soft brown hair shading her brow.
says: "If fellow is desperately in

serve, they are always successful. "

cred into the parlor, announced his

ON HIS KNEES.

One lady, the wife of a learned
Judge, said: It's eighteen years
since that dear man made fool of
me, and after so great lapse of time
you cannot expect me to remember
how he did it. I'll vow he went down
on his knees; though YOU wouldn't
think it to look at his rotund prepor-
tons; and l was silly enough to be-
lieve every word he said. and when
he declared solemnly that he~would
shoot himself if did not marry m,
of course ! consented, just to save
his life; but I'll not be SO silly an
other time-if he Only gives me the
chance"
Don't believe word of that. "
chimed in the judge from behind his
paper. Il was actually compelled
to ask her 10 marry me, TO get rid of
the trouble of taking her or some
other girl around | saw she was in
love with me, and thought she would
do as well as any other. Now, that
sums up the whole hist Try of this

rsr nsxxsrsrs QUESTION.
TEE THING THAT FEW KNOW.


"How shall a man propose in order
to be successful in his suit ?" repeated
one of our most intelligent society
ladies'. whose silver locks only serve
to enhance the beouty of her still
youthful face. "In my opinion,
though all men know we'll enough
how TO make love- there il not one
in q thousand who knows how TO

months protesting and convincing
me of his love, of which, by the way.

UNEXPECTED VOWS.

Another well-known blonde beauty
who has created sad havoc and had
much experience in this line, says the
only successful way is to propose
when least expected. Allow no time
for consideration. and then Insist that
the acceptance must be now or
never" She feels sure that is the
only way that she will ever be cap
tured, but she thinks very few men
are bold enough to try that game.

One well-known belle and beauty
says that she has had so many make
love to her that she hardly knows
what is the best and most successful
method She was more occupied ia
studying how to prevent an approach
to the subject than in facilitating it.
Beaux were all lovely until they be-
came lovers, then they became bores,
for they moved, thought and talked
constantly of themselves and their
happiness, while she wished to be
thinking of herself and her own hap
piness. Marriage is quite another
thing and is quite easily settled when
one finds a suitable narfnern

this testimony, and declared it competent
testimony. The Court OF Appeals sustains
this view Of the case, and says that state
ments made by witnesses to outside par
ties cannot be heard unless the witness is
present in person. II he is dead his testi.
.mony can not be impeached. The view
OF the case is laid down in a long line OF de-
cisions. Gratis counsel will have thirty
days to file petition for rehearing, and
after that point Is decided the Governor
will set the day for his hanging. The
Court OF Appeals viii adjourn next satur.
day and II a petition for rehearing is filed it
will not be decided until next september
term OF the Court. The Court has given the
case full hearing, and thersis no reason to
fear that petition for rehearing will cut
any figure ID the case. Craft will undoubt-
edly be hung next October. The decision
gives satisfaction. 1t was expected that the
case would be affirmed, as no point was
raised but one.
