the election is over let everyone give

matters, which pay infinitely better
than politics. The winter is coming
On, and we should strive to do our ut

actually used in current expenditures

WHY People Get Married,

Though it is very common to re-
proach old bachelors with their cell
bacy, and to pity old maids as if ''single
blessedness" were a misfortune, yet
many married people have seen fit to
offer apologies for having entered into
what some profane wag has called the
"holy bands of paddock" One man
says he married to get a Eousekeeper;
smother to get rid of bad company.
Many women declare they get married
for the sake of Il hcme; few acknowl-
edge that their u olive was tc get a hus-
bald. Goethe sverred that he got
married to be respectable" John
Wilkes said he took a wife ito please
his friend" Whvcilerly, who esEoused
his housemaid. said he did it "to spite
his relations A widow, who married
a second husband, sad she wanted
somebody to condole with her for the
loss of ncr first. Another. to get rid
OF incesssnt importantly from a crowd
of %suitors. Old maids who get married
invariably assure their friends that they
thought they could be more useful" as
wives than as spinsters. Nevertheless,
Quilp gives it as his opinion that nine
tenths of all persons who marry.
whether widows or widowers, virgins
or bachelors, do so for the sake Of
getting married.-Erchangs.

Worse Than MOrniOpism.

"Talk about Mormonism, said Bull
ger; Il don't see what right people
have to howl about it when such things
as this are permitted in Pennsylvania"
and he pointed hi, finger to an item in
the paper he had in his hand.
"What is it," inquired Sucker.
"Why, here it tells of one man who
has married no less than 1900 women"
"1ncredible."
"But it is so. His name is Mayes,and
he marries a new woman every few
days, and yet the authorities don't in
terfere."
Horrible! How does he evade the
law
"He doesn't evale it. He is a Justice
of the peace. and his place is a sort of
Gretna Green for Ohio aud West Vir-
ginia runaway couples"
ooh" said Sucker, ard then went off
muttering something about people be-
ing too smart.-Teras Sittinys.

Row Lolita Began.

In the tumble-down district of San
Francisco, known as Chinatown, is a
cute-!ooking, though somewhat dilapi-
dated cottage, which is pointed out to
visitors as the former home of Lolita,
the bright and vivacious little actress
who is now winning laurels on the Lon
don stage. An old lady who was next
door neighbor to the Crabtrees will sit
and talk of them by the hour. She
says "Old Crab," as Lotta's father was
familiar'y called, kept q music hall
down town, that was largely p~atronized
by miners and prospectors during Cali
fornia's golden days. During the after
Moons and evenings musical and variety
entertainments were given on the stage
in one end of the hall or saloon. On
one occasion the star ran off to the
mines with her lover, which broke up
the show. Little Lolita was then act
ing as waiter girl, carrying drinks to
the rough miners and assisting her
father in every way she could. The old
man on this occasion was away down in
the mouth. His patrons were clamor-
ing for the show to begin and threaten
ing to clear the ranch if he didn't trot
out a singer. In the midst of his dis
tress, which he had Intellectually tried
to drown with copious draughts of
whisky, Lolita beckoned him back to the
stage entrance and said: I'll do it,
dad, if you'll let me-" He told her she
couldn't, and she went away in tears.
In a few minutes, however, the fiddler
appeared, the bell tinkled and up went
the curtain. There stood Lolita, in her
fault!essly neat barmaid dress, all con-
fused, and just on the point of bursting
into tears. The crowd yelled and
stamped, the fiddler threw his whole
weight onto the ~horsehair, and Lolita
sang and danced as had never been
done there before. The men applaud
ed stamped and howled, threw their
hats on the stage ard pelted her with
gold pieces and bags of dust until she
was worth 500 or more. They would
not be satisfied and c..amored for more
and more until the little lady was com-
pletely worn out. From that night on
"Old Crabs" place did the business,
and had he not allowed her success to
turn his head he would have made a
fortune. But the more he made the
harder he drank, and finally took to
abusing Lolita and her mother and at
last died despised by all who knew him
except his abused child. She then start
ed out and made her own fortune.
