Divorce HE current issue of Lire—which is, by the way, in many respects the keenest and ttiest and most aggravating publication in the world—contai uncommonly strong double- cartoon by James Montgomery Flagg, which pels thought, whatever question may be raised as to its morality. The institution—or convention, call it what- ever you will of marriage is now held too lightly n this country. Divorces are sought and granted n too trivial grounds. The result cannot fail 1 be demoralizing. And yet It cannot be doubted that there is many a case where divorce is actually a life preserver thrown oy a helping hand to rescue drowningsouls. Peo- je yoked in hateful bonds, with no hope of happi- -s5 in them, often live together in misery when separated both might be happy. There can be nothing sacred about a tie that binds a pure, noble voman to a brutish, di ded moral leper. To condemn couples clearly mismated to perpetual matrimony is to damn them with a life as amiable as that of a pair of cats tied together and flung over a clothes-line to fight it out. Still, there is always danger in the encourage- nent of divorce. It needs none, anyway. A so- ciety in which marriage is regarded as a light con- tract, to be taken or broken at will, is degenerate. There are two sides to this question, as to most thers. It is evil to make a trifling thing out of the marriage contract, but,in cases where divorce s clearly needed it is bitterest cruelty to throw the drowning couple a millstone when they need a life preserver.—Duluth Evening Herald. Too Thin HERE is a Representative in Congress from the’ West who edingly thin. Being a very good-natured man, this Represent always takes in good part any joking reference to his slenderness; indeed, he is not averse to a jest himself in that connection, as is illustrated by an incident that occurred in a street car in Wash- ington It appears that just as the car was rounding a curve a burly citizen lurched forward and sat in the Congressman’s lap. He recovered himself quickly, and began a profuse apology, when he as interrupted by the statesman’s cheery “That's all right.” “But,” added the Congressman, plaintively, “T wish, my friend, that you'd tell me whether you thought I was painted on the seat.”—J/ar- per’s Weekly. E all know the first of the old American rhymes—short and pithy—such as “Boy, —gun bust—boy dust.” We now learn the sad fate of the Angler Boy, who would go home the quickest The angler boy walked on the track— He heard the engine squeal; The engineer crept softly down, And scraped him off the wheel. “And his funeral’s to-morrow, and my poor heart’s full of sorrow.”—-Sporting Times.
