Men who fall IN love Of late get gfieYousy

Five days ago, too, Chicago Daiocr-a
mere shaver, only eighteen years OF age
shot himself in the breast because DIS laoy-
love, with whom be was to spend lhe eve
ming by appointment, strolled OH WIN q
rival and kept the barber for three hours
awaiting her return. He saw the false pair
mart at the gate with q needless perchs-
sion OF lips. and once sought 10
drive out pain IN his own tbrObbing
oG, So did the rival. The girl had
gone OF and returned the barber sun nm

seven DAYS $50. and no farther OF than a
N
love affair tbrived much better. Undaunt-
cd by the truculcnt patTonym OF Corey
horne by the maiden whose pulcnrlluue
had snatteu him, he offered his hand
with A heart in IL for the old mans IN
snection. who proved stubborn. There
unon he hastened home and came Odck
thence with the same hand and gun
In #. prepared to render the sire Inc
most CORY OF CORES II he persisted ~ a
refusal. The lover avowed anew his
honorable intentions. and signihed MS
aim by poDtlng his gun. The mother
steDped inopportunely in front OF the Oh.
durate father and received shot. The ola
man then shot of after sheriff and the
shooter or sutton was arraigned for trial,
which the fair maiden was resolved should
prove a-miss. Called as a witness for the state,
she pleaded difiidence and was permitted 10
retire in order TO compose her feelings. This
she did by going 10 a store near by, where
she met the lover she set store by ana was
married. As the counting was now over,
the Court announced itself as feeling some
what silly and the parents as being salished
with having bullet and Son-in-law IN the
family. 1t will be seen that cartridges are
better than confectionery forthe adjustment
OF domestic uneasiness, and that to shoot
somebody else rather than ones sell, as
did the Chicago barber, is the only way
to secure maiden about whom father
or a rival may yeXatiously linser. In the
last case cited we are told that sat last &c.
counts all parties are becoming recOnciled."
Why mott A lover who fosters evident
scruples against an elOpment, and Is so
vigorously frank and persuasive with
parents whose daughter be adOrcS, Is bound
to command respect; and despite the little
casualty mentioned, it is pleasant to know
that by reason Of the wedlock the family is
less Corey than before.
