Sum people marry bekase they think wimmin will be scarce next year, and live to wonder how the stocks hold out. Sum marry to get rid of themselves, and discover that the game was one that two can play at and neither win. Sam marry for love without a cent in their pocket, nor a friend in the world,, nor a drop of pedigree. This looks desperate, but it ii the strength of the game. Sum marry in haste, and then sit down and think it carefully over. Sam think it carefully over fust, and then set down and marry. No man kan tell jist what calico had ~" made up her mind tew do. Calico don't know herself. Dry goods of all kinds is the ebild of circamatanoes.—Josh Bill*
