For being able to pull off a clever trick and walk away with his pOcket full of spending money a certain boy who makes his home in the town of Colon should carry off the prize. The other evening as Seaboard passenger train No. 11 pulled up to the station this boy stepped aboard with a basket filled with pint bottles. Entering the smoker he walked down the aisle and holding up a bottle said: "Gentlemen, here is the stuff that will cause you to forget all your cares and sorrows. Would you like to purchase at Si .00 per bottle?" Like magic hands shot out from directions and as fast as the vender could hand out the bottles the money was dropped into his hands. As the train whistle sounded and the conductor sang out, "all aboard," the boy stepped otf and upon taking an inventory of his sales discovered that he was $17.00 "to the good." The seventeen passengers, who had been relieved of their good money, saw pleasant visions ahead, but imagine their chagrin when upon opening the bottles they discovered that they had purchased coca-cola, a drink that some of the citizens of Stanford have to have many times a day to make life worth living. When they discovered that they had been duped the seventeen men no doubt felt like backing themselves up against a kicking ma..? chine and remaining there until both were worn to a frazzle. We predict that some day this boy will "out-trick" the cleverest skin game manioulator that ever followed a circus. Marriage As a Business Proposition. Biblical Recorder. On no other basis than pure and mutual love should the marriage contract ever be entered. That marriage is sometimes regarded as a business proposition is, however, too evident and loo common. And yet it is not altogether from this point of view that a practical business man has the following to say in ihe Woman's Home Companion concerning a wife's market value: "Unlike all other occupations, the business ot being a wife is free from the law of competition. If I have a poor stenographer and ] ones has a good one, 1 discharge mv stenographer and 1 lire Jone's. But if my wife is a : ickl>, listless partner, in?fficient i i her housekeeping, a constant i omplainer, while Jone's wife is superbly efficient, I cannot fire my wife and employ Jone's. I must carry her thru life, a liability rather than an asset. I am not very patient with the sick, < omplaining woman who goes to pieces under the first strain of marriage, who forces her hus band to abandon his ambition in . mid-life and become a trained! nurse. The girl who is allowed to go giggling thru her girlhood, destroying her mechanism with dill pickles and cream puffs, who saddles herself and her ills upon the shoulders of some honest, hardworking business man, that rir 1 nrotc fnr ?'
