Pip TRANSFER
SURPRISES

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The pass
ing OF Wally Pipp, veteran first
baseman OF the New York Yankees,
to the National League was viewed
with some surprise today by local
fans, the opinion being held that
Pipp would have come in handy at
least to three American League
clubs. the Indians, Red Sox and
Athletics.
His purchase at the waiver price
by the Cincinnati Reds was taken
to mean that Pipp viii have a
regular job this season, as the Reds
are believed to be dissatisfied with
the work of RUDE Bressler, Walter
Holke and Al Nieuhaus at first base.
Pipp was a star first baseman
for the Yankees from 1915 until
last season, when he fell off In his

revealed when he broke his brothers
will because (although he was a mil
lionaire six times over) he had learned
that Prince Henry's widow, bride OF
four months, was to have everything.
With his grasping, misery spirit, he
determined TO have the wealth him
self.
Emma tried to persuade him to make
the widow an allowance, but he be-
came 50 threatening that she fled from
him shrieking. Emma ventured to
send her tive hundred pounds. Hear
ing Of this, William threatened to take
away her child and send her back to
her pauper parents if she did not get
the money back again. 1t was an eff
fectiye threat.
AGED BY BRUTALITY.
The brutalities Of her husband aged
Emma before her time. She knew only
curses and Ill treatment. Wilhelmina
at ten years Of age learned to keep out
OF her fathers way. She was terrified
at the sight Of his bloated evil face,
and cruel, menacinz expression. To
the end William ill-treated his wife,
and when on November %, 1890, his
death was announced, every decent
PERSONS thought was one Of congratu-
lation TO the widoT.
The marital sufferings Of Empress
Elizabeth Of Austria, consort of the
late Francis Joseph, were prolonged
and poignant. Joseph hated his wife
from the moment five weeks after their
marriage when she discovered his in
facilities. Elizabeth said to a friend
thirty years later, Something snapped
within me when knew that my hus-
band was not all that I thought he
was, and / have never been the Same
since"
Francis Joseph did not adopt the
brutal methods Of the Bulgarian bully
when he wished to display his displeas-
ure toward his wife. He was more
refined, but none the less cruel. He
insisted that she should observe the
iron etiquette of the Court which de-
creed nat she must give twenty-four
hours' notice if she wanted to see her
babies. Ultimately, on the advice of
the Court physician, he gave way lit
lie, but even then when the visit took
place it was not a case Of happy little
children welcoming their mother with
cries Of delight.

Of other words.
So this love business, this eternal
mystery of character, can hardly be
studied except by metaphors and 9TH
er figures of speech.
Marriage is a mixture of two char
acters. If they will not mix and
mingle in more or less stable and
permanent emulsion, there is no real
marriage. There are only oil and
vinegar confined in the same bottle,
imprisoned in perpetual divorce.
1t is often said that the happiest
marriages result from the union of op-
posites. But this can hardly be true.
There should, Of course, be some diff
ference, for the sake of variety and
enlargement of resources. But there
should be no vital qualities hopelessly
alien.

other naturalists say that the skunk
is the most lovable Of companions,
clean, affectionate, inoffensive, sweet
tempered, absolutely safe except for
one unfortunate trait. They are cas-
lily frightened and like other people
in moments of terror, they lose self
control.
Quick-tempered people behave or
misbebave the same way. They mean
no harm. They are as quick to peace
as they are to war. But like the skunk
and the bombshell they do not have
to be excited long. 1t may, however,
take a long time to repair the damage
they do.

1t is their essential congeniality O.

