Who Started It Going?
To Ihl Ftllor of the eWito PuMlo Ledger:
Kir For iom ten years I lan been a
ituient of science. I have Just finished a
volume by Nietzsche, and while I ran agree
with some of his philosophy. I find the same
objection to his works as I have had with
Otber iCienuna voiiunra. y uu ino Krfai
mortlon of scientists absolutely deny tho
existence of a Creator? Nlefschn says that
this Is an A(e wnen me numan raco no

rainy men. ho like myself, are studying-
the mysteries or we. ana mey au muove
In a Creator
I understand nnd belleo In tho sclentlflo
theory of the solar system, tho formation
of the cartn irom n. naming mass or gas;
the various cycles or stages from Its molten
sUte to Its present form: tho evolution of
man from the lower animals (scientists,
with the exception of one, are silent on the
subject of how Jlio nrst rormea on our
planet): the laws that goern the earth and
the other planets
And after digesting all this Information
I still feel that there tnuit be n Creator

one, without conclusive proof, could toll mo

Contemplating Marriage
Tt the Editor o the Evcninn Public Ledger:
Sir I am cry much Intorcjted In the
Teople's Forum nnd the discussions I have
read there It appears to be a most ex
cellent source for a person to come to for
Information, so I would like to enter n re-
octet fcr a llttto Information I wonder If
mitrlmonlal llfo turns out to be what mar
ried men pictured It to bo beforo they took
the fatal step?
I am "keeping company" with a oung
1107 who has a ery charming personality
snd a young married man friend of tnlno
tells me Im drunk nnd deluded, nnd that
Til sober up some day. This seems strange,
because his wife seems to hiue a snoot dis
position, but he tells mo her disposition li
sweet only In public, and that It becomes
so caustic In prhute llfo that vory often
hs envies the fortunate bachelors.
Further, from his broad experiences and
Investigations, he says that nearly all mar-
rlties are failures and that men gradually
est usod to It, and then tbey cither live on
hope or "dope." or both. "Generally
speaking." ho continues, "woman's chief
pleasure when married Is to hurt her hus
band's feelings by nagging, and If that
doesn't work she lores her tompor, and then
If be tries to calm her the reviles him."
I am getting a trifle scared and would
like more Information about the business
of being married. SAFETY riHRr.

Sir I would llku to have some nUWce
from our readers. Do jou consider that It
is aarnsme 0r necessary for jou to toll a
fir! of your Intentions: that Is, If you are
taking her about to dances, etc , whether
ou should bo fair to her. If 1011 hn. no
ssrlous Intontlons, to tell her so' So fre
quently a girl misunderstands, and I think
It Is fair to both parties to hao a correct
understanding, although I know that the
Question would bo rather embarrassing if
reached by either party. Dut It seema to
ros that If the man wan frank In tha bo
finning, It might aold misunderstanding
In the future. O. W I..

Old-Time Street Cars
To the Editor ot the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir If I am not encroaching too much,
let mo ,lve some recollections ot the past
of tho antique system of street car com
panies which Charles Dickens would have
made nie of.
During tho ear 1SSJ5 and before but
that will sufflco one-horso cars were run
ning downtown 'Hi., driver presented a
ry peculiar figure, especially during the
wln'.iT Months lie had . t1-it -decker
capj and murttr. etc inVd. llm car was
on rll mm;. jitty i,ux n0 hlci (he tas
sengim Oer felted their fares. The lotlom
nf tit j ,'nr wns tike a stable, ccvercd u tt l
straw, of which, on wet or snowy days, the
womrn'H skirts cot the full be.irnt.
Then came thn pair-horse cars, whose
horses on ery hot summer dnj would
kool oxer. Tho car crews would have board
n kind of Iron shoe, or ltld. which would ho
put under llm neir-sldp wheel nd thetcby
ennblo them to pull the car off the track
tc let tl o others pass.
Afterward came the adoption of tho cable
on Market street, which. If if hn.1 ne.n
practicable, would not have brought about
uio oerneai wires. Every now and then
tho cablo would part and then a general
blcck.
Now comes the terrible "Juggernaut,"
as the lain John Lucas ond frleils called
the proposed "trolley." McCluro' Times
printed cartoons of tho troublos which wcie
expected from the adoption of tho trolley
system. Arms, lees and wings were being
tOSSed UI in tllO file I.V Ihl. 1mr.rnBi
Noerthcless, the P. n. T. save us rrpld
transit. It paved our streets, which for-
ineuy wero cobDie etones. without tuttors.
It took us many mllei out Into the auburbs.
It cnused a boom In the building trade.
Many built their homes far out and thereby
got the benefit of good country air.
Not many years ajo manv "fnko suits"
wero put upon tho I. It. T.. which soon
wero knocked out. It was bad enough to
meet with tho many legltlmato suits, nut
to wind up this epistle let these trouble
breeders find some new avocation, so that
tho 1. It. T Co can clvj more attention .to
the public welfare. c J. TIKI.D.

THE LOVE-KNOT
Tying hor bonnet under her ohln,
She tied her raven ringlets In.
Hut not alone in thn silken snare
Did she catch her lovely floating hair;
For, tying her bonnet under her chin.
She tlod a joung man's heart within.
They wero strolling together up the hill,
Where the wind came blowing merry and
chill,
And it blew the curls a frolicsome race,
All over the happy, peach-colored face;
Till, scolding and laughing, she tied them In
Under hor beautiful dimpled chin,
And it blew a. color, bright as the bloom
Of the pinkest fuchsla'e tossing plume.
All over the cheeks of the prettiest girl
That ever Imprisoned a romping curl;
Or, tying her bonnet under her chin,
Tlod u joung man's heart within.
Steeper and steoper graw the hills
Madder, merrlor, chillier still
Tho western wind blew down and plaed
The wildest tricks with the little maid,
As, tying her bonnet under her chin,
Sho tied a young man's heart within.
Oh, western wind, do you think It waa fair.
To play such tricks with her floating hair?
To gladtully, gleefully, do your best.
To blow her against the joung man's breast.
Whoro ho as gladly folded her In,
And kissed htr mouth and dimpled chin?
Oh, Cilery Vanel Tou little thought
An hour ago, when you besought
This country lass to walk with you.
After the sun had dried tho dw,
What a terrible danger you'd be In
As she tied her bonnet under her chin

"NATHAN HALE"
Doomed as a spy so joung, so fair
With fettered limbs and bosom bare,
Ho stood In the crisp autumn air
Beneath tho apple bough,
While round with taunt and rllmld Jest
The llrltlsh redcoats, gloating, pressed.
Hut heaven's bright sunshine crowned and
kissed
Ills calm, unruffled brow.
With patriot spirit kindling high.
And proud dellnnce In his eye.
To Jibe and Jeer he makes reply
(buili words forever live);
' M sole regret us here I stand.
And wait the hangmau's shameful hand,
Is that for my dear natlvo land
I'vo but one life to give."
Tlie deed Is done; his soul hath flowni
And lu! o'er freedom's mountain throne
Another star la luster shone
Adown the grooves of time;
'lo cheer for aye the bruve of heart,
Who spurn oppression's cruel smart.
And rise and rend their chains upsit,

And O Columbia' mother mine,

Long inuy thy navies uneep the bilne,

And when the war drums loudly peal
N'ur doubt nor dungpr canst thou feel,
