THE FATAL MARRIAGE
By DOROTHY DIX
A boy who says
he is eighteen years
old and getting
IJhB twelve dollars a
HQfl week salary, writes
me that he is des
perately in love
with a girl of seven
■Uft teen, and that they
tUV want to marry. And
he wants to know
HH what I think of it.
What do I think
of it? Son, when
there are so many
easy and convenient
ways of committing
IHE3 suicide, such as tak
ing rough on rats, and getting in front
of a trolley car, why do you choose
such a horrible and lingering, and
torturing way of exterminating your
self as an early marriage? Just take
It from me that if you get married at
eighteen you will never regret it but
once, and that will be every day that
you live.
A boy that marries before he has
some to man's estate, before he
knows what kind of a man he is go
ing to be, and what kind of needs
md desires he is going to have as a
man, commits a crime against him
self and against the girl he marries
for which there is no forgiveness
iiere or hereafter. He foredooms them
both to failure and misery, and any
body who has got little enough sense
to even contemplate doing such a
thing should bo locked up by the
State in a nice padded cell until he
recovers his sanity.
Son, matrimony is a man's sized
trouble with which no child has the
itrength to wrestle. Wait until you
jet grown up before you tackle it.
And listen to these words of wis
iom from a judge who has had much
jxperlence in arbitrating the difflcul
:ies between married couples. He
lays:
What a Judge Says
"I find that it is youthful mar
•iages more than anything else that
ill my court. Very young couples
leldom have enough money to live,
lpon, and quarrels begin when the
I'oung husband finds that it is diffi
cult to support his little family.
31ows and black eyes follow.
"Financial matters, however, are
lot the only cause of disagreement
Their Married Life
By MABEL HERBERT URNER
"Warren, aren't we insured? I thought
,-ou had fire insurance on the furnl
:ure ?"
"Have."
"Then why shouldn't they pay for
;hat mattress and blanket?"
"Yes, if you want to admit you were
iucli a blooming idiot as to take an

Helen flushed. "But need they
mow"—
"Now, we'll not try any of your tricks
in the insurance company. They'll get
set the facts, understand?"
The blanket and sheets were ruined

lected Helen.
"How much could we get?" she ven

"Whatever the damage amounts to—
somewhere around fifteen or twenty
lollars."
Fiften or twenty dollars! Helen con
lidered. After all why should she mind
idmitting that to ease her toothache,
ihe had used the electric drop light as
I substitute for a hot-water bottle?
The Idea was at least ingenious.
However, it had been a disastrous
ixperiment for she had awakened to
lnd the bedclothes charred and smol
lering under the electric bulb that she
lad thought so harmless.
"Well, If we make a claim we've got
o make it now. What's the stuff
vorth?" Having finished his breakfast,
barren drew out a notebook.
"Two sheets—how much?"
"I think I paid two dollars apiece;
hey were hemstitched."
The Claim
All right; sheets, four dollars,
31anket, how much?"
"Oh, that was one of the pair Aunt
Smma gave us. I don't know what she

