What He Promised the Girl.


The Philadelphia Times says there
10 . lesson to be learned from the
qusini matrimonial incident record
ed in graphic style by an enterprising
Western journal. Several years ago
young man, without any money
and still less brains, laid siege to the
heart of an equally poor but some
what smarter young woman. She
led him lively dance, as is the Gus
tom with her sex, now raising his
hopes to the highest pitch, now
dashing them to the ground without
any apparent cause or object. The
young man went through the usual
symptoms of the disease, became
gay or melancholy by turns, grew
bilious and wrote alleged poetry to
his mistress and in desperate mo,
ments protested many things be.
yOnd all sense of reason. Finally
in moment of unalloyed bliss he
swore that if the lady would but
wed him he would always hire a
washwoman to do that portion OF
the homework, or, if too poor, would
do the washing himself.
Many man has invoked from
the realm of the Imagination 8
ghost to haunt his actual life. 1t
was so in the case in point. The
heart that had seemed hard enough
to resist his most piteous pleading
and most bilious poetry tainted at
hearing this passionate avowal and
surrendered itself on that one-con.
diLion basis. In good time the wed
ding bells rang and the two were
united. A brief period of unresson'
ing happiness followed, unshadow.
ed by even the vestige of a cloud
Then she money which the young
man had borrowed to effect his
matrimouisl purpose faded away
and big washing remained or
hand. There was no help for The
youthful husband. The honey
moon had begun to wane and the
wife vowed resolute vow that the
courtship promise should be fulfill
ed. 1t was. g#t@
It is idle to speculate on the phil
osophy of love, for love has no phil
osophy that does not argue for it
own qualification. Still, this case
teaches that young men ought not
to say what they do not mean, ever
TO the object of their youthful af
festions. Probably all womel
| would not have been SO obdurste
in fact, the majority would doubt
less have shed q few tears and thel
attacked the washing themselves
But this women wasn't of that kind
She evidently reasoned that a youn,
man who didn't do after marriag
what he had agreed to do before de
served little sympathy and no tear
from the woman he had deceived
and she put that principle into prac
tice in such O old-blsoded and prae
tioal way that probably some othe
young men will be deferred from
marrying, at least until they hav
demonstrated their ability to kee
the more important of their court

unwarranted alterations OF costume, and all
the horrors which had been predicted, were
disappointed. There were none OF them, but

Dudes Compelled to Dance.

A story has just come TO light in
Canton, Ga, which affords much
amusement to natives at the expense of
three Boston dudes, whose connection
with the opening of Georgia marble
quarry had taken them there. Their
names are John Shellman. Edward
Amihen. and Henry Rondeau. They
have had much amusement with noun
tain hoosiers. and delighted in showing
off their superior accomplishments.
While on the way to Tates Wednesday
they met two Misunderstanding coun-
try boys who, bare-footed and with but
one suspender over their shoulders, were
trudging to town. The Bostonians
stepped in front of them and ordered
them to dance to Massachusetts,
juba.
When the .mountaineers became salts
fed that the Bostonians were in earnest
they pulled out two ugly-looking revol-
vers and changed the programme by
ordering the dudes to dance. Thinking
to humor the joke and thus escape
easily they danced awhile, but the boys
would not let them halt. For I've hours,
under cover of revolvers. the Boston
ians danced such jig as has never be-
fore been seen. When the time was up
one of the mountaineers exclaimed:
Now, dang it, runr' The Bostonians
were only too glad to do so, and reach
ed town footsore and weary. They
are now seeking legal redress.

The general topic, Dangers of Overpro-
ductiou," was opened by ". NJ. Rel Rathbun.
He was followed by Brothers R. S. Thomson
Edward Merritt, A. Weaver, and S. &. Fry
ant with short speeches. The general opin-
ion was that there can be no national danger
in an overproduction, but where farmer is
engaged in special iarming-for instance, in
raising nothing but wheat or corn, or any one
of the other cereals-he will be injured, pro-
vided there should be an overproduction in
the particular cereal in which he il ,n gaged
in producing.
Brother R. VI. Athy read a selection, "Why
an Patron" which was well received.
Brother c. H. Wilson read humorous Sc
lection, darius Green's Flying Machine"

NJ. DE LesScps.

As post prandial speaker Nj. de
Les cps is as felicitous as an Evarts or
a Choate. On these occasions he does
not crate, but simply talks. There is
always humor. philosophy. and sense
in what he says. NJ. de Lesseps is
shrewd business man. His shrewd-
ness is the result of the diplomatic
training of his early life; his business
capacity has been developed by the
Suez and Panama enterprises. The
predominant elements of NJ. de Les
seps' character always show themselves
when he rises to respond to toast.
He never fails to make the most OF an
occasion where he can advertise his
projects. Suez. Panama, and the Al
rican sea each comes in for its share OF
publicity. and every banqueter goes
home not only with Il good dinner but
with warm admiration for Ferdinand
de Lesseps and his gigantic undertak-
ings.
Here is one of NJ. de Lesseps little
speeches. 1t is fair specimen OF the
score or more which he delivers every
season at Paris. either at some dinner
or meeting. Il have always been
treated as if were a great engineer
he said a year or so ago at sc centlhc
gathering at Sarbonne; but this is all
wrong. for have never been an en-
cineer either great or small. In 1919

matte career. On arriving III that city

ZIONIST he sprang up with bound and
cried: Have YOU come to assasslnate

mated now,' | replied, it is not you.

escape from the clutches of his govern
ment. This proves that kindness is
ALWAYS rewarded. However this may
be. the events which marked my en-
trance into the diplomatic career were
not of nature to encourage ne to
continue in that path. /. therefore,

nal constructor, and there" he added,
with a slv laugh, Il have had some

At the Inauguration. last autumn, of
the George Sand statue. NJ. de Lesseps
spoke as follows: Il have read George
Sand in every country of the universe,
but this did not stop me from reading
her last night. In her honor l have
named one of my ten children Solange.
NJ. Arsene Houssaye has said that the
French Academy ought to have given

woman were to enter the academy. in

there-no men would be wanted.'-
