Married Couple Who Have Violated
All Rules Yet Obtained Happiness
The American Magazine has been
offering prltes for tho best lottcrs In
the contest entitled "Tho Happiest
'Married Couple I Know." In tho
September number tho prlse-wlnnlng
letters are published. Following Is
(an extract from an amusing contribu
tion from tho centest:
"After a careful survey ot tho cou
ples ot my acquaintance, 1 havo
reached tho conclusion that my hus
band and I nro tho two happiest mar
ried, people 1 know. And I attrlbuto
I)ia tinrmnnr nt 'rtttr hnlisfflintri to flllr
fresoluto smashing ot every known
adage .ovor set down for tho assur
ance of marital peace.
"1 saw hint first In n dluor and
,notcd with Joy that I had discovered
a man whoso tabic manners were
practically perfect. Whereupon I
asked htm for tho salt with tho sweet
est smile I could mustor, a thing no
alc girl' would over do. 1 was
married to him throo weeks later, In
the fcry teeth of my horrified rela
tives, simply beeauso ho was going
abroad for bis firm and I had no
faith In that absence which makes the
heart grow fonder.
"XJvcry other woman who has over
mentioned It to roe looks back on her
honeymoon as a nightmare ot those
disappointments and 'adjustments
which Inevitably mar the first year
of married life.' Knowing nothing ot
my traveling companion beyond his
table manners, I escaped both disap
pointments and adjustments and,
barring a trifle ot mal do mer, had a
perfect time.

Fjc .years tho, approximate number
of stars visible to the eye, a mutter
of 3000 or 4000, nccording to tho
definition of average vision, hns been
known. By mot persons, however,
und by many scientist tho total
number of stars in the heavens has
been considered countless, if not lim
itless. The universe is now declared
to be finite, yet of a magnificence of
dimension and of a populousncss fnr
beyond all earlier conceptions. This
assumption is n result of very recent
investigations into tho motions nnd
distances of the stars.
Tho latest studies on the subject of
the number as well as the light of the
stars' host been made at the royal ob
servatory at Greenwich, England.
Tho late Franklin Adams succeeded
in making a set of 200 photographs

The Mctisc line of French forts ox

Parisward from Mctz.
Between Toul and Eplnal tho

tho latter place tbero Is a series pt
forts beginning what Is Known as tho
Mosello lino, which ends at Bclfort,
and commands tho approaches across
tho frontier from Alsaco and through

Tho purposo ot these two lines Is
to deflect possible Invaders through
tho open gap between tho two line
called the Toure d'Kplnal.

counts were made on these pictures,
from which the brightness of the self

cluded that they recorded about C5,

was determined showing the chnuge
of number in nssing from ono mag

Aboluti-ni is on trial. It is pos
sible that tliHryrsr will add no re
publics to llie family of nut ions; hut
it is certain tluvi'tlio monarchies nnd
empires that remain will lie liberal

phants in court". circles; and the right
to declare waKid make peace Kill
not be left to the uliun or caprice of
a single man.
Tudisputnble (Aidonce of the pres
ent trend of political thought is to
bo found in the uttitude of the (ler
mans in this country toward thn war.
A u'rilo race, their national con
sciousness has been ptculiarly awak

years; nnd while they luio been
among thu best of American citizen
they have, nevertheless, retained a
keen interest in the affairs of the
fatherland. Vet, notwithstanding
their strong homo lies, Ihey nro slow
to approve of tho action of the kai

stood as the cinho'dlnicnt of the Her

gularly misinterpreted it, is today
out of touch with Hint spirit. The

It is not unlikely that the spirit of
opposition to tho kaisers course
which has manifested itself in oh-
Mrueting his policies will show ilself
in lukewarm support, if not in open
revolt. Fighting, nfter all, is n mnt
ter of men, and whilo tho organiza
tion und equipment count for much,
(hey stilt rest for efficiency upon the
men. History is full of instances
where men poorly armed, but inspir
ed by n great enthusiasm, have de
feated better armed mercenaries. The
(lenuuii troops nro not mercenaries,
but they nro awnkening to n con
sciousness of n now ideal; and whilu

This is a great opimrliiuity for

riots of 18 IS who flocked to this
country after that unsuccrisful up

will prove themselves worthy repre