FRIDAY EVENING, &ARRISBURO TELEGRAPH APRIL 24,1014.
. between couples who marry at tender
I ages. There are dissensions among
rich young couples as well as pbor
! ones. If It is not about money, it
is about something else. They are
not old enough nor wise enough to
have patience with each other's
■ faults."
I wish that these words of warning
might be printed in letters a foot
high upon every signboard in the
i country, so that they might always
1 be before the eyes of girls and boys
who have reached the calf love state
of existence where they are apt to
1 mistake a passing fancy for an eter
-1 nal passion, and wreck their lives in
I consequence.
Marriage is risky enough, Heaven
knows, at the best, when people are
! old enough and mature enough to
j know what they are doing, but for
the young and callow it means inevit-
I able disaster. A couple who marry
! before they are twenty take a long
shot at happiness, and it is nothing
I but pure luck if they win out.
There are many reasons why the
I oarly marriage is preordained to fail
ure. The first and most practical
is that matrimony, like any other
venture, has to be adequately financed
to be a success. No boy is able to
earn enough to support a family in
decent comfort,,and when hunger and
cold begin to pinch, and the bill col
lector to hammer on the door, love
packs up its grip and beats it away
from that abode.
The Second Reason
The second reason why early mar
riages are failures is that the boy
husband and the girl wife have not
had their fling. They still crave the
pleasures and amusements that be
long to their years, and when instead
of dancing and frolicking they have
to walk colicky babies, and toil to
exhaustion to take care of a family,
they are dead sure to turn upon each
other with hatred and recrimination.
The third objection to early mar
riages is that youth is unreasonable
in its demands, it is utterly selfish,
and tyrannical, and overbearing, and
both husband and wife demand too
much of each other. Hence quarrels,
and jealousy, and divorce. Age
teaches us patience and forbearance,
and to deal diplomatically with situa-
; "Then we've had them ever since
we're married?"
"But they weren't worn at all,"
hastily.
"Well, we can't claim as new goods
. that we've had three years. Say five
for the blanket. Now the •pillow?" ig
, noring Helen's demur that the blanket
was worth much more.
"Why, we had those pillows made to
order with the mattress."
"Got the bill?"
"I'm afraid not," apologetically; "it's
I been so long."
"Good heavens; can't 1 ever drum it
into you to keep your bills? Keep them
where you can get at 'em, too! Well,
about how much does a good pillow
cost?"
"About—oh, with that art ticking at
. least five dollars."
"And w-e've had over three years use
out ot it—say four dollars for the pil
low and pillow case. Now the mat-
I tress? It'll have to have a new top—
what's that cost?"
i "Dear, I haven't the least-idea!"
I .. ten. Ought to get it done for
that. Now let's see—that adds up to
, twenty-three. I'll put in a claim for
, twenty—that's about fair. Don't touch
the stuff—they'll probably send a man
, up to look at it to-dav."
"What must I tell him, dear?"
Nothing. "He'll ask you what he
. 1 wantsi t° know. A small claim like
> that they 11 allow without much ques-
I I tion.
Although Warren carried both fire
and burglar insurance, this was the
. first accident they had had, and Helen
looked forward with mingled dread and
1 excitement to the coming of the insur-
I ance adjuster.
| He did not come until late in the af
ternoon. A young man. with shrewd
i ■ eyes and an abrupt business-like man
■ nor. Helen led him into the bedroom,
, I where she had arranged the burnt bed
,. *v w 'th the charred spots carefullv
I displayed to tho best advantage.
"How did this first start?" ns he
jotted down some notes,
j Helen blushed.
I She Tells llliti.
I 'I—I had the toothache," with a de
! precative laugh, "and I'd heard some
1 one say an electric bulb could be used
, as a hot-water bottle."
The adjuster stared at her.
! We", that's a new one on me."
; Then as he lifted the pink silk shade
, from the drop light by the bed. "Was
, this the bulb?"
' P, ele ,? nodded, her color deepening.
| I should call that a prettv danger-
I our experiment," drily. "We really
shouldn t have to pay this; kind of a
loss, but since it's a small claim I'll
allow it.
"I'm sure Mr. Curtis wouldn't wish
1 Y ox { .° A"pw it If it's not regular." re
torted Helen stiffly, resenting his pat
i ronizing tone.
"Oh. that'll be all right: tell vour
husband to send around his policy,
and we 11 endorse the claim. Only
hereafter." with a twinkle, "I'd recom
mend the hot water bottle as safer."
\\ hen Helen showed him to the door,
she tried to imply by her frigid "good
~ t r P, oon , that she disapproved of his
slightly facetious attitude.
. . star l£ (3 tO . P ut away the
burnt bedding. The sheets would do
for the ironing board, she reflected,
rhey might even be cut down for the
maids bed! And the blanket? She
ran out to Nora s room and found that
the burnt side of both the sheets and
( blanket could be cut off and still leave
, them wide enough for her bed.
I And the mattress—after all 'would
.It need a new top? She was almost
I su / e she could get that same tick Im'
| at Warner s, and by matching the
stripes a patch would hardly be no
i i!_ ce . j the pillow—she could patch
that in the same way.
The joy of getting something for
nothin- is strong in every woman,
! and Hplen was no exception. And
. now the thought that she was get-
I ting twenty dollars to buy new bed
ding, while she was able to make such
i use of the old, was
highly gratifying.
I . ...£* erl ¥ . s , he c° lln ted over the possi-
I bilities of the twenty dollars,
j She could get the two sheets for four
: dollars—for less If she waited for a
sale. And the blanket—just last
week she had seen one of those pale
blue l'rench blankets, so much more
attractive than this old-fashioned,
pink-bordered one, for eight dollars.
, That would be twelve, and the half
yard of ticking to patch the mattress
and pillow would be fifty cents. She
would have over seven dollars left!
Helen was jubilant. It was a most
1 satisfactory deal. The thought that
, it was not quite a fair one to the in
surance company did not trouble her.
for had not Warren made out the
.claim? And he always leaned back
wor»*v.
She was still planning what she
would buy with the seven dollars when
Mrs. Stevens came. Helen had
phoned her of the accident that morn
t Ing. and now with keen feminine in
! terest she had stopped by to talk it
j over.
"Not l-*.n«ii|th
Again Helen displayed the burnt
I bedding, and told of the cl H ltn of
twenty dollars which tho ad luster had
just allowed.
' "Twenty dollars! Is THAT all von
! asked for?"
J "Why, I can fix up the things for
tions that youth treats with brutal
and fatal directness.
The fourth reason why early mar
riages are almost sure to bring mis
ery instead of happiness to those who
contract them is that no boy's or girl's
character is formed. At eighteen and
twenty-eight our tastes are no more
the same than if we were different
persons and the man or woman we
fancied ourselves in love with in our
salad days fill us with weariness and
repulsion when we have reached ma
turity.
There are foolish sentimentalists
who advocate early marriage on the
ground that a young couple will grow
up together. This is a fallacious hope,
for not one time in a thousand does
it happen that a boy and girl develop
along the same lines. Kither the hus
band outgrows the wife, or the wife
outgrows the husband, and there is
left that hideous death-in-life of mat
rimony where the superior one must
ever drag about with him or her the
corpse of love.
liook About You
It is true that not all youthful mar
riages end in divorce, but practically
all end in estrangement. If you will
look about among your acquaintances
you will find that in almost every
'case where the husband is openly or
secretly unfaithful to his wife, or
where the wife cares more for the
admiration of other men than she
should or where the couple are
frankly weary of each other, that
they married young.
No, son, don't marry when you are
eighteen. Wait until you are twenty
eight and then take time to think
it over. Wait until you are able to
supp6rt a wife. Walt until you know
just what kind of a wife you want,
and then pick out some woman who
already comes up to the specifica
tions, instead of marrying a chit of a
girl of seventeen, who may be what
you want, and may not be. Anyway,
you have to take enough chances on
the woman you marry, without tak
ing any chances on the sort of a man
you may become.
There is no use in being !•» such a
hurry about running your head in the
matrimonial noose. For when you are
married you are married a long, long
time. And sometimes it seems longer.
less," explained Helen. "I was just
counting it out."
"Well for small claims like that
everybody asks the full value. That
mattress alone is worth thirty dollars.
And you could say you couldn't match
the ticking, that you'd have to have
your whole set —box springs and all
recovered."
Helen looked puzzled. "But X don't
think they would have allowed any
more."
I ' Oh, all the companies expect to
pay big for small accidents. That's
their best advertisement. You re
member that centerpiece we burned?"
Helen shook her head.
Helen IN Depressed
Oh, no, it was the Thurstons. Well,
Henry overturned a candle and burnt
a hole in that Milan centrepiece—and
clear through the table-cloth. I put
in a claim of twenty-five dollars, and
they paid it without a word. The
centerpiece cost eighteen and the
cloth seven, so you see I got full
value. And the table-cloth is just as
good as ever, the patch will never
show—a centerpiece always covers it."
The elation that Helen had felt
over the twenty dollars was now
somewhat dampened. Should they
have asked for more?
At dinner, she repeated to Warren
the story of Mrs. Stevens's claim of
the tablecloth that was practically as
good as ever, and for which she had
collected full value.
Warren lay down his fork with a
snort.
"Well, you're a FINE lot! Jove, X
don't believe a woman knows what
business honestly means. I'd trust
the crookedest man I know a darn
sight quicker than I would you or
any of the bunch you run with. Over
value a measly claim for the sake of
a few dollars—eh?"
"But, dear, if everybody does it,"
faltered Helen, "doesn't that make a
difference?"
"How? A thing is worth what it's
worth, isn't it? If you swear 'to a
false valuation, you're committing
perjury, that's all. But I don't sup
pose that would phase you. By
George, if they ever get you on the
witness stand with a sharp lawyer
you'll be shown up, all right!"

