IT FAILED WITH HIM.

"Yes," said old Jake Miller, "marriAge is . fAil- ure I've been married three times an reckon I'd orter know"
 "How %, Uncle Jake" we asked.
 "Well, with my fust two I went on the princi- pie that a woman at didn't yearn her own bread and butter an leetle more wuE not wuth havin' What wuz the result2 Both of 'em died Yes sir died an right in the busy season, too"
 "ThAt was pretty rough" we ventured to re- mark.
 "Rough2" exclaimed Uncle Jack, "I should say 1t wuz rough. An that wasn't the worst of It. Some of my neighbors were mean enough to peddlo 1t all around the country that I'd killed two wives with hard work an wuz now lookin' eround fer ernother."
 "How did you come on with your third one, Uncle Jake2"
 The old fellow paused awhile before he answered Finally after a moments thought, he said
 "Well, ef l made or fool O myself the fust two times, l reckon l must CT made blamed sight bigger one the las time. You see," he continued "it wuz this erway. The fust time married fer money, the second time wanted housekeeper, an the third time married fer love pure an sim pie. got nice young critter, purity as yearlin' colt, an, thinkn lots of her, did, jest made pet of her.

 "Didnt she appreciate your kindnessI"
 "Not by a dumbed sight she didn't, answered the old fellow, sadly. "If she had he continued, "she wouldn't or run away with CT blamed onery sneak of a horse doctor"
 'So she eloped then9"
 "Yes an took with her all her duds an nearly three hundred dollars of my money"
 Here he arose to go as he started out he paused long enough to say: "Young man, ef you any body as thinks they know all erbout this marvin bizness jest send lem ter me. I kin tell 'em some things at they never thought of afore. wasn't splced three times fer nuthin'"

 And 90 he told the truth at last; for had he known what Heppie's answer would have been, 1t would have saved him many months of torturing anxiety and uncertainty. She was an enigma to him. are all girls to those whose hearts they hold enthraled, and who, like Lafe are, a rule, cow ards in the presence of the woman they love.-Ed. F. Pritchdrd.

LATE HURLEY.

Iate Hurley had been courting old man Hite's daughter, Heppie, for & long time; but somehow had never mustered up the courage to ask her to be his wife One Sunday evening, however as he and Heppie spooning together out on the front porch, Lafe SO far overcame his bashfulness as to make an attempt to come to some sort of an understanding in the matter.
 "IIeppie," he began, cit looks as though we wuz goin' ter have right smart lot O wheat arter all this year. That bottom field O mines ergoin' to pan out tust-rate."
 "I'm glad O that, Late," replied Heppie, "but pap says our'n ain't ergoin' ter mount ter much"
 "My co'ns CT lookin' bully, too," continued Lafe "dont bieve ever seed it a-doin' so we'll afore at this time O year"
 "Well, Lafe" said Heppie as she smiled win ningly into his face, "you're mighty lucky, 'relse you're tip-tOp good farmer, I dunno which"
 "Heppie," said Lafe, impulsively, "Pm both :; Pve allus bin lucky, an, besides, I know as much erbout croppin' an handlin' stock as ther next feller. An that ain't all" he continued, "Pve got forty of good farmin' lan all paid fer with good house on it, am wuz a-thinkin'-"
 Here he stopped and began whipping the dust out of his trousers with the riding whip which he still had in his hand.
 "What wuz it you wuz CT thinkin' of, Lafe?" queried Heppie softly she stole a mischievous yet encouraging glance at her embarrassed lover.
 Well" said L.ate, with considerable effort, "I wuz thinkin', Heppe, that considerin' I am tollabe lucky, an, sides ain't fool in farmin' matters, 'at you wouldn't mind marvin feller like me, speshully when he loves you so we'll 'at he kain't find words to tell you about it."
 "Lafe," she answered softly, she nestled closer to him, "Pve knowed long time that you thought more O me than you did of any one else. Yes, " she continued, "I love you Lafe, an Pll be good CT wife as l can ter yer; but you wuz long time screwin' up yer courage to the stickin' pint"
 "Well," said Lafe, boldly and utterly regardless of the lie he was about to utter, "I wuz sorter waitn till could git things licked inter shape afore axed you. don't believe in a feler gittin' wife until he's got place ter take her to. Besides, l knowed yer pap wouldn't CT let us git married till I'd got some kind of start, anyhow"
 "Lafe Hurley, don't believe you" retorted Hep pie, poutiDgly. "You wasn't certain I'd have yer an you afeard ter ax me for fear I'd say no. "
 "Oh, shucksp said Lafe, as he hugged her tighter to his bosom. "I wasn't afeard ter ask yer, Heppie but ef you'd said no, that would erbout killed me. I'd CT got outen old Indeyanny in mighty short order, Pm CT tellin' yer"
 "Well," said Heppie, "you'd orter 'a' knowed

have ever seen.

Although the year 1900 will be divisible by four without remainder, it will not be leap year. Twelve years must elapse before the interesting event takes place, but it was just the same in 1900 and 17OO but not in 1900, for this was leap year, and the year 2OO0 will be leap year also. Why this should be is problem. To explain in detail would be tiresome task, but it rests the prin-
 ciple that the difference of eleven minutes per day exists between actual time and calendar time Thus year is computed at 365i days, three years being s65 days long and the fourth year s66 days In fact the year is S65 days hours and 45 minutes long, or II minutes short of 365t days.-Erchange.

fifteen.

covered crack which runs 200 feet under
the southeast end of the Dufferin terrace
That tissure was three days ago but few
inches wide and is now about five feet
wide and some fifty feet deep. General
Cameron expressed his opinion very clear
ly on the subject. Not only the houses on
Champlain street. adjoining the heap of
ruins but all the houses on both sides and
on the whole length of the street, number
ing about 900, should be deserted, not on
account of immediate danger but because

passers-by. 1t is the general opinion that
the houses Immediately under the threaten
ing rocks should be vacated instantly or
another catastrophe will soon add new
horrors to the lugubrious train of woe.

Englishmen Seeking Points from the Report

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Sept. 2S.-A good deal of gen.
uine curiosity is felt by English experts to
see the report of the board of officers de-
tailed by the German Admiralty to investi-
gate the condition of the vessels belonging
to the navy. the dock-yards, and the
facilities for adding to the number of
ships at brief notice, and, most important
of all to the student of maritime warfare,
the institution of naval order of tactics.
