IT'S DIFFERENT.

Who doesn't remember when it was
the received thing to send your sweet
heart every evening an enormous breast
work of flowers, where the roses were
stabbed into position by wires and the
whole effect of which was stiff beyond
expression? Mademoiselle had her
corsage bouquet and she would have felt
that the world was not quite right with
out it; that her beauty must be fading
and that her sweetheart must be growing
weary of her. But nowI The young
man gets down on his knees and gives
thanks because these belongings are no
longer demanded from him. If he sends
any flowers at all they must come in a
big box, loose, long stemmed and dripping
with dew. They may be daisies plucked
from some country meadow, they may be
wild roses, or they may be the great, stiff,
scentless ones that have been cultured in
green houses. But few or many, they
must not even be tied with a ribbon, or
sent IN a basket.-LouisviUe Courier

Mr.. Randall made a mistake in not at
tending the recent Pennsylvania Demo

public approval to the admirable work of
that body. It set forth one of the strong
est and ~clearest declarations of genuine
Democratic doctrine that has appeared in
a good while. Democrats all over the
country are ~applauding it. There is dan
ger that Mr.. Randalrs silence may be
