A cold-blooded exchange tells of an
incident which occurred in Reading the
other day. A prim spinster. who still
had hopes" was reading the daily pa
per, when her eye caught sight of the
head line "Last day for Proposals. !"
With shrek that came within an ace
of rending the skies, she toppled off her
chair, knocking over her toilet table,
and destroying the box in which she
kept her bushes. She kicked around
the floor at an amazing rate, and brought
everybody in the house to the room.
Her signs of relief upon being told that
the article referred only to proposals for
furnish ing coal is likened to the noise of
q . eamboat blowing of steam.
