Lovely. but Practical.

Roman women are proverbially beau
tiful, and also ally with feminine charms
of no mean order Or great force of
character They move like queens,
with fine broad-shouldered figures and
flexible waists. They do not bend or
wave from side to side as they walk, but
glide along with sweeping draperies like
SO many wandering goddesses. These
physical attractions are accompanied by
a dignified, gracious bearing, and the
noble speech of the Roman woman is
peculiarly fascinating. No one who

TIA r WISH.

1t was easy wishing well
To the merry peal of bell,
Ringing in a bright new year,
Ringing out the old and sere:
And the evil stole away
While the world kept holiday.
If the kindly wish then meant
Just the seasons compliment,
Gaily passed from lip to lip
With the clasp of fiDger-tip,
1t eXhaled in one faint sigh
When the farce had all gone by.
If it were the overflow
From that mystic spring below,
Drumming to the lips with cheer
For the journey of the year,
trimming over cheerlly
Every way in sympathy
1t will send a rill along
Through the twelve months with song,
Even ii the morrow be
Clouded with a mystery;
On through cloud and shine the rlll
Goes its errand to fulfill.
and that errand is to bless
Hardest lives with tenderness:
Bleakest lives that mortal knows
Make to blossom as the rose;
BY the pathway of the year
Rough or smooth. it purleth near.

Difficult LOve-Making,
ROckland Courier.

The boy who sells fruit and confec-
t1Onery on the train is usually vigor-
Gus sort of boy, with an eye strictly to
business, and with no romantic thoughts
running through his active brain. One
of them came very near running the
happiness of two yOuEg souls for life
the other day.
A young man sat in the seat with
a pretty girl, and though the passengers
couldn't distinguish their conversation
from the noise made by the cars, it was
pretty evident that what was being said
was Of great interest to the young
couple.
He was saying, Jennie, darling I
have long been wishing an opportunity
to tell you Of my great regard for"
e" Peanuts?" inquired the fruit and
confectionery boy, thrusting his basket
in front Of the pair.
"No!" exclaimed the young man in
an annoyed tone, and waving his hand
to one side.
AS [ was saying, Jennie" he con-
tlnued, when the boy had passed on,
II have long wanted to tell you of my
regard for you. You are everything to
me, and always in your absence
my thoughts are constantly dwelling
upon"
Nice candy-prize in every box"
interrupted the boy, totally ignorant Of
the interesting conversation he was in
iuring. The young man shook his
head, while the girl looked mad enough
to bite a hairpin in two. When the
boy left, the young man resumed:
Il do not think you are entirely in
sensible to my regard and I feel certain
that you IN some degree reciprocate.
Tell me, darling, if [ have a right to
think you are fond Of
Nice fresh figs, ten cents a" The
boy saw by the countenances Of the
pair that he could make no sale, and
moved ahead with the basket. The
young Ian finished with his eyes the
sentence he had commenced, and wait
ed for an answer It came, murmured
in his ear that no other person might
learn its Importance:
"Oh, Charlie, you've no idea how
happy you make me by your avowal
You know that [ care tor you only, and
that my regard for you is as lasting
as"
"Maple candy-very nice" -said
the boy, displaying tempting array of
delicacy.
"Clear out!' calculated the young
man between his teeth, in a savage tone,
and as the boy cleared out, he turned
to his sweetheart for the continuation
of her answer
e AS lasting as eternity. I have al
ways cared more for you than anybody
else. All our folks say you are Just
splendid, and mother says you are as
good as"
" Pop-corn--fresh this morning"
The young man rose hastily and lifted
the boy several seats down the isle, and
the girl fell to crying in her handker-
chief. The young man resumed his
seat and sat in a moody silence until
the train stopped at his station, when,
in company with the young lady, he
alighted, while the boy, after nursing
the spot where he was kicked for few
minutes: went on with his business, in
utter ignorance of the fact that he had
perhaps broken up most interesting
and happy cOurtship.

LAST year the state tax in New Jersey
for general purposes was i mills, and
the average rate of taxation through
out the state for country purposes lin
Guiding the taxes levied to pay eff war
debit was A mills. Thus the state and
county taxes amounted to 81 mills, or
$33,3O4, 113. In addition, the state col
lected about 100000 from taxes on
railroads, which of course came out of
the peoples pockets ultimately. In
round numbers, therefore, the state
and county taxes footed up 100000,
or about 81 per capita. 1t is proposed
to reduce the tax levy this year by
ST. 100000.

and Mat F. Johnson for attorney, max
ing no other nominations. In this d;-
vided condition no majority was posi-
BILE for any one. All the candidates for
mayor were strong men and personally
unobjectionable, and each had personal
strength. One of the chiefs os police
was the present incumbent, ono IL depn-
ty sheriff, ono IN ex-chief of police. The
result shows divided honors. Repub
licans got the chief of police and fire
commissioner, while the Kearney men
get the mayor and attorney. The vote
was the largest polled at a municipal
election for years, being 1850; whereas
no one had calculated on more than g.
600 being cast. It was the most active
election held here for years. A great
number OF workers were in the fielc, all
busy as bees. aud plenty of enthusiasm
and cheering and many street argus
ments, but general peace and order pre-
vailed. But little drunkenness was oh
servable, and only one or two assault
cases.
Turner's plurality. $50; Stevens, 81;
Buckley's. 1913; Pu;nam's s majority. 397.
Buckley's larger plurality is accounted
for by the fact that is young man, and
the Columbian Club of young voters
traded and went for him irrespective of
all other considerations,

led "Prince Bismark Mother"
in "Tinsley's Magazine:
While pursuing his studies at
Gotting gen.. young Bismark was
invited to q ball, at which the
prettiest girls in town were to be
present, and our young student
ordered pair ofyarnlshed boots
for the occasion.
Asthe eventful day drew near,
and the chaussure was not sent
home. he grew somewhat un
easys the more as his friends
kept. repeating to him, " You'll
not have your boots; the shoe
maker disappoints every one."
"Ill have them in spite of
that" replied the future Chan
cellor.
The day before the entertain
ment, Bismark entered the shop.
My boots?" asks he.

reply, "but [ have so many or

"Ah, is that it?'' cried the flu

the door behind him he leaves

"Well, | swear that they'll

With this he went out again
But a comn,issionaire, paid ad hoe,
was kept stationed in front of
the house, reminding the poor
fellow every minute: do not
forget Mr.. Bismarck's boots"
He had but the night to finish
them. AT 10 o'clock he closed
his shop, resignlng himself to
pass the hours on his stool in
stead ofin his bed.
Suddenly the stiffness is brok-

and the voice Of their master
singing out: "Snob of my soul,

Mrs. Jenks-Yes; we talked about the re-
turns from several parishes-Cdlcasieu. for

turns IN other years.
