The Journal begins to turn up its toes on
libel suit In reference to the bringing of
it. it says: "Mr. Blaine was surrounded
with difficulties which can only be family
imagined" In other words, he knew that
be was bringing the suit for political effect,
and knew that If called for trial he would
have to dismiss it. The difficulty which
surrounded him" was how he could make
the most capital out Of it and yet keep from
exposing the sham until after election.

In less than FIVE minutes they were
once again knocking at the cottage
door-but to their surprise it was not
opened.
A tiny window at the left was push

the fair Augusta, shriller and sharper
than ne could ever have believed posi-
bic, out-shrieked the tempest.

Quarter to Twelve

A somewhat romantic story, in
which well-known young lady who
resides il the Eleventh Ward, and
whose first name Is Hermie. is the he
roine, and young man named John
is the hero. came to the ears of the
Pittsburg Leader reporter. The lady
referred to is now married, but at the
timo the story opens, on last New
Years eve, she vas blooming maiden
whose affections up till Ii o'clock of
the night in question were unpledged
to any person. The story goes, and
its authenticity is guaranteed by SUISSE
quent occurrences, that the young lady
had made q remark shortly before the
Christmas holidays that any young
man of her acquaintance who at q
quarter to II o'clock on-the night of
December 81 would make proposal of
marriage to- her, she would accept.
When she made the remark in the
ances she was under the impression
that she never would have to make
good her promise, as she had not the
faintest idea that any person would be
visiting her house at that time of
night. The remark made by Miss
HerInie came to the ears of two or three
young men from different sources.
They did not acquaint each other with
their Intentions, but they must have all
been Of the same mind, as $50 o'clock
on the evening in aues ton found three
Of the maiden's admirers in the parlor
Of her home. During the casual con-
they had among themselves.
they found they were all there for the |
same purpose, namely, that of remain
ing till 11:45 O'Clock, and then propos-
ing to their young hostess. She knew |
If this, and was in dilemma as to |
how to act, but plan occurred to her,
and she determined to state it to the
Toung men; SO she arose in their
midst. and with sweet SMILE all the
while. said: "Gentlemen, am aware
IF the object of your visit here, but as
can't accept all of your offers of mar
.iage, the best way you can do is to
match pennies, and the winning one is
Q remain here fill the time comes for
making the proposal, which said
would accept" This plan was carried
,ut, and John was the lucky one. and
It quarter Of an hour before the bic
,ell rung out the old and in the new
ear he proposed, was accepted, and
ust little over two weeks ago John
nd Hernlie were married, the two
oSers of the penny matching game
citing as the best men.

"A Fatal Mistake.

II
A rigorous divorce law will hinder
women from the fatal mistake of mar
rying men to reform them. IF n young
man of IS years of age, or so years Of
age, has the habit of strong drink fixed
on him, he is as certainly bound for a
drunkard's grave as that the train
starting from Grand Central depot at
8 o'clock tomorrow morning IS bound
for Albany. The train may not reach
Albany, for it may be thrown from the
track. The young man may not reach
the drunkard's grave, for something
may throw him off the iron track Of
evil; but the probability is that the
train that starts tomorrow morning at
s o'clock for Albany viii pet there,
and the probability IS that the young
man who has the habit of strong drink
fixed on him before % or so years of
age viii arrive at drunkard's grave.
She knows he drinks, although he tries
to hide It BIZ chewing cloves, Every
body knows he drinks. Parents warn.
neiuhbors and friends warn. She viii
marry him. If she IS unsuccessful in
the experiment why. then. the divorce
law viii emancipate her, because hab-
itual drunkenness IS cause for
divorce in Indiana. Kentucky, Florida.
Connecticut. and nearly all the states.

The use OF tea at night is another very
mixed Question. IL your nerves are fatisaod,
tea win often make you sleep; but IL you are
oyer-excited, it viii keep you restless ana
awake. As rule, most late workers are in
the habit of slipping tea. Many do not find
that it injuries their sleep, AMI suppose that
most doctors woui agree that, if this is thu
case, tea Tor the student is far botter than
alcohol in any shape. These remarks
also apply to coffee. Black coffee in
hot countries seems to bs the great
panacsa for all the woes of life. 1t appar-
emily suits some late students and business
men better than tea in times Of pressure, aud
it is certainly superior TO any form of alcohol
