FROM An OLD FRIEND.
SpFN1cER. W. Va.

G GPENCEk, w. ' y,
| suppose some of my Louisa
friends will think the time long in

from Lonisa to Spencer. have
always heard it was better late than
never and so ] hope this will apply
in my case. After bidding farewell
to my old associates and friends
whom had learned to love during
my stay with them, we got aboard
of the Chattaroi train. 1t twas not
long until we were in Catlettsburg
We stopped over night With Mr.. J.
B. Bromley, and enjoyed ourselves
very much. We were invited to
take supper with Uncle Joe New

Where Girls Abound.
ChautauQua Letter.

tell you that from actual count there
are just fortyfour young ladies at Chau-
tauqua where there is one young man.
At the approach of nearly every steamer
to tho Chautauqua dock during the week
bevy of maidens, fair and sweet, crowd
ed around with spy-glasses and opera
glasses in their hands, anxiously gazing
at the decks of the approaching steamer,
looking for the possible coming of some
more young men. 1t is absolutely unsafe
for young man to stroll about here I'M
protected. To walk down one of the av-
enues like Palestine or Simpson avenue
alone, with ones self, and to pass by cot
tage after cottage whose balconies are
crowded with heavenly beings dressed in
white lawns and dainty tinted wrappers,
is really and truly a sort of soul torture.
One must close his eyes and think of
other things, of other worlds, and-welI,
simply walk on about his business and
walk alfred fast at that.
'Good-morning," said he raising his
hat and passing on"
"Why, how do you do?" said she, rush
ing up and grasping his hand. "Where
are you going?"
''To dinner" he replied.
"What's the matter with taking me
along?" she said smiling sweetly. And
he took her.
Another young man was rushing for
the boat. He met an old-time lady &C
quaintance.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
'To Mayville," said he, as he fastened
on.
''Guess will go, too" said she, and she
did.
Then young friend of mine, who only
arrived here from Cleveland yesterday,
showed me a note he had just received.
It reads as follows:
DEAR FRIEND: Can't you take me out
boat-riding this evening at 8? am just
dying to go out on the water. Sincerely
yours"
''BEssIE."
And the poor fellow will doubtless
blister his hands tonight rowing Bessie
over the ripping bosom of Chautauqua.
Just think of it. He was only introduced
to Bessie last evening.

Shaving at Fifty Miles an Hour.

practice is everything" said the Pull
man conductor, who stood in state-room
engaged in a performance which so many
men find difficult to do even under the
most favorable conditions.
years ago I began shaving myself on
the cars. At first [ didn't dare try it
when the cars was running, but, gaining
confidence with experience, soon got so
the motion of the cars made no difference
whatever. Now can shave myself al
most as well at fifty miles an hour as
standing still"
Dangerous?
''Not at all, except that it would be
rather awkward to have an accident oc-
cur, a collision or a derailment, when you
had razor at your throat. But accidents
are awkward, anyway, razor or no razor.
Why, know an engineer who regularly
shaves himself on his engine. He Is a
young handsome man-one who likes to
look nice all the while-and when he gets
out in the country where there is a clear
track he lets go the throttle and takes up
the razor. A rocking, pitching, shaking
locomotive is quite different from a
sleeping-car though, and don't think |
should like to shave on an engine"

The Man of Dates.
Texas SiftiDgS.
TO BE CONTINUED.

II understand" said Col Yerger to an
old acquaintance whom he happened to
meet the last time he went down to Gal
weston, ''that you have a great memory
for dates"
80 yes," said the man, quite fattered
by the cOlonel's remark, for dates were a
hobby with him. 81 know the dates of
many important events"
''Perhaps you could tell me when Alex
ander the Great was born?" said the col
onel, with half quizzical smile.
'Certainly. He was born in the year
356 B. G. and died 323."
''And when did King Arthur, of Eng
land die?"
"a. D. 9O1.''
''Quite wonderful" exclaimed the col
onel. 'And will you oblige me by giving
the year of the massacre of st. Bartnolo-
NEW in Parish"
"1572. You bet I'm pat on dates. Do
you know that the painters Vandyke and
Valesquez were born in the same year,
1899? Yes; and Cromwell, too, was born
that year, one year before Charles L.,
whose head he cut off,"
''What head for dates you haver' ex
claimed the colonel.
''And John Milton, Corneille, and Rem
brandt were all three born in 1909"
"Wnen was Waterloo Fought"
"June Is, 1915. I tell you colonel,
that when you corner me on dates you
will have to get up very early In the
morning"
''It certainly looks that way" said the
colonel, 'but there is one date that I am
a great deal puzzled about; perhaps you
can clear it up"
''What is it about, colonel"
at is about two years ago, when Was
in Galveston the last lime, you borrowed
S. of me and promised to send it to Lne
in letter I don't remember the exact
date when I was to get it, but think you
said next week Now can you tell me
what date next week will be-"
The Galveston man turned red as a
boiled lobster, mumbled some words
about his poor memory of recent affairs,
and giving the colonel another promise
toliquidate, he skunk away.
