Considerable astonishment was excited IN
this city by what was widely termed Mr..
Robinson lucky catch" When he resigned
his position as thirty -doilar-a-week sales
man his former comrades congratulated
him, but in such melancholy fashion that
1t was plain to see that they slightly envled
his good fortune. The strangest thing
about the whole affair was that nothing got

months after the wedding Mrs. Robinson

the future His worse fears were fulfilled
and his wife died, leaving to him, as her
sole heir, her fortune of considerably over
half million Of dollars. For some time
after she passed away he was inconsolable
but his doctors advised travel, and he LEFT
the country.

former friends in this city that young
Robinson was at the Paris exposition en-

They don't just say, but mean II,
Why don't you have your own?
You can't tell how We miss IT.,
If it by any fate

For cash is not so plenty,
And wants not few, you know,
But must have my paper,

I'd rather dock my sugar,
And do without my tea.
So, printer, don't you stop 1t,
Unless you want my frown,
For here's the years subscription,

And send the paper promptly
And regularly on,
And let IT bring us weekly,
