fee4 O76 LIFE’S Marriage Contest Men No.1 I'd rather single be than wed If by one of these to the altar led, But since the match will have to be, “Seldom at home,” appeals to me, No.1 That lively wit, which much appeals to me, ‘The wandering life, by vagrant fancy led, Bid me forget the truth, that men may be ‘Sweet “April when they woo, December when they wed.” 4 No. 5 Elimination is the way by which my doom Ill know, For every face among the five to look at gives me woe. I could not live with Two or Four; Good Lord deliver me From One und Five—Saints! Whois left? Old Three it has to} be! No. 3 Though Thomas Lawson bids us know ‘That money-grubbing ends in woe, ‘A millionaire has charms for me So millionaires I will be. No.4 I choose the poet, for I know His graceful verse could mitigate life's woe. To empty platters I do not incline, But ah, the joy to call a genius mine! No: 5 My heart to riches doth incline— I choose the millionaire for mine— Unsympathetic he may be, Rut “money talks’ enough for me’ No 3 Millionaire, soul of honor—can that be? He's mine for life—the doubt deters not me. Since, when for money I thus seem 10 wed, It is Lare’s money my desire has led. ‘Women “Tis hard to choose, you know. A bigamist T think I'll be And spend a life of woe. No.1 Ia heart, filled with kindness, were offered to me, Or wealth of the wealth in lieu could be, ‘My choice to the first would ever incline; And were it fair “kind hearts" the world would be mive. No. 2 Talk on, thou sweet penniless maiden, and know, If oaly my wife thou wilt be, Not one of thy faults is suggestive of woe Toa man over eighty like me. No. 5 Sweet, tender widow, thou dost know What marriage holds of joy and woe. If T tempt thee again to wed By thine own prudence I'll be led No. 3 Ab! fair economist, "twould be A blessed life for thee and me, If thou wouldst to my suit incline And promise to be ever mine. No. 3 Widow, I know thy loving heart. Forme Earth holds no fairer flower, Incline ‘Thy thoughts to my true prayer. I'll be Whate'er thou wishest; only be thou mine. Ione of these I had to wed. (Lord spare me such a woe!) I think by Chance I should be led And toss a coin, you know. Which shall it be? Which shall it be? To all I do inctine. To Salt Lake City go with me At aif shall soon be mine. FRANKLIN Excessive weight cannot make an automobile strong nor safe. But it makes big bills. The Franklin Model “HH” touring-car is unique among automobiles. It weighs less than 2600 pounds. It has 42 horse-power. Its engine is a six-cylinder. It carries seven passengers comfortably. Yet it is lighter than any standard five-passenger, water-cooled automobile. Consider what that means-in net power, and ability on American roads. Consider the economy. Type “H” is faster than any touring-car of anywhere near its power. It has large wheels and tires; and like all Franklins, it has full elliptic spring-suspension and laminated wood frame—making its riding qualities comfortable and easeful beyond comparison. No shock to the passengers; no racking of the machine. And you can steer it with one hand. A heavy automobile pounds heavily on the road—that means rapid wear-and-tear and discomfort. It is harder to control—that means danger. And the running-cost and depreciation-cost are unreasonable. ~ The Franklin air-cooled engine not only gets rid of weight, but of trouble and complication. It economizes fuel wonderfully; and it cools perfectly, even running idle—a thing no water-cooled motor will do. Type ‘“‘H” is the handsomest touring-car on the market. Its body of sheet metal is a work of art. No Franklin has the cheap wood body nor the heavy cast body. And you never knew a Franklin to wear out. Before you buy any automobile see it weighed and test its strength. 16h. p. a-cylinder Runabout $1750 | 28h. p. ¢-cylinder Touring-car or Runabout $2850 16h. p. a-cylinder Touring-car $1850 | 42h. p. &cylinder Touring-car or Runabout Prices { o.b.
