, dent Pluck to Take the Fateful
Trip to the Altar—Vnriou* Iteaeon.
That All Spell “Afraid."
•'There Ls a great deal of specula
tion,” Ou Id a weir known lawyer.' “aa
to ,why men are up reluctant to marry,
»ut one reason novel’ seems to occur to
he speculators, and tlBTt is that many
of them are afraid to. No. 1 am not
Joking. It is a sober and well con
sidered! statement of fact, for which
can adduce ns many proofs as you
want, that many men would almost as
soon think of patting a fierce bull on
the head or facing the midnight bur
glar ns taking a trip to the altar.
I remember as a boy an amusing
specimen of this kind of man In Iowa,
He was a furmer and was as notorious
for Ids amorous entanglements as for
his Ingenuity In getting out of them
when marriage began to loom near.
It was said he hud been engaged a
dozen times, and though he left all his
fiancees In the lurch lie never found
any difficulty lu getting n successor.
One day my father, who was his law
yer, asked him: 'Why don’t you get
married. John? It Isn't for want of
opportunities, you know, and it’s quite
time you thought of settling down.'
‘Well, sir,’ John answered, ’it’s this
way: You see, I like eoorting well
enough, hut 1 can nlvver summon up
pluck to go any further. To tell you
the truth, I’m afeard of getting tied
for iife to one of ’em,’
“If you have heard many breach of
promise suits you will have observed
that this wholesome dread of matri
mony Is tlie cause of a good proportion
of them, though all the defendants
have not'the courage to say so,
“One client of mine had allowed mat-
ters to proceed right to the eve of tho
wedding day, when lie disappeared
mysteriously and wi\s not discovered
for some months. Tlie young lady
promptly sued him for damages for
breach, and at the hearing tlie, reason
for his conduct came nut. tie admitted
:-. :;.-e(I Ulna'that lie simply hadn't tlie
cotn-ago to marry her. T meant to
nmrry her right enough,’ he said, ‘but
when it came to the point my courage
failed me, and I thought it safer to
bolt.'
another case in which a widow
sued a widower for playing her false
the defendant put In a singular plea. It
seems that tlie widow’s family strongly
objected to the match, and ns passive
opposition was useless to prevent it one
of the sons, a stalwart young fellow,
called on tlie middle aged wooer and
told him that if lie persisted In his suit
lie (the soil)' would give him such u
thrashing as would effectually Sure
him of any further sentiment. 'So
what could 1 do?’ the defendant pathet
ically Asked.
••The more one sees behind the scenes
the more one realizes that there is often
e great deal to he said for the man who
loves and runs away. One of niy clients
u few years ago found himself In an
awkward quandary. He had engaged
himself to three girls at different times
und, having canceled Ills engagements
with two, was on tho eve of marrying
No. it. No sooner was Ills Intention
known than the two jilted ladles threat
ened him with legal proceedings If he
persisted In his proposed marriage, and
the favored lady In turn threatened a
similar fate If he didn’t.
"Here was a dilemma, for whatever
he did would end unpleasantly. How-
•r. like a prudent man, lie decided to
uu tlie smaller risk. He pacified his
two former fiancees by canceling his
engagement and prepared to face the
music of the third Indy.
The mother-in-law Is often n fatal
disturber of Iovo’b young dream. One
breach of promise defendant declared
that he would willingly have married
the plaintiff only he couldn’t stand
her mother at any price, and tlie pros
pect of having Ills married happiness
disturbed by her Interference so scared
him that he decided It was more pru
dent to break off the engagement, while
another frnll lover actually stated In
court that he was afraid to tnnrry tho
plaintiff lest she should ‘grow up like
her mother,’ whose ‘tongue and tem
per* Und shown him some of the less
desirable possibilities of married life.
‘‘One man whom I defended .ast year
seems to have laid a constitutional
(Jreud of matrimony. lie had been en
gaged to the plaintiff no less tbun nine
years. Four times the wedding day
had been fixed, and as many times It
was adjourned by his wish. Finally
he cried off altogether, and in court he
doclured tliut, although he loved the
girl, ho felt lie could never screw up
tho courage to marry her. When ho
wus asked the reason for Ills diffidence
he Bald that h«- hud seen so much of
the unhappy side of married life and
the difference between wooing and
wedding that he didn't feel equal to
running the risk.
These are but a few from scores of
similar cases which have come withiu
my own knowledge. One man feared
to face matrimony on Account of UU
fiancee's extravagance, uuother quaint
ly confessed a horror of his wife’s
cooking and domestic gifts generally,
a third defendant was afraid to wed
because a distant relative of his lady
love had died in an asylum, and so on.
But, whatever the cause, you may take
my word for It that the men who are
downright nfrnid to take wives are le
gion.”—Chicago Tribune.

Rlarali Farming: by n Long Islander.
Nevertheless Mr. Hollister , kept on
plowing. Hts horses did not sink to
their middle in the mire. He put them
on what were to all Intents and pur
poses “snowshoes,” each hoof on a bit
of roughened hoard some three-quar
ters of a foot square, and shod with
these ISfo teams .dragged great mai’6li
breaking plows of four foot mold-
hoard and extension slowly, yet suc
cessfully, over the morasses. These
marsh breaking plows cut up the tough
fiber In strips half a yard deep, throw
ing them over on the side. Then a
roller went over them, then the disk
harrow, then n levoler, then the roller
attain, once more the disk harrow.
Inch by inch the fiber was now torn up
ancl disintegrated. The chemical treat
ment followed—sodium and. magnesi

gave to this soil quickly and at practi
