The First Aid to Love
By DOllOTiir 1IX.
A great many people besides Mr. Boom
velt are greatly concerned about the de
cline and falling off In matrimony, as Mr.
Were might say. All sorts of reasons,
ucn as xne Brow
ns inaepenaence or
women and the
high price of llv-
ng, are Drought
forth to explain
why people don't
eem to fall in love
and marry as
much as they used
to do.
Rats! The trouble
with matrimony Is

because there Is no
provision made for

In the modern
home that Cupid has packed up his darts

for grille . work, through which every
sound is distinctly audible, that is re
sponsible for the Increase of spinsters,
if In the good old days, before the o
tirsed UvknK room in which a whole fam
ily .herded, together - was devised, and
when -there was a set parlor, sacred to
the girls and their beaux,' every girl of
ordinary attractions had plenty of beaux,
and In due time got comfortably married.
Nowadays when the young man who goes
a-vlsitlng has to sit In" the bosom of the
girl's family, and where he has to do his
love making. If he does It at all. In the
presence of all her Immediate relatives,
men callers are few, and courting Is fast
becoming a loRt art.
Nor is this to be wondered at. There
are some things for which a man wants
privacy, and the absolute certainty that
no other ear than the one for which they
are Intended is listening to his remarks,
Tid that Is when he makes love. It Is
death to sentiment to suspicion that a
cold, dispassionate third party is taking
notes, and the apprehension that beyond
a pair of flimsy curtains papa is reading.

socks, and little brother and little sister

childhood, to Jicar how. he does it, has

nlze that the best and happiest career for
woman is matrimony. It Is just as much
their duty to use some Intelligent effort
helping their daughters to make good

get some sort of good business. They
should be Cupid's aids, not his hln
d ranees.
In the first place, then, a father who
has marriageable daughters should pro
vide them with a homo In which there
Is at least one room where a man can
propose In peace and safety. The ad'
vantages of nooks and corners, and vine
shaded porches are not to be overestl'
mated as promoters of spooning. Unhap
pily these are not always obtainable, but
when they are not it is up to the family
to go and sit In the kitchen on the wash
tubs, if they have nowhere else to go, tn
order to give the girls a chance.
Don't be too critical of every young
man who comes to see your daughters.
It Is every father's duty to investigate
into the moral character of every youth
who shows symptoms of becoming a reg
ular visitor at his house, but after be has
found out that the young man la sober,

over the love affair ceases.
In selecting a place to live parents
should also consider what the social ad-
antages would be for their daughters.
and what the matrimonial prospects are.
Success In matrimony, just as success in
business, depends entirely upon oppor
tunity. The prettiest and most charming
girl on earth couldn't marry in an Adam
less Eden, whereas a maiden of very or
dinary attraction will often make a fine,
match if she goes to live In a community
in which eligible men are plentiful.

most important one. It Is .true that fine
feathers make fine birds, and the most
beautiful woman has her looks enhanced
by good frocks. I'arents Bhould never
forget that a woman's youth Is her flood
tide of opportunity, and whatever they
aro going to do for their daughters
should be done then. It Is the time when
they can help a girl to help herself to a
husband and home of her own. There
fore, with a family in moderate circum
stances, It is a good business investment
to spend every cent that can possibly
be afforded in dressing the girls, and
letting them go about while they are
young.
Finally, mothers and fathers, and espe
cially mothers, can do a lot about mak
ing a home attractive and the sort of
place to which men would like to go. In
a way you have, always got to bait your
trap, and a cordial welcome, a gay and
sunny atmosphere, and a few dinners and
suppers go a long wsy toward toling de
sired men in, and making a bello'of a
girl.
All of this isn't saying that parents
should throw their daughters at men's
heads. Far from It. No right thinking
person advocates kidnaping an unsus
pected bachelor, or inveigling any man
Into marriage, but there is a way to en
courage matrimony as well as a way to
discourage it, and to cosset love as well
as to starve It to death.
At any rate every girl has got a right
to run the matrimonial race without be
ing handicapped by her parents.

Almost every one lias a favorite book.
It mny be the lllMe, or HhaUeMpeare or

men have even said that thry have one
hundred favorite books. It, seems. Incred
ible, but they say-so.
Now suppose, for the sake of playing
a gnme, that you were to be sent to a
denrrt Island, there to live the rest of
your days. Kvrrythlng you desire Is to
be at your service Jn unlimited profusion
except hooks. Of these you may have
only ten, and these ten you must select
yourself before the ship snlls to your
Island paradise.
What ten would you take?
This Is not so much a fool gams a It
might appear. With the tremendous In
crease of books In the world It Is becom
ing a serious question what we shall try
to read. It Is clear enough that we can
not read them all. or any considerable
portion of them all.
Hence It is wise for every one to have
up his sleeve so to say a few favorite
books that are solid enough to be to him
as good friends. Therefore, If you an
swer this question you may clear up our
own thoughts on the subject, and prob
ably help some one else to do the same.

Hut with a background' of the best books,

What One Man Did
By PKRCY SHAW.
A group of laborers was filling In a
street trench; half a dosen loaded shov
els were poised In air when the noon
whistle blew. All but one man dropped
the dirt back on the pile. The other five
were young, but they might as well have
been centenarians, for they will be shov
elling dirt till they die. Which la another,
way of saying that discriminating na
ture has provided plenty of room at the
bottom to accommodate her children of
the clock.
Nature never makes a mistake, and
therein she differs from the thinking
creatures she creates. She regulates her
multi-trillions of unthinking animals and
plant families with nicest precision; she
colors each flower for a distinct purpose;
she fashions her legions of Insects that
they may better attain their foreordained
goal in her general scheme; with all-'
seeing eya she watches the course of the
ant In the formicary with the same pa-'
tlence that she supervises the tltanlo up
heavals on our shrinking sun.
But, having bestowed upon us the
unique gift of reason, she leaves us to
determine when, where and how we shall
sow and reap.
Therefore, when at the sound of the
whistle you see a man dropping his shov
elful of work back on the pile of things
undone, you may set him down as one of
the children of the clock.
lawyer, doctor, minister, anything you
will, if he Is a child of the clock, he will
tell you he is not appreciated even as ha
is being swept away to the meadows of
opportunity lost.
Time was when pioneers In new paths
faced the acofflngs of an Intolerant world.
Galileo braved the Inquisition to maintain
a truth; Kouratea drank the fatal hem
lock with a smile; the names of the mar
tyrs are legion, likewise their fame Is
undying, but they were never children
of the clock.
Fortunately In the enlightened days
things worth while are not long passed,
by. Education has begotten discrimina
tions; the benefactor of the race, be his
service groat or small, is sure of a pres
ent reward.
Of twenty-two of our railroad presi
dents seventeen batiied ilicli vay t t
top from telegraph key, coal yard and
way station; behind they left an army of
associates equally poor with them when
the march began.
The ladder of success, like other ladders,-
narrows rapidly at the top. Thou
who stepped off the lower rungs when
tho whistle blew could never attain the
skill needed to balance on the top run
with nothing to support them. The en
vious voice of this great army will tell
you why they did not get there. Is It
strange that you are not Interested .'
What thrills you Is the story of the
heroes who did.
Paradoxical as It may sound, sympathy
belongs with the man on the heights.
The children of the clock are sufficivnt
unto themselves.
