PROVED HER LOVE.
A Touching and Romantic Tale in One
Chapter.

Chicago Tribune.
''Do you love your Birdie now a;
much as you did last Thursday"
1t was beautiful girl who spoke thest
words, as she leaned her head trustingly
on the shoulder of young man whose
strong right arm encircled her corset.
Your heart must tell You that do,
my sweet" he murmered, folding her
closely to his breast.
.Tukst Mahaiy and George William
son had plighted their troth months age
in the festal Christmas-tide, when the
earth was wrapped in a mantle of snowy
whiteness and the moon looked down,
cold and beautiful, on the thronged
oyster saloons. 1t was now July. The
snow had given way to the violet and
the oyter to the ice cream.
But Juliet's love never wavered. She
had for George calm but intense atfec-
ton that buried all else in its wondnr-
Gus depths. "a true woman never
loves but once, and you are my idol,
she had said to him one night after he
had told her that her hustle was coming
loose. From that moment each under
stood the other perfectly.
"But, George dear" said the girl
again, eff you love me with really and
truly love, kiss me again"
A shudder passed over the young
mans frame, and he changed the subject
of conversation. But the girl would
not listen. "You must kiss me, " she
said, "or you do not love me"
Turning CHASTITY pale in the dim half
light of the turn-down gas, he averted
his head and said in low, choked voice;
II cannot kiss you.
Cannot" shrieked the girl in an
agony of grief, cIinging to him with the
energy of despair, while a deathly palor
overspread her cheek. 'sTeH me,
George, tell me truly, what has come
between us?
For an instant there was silence, and
then George Williamson said in low,
bitter tone, every word falling upon
Juliet's waiting ears with terrible dis

Two minutes after, Juliet came into
the room kicking something along the
floor in front of her.

Children Killed by Rattlesnnkes.

Oil City Derrick
aTbere resides near President widow who
had three children. A few days ago she was
preparing her dinner and had the youngest
child With her in the house. The other two
children we're sent by her to hunt some eggs.
They were both young, and going out Of
the house they saw a hollow log in the yard.
One of them put in her little hand to see il
there were any eggs, but quickly pulled it
out saying a chicken had bitten her. The
other inserted his hand and jerked ii out
with a scream. A rattlesnake had bitten
them both. The scream of the second child
brought out the mother, and lifting a kettle
of boiling POTATOES from the stove 50 they
would not burn, she started out. She had
lust got outside the door when she was re-
called to the house by the agonizing cries OF
the baby, who had crawled across the floor
and upset the boiling water over himself.
She was almost dishearted and did not know
what to do. Help soon arrived, and every
thing that could be done was done for the
three little sufferers, but nothing did any
good. They all rapidly grew worse, and
within q day all three died and were
buried in the same grave. The name we
did not learn, but we are assured that the
above are the facts.

Tancolored loose wristed long un-

One of the new sleeve patterns is

opening in front covered with plated
cloth.
The greater number of basques are
single-breasted, but there is an effort to
restore the diagonal fronts, tapping far
on the left side at the neck, then sloping
away to the right side.
A great many vests are used again,
but these are seldom the whole length of
the front of the basque, but are either
confined to the bust like a plastron, or
else they do not appear at all until the

About Love.

We have noticed That the boy who
is the most afraid of girls is the first to
he "corralled" into matrimony. That
the little boys prefer boys to girls. That
they soon change never to go back to
their early love. That the little girls
love the girls best That they don't
get over their preferences as soon the
bows do, some Of them never. That the
women love men because they love
everything they have to take care Of.
That men love women because they
can't help it. That the wife loves her
husband so we'll that she has no thought
for other men. That the husband so
loves his wife that he loves all other
women for her sake. That the married
man is apt to think himself all-killing
among the fair sex simply because he
has found one woman fool enough to
marry him. That homely husbands are
the best. They neveT forget the com.
pliment paid them by their wives in
accepting them. That homely wives
are the truest. They know how tc
make the most of what they have.
That the man who marries late in life
does well. That the man who marrie'

who marries does well. That the woman
who does not marry does better nine
