Speaking of sleighride to Sebewa last
week, the Portland Observer says: Norman
Carpenter and Laura McAllister date their
happiness from Friday evening, after they
had started for singing-school. For some dig
tance the conversation was brisk, until Lauia
became absorbed in looking at figure on the
dashboard, and Mormon in the antics of .
curl that had strayed from under Laura's sun-
bonnet. She was about to allude for the
thirteenth time to the weather, when the fas-
cination OF that curl prompted him to fall ov-
er toward her and whisper in his sweetest
tones, Laura, I'll stump you to get mar
rled." That was poser, but she was equal
to the occasion. A smile wrinkled the cor
ners of her mouth as it came into view under
the shaker, Norm, you dursn't do it,"
Norm. and Laura rubbed their noses together
and turned the horse towards the Rev. Mr..
Aliens. A few moment conversation with
that gentleman sufficed to convince Laura
that Norman wasn't fooling bit. fifty
cent script was pressed into the parsons re-
uctant hand. and the happy pair started
home.

Stories of odd Clo'' men are always in
order-in better order generally than are the
wares of these garment merchants. Here is
true Que of South Boston vender: A young
mechanic saw an overcoat in a secondhand
clothing store, which he thought he would
be glad to possess at a reasonable price.
"How much % he asked. 'Twenty-one dol
lars" was the answer. The usual haggling
took place, and the mechanic started to leave
the store. "How moosh you gif?'' asks the
merchant. ''Three dollars" 'Take it then.
