nave been running a serious OF ar
ticies lately on marriage and whether
It's d success or vice versa and every
DAY they been printing letters that
was sent in to them by husbands and
wires stateing their views on the case
n the editors seems to think they
should be the people that should
ought to know, but as far as l been
able to make out from their letters
the game will go into extra innings
n they will finely half to call 1t of
on acct, of darkness. It looks like
what the papers calls q hung jury
and 1t should be.
The trouble with the discussion ard
why 1t amt libel to get us nowheres
Is on acct. Of the big majority Of the
letters comeing from people that has
only been married one time. / got q
friend Of mine that is now running
his 9TH relay and ought to know what
ne Is talking about so the other night
l asked him to give his frank opinion
on the subject, thinking my host OF
readers would be interested and here
Ii what he had to say in part.
-Four marriages out of five or IN
other words so per cent IL a bowling
success. The other 20 per cent Is a
fasco of the 1st water. l am at pres
ent In the midst Of the last named,
but as the successes Is more pleas
anter to talk about than the busts, !
will start in or the former.
1.-THE LIST gal l married was the
daughter Of a wealthy real estate
man named Ella. The old man gave
her a check for $4,000 for a wedding
present and as we was waiting for
the train to take US to the Falls, I
got her to endorse the check on the
grounds that maybe we would U
short on the trip and half to get som
Of the porters to cash the check. Well,
we got to the Falls and set there look
ing at them for about n mr., and
finely | asked her how she liked 1t
and she said her it. hurt her In her
going away shoes and besides II they
was pleasure to be got out OF stare
ing all day at a bunch Of running
water why not do 1t In comfort by
going back to the hotel and go In the
bathroom and turn OF all the faucets.
She said that as far as she was con-
6erned Niagara was a cheese. So !
told her that Of course they wasn't
no sport In just setting there and
gapeing at it, but the real fun was to
rent a empty Dbl. s~omewheres and get
inside 1t and leave the stopper out so
as some air could get In and shoot
the Falls. SO she liked the idear and
we engaged a Dbl. by the hr. and
come to find out they wasn't room
enough in 1t for the 2 Of US to ride
at once, SO l said We would flip q
coin and II 1t come heads she was to
60 LIST and l flpped a coin and sure
enough 1t come heads.
'.The next gal l married was name
Claire and she didn't have no d0wry
but she carried $1,000 accident insur-
ance as she use to travel on the road
for a vacuum cleaner. 1t wasn't only
about Z wk. after the honeymoon
that she catched a cold, and 1t set
tied in a hollow tooth and for a cou-
Pile nights she layed and m0aned and
finely she said she couldn't stand It
no more so l lit up the lights and
began showing her some of my curios
to take her mind off the tooth a1d
one Of them was a double Dbl. shot
gun and before l could say Jack
Robertson both bbls. went of right In
her eye. The coroner said 1t was a
accident.
mo. 3 was name Eloise and hadn't
never heard the name before and kept
forgetting It ant calling her Ella and
Claire both of which had left me a
wldower, and she knew 1t and didn't
like 1t very we'll but l couldn't seem
to get out Of the habit and every
time l done 1t she would start q
quarrel and 1t finely got to be Z
regular mania with her and she says
the next time / called her out OF her
name she would croak herself. SO l
says don't do that Claire and next
thing I knew she had drank a pit. OF
wood alcohol thinking 1t was carbolic
acid and when l tried to get our DR..
the line was busy. Eloise left me a
chest Of silver that her uncle had
give her who was In the jewellry bus
mess and I sold it for $500.
II was married to the 4th. n
name Kate in August and her father
give us Z house and lot She had hay
fever end a red nose but I loved her
and they wasn't a day past when l
didn't bring her a bouquet Of some
kind Of flowers. One day the florist
didn't have nothing In stock and |
was kind CT scared to 60 home with
out no bouquet 81 l stopped by the
side of the road and picked a nose
gay of golden rods and and tossed
1t in her lap and the Sd explosion
bowed her up.
"The lease said about the present
lncumbrants why SO much the better.
I've done everything I could for her
but they don't nothing satisfy her.