STEADY READER.
There is no excuse for her silliness

In that she did wrong.

CHARLES DICKENS
The influence or Charles Dickens
upon modern literature is so evident
and plain a fact no one thinks of dis
puting it. Educators now see the
value of the study of Dickens in
schools.
The name of Charles Dickens has
been so long before the world one is
apt to think of him as having lived
many, many years ago, contempora
neous with Shakespeare, perhaps, or
Milton, whose classic writings are ap
preciated only by the well educated or !
the highly cultured. This impression I
arises from the fact that one scarcely I
meets a person prominent In public 1
life—an educator, a lawyer, a judge,!
a minister —who is not familiar with
the writings of Charles Dickens. No I
library is complete without Dickens. I
Even an accumulation of books not
dignified by the term "Library" must:
have Dickens.
. An impression exists among some 1
that the works of a great author are
difficult to read; an uninteresting task. 1
Nothing could be further from the I
truth. Great authors are the most easy
to read, for their writings contain the
greater truth. The simplicity of truth
has given rise to this misconception.
True, appreciation comes from knowl
edge, and the greater the knowledge
the greater the appreciation. To ap
preciate an author's works we must
know the author and understand his
philosophy. A cultivated field yields
the greater product; so a cultured
mind manifests the greater apprecia
tion.

Plant and Causes
Trouble
Special to The Telegraph
Hershey, Pa., April 24. —Last even
ing at 5.30 the entire community was
aroused by the blowing of the lire
alarm on the Hershey chocolate fac
tory whistle. The engine room of the
main power plant was completely de
stroyed and as a consequence the en
tire town In without electric power.
Not a single trolley car U able to
move. The dynamos and switchboards
were damaged and the building, which
was one of the first ones to be erected
and was constructed of wood and tar
paper, was entirely destroyed. The
boiler room and the other buildings,
which are all constructed of solid con
crete, were not affected. The origin
of the fire and the amount of the total
loss cannot be given at this writing.
A call for help waa sent to Lebanon
and in a very short time the large
auto hook and ladder truck arrived
from that city, but its services were
not needed, as the Hershey Volunteer
Fire Company and the hundreds of
the plant's employes had the fire un

Morris Hinkle, a foreman In one of
the rooms of the plant, was overcome
by smcha and had to be carried out
of the building. He received medlaal
attention and is out of danger.
