That most men. personally, don't care for
perpetual marriage.
That marriage with children differ from
childless wedlock.
That what may be essential in one case
is piffle In another.
That woman is as much Interested and
more In liberal divorce lews than man.
That a loveless marriage is a greater
crime than its breach.
That marriage la the disease and divorce
the panacea.
That the masaes not the rich demand

That what may be aa equitable law of
marriage and divorce to one class may
be the worst form of injustice to another.
Thst the child is the barrier between the
present conditions and the general reeogal
tion of the theory that men and woman,
are better freer.
That women of the masses are insistent

That women of the middle classes, at

pretty good etrlnga. It may be that this
'medicine' is carried to give to the snakes
and thus arouse their appetite for fish.
Perhaps soma Missouri fisherman had thus
doped the anake the boy tells about. The
experiment may be worth trying, and I
will recommend the scheme to some friend,
being a trifle shy of snakes m self, cad
having no good recipe for medicine It
would have to be tried at some other
place than Carter lake, however, because
we do not encourage either the growth of
snakes or the mixing of snake imdtrtna
