HAVO ARES WITT 200 POUNDS » OF HEH FAY Three Baarslags’s Welcome by Eleven Others at Steamship Pier Causes Confusion, SON SMASHES A FENCE. And Angry “Vader” Floors By- ‘His False Teeth. ‘The gross Dutch weight of the Baar- slag family—Papa undt Mamma und Jen undt Heinrich undt Rosa undt Antje-owould easily swing the beam of & hay scales at 1,200 pounds, The eight kin of the Baarslag family trom Jersey City easily holst the total avoirdupois to the 2,609 pound mark. When these and ebulliated about the Holland- America liner Noordam and the Hol- land-America docks in Hoboken to-day King Trouble came out of his cave and barked with glee. Now it happened that Papa and Mamma Baarelag and Daughter Antje were coming from Holland to join the rest of the family in this land af the free. Papa is round as a keg of schnapps of his own diked land and so comfortably girthed that when he walks his cheeks tremble. Mamma is a walking advertisement of the climate of Holland and elghteen-year-old Antj red cheeked and dimpled as a feather bed, gives promise of being a worthy daughter of the Baarslag breed. In anticipation of the coming of the Holland Baarslags to<dey all of the Jersey City Baarsiags trooped to the Hoboken docks, boiling with excite. ment. There were the two elder Baar- @ag sons, Jan and Helnrich—men as pts jas Hereford bulls—and Rosa, the a\d }} daughter, herself a perfect "42" and worthy entrant for the Venus sweepstakes, Besides these were cous- ins and nieces and nophews of the Baarsiags to the awe-inspiring and ponderous number of eight, None of the happy Dutchmen had passes to the customs shed and one daring customs guard at the gate had the temerity to attempt a hold-up of the march of the Hollanders. Jan Baar- slag, who 1s, bearded like the prophet i whose voice booms like a tocsli bawled a simple “Pout,” swept away the guard and led a triumphal proces- sion through the gates into the bag- gage space reserved for the first cabin passengers. BATTERED BOATS AROUSE THE EARS OF WELCOMING THRONG. There were no Baarsiags there. Again Jan the indomitable led a charge; this time up the gangplank to the ship's first cabin deck. The ten other Baar- slag kin thundered and galloped after him. The deck was deserted; all of the passengers had alroady deacended to the plier. Jan's quick eye caught the mpectacle of three lifeboate smashed by the etorm and banging in ruin on their davits forward. Instantly he and all the others jumped to the conclusion that papa and mamma and Antje had been érowned, and that Chief Steward Hooft, who had tried to block their wild rush with soft words, was fooling them. Thrice the 1,400 pounds of Baarslag, uding many young Baarslags, feoursed the sway from ship to @ook and from k to ship, never once pausing to inspect the ond cabin Gepartment in the customs shed. Loud rang the Baarelag lamentations, thun- dered the Baarsiag curses. Sailors were brushed aside as midgets; inno- cent passengers were stepped upon; ship's officers narrowly missed anni- hilation. A conservative ship news reporter put it: “Const jon reigned.” ‘Meanwhile papa and mamma and Antje, bewildered in the second class oustome pen by the failure of any familiar face to appear, had their bag- gage passed and we! umbling blind- ly abows outside the customs gates, searchifg for Jan and Heinrich and Rosa. “Hola!” TEAR THROUGH FENCE BLOCK- ING THEM FROM PARENTS, ‘The bellow came from bearded Jan, who had seen his daddy's tremendous shoulders outside the fence. Jan raced toward the fence, followed by the Baarslag cavalry of children, Jan didn't etop to find a gate. He burst through the fence at a bound, threw great arms about his father, issed him on each globular cheek and pounded him on the back with heavy fists, Then all the other Baarslags trouped through the breach in the fence.

Gen. Don Cipriano Castro, former President of Venesuela, who is among the detained aliens on Billie Island, has turned the tables on the Board of Special Inquiry, which has decreed that Castro should be excluded from the United States as an undesirable, When the three members of the Board, accompanied by two interpreters and an official stenographer, went to the former Dictator's door, this morn- ing, to obtain additional information from him as to the killing of (an. Paredes, Senor Castro went into a fury and omered .he officials from his room. “I will not talk to you-away!” he is reported as saying. ‘Whereupon the General, with a super- human effort, attempted to throw the officials out of his room, but it is said he found them too many. ‘The officials, it Je said, did thoir best to calm the President, but their forts were ineffective, and the General Grew worse and worse. He is said to have reached for his gold-headed walk- ing cane, it is thought with a view t» impressing {t upon some of the offictals. Gen.

