A Lively Expression Of "0pinion. "

The visit Of Mis Raper has been the
innocent cause Of getting some Of the
BA.oo's fair correspondents "by the
ean." We publish the following from

marks of champion" in yesterdays

inclined to believe that NJ. NJ. Il mis-
taken q to authorship. for the com.
munication came to us in our Western
mail, and, contrary to our usual Gus.
tom, was published without the name
of the author, from the simple fact
that We presumed it Was . reply from
Mis- Raper or her friends to the criti-
cism of MAY Myrtle" We hope the
matter will be settled without an ap-
peal to the code, As the BAzOO would
be sorry to lose any gifts gifted writers,

Washington Post
The story of Edison's courtsbip,
while it lacks the roseate tinge of 70.
nance. illustrates the mans faculty
for going to heart Of things with the
smallest possible amount of circumlo-
cution. When he was experimenting,
some years ago, with the Little auto
matte telegraph system, he perfected
. continuance for producing perfora-
tons in paper BY means Of . key
board. Among the young women
whom he employed to manipulate
these machines, with . view to
testing their capacity for speed, was q
rather demure young person who At
tended to her work and never raised
her eyes to tho incipient genius. One
DAY Edison stood observing her % she
drove down one key after another
with Der plump fingers until. growing
nervous under bis prolonged stare, she
dropped her hands idly 10 her lap and
looked up helplesly into his face. A
genial smile, such - irreverent
paragraphists have referred to % ''the
Edison grim" overspread Edieon's
face, and he presently inquired
rather abruptly:
"What do you think of me, little
girl? Do you like me! Don't be in
any hurry about telling me. It doesn't
matter much. unless you would like
to marry me"
The young woman was disposed to
laugh. but Edison went on:
'Oh, l mean it. Don't be in q rush, |
though. Think it over talk to your
mother about it, and let me know
soon - oonvenient-Tuesday, say.
How will Tuesday suit you, next
week Tuesday 1 mean?"
Edison's shop was at Newark In
those days. and one night a friend of
his. employed in the main Office of
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany IN New York, returning home
BY the last train, saw light in Edisons
private laboratory and climbed the
1ingy stains to find bis friend in one of
bis Characteristic stupors. half awake
md half dnaing over some intricate
point in electrical science which was
bafiling him.

Niscsrried Notes.
A young lady gave cher young
man" . beautifully.worked pair Of
slippers. and he acknowledged the
present BY sending her bis picture
incased in q handsome frame.
He wrote . note to send with it,
and at the same time replied angrily
to the oftrepeatcd dun for an unpaid
for suit of clothes. He gave q boy 10
cents to deliver the package and
notes. giving explicit directions as to
the destination Of each. 1t was boy
With . freckled face, and he discharged
his errand in . manner that should
give him . niche in the temple Of
fame.
The young lady received 4 note in
her adored ones handwriting, and
flew to her room to devour its contents.
She opened the missive with eager
fingers. and it read:
I'm getting tired Of your everlast-
ing attentions. The suit is ab-nt
worn out already. II never amounted
to much any way. Please 60 to thun-

Aud the tailor was struck dumb
when he opened q parcel and discover

When the unfortunate young man
called around that evening to receive
the happy acknowledgement Of his
sweetheart, he was very ostentatiously

A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with its sud-
den changes of temperature
wind and sunshine often intcrmingled
in single day,--it is no wonder that
our children, friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from us by neglect
ing colds, half the deaths resulting di-
rectly from this cause. A bottle of Bos-
chee's German Syrup kept about your
home for immediate use will prevent
serious sickness, a large doctors bill,
and perhaps death, by the the use OF
three or four doses. For curing con-
sumption, hemorrhages, pneumonia,
severe coughs, Group or any disease OF
the throat or lungs, It's success is sim
ply wonderful, as your druggist will
tell you. German Syrup is now sold
in every town and village on this con-
tinent. Sample bottles for trial, 10
cts. /; regular size, % cts.
