Nrlcket on tne heaftn. One of the greatest social problems OF the day is to explain why there are so many marriageable women who never get married. Some say it is owning to an excess in numbers of women over men, in consequence of which there are not husbands enough to go round. This. however. is disapproved by statistics. Take the world through and figures show that there are as many men in it as there are women. Others attribute it | to the expensiveness of modern life. Men do not marry because, it is said, | they cannot afford to. But the fact is that no man who truly loved a woman ever hesitated to become engaged to her because of poverty. They are cold blooded men, with no idea of any feel ing for woman stronger than languid admiration, who may be deferred from assuming what they regard as a burden in the shape of wife, unless assured OF | q liberal income, but most are not so | calculating. Others, again, attribute the | evil to women's fastidiousness. They expect too much in husband, and, while waiting for an impossible shadow, lea the possible substance slip through | their fingers. This is Ii bel on the sex. As rule, they are no more fastldlous than men are, and are just as suscepti- BILE as men to that enchantment of love which invests its object with every per fection and covers up every fault. So far as men and women are concerned, they are as prone to marriage now as in any period Of the worlds history. New ertheless, there are women waiting for husbands and not getting them. They are pretty, they are accomplished, they are sensible, and, under proper training, they would make excellent wives and mothers, but they never get a chance. What seems to be needed is a more thorough method Of bringing men and women into social contact with each other.

Now, if you want the full history of the early life of 81 Julien, which has never been published | can give it to you. Joe Dunning raise3 both horses on his farm between Denton and MiddletOwn, this county. There is about one year between their ages and Volunteer is their father. Both horses were driven together in a team for a long time, doing farm work, road driv. ing and marketing. They were then colts, and Joe Dunning had no idea that he had such valuable trotters. Neither were nervous to speak of. Indeed-and especially st. Julien-they were as docile could possibly be. One of the PRINCIPAL features of the teams daily work was driving milk to the railroad station This was how st. Julien was broken IN harness, and it was about the first work he ever did; in fact, it was, ! think, a mi k wagon that he first hauled along the road behind him, and, too, when he was but colt. Many Il time | have driven the team to the station with milk myself and st. Julien never thought of striking anything but a trot lie never showed the least sign of skitlshnesS, and what is more, never wobbled all over the road like colts generally do. lie trotted square and level, and always straight ahead.
