but one reassn never secms to occur to
the speculaiors, and that is that many
et them are afraid to. No, 1 am not
joking. It is a sober and well con
sidered statement of faci, for which 1
can adduce as many prcofs as you
want, that many men would almost as
soon think of patting a fierce bull on
the head or facing the midnight bur

specimen of this kind of man in lowa.
He was a farmer and was as notorious
for his amorous entanglements as for
his ingenuity in getting out of them

{* was said he had been engaged a
dozen times, and though he left all his
fiancees in the lureh he never found
any difficully in getting a successor.
One day my father, who was his law

married, John? .It isn’t for want of
opportunities, you know, and it's quite
time you thought of settling down..

have not the courage to say so.
“One client of mine had allowed mat
ters to proceed right to the eve of the
" wedding day, when he disappeared
mysteriousiy and was not discovered
for some months. The voung lady
promptly sued him- for du. aages for
' breach, and at the hearing the reason
' for his conduct came out. He admitted
' that he was fond of .the girl, but sun
. dry exhibitions of ber temper and jeal
ousy which he had witnessed had so
" scared him that Le simply badn’t the
- courage to marry her. ‘I meant to
" marry ber right enough,’ he said, ‘but
r when it came to tiie point my courage
. failed wme, and I thought it safer to
i bolt” v
[ “In another case in which a widow
, sued & widower for playing her false
; the defendant put in a singular plea. It

i objected to the watch, and as passive

; of the sons, a stalwart young fellow,
; called on the middie aged wooer and

him of any further sentiment. ‘So

the favored _dy iu turn threatened a
similar fate if Le didn’t..
“Here wis a dilemna, for whatever
he did wou.d end unpleasantiy. How
ever, like & prudent man, he decided to
run tbe smaller risk. He pacified his
two former fiancees by canceling his
engagenient and prepared to face the
music of the third lady.
~ “The wother-in-law is often a fatal
disturber of love’s young dream. One
breach of promise defendant declared
that he wouid willingly have married
the plaintiff only he couldn’t stand
her mother at any price, and the pros
pect of having his married happiness
disturbed by her interference so scared
nim that he decided it was more pru

another frail lover actually stated in
court that he was afraid to marry the
plaintiff lest she should ‘grow up like
her mother.” whose ‘tongue and tem
per’ had shown him some of the less
desirable possibilities of married life.
“One man whom I defended last year
seciis to have had a constitutional
dread of matrimony.- He had been en
gaged to the plaintiff no less than nine
years. Ifour times the wedding day
had been tixed, and as many times it
was adjourned by his wish. Finally
he cried off oltogether, and in court he
declared that, although he loved the
girl. ‘'he felt he could never screw up
the cotrage to marry her. When he
was asked the reason for his diffidence
he said that he had seen so much of
the unlappy 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 within
my own knowledge. One man feared
to face matrimony on account of his
fiancee!s extravagance, another quaint-
Iy confessed a borror of his wife’s
cooking and domestic gifts generally,
a third deiendant was afraid to wed
because a distant relative of his lady
love had died in an asylum, and so on.
