HARD TO PLEASE.

business man, and when Pitts goes in
to store he always gets the lowest
cash price, aud he says swell, III

Pitts like all fast men is partial to
women.- and young ones in particular.
Now quite lately, Pitts said to himself :
II am getting along rather in years,
and guess I'll get married."
His business qualities wouldn't let
him wait, so of he travels, and calling
upo a lady friend, like to know what
she thought about his getting married.
"Mr. Pitts that is an affair in which 1

Pitts, "you are interested and my dear
girl, will you marry me ?''
The young lady blusEed very red,

morally, financially and politically of
good standing in society, she accepted
him whereupon the matter-ot fact

A WARNING TO WIDOWS.

The Stark County (Ohio) Republican
says: "Judge Slower, of this State, has
decided point in a recent will case,
which is of interest to wives in general,
and widows in particular. He holds it
to be the law that man may leave his
property to his wife with proviso that
she forfeit her right to it in case she
marries second time, and that the
court has no right to interfere with this
provision. A restraint of this kind
made to single woman would be as
null and void, but If a man makes de-
wise TO his wife, conditional that she
shall remain his widow, it shall be void
if she marries.
She takes the estate con amore, and the
law presumes, in that class of cases,
that one husband is enough for the la
dy, and If she chooses to enjoy q second
matrimonial union she does it at her
own risk, and is remitted to her dover
and such portions Of her personal pro
perty as the law gives her. This deci-
sion gives husbands sort OF control
over their own widows that will add
force to the reasons that usually oper-
ate to prevent second marriages. 1t is
a principle, we apprehend. that will,
some day, receive due attention and
sharp handling from female reformers.

A STORY FROM PARIS.

A Paris letter tells the following sto-
rp of a Twelve Night Fete in that city:
A wealthy family in the aristocratic
boulevard Malesherbes, were amusing
themselves in seeking the kings portion,
or the ring in the festival cake, when a
lady of the company says to the hostess.
"I wish my portion to be given the
poorest little boy we can find in the
street" The servant was dispatched
on this freezing night, and not far from
the house he found ragged urchin,
trembling with cold and hunger. He
brought him up, an ordered him into the
gay saloon where thousand ligts gilt
tered, and sparkling fire gladdened the
eyes of the poor little fellow. Dumb
founded and surprised, he drew the por-
tion which the benevolent lady promis-
ed, and, as luck would have it, the little
fellow found the ring, (beans they us e
in Paris instead, and of course he was
king" They all shouted out that being
king he must chose queen. He was
asked so to do, and looking round the
company he chose the very lady who
had proposed to cede her portion of the
cake. He was asked why he chose her.
He said, II don't know ! she looks the
most like mother!" another ! whose
mother?" "My mother l never knew
her, but was stolen away from her, and
here is her portraits" With this he
drew out of his tagged coat likeness.
which proved to be that of the very lady
herself, who, in Italy, had her child
stolen from her, and now he turns up a
poor, little ragged Savoyard, dragging
along miserable existence nn Paris,
while the mother, by an intuition, per-
haps, felt that in the air near to where
she was, was one so dear to her.

OLD TIME WINTERS.

In 1864 the cold was so intense that
the Thames was covered with ice 81
inches thick. Almost all of the birds
perished
In 1851 the cold was so oppressive
that the famlshed wolves entered vi
emma and attacked beasts and even man.
Many people in Germany were frozen
to death, in 1896 and the winter os 1890
and 1899 were nearly as bad.
IN 1903 occurred that famous win
ter, called By distinction "the cold
winter" All the riversand lakes
were frozen, and even the sea for sew
eral miles from the shore. The ground
was frozen nine feet deep. Birds and
beasts were struck dead in the tields.-
and men perished by thousands in
their houses. In the South of France
the wine plantations were most all de-
stroyed, nor have they yet recovered
from that fatal disaster. The Adriatic
Sea was frozen and even the Mediter-
ranean, above Genoa, and the citron
and orange groves suffered in the fin
est parts of Italy.
In 1746 the winter Was so intense
that people travelled across the Straits
from Copenhagen to the province of
Senia in Sweden.
In 1929, multitudes of cattle and
sheep were buried alive in the snow
in Scotland.
In 1740 tie winter was scarcely in
ferior to that of 1909. The snow lay
ten feet deep in Spain and Portugal.
In 1744 the winter was very cold.--
Snow fell in Portugal to the 6epth OF
% feet on level.
In 1854 and IS the winters were very
severe and cold. In England the
strongest ale exposed to the air in aglass
was covered in fifteen minutes with ice
one-eighth of an inch thick.
In 1771 the Elbe was frozen to the
bottom.
In 1776 the Danube bore ice five feet
below Vienna. Vas: numbers of the
feathered and finny tribe perished.
The winters of 1884 and, Sj were un-
commonly cold. The little belt was
frozen over.
From 1900 to 1872 also, the winters
were remarkably cold, particularly the
latter, i'm Russia which proved so dis
astrious to the French army.

KEEP THE BIRTHDAYS.

