MY SWEETHEART.

I'm in love with fair little maiden
With her. eyes, with her lips, with her
hands,
With her dozens of dear little dmples-
And although she's petite
On her sweet little feet,
TITS wonder to me how she stands.
And she loves me, this dear little maiden;
And her hands, and her eyes, and her lips,
And her dimples, all giving me welcome
In sweet artless way
Have their say, every day,
AS TO meet me she lovingly trips.
Will she wed me, this sweet little maiden?
Bless you, mol That she never will do.
But, when | have told you the reason,
| haven { a fear
Twill appear to you queer;
For I'm thirty-whie she's only two!

General S. had some shirts made at
fashionable hosier's, and the cutter.
few weeks later, met the General with
r friend walking in Broadway. The
General remembered the face, but could
not place him. and the cutter greeted
him with; "Good-morning, General.
How are you to-dayP" The General
stopped, shook hands, and the cutter,
perceiving that the Generals mind
needed refreshing, said quietly: "Made
your shirts. " 80, beg pardon" said
the General, quickly, and, turning to
the gentleman with whom he was walk
ing, he said: Colonel, allow me to in
produce you to my friend, Major

BETTING WON EN-.


fmpulsive, Illogical and Whimsical, She
is Sure to be Unsuccessful.
A bet made she usually regrets it.
Posted as to performances of horses and
jockeys they are, but the knowledge is
of little use, as it is not taken advan-
tage of when they come to place their
money. A favor.te among the jockeys,
no matter what his mount may be,
often decides the way in which their
money is to be placed Oftener still the
money is placed upon the representative
of favorite stable. There is hardly
one betting woman in ten who will not
place her money on horse owned by
one of the Lorilards. When both have
entries for the same event prejudice
in favor of the one or the other decides
the placing of their money The second
factor in leading them to a decision in
such case as that named is the jockey;
the third. the positions of the horses in
the bookmaker's estimation. Women,
as rule, have no Use for short horses.
They prefer to back the favorite on the
theory that the favorite usually wins,
and though the returns for their invest
ment may be less, that it's better to
make little than to lose all. Risk
they don't want to think Of Certain
ties are what they are after.
With the novices among betting
women their entrance into the fascina-
ting game is attended by many queer
notions They are ignorant as to the
merits of horses and ridarc Tho now
tiate then looks over list of horses,
and finds name that pleases her and
places her FIRST five dollars in the mutual
pool-box to back a horse whose name
she fancies. Old betting men say that
Caramel has probably been more favored
in this way than any horse on the turf,
and hundreds of women have lost their
| first five dollars because that is such a
sweet, pretty name" The women learn
better after while. Another stumb-
ling block for the novices are the colors
sported by the jockeys. A favorite
color on a spruce jockey often draws
out from the pocket-book of some fair
one the first five dollars she has ever
bet on the uncertain chances of a dash
around the track. If she wins the
| color ever remains her favorite. If she
loses, that color also loses forever for
her all attractiveness it may have be-
| fore had. Once a woman is ''in the
swim" of the running track, however,
she will remain there Just as long as her
money holds out, and even then the
fascination of the track clings to her
and she is ever its slave.-M Y. Times.

No More Insurance in New Hamp-
shire,

In consequence of the passage of the
Ubiquitous valued policy bill, passed by the
New Hampshire Legislature at its late ses-
sion, all the insurance companies heretofore
doing business in that State have decided to
discontinue business in and withdraw from
that State after August 31st, and all policies
non-subsisting will probably be ordered can
celed; so that all persons in this State own
ing property in New Hampshire will be cut
off from getting any insurance thereon with
any reliable companies, and must therefore
be left to protect themselves from loss by fire
and lightning as best they can.
This will operate unfavorably to business
houses in this city and elsewhere who do
business with customers in New Hampshire
who cannot get insurance.
During the past month august there have
been 80 cases of loss by lightning reported,
and many such by incendaries, several of
which were in this State and New Hamp-
cbira
