In these days of enlightened humanity mid law no man or men can resort to this arbitrament without Incurring th reproach of dislioiior. The best marks man or the best swordsman Is tlie ono whose "honor" Is usually vludtoaied in these encounters.

It Is hard work and vxponslvo work and the glory of it all Is sadly tarnished. The .school saving bank Is not ev erywhere a familiar Institution. Yet In one hundred and eighteen towns and elites In twenty four States and two Ciimtdlitu provinces there are nearly II ft eon hundred schools where the ss tom of school savings is practised. The tloposttora number over ono hundred mid sixty six thousand. According to vtii tint lea brought up to January.

To-day tho robber Is nu outcast, bloodhounds are on his trail nnd tho world refuses to admire crime or the bungling thieves who have fob lowed in the footsteps of tho nlmost ex tinct "high-class" professional. It Is us It should be. It Is unfashionable to use the word. "Sin" nowadays. A mawkish senti mentality hns substituted longer nnd higher-sounding terms. Tho preacher of the olden time thundered Into the ears of bis parishioners, "Tho soul that sinnoih It shall" die." That was plain and easily understood. No ono could sin and hope to escape the conse Uneinvs, Hut tho times have changed and the word sin as descriptive of wIckiMness Is obsolete. If a wan with above a thousand a year steals he la a "kleptomaniac:" If he makes n bjg stealing ho Is "financier." He may be guilty of "moral dellunueucy." but ho Is not a thief.

Br "If a mnn has got enough ahead to go to a hos pital when ho Is sick he is a find to get married." said a man who bail learned wisdom from experi ence. Most men would, without being sure of the hospital, leave themselves even In slckuess to the mercy of the landlady rather than marry. If they believed that the wotnau was taking ac count of stock tn this business like fashion. It ts a marvelous thing that sentiment holds Its owu at all lu the face of the tremendous pressure put upon It to surrender to finaucial expediency. Yet it does bold Its own to an extent which makes this cold-blooded slander largely uncalled for. Commercial marriages exist, they are not a matter of course. Among the parasite class of women, the Idle, helpless daughters of wealthy or burdened daughters of wealthy or burdoued men. only good fortune can save a woman from thinking of marriage as a change of bankers which must be prudently considered. Thank heaven all women are not parasites. The majori ty of husbands are poor men on an Income so small thnt the women who marry them will not be unduly tempted by daaxling perquisites. The "home" may tempt, but It will be the sentiment of home and not its upholstery. The op portunity to work hard for board and clothes would be available without selling oneself for the privilege. The shoe of existing Industry pinches chiefly for the poor In the uncertainty of continued employment, and hence among the more prudent sentiment and marriage sometimes are denied for conscience sake. AYhatever the station In life, the commercial side of marriage sooner or late makes Its appearance, no matter how the Individual may seek to free himself or herself from it. The independent working woman Is the greatest safe guard against the mercenary n-.arriage. If woman's modern GREAT BUDA-PESTH B IDGE. Cl4 a One of the HtnJunnt Yidot ia the World.

"The activity does nothing more than save many of them from iiiurrylug for a home, it bus a redeeming influence.

By Cbauncey M. Depew, V. S. Senator from New York The young man who Is born rich is se riously hnndicupped for success in life, lie hasn't the spur of necessity, and un less he Is peculiarly trained and more thuu ordinarily organized ho has little ambition. The world Is too easy for him. Its temptations are about him on every side with bad habits which make him worthless, or laziness or idleness which makes him useless. Of course, there nre c. m. PKrEW. n few sons of rich men who have suc cesses iu life, but they are so exceptional their cases are very marked nnd remarked. By being born poor I do not mean extreme poverty. Granted thnt with the ndvnutnges of the public schools the boy's parents can give him a first-class educntlon and then he bus to make his own career, the spur of necessity will arouse every faculty which helps make success. With moderate success comes ambition, and ttB his spheres of activity enlarge he acquires a sense of power. He lenrn9 the value of temperance and character. He knows by ex perience that health and Industry can accomplish almost anything nnd carry Its possessor almost anywhere. As he grows lu position, wealth and Influence he is the more thankful every day for the condition which compelled him to do his mightiest or drop out of sight The vast majority of those who start under the condi tions thnt I have mentioned live long and prosper. From their number come those who move the world and govern it, who ore Its masters In business enterprises, its leaders In the professions. Its statesmen and rulers, Its men of thought and action.

But one eveuing, when the husband returned from business, he found to bis disgust that a water pipe had burst. The rooms were flooded, and the car pets, which were the husband's spe cial pride, were in danger of beiny spoiled. "Well, well." said he. Impatiently, to ht wife, "why on earth didn't you hammer tho pipe up? Here, give me a hammer, and I'll do it In a twink ling:" lie got the hammer and pounded away at a pipe down tn the cellar.