So wears she to him,” gives the expia- nation for which men generally ac- cept the difference of a few years in age, which is a characteristic of the average marriage. But I am afraid women choose men older than them- selves for reasons much more selfish and personal, Apart from the eco nomic necessity of selecting a man with a fair earning capacity, an in- telligent girl finds a youth of her own age rather a crude and inchoate prod- uct, and when she {s not intelligent she has at least a precocity about life which inspires in her a good-humored contempt for the slower, less intul- tive and less developed boy. linity in the raw, they perceive good Men themselves admit the crudity of mascu- naturedly enough the coarseness of the green boy, the undiscriminating avidity with which he rushes upon life and love, the greed which defeats its own purpose, just as a glutton does by gobbling so much and so fast that all shades and savors remain undis- covered, ‘Women, even the younger of few men acquire the ability to judge women at all before they are thirty. So I consider the Boston professor's es- timate at least five years too young. But there is a widespread opinion that once @ man has acquired this judicial faculty, he will be disappointed if he marries at all, and this may be why our Boston solentist defines thirty as the “calculating age.” CASE OF A SPARKLING YOUNG WOMAN. Not long ago @ simple, etraightfor- ward young man of my acquaintance took unto himself a wife of the Roman candle variety, @ walking Fourth of July celebration, who sends up shower after ehowsr of sparks, but when the sparks are spent is nothing but @ dead stick, & shallow, ehowy, insincere girl of @ type far too plentiful in big cifles, When some time ago I expressed to @ woman who knew them both a regret that @ simple and sincere being should have married this human pinwheel, I re- ceived this worldly and very wise reply: ‘To marry such a bluff was the very best thing that could have happened to him. A more sincere girl would have to shatter a lot of his young illusions, As it 8, his wife will help him to keep them up.” . Sume men never learn that one ‘women @ifers from Another in Glory. These are always too young women glorious. Though they be lete than twenty, these are far to 014 to marry. Yet, in my opint the coming of age of the heart cannes. be colobwages a4 any Axed Period. Tt varies as individuals we. There are girls who are quite old enough to marry at eighteen, others too flighty and irresponsible for wifehood at twenty-five, Generally speaking, I feel that the choice youth makes for itself ts wiser than any which parental experi- ence can dictate. When everything has been said against the love marriage, the fact remains that {t has provided a rapture unknown to the perpetually tepid associations based on social or financial expediency, The woman who has married for lo Fealizes, even when she faces the divorce court, that whatever she is, she has been blessed. And surely the memory of happy months or weeks or days must @low and sparkle through a eombre Present Uke diamonds set in the black band of years. Even at the rainbow's end the: fe always a rainbow to re shimmer of beauty, @ refrac- tien of sunlight after tears. In the age- M4 quarrel between youth that would make ite own romance and age that Would save it trom itself, I confess that my eympathies incline always to t Rew generation. But there are, doubt- less, many excellent reasons to be urged against giving young love its head, and the views of parents as well as children om thie aspect of the ideal age to marry ghould be most interesting. Does age know as much as youth on this subject? Here 1s @ letter from a mother who ts of the opinion that parents ehowld be able to direct the matrimonial choloe of their children. She writes: CALF LOVE EASIER TO CURE ‘THAN AN UNHAPPY MARRIAGE. Dear Madam: You ask which ts be ter, the American law that permite boys and girle to marry without con- sulting their parents, or the French law, which requires the written consent of parents until @ man is twenty-five. I am oure a great deal of unhappiness woukd be spared young persorfs—giris un- der twenty-one and boys under twenty- five—it they were forbidden to marry without the approval of their fathers and mothers. Now, please do not imagine that I am an old ogre, The wi I feel is that tt is so much wer to get over an attack of calf love than to reoover from an unhappy marriage. You say great men ail married when they were very young. DI@ you ever hear that parody which wa. Wives of great men ail remind us they should weave thes wives at Bema’? The trouble is that if men or women are Permitted to marry before they have @otten thelr mental gro they are selng to feel ait the humiliation that comes from @ disparity of minds and tastes in a very few years. I have & daughter who married against my | Wishes when she was nineteen. To-day | am perfectly certain that the only Teagon she continues to live with her husband {s to keep on proving to me that she was right and I was wrong about him. My daughter ts now twén- ty-seven and 4 very intelligent woman. She has her French classes. She goes to lectures and musicales. Her husband is still exclusively interested in the things which seemed most important to him when he was twenty-one, and these are baseball, neckties and the mental and moral failings of his “boss. He belongs to the large class of men who refuse to think about anything that does not concern thetr own immediate personal welfare. Pubic questions do Rot exist for him. My daughter does not dare to talk to him about anything that interests her. If she venture to show an intelligent interest in anything beyond @ new recipe for noodle sou: iffers intensely from the divorce of all interests save the most primitive between her and her husband.

It was brought by Henry Berghoffer, @ teachor in the primary grade, to compel the Board of Education to promote him to @ higher grade without subjecting him to @ new examination.
