They were talking of puns, She said when a
man m ado pun he was always proud OF it, but
when a woman made one she had the grace to
he ashamed of it.
He said that woman was justly ashamed of
her puns for they were invariably wretched;
that a woman could semi-annually make good
pun, but she had to bend her whole mind to IL,
and sometimes sit up all night to make it work
smoothly, while man could always make first
class puns offhand.
She said it was no such thing. She could
make as good pun on any word as fast as any
horrid man could.
"Well," said the skeptical wretch, "make q pun
on horseshoe"
al you talk until you're horseshoe can't con-
vince me-" said the feeble-minded woman.
And he died.

The author of "The Bread-winners' has so far
neglected to make use of ingredient, very
popular in modern fiction, which may be termed,
for the want of a more scientific name, "Crushed
double blessedness.' One can scarcely recall a
modern novel in which some unhappy married
man or woman has not sUrutted brief hour on
the mimic STAGE to the disgust of all right-minded
readers 1t is too late in the progress OF human
events to deny that married people do occasion
ally wander from the path they so freely and
joyfully entered upon, and wreathe their second
hand and already heavjly-mortgaged affections
around some unlawful object. That it is So in
fact, is all the more a powerful reason why its
double should be banished from all respectable
fiction. If all writer's who deal with this detest-
able element in novel concoction, would treat it
as deadly viper which should be torn from the
breast in which it nestled, to be thrust into big
trunk and sat upon, while its victim squealed
Justify for succor, the possible affect would not
be so demoralizing; but the wandering heart
is generally portrayed as having, on the
whole, a rather delightful time of it. IL is
pictured as experiencing a variety of pangs, emo
lions, and so Oh, which, although rendering ex
istence burden at times, keeps life from
stagnation; and it is ultim ately rewarded by the
attainment of a bliss not by any means propor-
toned to Its deserts. Inc woes OF bno unhappy
married man are always rendered SO interesting
that mercy Irresistibly tempers justice in his
final disposition. "Anne," "An Echo of Pas
sion" "a Modern Instance" and Through One
Administration" are all among recent novels
which bear the trail of the serpent over them.
CDR. Claudius," too, is family touched with the
same brush, in the person of the Duke, who,
with a well.behaved, because invisible, wife
somewhere IN the background, turns faint and
staggers around little when he learns
that Margaret is to marry Claudius. There
are those who Indignantly resent
the idea that disinterested friendship between
man and woman is impossible 70 such it may
be said that if the men and women who dwell
in the marble halls of fiction are fair samples Of
our best, noblest humanity, such friendships
were wisely maintained by telephone exchange
of kindly feeling. Between the unhappy mar
ried people who caper in fiction, and those, mat
rimonially crushed, who figure in social and
civic courts, the charitabiy disposed observer
has a til rny time of it. However, let us turn
back to "The Bread-winners" and read again of
well-behaved Mrs. Bedding, who sat on the
piazza and slept ana snored while Farnham
looked love and talked nonsense in the moon
light with sweet Alice. Mayhap we may dis
cover symptoms OF a new ''schoop of fiction.

"WHEN will the bankrupt condition of the
city treasury require the issue of time war
rants'?'-The Sentinel.
We can give the date exactly when the
bankrupt condition of the treasury did re-
quire the issue of time warrants, When the
Democrats had control of the city govern
ment, and had spent all the money the Re-
and had exhausted the revenue, they issued
time warrants, which were Endorsed mot
paid for want of funds" and they were sold
for ninety cents on the dollar by the creditors
of the city, who were compelled to take
them at par.

The Man Who Mans.

