But you can reckon on your last penny such state of affairs wouldn't suit the other side. iMen don't like being the .third or fourth love, they must be thc very first or no wedding hoii shall ring. And I adviue the~we:ik sex not fool 'ern unless you want to be a widow before the honeymoon ?B over. ' The fate of a North Carolina wo man, an . awful tragedy where a young husband killed himself, and for the benefit of my lady friends I'll read a little of it to you, read tho let ter ho left telling his reason for tak ing hui rife: "My wife ls the dearest woman tn the world and one ot the best and I have loved her more than I can ever tell, and we were BO hap py-happy tn the love wo had for each other, a love we never doubted, never for a moment until-one day In our heart to- heart talk I told her of ] my youth, of my ups and downs, the I Jolly courtships I had with a lot of! girls, and of the few who had given] mo the cold shoulder. I bad quite' a romance in several cases, but I had! found little Joy in lt all, and was sol glad to know there would be no moro of it for me. In the little narrative my wife wiis deeply interested and at the conducion put her arms about my nock and kissed mo time and again, and I waa so happy. 1 had roached the noon-tlmo, the brightest moment of my life, bright maybe because of the darkness following. For in store for me waa n night and an hour of pitch darkness, tho hour that my life would lose til its brightness and I would crave death. No sooner had I finished the little sketch of 'my own life when my wife said she had want ed so much to tell me some of her Joys and sorrows. She began with a 'ufcppy childhood, surrounded .with comforts and pleasures; then of nor school days and their ending; then began tho new life of loving and be ing loved; new bocause of the new friends ?he bsd made; how devoted some or them were, and how she rev erenced ?heir devotion; later Ibjjt reverence had found a deeper hold and she learned to love. Then ol! unthoughted she wielded tho dagger that pierced my heart, and drew thc blood from my veins, and loft roy body only a lump of clay. In tho on?; woman who waa all the world to icc 1 must learn from ber own lip* : ?rh? not ber first love. More nt ill 1 wan not her second. In her talking mood she toid or t before myself to whom she b?M coi? fessed her heart's feeling. She had said to them In all Its earnestness. '1 love you.' 11 waa bet- third love, the oply lasting one. The preceding two had loved only for a whils, each leaving her very nearly heart broken, bot tor me, because of my being so true sh? loved me dearer than lire. But there was na need to finish ber . e ?tory, no need;to speak of hearts love and devotton to roe, not now. The knowledge that I was not her first luve iuriivd my heart to a heart of stone: all my love her turned to bit ter hatred. I could no longer live with tiiis woman, my reverence had taken the ttand of bitter scorn and ? would rid myself of her. Dut how? 1 knew of but one way and that was death. 1 cannot kill her. She had I done nothing to deserve death, but I I wi*..id. tn.ke ?ny cw:; life. I will d?c j for death ls better than living with a woman who had one' time in life loved another man." I The' paper stated the maa was found j dead in his room' with this noto in his hand and when I read lt 1 said to I myself, If every one who had come in on the third run were to commit sui cide, the dead would have to bury the dead. And wasn't it a pity ?ha? wo man dtdnH get one of the first two. But finding herself a widow made it not BO bad after all. Then, no doubt, eho realized she had* better not have talked so fast. But one thing su**e, Bho couldn't have married a wor.'-j chance. Do you know I feel like wringing a man's neck that would talk that vft'. But then, there ls no need killing* him while all men think alike. I don't mean they want to die overy time, but they must always be tho first. Tho idea! Hating a wo man becauso she had confessed to loving some ono before. Of course she was unlucky not to got her first love, but ?vhat about this man? His wife was about the fortieth ono he had loved and she had never com plained. But women do be euch fools. This woman knew he had flirted with women and felt sure sev eral had rejected him. He went so far aa to tell her he had courted oth er men's wives, and the only censure was a hand clasp and a smile of deep affection. s 0 Yea, woroon, what fools we be. Thia woman ls ono of us, always ready to forgive but not daring to ask forgiven ness. Men are hatefal no doubt about lt, they don't wont to marry where there has beeb pre vious courting. They are too afraid thc girl has loved before. They don't Want to marry where courtships are common. Few women realize the horror meu have of old love affairs In ?heir wives history. Tho well known gallantry of men before mar riage is only c'iuallcd by their Jeal? ousy afterward, and the best thing for a ?vife is to be eure her husband can't pick up many of her old admir ers. A man always baies a formet lover of his wife, and no man ls fail to a woman when his Jealousy ie aroused and it takes very little tc ' r 7*0 ti o C ii. a *.*."? j'v"'-'i t'.t,....... '^T lin ?i w otd sweet tuarts neutered about , i sore to luive a m'^rable time ..^fetters not how badly she' Rate? thom, her husband will vow abe love? ?r?ry ?on? in their bodies. It ls o pity far a woman to havo a lover be ! Sere *iae man she marries. You won't think of all this before you an married, bu you aro bound to thinl goo a and hard afterwards. Lives 0! meta and women are sp different, ot ?'S ' BO differently judged, that we are prone to feel that thejudge is not the same. A man ls not jud ged by his purity while a woman ls. Few en gagements would be-1 broken off be cause of the discovery that the pro posed husband waa not ali right, but not so with tho woman, the least doubt and she finds herself alone. But thia matter of virtue among sweet hearts never reaches the sad stage until after marriage. Then the mat lug ot tho dove and the vulture be comes a serious problem, made more serious by thc one-sided view that is taken by both husband and wife. While I censure tho husband severely, I do believe a woman's lack of self esteem drives him to his way of think ing. Wo tire of the old, old saying: .'Tin; wuumn must bear and forbear, while the man dares but not once docs he forbear." True enough, a wo man's purity is her only shield, but it is little heeded by a man sunken deep in sin. He doesn't mind coming home after a night of debauching; come with the filth clinging to him, inside and out he ls vile, his soul ls blackened, his heart is hardened, his brain ls weakened, until he ls only a babbler while Li? body scents o? the carrian crow; and all In all he is dead in sin and shame. But the tics are not broken, -and ?he woman finds herself clinging to him still. The marriage vow ls not forgotten and the good wife faces ber . obi (ga llons. With a heart full of love she makes the best of the situation and trios day after day to make a success of tho failure. She does her best, never once giving a thought that he might have loved' a dozen before he knew her. Maybe married him him after all her girl friends her rejected him. This lina often been the case She was'taot only his third love, bul the very last one. Tea, Mammy Dinah, sure enough "wo women do ha such fools." .-L.-; MEMBERS O EKE BAL ASSEMBLY Complete List Members Legislature by Counties-Several New Mea bera In House.
