A Delightful Epoch.

For six months before marriage
woman is perfectly happy. She
has love newly awakened daily
growing as the weeks run on. She
is looked upon at home as a much
more important person than any
of the other daughters. She en-
joys all the freedom of married
woman, while none ofthe RESPONSE
bilities of a married woman's du-
ties. She is acknowledged almost
en- equal by her father and mother.
She is from under the control OF
her father and mother, and not
under the control of her future
husband. She enjoys for the first
time the intimate confidence of
the man-whO treats her as a
superior, and who defers to her.
She for the first time catches a
glimpse of disposing of an income,
and having her individual taste
held paramount. For the first
time she feels she has lifelong
stake in the career of a man, And
under all and over all, and around
all is her love for him.

The Apache Who Could
Ride A Bronco
From The Arizona Silver Belt.

Tom Newland has an Indian
who placed high estimate on his
equestrian ability. There was
horse to be brought to town a few
days ago, and the Indian was given
the job. He was told he was
"Br0nco but it was "estd 6ateno,
me Sd6e." Hitching the animal to
tree, he carefully placed the
sweat cloth on him; then the
blanket, the bride, and the saddle;
at each performance giving voice to
satisfied "Ah, hail." each ejacu-
lation growing intense, till he got
into the saddle. All this time the
"6ronco. looked as unlike Alexan-
dert he Greats war horse, Bucepha-
lus, as carpenters sawhorse. The
Indian started; he gaind the crest
of the hill where the scrub oak was
thickest; he turned and gave
another "Ah, hail." which was
followed so clearly by whoa" that
it sounded like compound word.
Then something rose few feet in
the air, went back, and rose again.
There was a cloud of dust, a heap
of Apache talk, a flash of bright
colors, and-silence. When Tom
went up, he found the horse graz
ing in the most orthodox fashion.
and strip of white breech clout,
and pair of brown legs surmoun-
ted by red stockings and iron-clad
shoes sticking up from the middle
of scrub oak like new sort of
plant. Tom got him out OF the
brush, and when he said "Ah,
hail." the Inuian looked as though
| he wanted 10 90 on the War-nalh.

Louis Napoleon the SuitOr
for the Hand of Mile. La
fayette.

Writing in the Troy Times, Rev
DIR. Roof relates the following bit
of history given him by Cooper,
the novelist ION an afternoon
in the year 1850, when Louis Ma
poleon was President of France,
and about year before the occur
renee of the famous coup ~ etot,
the writer was at the residence Of
Mr.. Cooper, and while there Mr..
Cooper gave him the following ac-
count of one Of his interviews with
Lafayette: He said that while in
France he called on a certain day
by appointment on Lafayette, and
after the usual greetings Lafayette
pointing to an adjoining room, OBJ
served: who do you think, Mr..
Cooper, l have locked up in yon-
der room p Upon Mr.. Cooper
stating that he was unable to
form any opinion as to the name
of the person thus held in duress,
Lafayette said, 1T is Louis Napol-
con- Mr.. Cooper, greatly surpris-
ed, at once inquired of Lafayette
what object Lewis Napoleon could
have in view in his residence
will you believe it, replied La
fayette, he wants to mary my
granddaughter, and to have me
join him in project to make him
President of France? And upon
Mr.. Cooper's further inquiring of
Lafayette what disposition he had
made of these propositions fLou-
Is Napoleon, the General replied
with much gusto: i told him
that / never interferred in matri-
monial matters, but left the MEM
bers of my household DESTROYS Of
assuming matrimonial relations
to choose for themselves their
partners for life, as was the Gus
tom in America 1t is highly
probable that it was in the spring
of 1892 when Louis Napoleon was
at the house of Lafayette, about
four years before he proclaimed
the revolution at Strasburg, and
about eight years before the revo-
lutionary expedition at Boulogne,
which resulted In his long impris-
onment at Ham. He rust have
reached La Grange in a c!andes-
tine manner, for he was then un-
der the ban OF prescription, as by
q degree of the Bourb0ns, enacted
under the direction of the Allied
Powers January 4, 1926, all mem
bers of the Bonaparte family were
excluded forever from France and
that decree was confirmed by the
government of Louis Philippe,
August "a, 1880, and .reaffirmed
April 10, 1882.

His name was Moses Sparrow
He was very green. That was {
idea which always came into Miss
Pages mind when she looked al
her country landlady's son. Such
a rustic youth, with such fair hair
worn lon such large blue eyes,
such sloping shoulders, such a
lamb like expression. And, be-
ing there at the farmhouse, with.
er she has been sent to spend the
summer months, the city belle re-
solved that she would try her pow
ers of fascination upon the boy,
who struck her as SO good a SUBJ
ject for filtration, in which all of
the fun was to be on her side and
all The sentiment on his. And at
it she went, beginning with a
smile, look, word, and rejoic-
ing to see the fish bite so readily.
She enjoyed herself very much
until she grew tired of it; and
then she decided on breaking the
heart she had won, and enjoying
the crash. So she lured him out
in the garden and made him sit
beside her on the bench under the
wistarias, and said, sadly: "I'm
going home next week. i shall
send you wedding cards when /
am married. | am to be married

ter.' Then she waited to see him
drop at her feet; but he did not
drop. He only said: oval, Pm
