MARRY IN HASTE
((QAM OWLEY brought his bride

th# horse doctor, “and they’re going to
begin housekeeping right away, 9am

after first seeing her, and seems to

“They’re all cheap

don’t get a chro

' them. Most mar
ried women repent at leisure, whether
they married In haste or took their time
about It.
"I sometimes think that the longer
an unmarried woman contemplates the
man she is going to marry, the less she
knows about him. If there Is a pro
tracted courtship, the man haa every
opportunity to work up a reputation
that doesn’t belong to him.
“Just this morning my present wife
was telling me that If she had known
what sort of a man I really was she’d
never have married me. Yet she had
six months to study me before the wed
ding bells rang out their glad chimes,
and she thought I was an exemplary
man. Tm natura.ly of a slouchy dis
position. I never did take much pride
in my appearance, even when I was a
young man, and as I waxed older 1 be
came downright careless. I considered
it a waste, of money and effort to have
my clothes pressed, and having
shoes blacked seemed merely vanity
and vexation of
“Yet when I began courting the ex
cellent woman who Is my wife, I
braced up In the most surprising way.
I always did that when I went court

It never seemed a dishonest proceed

called my attention to the matter, long
afterwards, that I was obtaining mon
ey under false pretenses, so to speak,
when I created the Impression that I
was the glass of fashion and the mold
of form.
“I’d go to see that woman all togged
out like a young man who Is billed to
ting a tenor solo. I'd have my whis
kers and hair trimmed, and my shoes
shined, and my teeth manicured, and
I'd be wearing a collar as white aa
the driven snow, and a handkerchief
In keeping. It seemed the natural and
proper thing to do, yet I was working
a flimflam game with th# best Inten
tions In the world.
“The more Arabella considered me,
the more she was convinced that I was
a marvelously neat and tidy man, and
she was so Impressed that she married
me without the slightest hesitation.
No sooner were the last sad rites per
formed, however, than I lost all Inter
est In the task of dolling myself up,
and I’ve been a sort of scarecrow ever
since.
“My wife has to remind me when
it’s time to change shirts or have my
hair cut, and she’s completely disheart
ened. I don't blame her in the least,'
for I realize now, since she has ex
plained the matter ten thousand times,
that she mayrled a counterfeit
“It would have been far better had
she caught me when 1 was running
wild, and married me without taking
time to think the matter over. But she
studied me for several months, and
you see what sort of a prize package
ahe drew.
“I believe a woman, or a man, eith
er, will do well to trust to luck to
matrimonial matters.”
A Farmer Cured of Rheumatism
“A man living on a farm near here
came in a short time ago completely
doubled up with rheumatism. I hand

C. P. Rayder, Patten Mills, N. Y. “A

"Millions for Defense."
Charles C, Pinckney was one of
three envoys sent by the United States
ie France -hi «5T. to settle disputes
which had arisen between France and
the United States. The American
grievance was caused by the seizure
of American vessels by France. The
French grievance was that commercial
privileges had been granted to England.
Talleyrand, the French foreign minis
ter, refused to receive the envoys, but
It had been conveyed to them by secret
agents that before any settlement
could be reached It would be neces
sary for the United States to pay a
large sum of money, which was, In
fact, little more than a bribe. It
was then that Pinckney made his fa
mous declaration that the United
had "millions for defense, but not one
cent for tribute.”
Much Affected.
“Come, now! Don’t look so
able!” said a Tumllnvllle photogra

that you are going to get married to

reasonable chance.”

May 1 Sees Inaugurated First
General Campaign of
Kind in Service.
■
Without the Postal Service, business
would languish In a day, and be at a
standstill In a week. Public opinion
would die of dry rot Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish, and
narrow-mindedness thrive.
It Is the biggest distinctive business
in the world and It comes nearer to the
Innermost Interests of a greater num
her of men and women than any other
Institution on earth. No private busi
ness, however widespread, touches so
many lives so often or sharply; no
church reaches into so many souls,
flutters so many pulses, has so many
human beings dependent on its min
lstratlons.
"Postal Improvement Week" has
been set for May 1, by the Postmaster
General. This is the first general eam
palgn of Its kind In the Postal Service
for several decades. Business men
and their organisations, large users of
the mall, newspapers, motion pictures,
advertisers, and the entire organiza
tion of 826,000 postal workers are to be
enlisted In this country-wide campaign
of Interest In postal Improvements.
Your help Is vital. Address your let
ters plainly with pen or typewriter.
Give street address. Spell out name
of State, don’t abbreviate. Put your
return addreea In the upper left hand
corner of envelope (not on the back)
and alwaye look at your latter before
dropping In the mall to see if It Is
properly addressed. Thle care In the
uee of the malls Is for your benefit and
speeds up the dispatch and delivery
of mall matter.
If you have any complaints of poor
service make them to your postmaster.
He hae Instructions to Investigate them
and report to the department.

a large number of apiary owners are
now searching the woods for* hollow

POSTAL SERVICE
“There Is no unimportant person or
part of our service. It is a total of
human unit* and their co-operation is

and friends and should be so regarded,
rather than as a hired service per-,
formed for an absentee employer.”—