Keep the birthdays religiously. They
belong exclusively 80, and are treasured
among the sweetest memories Of home.
Do not let anything prevent some tok-
en-, be itsever so light, to show that it is
remembered. Birthdays are great e.
vents to children. For one day they
feel that they are heroes. The special
pudding is made expressly for them; a
new jacket or trousers with pockets, or
the first pair of boots, are donned; and
big brothers and sisters sink into insig-
nilicance beside little Charlie who is
''six to-day" and is soon ''going to be a
man." Fathers wlFo have half a dozen
little ones to care forfare apt to neglect

How 70 KEEP FRESH MEET.

Steak (pork and beef,) sarlsagcs, pud-
dings, etc., can be kept fresh Che year
round, by frying and seasoning when
fresh, the same as for the table, pack :. !,
ing down in crooks or lard cans, and
pouring hot lard ever them, covering
about one iach. When needed, scrapo
of the lard and heat through. This is
valuable information to farmers and
others, who kill beef and dispose of a
portion at low rate, and then are UNI
able TO procure fresh meat during the
summer. Those who have adopted this
plan assert that it is impossible to de-
tect any difference between the pre-
served and the recently prepared
meats.

AN INDIGNANT WOMAN.

Some ''horrid wretch" having ven-
tured on the opinion that "a woman
who loves unsought, deserves the scorn
of the man she loves" is shot dead by
the following from a lady correspon-
dent:
"Heaven forgive me but may the
man who penned that never see another
bonnet! May no white dimpled arms
ever encircle his cravat, or buttons vege-
tate his shirt. May no rosy lips ever
press his moustache and the fates grant
that his dicky strings break short off
every morning. May no Woman's heart
ever learn to beat faster at the mention
of his name, and may his stockings al
ways need darning."
And when his nerves are unst.ung by
disease, and his head throbs with pain,
as though an earthquake were brow
ing in it, may he have nothing in his
sick chamber but boot heels, and see
not one inch of muslin or crinoline.
Give her love unaskedI o, with true
hearted man this would, methinks, be
the reason of reasons why he should
love her. She gives to him her whole
heart, tor in those things woman does
not work by halves; not from gratitude
because he loves her; not from pity or
charity, because he has begged it of her;
but because-because dear me it will
take more of philosopher than am to
account for the undeniable fact that
woman do sometimes love the horrld
creatures called men,"

THE TRUE STORY OF CINDERELLA.

The story of Cinderella is familiar
to every one, and yet there are few who
| treasure it up in every respect true.
| But it has a foundation and reality
that really needs no fairy god-mother
with her pumkins and her rats to make
an entertaining tale. 1t is as fol-
lows:
In about the year 1879 French ac-
tor by the name of Thevenard lived in
Paris. He was rich and talented, but
he had no wife, aud wess ssmay believe
he had never loved any one, but gave
all of his affection to those ideal charac-
ters he could represent SO finely on
the stage. One day as he was walking
leisurely along the streets of Paris, he
came upon a coblcrs stall, and his eye
was attracted by dainty little shoe
which lay there waiting repairs. His
imagination began Immediately to
form the little foot that must fit such
little shoe. He examined it we'll but
only to admire it more and more.
On going to his own house he SEEM
ed haunted with the little siFoe. He
fancied it tripping over his floors; He
could hear the music OF its tread-in
fact there was nothing among all his
rich elegant. treasures that seemed to
him hnlf so beautiful.
He went to the stall of the cobbler
again, but could learn nothing in re-
gard to the owner of the little SHOE
This only increased his eagerness, and
made him more determined to know
to whom it belonged. Day by day he
was disappointed, but he was not dis
couraged. uL0.
At last the little foot needed the lit
tie shoe, and Theyenard met the own
er, a poor girl whose parents belong
ed to the humblest class. But the ar
dent actor thought not ofeast or tami-
lyf his heart had already pronounced
the little one his wife. He married the
girl with no question of what people
mighs say, and felt enough of Joy in
hearing the tread of the light, rilmble

CUT THIS OUT.

The Mercantile Times gives Che follow
ing seasonable rules for young men
commencing business:
The world estimate men by their sue
cess in life-and by general consent,
success is an evidence of superiority.
Never, under any circumstances, as
sumo responsibility you can avoid con-
sistently with your duty to yourselves
and others.
Base all your actions upon princi-
pie of right; preserve your integrity OF
character, and, in doing this, never
reckon the cost.
Remember that self-interest is more
likely to warp your judgment than all
other circumstances combined; there
fore look well to your duty when your
interest is concerned.
Never make money at the expense of
your reputation.
Be neither lavisiAng or niggardly.-
or the two, avoid the latter. A mean
man is universally despised, but public
favor is stepping stone to preferment
therefore generous feelings should be
cultivated.
Say but little-think mnch-and do
more.
Let your expenses be such as to leave
balance in your pocket. Ready mo-
ney is a friend in need
Keep clear OF the law, for even if you
gain, you are generally a. loser of mo-
ney.
Avoid borrowing and lending.
Wine drinking, and cigar smokingsare
bad4n1bits. They impair the mind and
pocket, and lead to u waste of time.
