A NEW PRESCRIPTION
“Dip them first in the sea, then,
if love sticks, wed,” is the solu
tion of the marriage puzzle of
fered by a Los Angeies divine,
'the reverend gentleman in ques
toin is Dr. James \v . Brougner.
pastor of one of the leading
churches of the Angel city and
he is anything but the humorist
Ins remarks would suggest.
Indeed, the doctor s quaint
maxim betrays that he is very
much of a philosopher and also
that lie is gitted with a degree of
pentration that hits bedrock
when it comes to sizing up the
marriage problem. Dr. Brough*
er says that he arrived at the so-*
lution of why there are so many
unfortunate marriages while sit
ting on the bench with his friend
Judge Monroe, of Los Angeles,
listening to divorce cases.
“We agreed tint deception was
the root of the evil,” said Dr.
Brougher, “Women marry men
without finding out enough about
them, and, of course, the men
don't want to be found out. Most
of us men have to deceive a w*o
man about ourselves in order to
get a wife.
I advise every girl to have her
father, or brother, or a detective
look up the record of a man she
wants to marry.
Also I advise every man to
take his sweetheart swimming at
one of our ocean beaches- When
she comes up with her hair selek
ed down and the paint washed
off. if he still loves her, it is all
right."
Here is a bit of philosophy
worthy of sober reflection. It
sounds facetious and savors of
the ridiculous but there is, with
in the seemingly humorous wrap
ping, the essence of a great truth.
The good doctor has hit the nail
square on the head when he as
serts that deception is at the bot
tom of the majority of marriages
that turn out unfortunately. It
may be what could be termed
“unconcious deception” but this
does not alter the contention that
deception of some character plays
a part in practically all marriages.
It is as natural to both sexes to
practice deception during the
courtship period as it is
to breathe- Not deliberate
or studied deceptions, as
suredly, but those which are born
of the inherent desire to appear
at ones best before the one it is
desired to attract. Even the most
happily married couples will ac
knowledge- that there were disil
lusiaiuuciUs. following, their mar
riage vows. After the wedding is
over it is mighty seldom; that he
or. she. measures up to the full
eighteen carat standard presented
before the knot was tied. Mary
may be a sloven at heart but one
may be sure that she will appear
the picture of neatness when Jam
ie calls. And it is the same with
the men. Jamie may have been
born with a perpetual grouch but
Mary will never see it in the de
bonair, cheerful fellows, who is
ever anxious to cater to her
slightest whim
Also there are, as the doctor
suggests, deeper, more vital de
ceptions. There are mighty few
men who would dare to bare the
record of their bachelor days to
the gaze of the women they seek
to wed. And there are not a
particularly large number of wo
men w ho would be willing to re
veal the methods employed in
leading the. chosen one to the
altar. Women don't usually have
so many things to conceal as the
men but a very great many have
secrets their husbands never
learn. In any case there are al
ways those little deceptions in
outward appearances. Where
matters of the heart are involved
ninety nine per cent of us are
perfectly willing to put up a
false front.” And it is these
false fronts" that are among the
greatest of the causes which lead
to divorces. In the major num
ber of cases neither one of the
parties to a marriage contract
really know each other until the
honeymoon is over.
Jack could never imagine Jill
■o be other than the complaisant,
befrizzled and becurled "peach”
w hom lie finds in the parlor when
lie calls in the evening nor could
Jill ever believe that her chival
rous Jack had a disposition that
would make a horned toad look
smooth as satin by comparison.
It is not until the wedding feast
is over that these things com
mence to appear for the very sim
ple reason that we all cover up
our faults as far as possible un
til we have gained our heart’s
desire. When it comes right down
to facts there are mighty few of
us who would ever be married if
"e showed ourselves in our true
:olors before the marriage service
was read

who left iioonah in a small boat
fur Juneau recently were caught
in a storm and carried up Lynn
canal as far as Sentinel island and
while vainly seeking shelter from
the storm were wrecked on Auk
Point. All the members of the
party reached shore in safety and
three of the natives walked to
Juneau for assistance (or the

reached Juneau.
The Dawson News of recent
date says that no developments
of a startling nature have been
reported from the new camp on
Isaac creek, which empties into
the Yukon about forty five miles
from Fort Selkirk. In a general
way it is understood that the
creek, as far as it has been pros
pected, shows up satisfactorily.
Pay has been struck in several
holes which have been bed-rock
ed and as there are several boil
ers on the creek some develop
ments may be expect|d before
spring.
One of the signal corps men
on the interior side of the Delta,
divide, who was out on the trail
looking after the telegraph line
after the recent heavy fall of
snow, reported that it took TiTin
three days to make 12 miTes wTth
a horse and double-emler. lie
says that in places he found that
snow had fallen to a depth of 12
feet.
The Copper River & North
western railway has received a
large quantity of ties, which will
lie useu in replacing those on the
Chitina branch. Part of'the ship
ment was on the barge YYashing
ton, which was wrecked last fall,
and as the order had to be dupli
cated, the work of installing the
new ties on the road will not com
mence until spring.
