A queer case has just come to light
In Chicago. A young man spent an
evening with his girl and during the
evening, while the family was present
in the parlor, he was as demure and
bland and ohild-like as could be wished.
The mother came into the room after
the family had retired TO get hand.
kerohief she had left and the Young
man was seated in n chair In the midi
die OF the room, while the girl was
seated on the sofa, and nothing that
the mother could see in the actions OF
either led her TO think they were
moresthan passing acquaintances. IL
seemed to her as though the young
people had met before, but there was
evidence that they were very well ac-
quainted. All night, after he had
gone, the girl complained of a pain in
her side, and in the morning a doctor
WAS called, and he found that two of
the girls ribs were broken. How IL
was done nobody knew. The Girl
could not tell for the life of her, though
she blushed when asked about IL. and
the mother looked very wise as she
looked at the doctor. The doctor made

cover.
That evening the young man called
and was astonished when informed Of
the extent OF the girls injuries, and
wondered how IL could have hap.

his face close as he spoke and detected
not oply q blush but profuse per

girl once herself, and though she had
never had any ribs broken she had
been Rugged some. 1t was trying

was away on trip to Wisconsin and
when he came home the matter had
to be explained TO him. He was told
that the ribs just simply broke them
selves, and that neither the mother
nor the girl nor the young man
could account for II, aud yet all
three Of them blushed terribly. The
father patted his girl on the head, and
told her she would be better when she
got over it, and then called the young
man into the library. The young man
was so weak he could hardly walk
and when he sat down he took out his
handkerchief and mopped his brow
and wished he was dead. The father
looked the young man over and was
sorry. He finally said:
young man, guess can give you
a few points on hugging. You must
first learn that a girl is not con-
structed on the same prin-
ciple OF an iron fence or truss
bridge. A girl is delicate piece OF
mechanism, like fine watch, full OF
little springs, wheels, Jewels, etc. The
breaking ofany one of these would
cause her to cease keeping time and
necessltate her being taken to Jew
eler for repairs. In bugging girl
you don't want to go at 1t us if you
were raking and binding, or catching
sturgeon. j know that where the
family sits up late with a young couple
and spOils several precious hours OF
huggiBg, that unless the young man
has good head, when left alone with
the object OF his affection, he is liable
| to overdo the matter and try TO make
! up for lost time. He seems TO want
to hug up a lot ahead, and grabs the
girl as though he wanted TO break her
/ in two. This is wrong. You should
go at it calmly ard deliberately, even
prayerfully, and be as gentle rs though
she was an ivory fan. The gentle
pressure of the hand that girl loyes
