HE OUGHT TO GET MARRIED.
| have a little story to tell of Mr..
Ferry, the Michigan lumber dealer,
who presides over the Senate. The
Senator is young, rather good looking,
and is unmarried. He is a member
of the church, President of the Con
gressional Temperance Society, hay
ing taken the placeof Vice President
Wilson, and has the reputation of be-
inga remarkably moral man. have
Just heard a story, however, which
rather shakes my belief in his eXces-
sivc chastity 4 young lady, good
looking, intelligent, and above re-
proach as regards morality, was rid
ing in the horse cars the other night,
with Mr.. Ferry, whom she knew by
sight, sitting r{s els. The Senator
cast several anxious glances toward
her, but received no encouragement,
Singularly enough, the business en-
gagements of the Senator required
him to leave the car at the same time
the lady alighted, The route thence
to her home lay through Il park
which she entered, the Senator fol-
lowing her. In n secluded portion of
the park he ''hoYe alongside" of the
Young lady with "This is a beauti-
ful evening, Miss" "Sir" replied
the astonished and considerably
frightened female. 81 say this is Il
lovely evening" responded the Soma
torial lumber dealer, She stopped in
the walk, hoping that he would pass
on, but he failed to take the hint,
and again obtruded his views in re-
gard to the weather. "Sir," said she,
Indignantly, 81 know who You are,
and if you value your reputation you
had better pass on. If you dare to
speak to me again, will call the po-
lice!" 1t is needless to say that if the
lumber dealer failed to take the hint
he minded the kick. and PASSED on
without annoyipp the Young lady
further.
