They Didn't Get Married.

Several days since, lad and lassie
living in Preston county, decided it
was time they ceased to waste the
old gents Kerosene oil and break
gate hinges, and be joined in holy
wcdlock. TO this the girls pa ey-
identity objected, for the LOVING
couple hurried themselves off to
Oakland, where they were sure of
no interference from the old gent.
But the Fates We're against them :
They secured the services OF min
lister and then proceeded to the clerks
Office to get the necessary permit
from the county. Here is where
their trouble began. In order to
secure license, the prospective groom
must swear that he is twenty-one
years of age. This the young man
could not do by several months, and
the disappointed pair were compell-
ed by circumstances to return home
without being "made one" Such is
life.

Not So Personal. brother.

In last weeks issue of our cotem-
porary across the street, The Ne,c
Era, we read an article so out of the
line of good taste hitherto followed
by it, that we were surprised and
mortified, that il should so far
transcend the limits of journalism
and so out of its way, as to, under
the. head of news item, attack the
private life of one of our citizens
and his family.
So much of the article rs related
to the steam whistles may be the
editors true and sincere opinion,
and is all right for in this we agree
with him. But that portion of his
article in which he so far forgets the
instincts of his better manhood as
to assail through the columns of his
paper, the private life of lady,
who, with her husband, in social
position, stands upon a level with
the best in our town, we feel called
upon to criticise. The article itself
would look as if it had been prompt
ed by malice, and can only be char
act lied asu ncall cd for,
and is one of those articles
which tends to degenerate and de-
grade the high calling of his profess
sion. 1t is those unjustifled and
uncalled for attacks whereby an
editor leaves the beaten track of
dignified journalism and goes out of
his road for neither the public good
nor benefit of his profession, but
rather for personal reasons, and
assails the private life and character
of citizen. IT'S this that brings
journalism into disrepute.

Case.
please do" pleaded the sister. 1--WE
should have such confidence in you. You
are the only one who has been kind to
US in this sad business"
Then she blushed rosy red, thinking
perhaps she had said too much, and
Holbrook actually blushed because she
blushed.
He began to think the whole interview
was very unprofessional. So after TAX
ing some memoranda and promising to
call upon them at the hotel where they
were stopping, the next evening, to re-
port progress, he accompanied them to
the elevator.
AS they passed in, Tom Bryan passed
out.
Hello, Holbrook, | was coming to see
you," he cried, but seeing Holbrook with
the ladies he begged his pardon and
stepped aside.
"A deuced pretty client, Holbrook, +"
said Tom mischievously, as the lawyer
turned to him.
"Hush," warned Holbrook, that is
Templeton's sister,"
what, the man who was murdered
in Union square?" Then he sprang to the
elevator and pressed the button hurried
ly several times, calling out: Here, stop,
stop that elevator!