1t has long been settled beyond doubt that
woman is more ornamental than man. Vigor
and strength in man merit and receive the same
admiration elected by grace and beauty in
woman; and it is therefore, not expected OF him
that he shall study graceful pastures. or seek to
arrange himself in "staihed-glass attitudes"
There are. however, some few positions, granted
him by fortune or accident, in which he barely
escapes being ornamental and may even be
elassed among the picturesque without outrag-
ing the canons of art On horseback for In
stance, man may appear to excellant advantage,
and attract himself all feminine eyes until his
curveting steed has proudly pranced its rider
safely ont of range. blue uniform, garnished
with brass buttons also brings man within the
limits of the beautiful and surrounds him
with glorifylng halo until pa
rade day is over and he becomes
again a private commonplace, monumental
arrangement of long-tailed coat and prosaio
pantaloons. Is it not singular that a being
whose title to ornamental qualities hangs by
such slender thread should ever venture to
trife with that title and make his aesthetic
shortcomings even more than garingly apparent?
Such Jove-defying wretch is the man whonaps.
Gail Hamilton long ago discovered that "men
look better awake than asleep" but the reckless
sex have not protited by that discovery. Man
is the only animal that does not look noble in
repOse, and language stands a crippled beggar in
attempting to picture him asleep, Certainly he
is without vanity he could not resign his
members to such uncouth postures, his lower
jaw to such undignified dependency, his classic
nose to such horrible Yocalism, and his hyacinth-
inc locks to such perpendicular disorder The
want of grace in man, when asleep, is not con-
fined to race, age, color or previous condition.
The man whose mind teens with the lofty and
serene philosophy of Emerson, can snore just as
loud as the veriest ignoramus, and bank presi-
dents have been known to toss themselves into
as wild angles as any despairing bankrupt.
Wide awake, alert and active man is entitled to
his need of praise, and merits our unqualified
Endorsement; but man eoucbant, slumber-tossed.
and altogether unlovely, ia spectacle DER
which the kindly veil of night and darkness
should ever be drawn.

READER, Spencer, Ind: Tastes differ great
as to proper inscription for engagement
ring. If the ring is handsome one your girl
will not care whether there is an inscription in
1t or not; but If you must express your love in
that way have one of the many pet names by
which you know her engraved ON the band fol-
lowed by "ever yours, Reader" or words to that
effect. Or if you should think this TOO risky in
view of possible breach OF promise SUITS extract
brief but tender sentiment from any of the
numerous volumes of amatory poems which you
doubtless have at hand for reference when you
write to her. There are numbers OF such quota
tions which are too sweetlfor anything but mean
nothing in particular and cannot compromise
you. We should be pleased to aid you by giving
list of these, but space and a regard for read
ers who are not in love forbid. There seems to
be difference of opinion as to the proper finger
on which to wear an engagement ring. If
young lady wishes her engagement to be known
she places the circlet on the first finger of her
left hand and wears the hand in the neighbor-
hood of her bangs and without glove. We may
add that all young women of our acquaintance
are in favor of the first finger. Good, but old
fashioned authority, however, prescribes that
| that the engagement ring shall be placed upon
the third finger of the left hand, where it is to
wedding ring. All that is absolutely necessary
for "Reader" to do In a crisis like this is to get
the ring, the girl will take care of the rest

REV. DIR. WALDEN, who has had much to do
with managing the campaign for the pro-
hbition or second amendment in Ohio, in a
public interview expresses the opinion that
300, 900 votes will be cast for that prohibition
on Tuesday, not that it will require 100000 to
carry it, OF the effect of the vote he says:
"The total effect will be better legislation tn an
the State has ever known; and, what is quite as
important better enforcement of the law. The
vote will open the eyes of legislators, politicians,
and all other interested persons to the fact that
very large part of the voting population of the
effective legislation in the interest of temper
ance and morality just put it down that every
vote cast for the second amendment is vote
for better laws, for better enforcement of law,
and for purer public morals"

NOEL, Peru, Ind: The New York society
known as the Soross is an association of women
of literary, artistic and kindred tastes for the
purposes of social intercourse and interchange
of ideas. Its object, as we understand, is to
bring such women together and not for the pro-
motion Of suffrage or other ''strong- minded"
cause, as is commonly supposed; although the
members, being ladies of character and int ELI
gence, may personally favor such movements.
For some reason the Sorosis has been looked
upon with distrust by timid outsiders an in
cendiary or revolutionary body; but, so far as
we are aware, it differs in no material respect,
except, perhaps in point of numbers and wealth,
from thousand other womens clubs in all parts
of the country. The name ''Sorosis," is derived
from the Latin word soror, sister, and in plain
English the society may be called a sisterhood,
the members of which would fraternize if they
were men, but, not being So they sororize.
