill his heart with tenderness for
her after he has once tired of her.
A woman vows before God to love,
honor, and obey a man, but she does
so only as long as she is of that
mind, and while she thinks that her
John is a paragon and a prince
among men. Once let her get dIsll-
lusioned, and no process of law could
set him back upon his pedestal.
The difficulties between husbands
and wives are too fine and subtle
for the mighty hand of the law to
grasp. The essence of woman
happiness in marriage, for instance,
consists in her. husbands being ten
der and affectiOnate towards her.
The success or failure of marriage
to a man depends on wife beng
cheerful, and chummy, and appre-
ciatives vet what would be the value
of a husbands kisses if a Vile had
to get a court order recurring them
to be delivered on specific occasions?
Or what husband would care Tor the
society of a wife who had to greet
him with a glad, sweet smile OF an
evening, or else be fined:
No husband and wife can enforce
their rights on each other by law
without landing in the divorce court.
Whatever they yield to each other,
and give to each other must be Civ
c. freely, and not taken from them
by force. so the marriage contract
as legal protection to either man
or woman would be a pretty worth
less scrap of paper.
But in it's spirit the marriage con-
tract might be made a very valuable
first all to domestic felicity, for it
would do any billing, and cooling
couple good to sit down with a
lawyer, and have him coldly and
dispassionately put in writing the
things that each felt entitled to de-
mand of the other after marriage.
Any man or woman who would in
vest every cent of his or her capital
and bind himself or hereslf up for

life in a partnership without know
ing anything about the financial re-
sponsibility- of the party of the 9TH
er party or inquiring into his or her
ability to hold UP his or her end
of the business. would be thought
to be so mentally deficient as to
need a guardian.
Yet that is exactly the kind of
gamble that matrimony is to the
majority of people, and it would
surely be some restraint upon these
plungers if, in the marriage con-
tract, the man had to show that he
was able to support a family, and
the woman had to prove that she
was capable of administering it's fl
nances.
Many married couples spend their
time quarreling over the money
problem. Asuredly much pickering
and strife could be saved, if, on the
safe side of the al tar, a man had
the subject of household and per-
sonal allowances put squarely up to
him. He could then decide wheth-
err he considered that domesticity
was worth the price, and the woman
would have the very great advan-
tage of knowing whether the man
she proposed to marry was tight
wad, or open-handed.
The marriage contract could also
settle another fight before it began,
as an Irishman might say, by de-
cidihg definitely how a marriage
couple was to live. Most men get
married to get a home, and home
cooking. They are worn out with
clubs, and hotels, and boarding
houses. Their digestions have been
ruined by eating community-cooked
food, and as they escort some sweet
young thing up the cuhrch aisle,
they are praying that they will
never again have to partake of any
thing a Ia this, or that, or see
made dish again, and if this dream
is not going to be realized, it is moth
ing but common honesty for the 9th
err party of the contract to states her
intentions and determinations before
the papers are signed and recorded.
If a woman specified in her mar
riage contract that she would do no
homework, and that she would
spend her time gadding around to
bargain sales, and clubs, and bridge
games. and that at such times as
they did not board, she would feed
her husband out of paper bags, and
tin cans, she would at least let
man know what to expect, and she
would make an honest bargain.
The marriage contract would also
settle the baneful problem of the
in-laws. 1t could be agreed between
the party Of the first part, and the
party of the second part. that nei'
Their the mans mother nor the wom-
ans mother was to live with them,
and that instead of running free
boarding house for all the sisters,
and the cousins, and the aunts on
both sides, there was to be q, strict
time limit for the visits of relatives.
Another clause in the contract
should deal with the matter of per-

A Fright in the Night
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS
imagination makes of night


A DOGGY just to give us fright.
Welcome Robin.
1t was, pitch dark in the shed at
the back Of Farmer Browns house,
for it was night. On a rafter up
under the roof sat Welcome Robin
fast asleep. 1t was very still. The
only sound were occasional snaps as

tice them, for by this time he was
used to them. He slept peacefully.
But suddenly he awoke. Just why
he didn't know. He awoke in great
fright. Why he was afraid he didn't
know. 1t was just a feeling that
something was wrong, that some
danger was near. He listened, but
heard nothing. He changed his posi-
ton nervously. After a while he be-
gan to get over his fright.
II guess 1 must have had bad
dream or something" thought he. II
guess it is because 1 am not yet
wholly used to this place. Nothing
could harm me here. I'm just a silly
bird to be afraid. I'll go to sleep
again and forget it,"
He was just about to tuck his head
under a wing when he heard just the
faintest sound. Instantly he was wide
awake and all his fears had re-
turned He held his breath and
waited. Then he heard that sound
again. 1t was a very faint noise, but
it sounded like claws, sharp claws
on wood. Perhaps it was just a
mouse. He tried to make himself be-
lieve that that was all it was.
And then Welcome Robin saw two
little points of light. He knew what
they were. They were eyes! Yes sir,
they were eyes. Fear clutched his
heart. For two or three minutes
those eyes didn't move. Then. very
slowly they began to move, and he
heard that faint sound of claws on
wood. He stared at those two eyes.
They were creeping up along the side
of the shed. 1t was terrible to watch
them. Whose they were he hadn't
the least idea, but he knew that they
belonged to an enemy. Presently
they were even with him. Then they
began to move out very slowly along
the rafter on which he was sitting.
Welcome gave a little shrek of
fright, and flew across to another
rafter at the far end of the shed.
There he sat and shivered and shook.
For a moment or two those eyes
glared at him>and then disappeared,
Whoever owned them had turned
around and was going back along
that rafter. He hear a thump as
some one jumped down. Then sud
denly he guessed who it was. 1t was
Black Pussy the Cat!
Poor Welcome Robin! He didn't
dare go to sleep again. For long,
long time he sat there shaking with
fright, watching for those terrible
eyes and listening for some sound to
tell him where Black Pussy was. He
had about decided that Black Pussy

Ito determine the degree to which
Biloxi Japanese soy beans and Brab-
ham peas are resistant to the at
tack of the nematode worm. We
have had no complaints of these
crops being generally injured by this
disease. The Brabham pea, Of course,
is considered one of the most re-
sistant strains we have, and appar-
emily has been planted with good
success in many sections where the
nematode worm is prevalent. We
know that Laredo soy beans are re-
garded as being very resistant to the
attacks of the nematode disease.
You should not have great difficult
ty in securing seed OF this variety,
and we believe if you do, that you
will find it a satisfactory strain to
cultivate under existing conditions.
In our tests here at Athens for sew
eral years, it heads the list not only
in the quality of grain, but in the
outturn of hay as well. l think the
average WELD per acre is about TWEEN
ty-four bushels of grain and two and
one fourth tons of hay. This is con-
siderably in advance of the next
best variety, which is the Southern
Prolific. The Biloxi Japanese soy
bean has proven to be the better Of
the two varieties mentioned. In the

peace would rest upon the roof pole
of that household in which both hus-
band and wife were guaranteed a
latch key, and the privilege of using
it one night a week without any ques-
tons being asked, or objections
raised. A further clause might pos
sibly secure to each one a joy I'M

If men and women tried as hard
to get along with each other as bust
ness partners do, and made as great
an effort to make the business Of
marriage a success, few marriages
would be failures. So perhaps the
marriage contract will work.

There are many women who find
their household duties almost unbear-

rangement. Thetrouble may be slight,
yet cause such annoying symptoms
as dragging pains, weakness and a

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

such conditions. It has in many cases
relieved those symptoms by removing
the cause of them. Mrs. Halls ex-
perience is but one of many.
