the displeased conductor, more

told the stranger that he must put

Mr. Grahanl-Could you not be

When the average American feels
the tightening grip of hard times
accompanying him about, he CON-
mences to economize. First, the
contribution box suffers. He thinks
the heather in foreign climes can do
without instruction "until times
get better" The next blow is at
his minister; he economies vigor-
onsly on his spiritual adviser, and
asuages the prickings of conscience
by d mental promise to shell ont
literally for the church when times
get better. Through all this he
smokes the usual number Of cigars
at the usual price. No economic
ing on these luxuries, you know.
The next point of economical at
tack is the newspaper. If he is
taking two dailies he drops one,
and if one daily he drops to per-
baps semi-weekly, and if a semi
weekly, then a weekly.
Not long ago a man with a 10
cent cigar in his mouth and five
more in his pocket, remarked that
the times were so powerful hard
that he would have to stop his
daily paper and put up with a
weekly. Now, one cigar would
buy three copies of his favorite
paper; but, keep your soul, the
idea of cutting off smoke to gain
literature, was not to be thought Of
for moment. Nobody but a news
paper man, with his own bread and
butter at stake, would suggest such
a diabolical thing.

Join at Once.

A story is going the rounds, says
the Bombay Gazette, which is too
good to he lost. A young sub
lieutenant left his regiment a short
time ago on sick leave, and pnt up
at the best hotel not o hundred
miles from Poonah, where lie was
Immediately smitten by the at
fractions of a lovely maiden who
was staying there. He proposed,
was accepted, and the happy day
was fixed. The colonel, however,
disapproved of sub-lieutenants get
ting married, and particularly Of
the marriage of the sub in ques-
ton. AS he happened to be a
friend of the young mans father,
he thought to prevent the union
of the fond couple by sending a
peremptory telegram couched in
the following words: "Join at
once"
The son of Mars was in despair.
He presented himself before his
intended wife with the fatal missive
in his hand and anything but a
look of pleasure in his counten-
ance; bnt the lady was equal to
the occasion. With a blush of
maiden simplicity and virgin in
nocence she remarked:
"Dear mel I'm glad your col
onel approves of the match but
what a hurry he is in. l don't
think can get ready so soon, but
III do my best, because, of course,
love, the command of your colonel
must he obeyed."
The young warrior was puzzled.
"Don't you see, my darling" he
said, "that this telegram puts
stopper on our plans! ! You don't
seem to understand the telegram.
He says peremptorily, Join at
once"
The lady's bushes redoubled,
but with n look of arch simplicity
she raised her lovely eyes to her
fiance and replied:
Il, 10 you, my darling, sho don't
seem TO understand it. Your col
onel says plainly, Join at once by

A look of intelligence replaced
the air of bewilderment in the
young hero's classic features, and
bestowing a regular fusilade Of
chaste salutes on her rosy lips, he
accepted the explanation, and was
enable to answer the colonel's tele-
gram in forty-eight hours after
ward in these words:
"Your orders are obeyed. We
were joined at once"