There is incessant outcry agains
the increase Of divorces and the de
crease of marriages. But marrying il
not likely to come to an end during
our generation, and we can console
ourselves with the thought that nobody
can get a divorce till he or she has
first got married.
DIVORCE UNSTOPABLE.
Furthermore, is it not a waste OF
time and toll to try to prevent di-
vorces by making them impossible,
since, where there Is no outlet by
way of divorce, people will have re-
course to the ancient and unprevent-
able method Of living apart under the
same roof or under separate roofs
That form of divorce has never been
neglected.
The only sane cure for divorce as
for any other disease is to remedy the
conditions that bring about the infec-
ton.
The best way to prevent divorce is
before marriage. And by this / don't
mean to add myself to those who in
sist that marriages should be made
more difficult.
The statistics render such theories
silly. Laws compelling publication of
the banns for weeks and weeks before
the marriage can do no good. Some
Of the promptest separations ever
known have been made by couples
that have been VIGOROUSLY bethrothed
for years.
I believe so much in freedom and
the minding of ones own business that
] believe in making both marriage and
divorce easy, and making one no more
disgraceful than the other. 1t is sim
ply and fatty and absolutely none of

Porcupines, on the contrary, are

to push them about they present moth
ing but poisonous daggers. Yet they
never explode, and their range of dam
age is exceedingly small.

sary to keep them from monkeyins
with ours.
But advice does no harm-espccial-
ly as nobody ever accepts it. And of
all people the least likely to listen to
advice are people in that state of high
fever known as love.
Still, il any word of counsel could
penetrate the delirium, it ought to be
a warning against letting the flirta-
ton ossify into a marriage before some
thought is given to the probability Of
permanence.
CONSIDER THE TEMPER.
1t is far better to play at love and
part with mutual apologies for mis-
understanding of one another, than to
lock the door Of matrimony and throw
the key out of the window-only to
follow the key little later, or to
persist in the CHASTITY blunder rather
than admit II.
Let people who are tempted to COM
NIT wedlock give especial considera.
ton to one another's tempers for they
will be most necessarily tried. Let
the victims of matrimonial inclinations
study their own tempers also.
Everybody ought to know his own
temper il nothing else. II you are
patient as a bombshell and as ruin
Gus when aroused make sure that the
partner you are selecting will know
enough to keep from exploding you.
II you are a fretful porcupine, give
your beloved mate fair warning that
you are to be let alone severely when
you are frightened or vexed.
And this is true of all other human
partnerships and encounters as well
as matrimony.
In other words, in the wise words OF
the wise, the meek Socrates: know
myself" When you have reached this
supreme height OF wisdom, you will
perhaps have sense enough also to Be
ware of theyself, and ht others know
thee well enough to beware of thee at
thy worst.

Most Of us are pretty distinctly por
cupinish or bombshellish. We are moi
much to blame for our qualities, bu'
our qualities are largely to blame fol
most OF the worlds misery, and per
hans for all its matrimonial failures
II was the recent sight of a motion
picture showing q group Of porcupines
in their native haunts that put into my
head this notion.
The porcupines got along famously
together. They loved their mates and
doubtless thought them beautiful.
Their spines were Ike overcoats and
seemed TO cause them little inconven-
ience. Wings would have been more
useful at times and feathers prettier,
but the porcupines had had no more
choice in their uniforms than people
have in the matter of noses and ears
Into this porcupine paradise strolled
man and a dog. Each of the porcu-
mines rolled himself or herself into q
hall OF cactus.
MALICE REALLY RARE.
Sometimes an ignorant dog attacks
porcupine and fills his nose with
barbed spines. The removal of them
is an agony, the torture fiendish.
Yet the porcupine was not a fiend.
The dog in anger tried to use his
teeth; the porcupine's repartee was
quilts.
People are like that-lovers and
married folk particularly. They in
flict their worse wounds in self-pro-
lection or in a state Of terror. The
damage may be severe, yet the inten-
ton is not vicious.
] have feeling that genuine malice
is about the rarest thing in the world
thought it is about the commonest mo-
tive Of which people are accused.
The look Of people who are in dan
ger Is proof that their wrath is pain
TO them, an anguish like the delirium
Of a patient with fever. When one
has typhoid germs in his intestines, he
is permitted TO say anything and be
forgiven.
Well, anger is kind Of walking ty-
phoid and the worms gnaw at the
heart so fiercely that one strikes at the
nearest even when they are the dear
est; one bowls abuse at individuals
when It is only the world in general
that one means 10 nevile.
The best way to avoid sin is TO
keep at a safe distance from tempta-
ZION. The best way 20 avoid wrath is
TO keep aloof from the occasions Of 1t
or from the people who occasion it.
That Is why have never believed
that peace could be secured by leagues.
