An Analysis of "Ain't'"
Ain't" is nu improper abbrevlatlou

derivation. Americans make 11 an In

and "U not," as well as for "are not'
It Is unquestionably the worst Instance
of slovenliness In the common speech
of today.
Yet It Is by no means of universal or
eveu of common use It will slip oc
caslonally from retlned lips, always
wllh a tar to the euumlator us well
as to the hearer. Hut the habitual
user of "aln'rs" Is careless of refine
ment, fie may bo nu excellent citizen
who never beats his wife or kicks the
cat Hut there Is likely to lie some
thing slipshod about hltn somewhere,
for "alu't" Is needless as well as ca

Brides In India.
A bride la India never sees ber hus
band uutii after the marriage cere
mony. Tbe parents choose the wife
for the sou of tbe bouse without con.
suiting either party. Sometimes the
bride la us young as fourteen. The
child Is gorgeously dressed and placed
on a dais behind a sheet, the women
of the family being hi attendance.
On the other side of tbe sheet are the
bridegroom and many of bis young
men friends. Tbe groom keeps throw
ing over jewels attached to flowers,
w hich the women on tbe bride's side
remove and place In ber lap or on her
person.
This Drat ceremony is called the
shadee, and, although a man Is allowed
four wives, no other ever holds the
same position us the first chosen for
blm. Tbe others are of tittle Impor
tance, living their lives more or less as
servants to tbe first wife. As the first
wife gets to middle age she Is known

Investment Bargains.
Tbe Investor who picks up desira
ble property when everybody Is sell
ing and no one buying will have to
wait only a reasonable time to secure
his reward. I recall when real estate
In several large cities was a drug on
tbe nmrket. Everybody seemed anx
ious to sell and no one to buy, but
the buyers In those periods have real
ized enormous profits, fur greater than
one can get in tbe Stock Excbauge.
Tbe man Who has money, even If It Is
but a small amount, can always turn
tt over to advantage If he will wait
for the opiMjrtuuity. Dou't go with
the crowd when every one la wild to
buy something, but quietly abide an
opportunity when everybody Is anx
ious to unload and buyers are few. At
such a time the bargain counter opens.
