Popping the Question.

1t was seven long years since Jonas
Harris had begun To keep company"
with Miss Hannah Bell. and yet in all
that time he had not mustered courage
TO propose q certain question. His
house was lonely and waiting; hers was
lonely enough to be vacated. aud Jonas
could not bring himself to speak the
decisive words. Many time he had
walked up to her door with the courage
of a lion, only to find himself a very
mouse when she appeared.
He had never failed in dropping in
to cheer her loneliness on Christmas
evening. and this year he presented
himself as usual. The hearth was
swept, the fire burned brightly and
Miss Hannah was adorned with smiles
and a red bow.
Conversation went serenely on for
an hour or so. and then. when they
both sat pairing red-cheeked apples
with great coDtentrnent, Jonas began
to call upon his recollections.
"Its good many years. ain't it.
Hannah. since you and first sot here
together?"

felt it.

Private Secretary Pearson of Gov
Beavers Office. Harrisburg. Pa, had q
curious and somewhat startling expers
fence with the graphophone. He be-
gan to turn the crank and supposed
that he was about TO cause the ma
chine to give out to the young lady
typewriter a message which the govs
ernOr had talked into il the evening
previous. The young lady was all
attention and the private secretary
began solemnly to turn the cranks
which works BY . treadle. To his
horror and the intense embarrassment
OF the young lady, the following
amorous tumble was givea ous with
decided emphasis:
Nov. don't, George. There.
somebody will come. OF course 1 love
you. There; somebody really is COM
ing, and you have mussed my hair all
up. Please. love. I'm 80 afraid
that some ono will come In. and, be.
sides, ! can't work this crank IL you
insist upon kissing me ali the time"
The periods represents sounds too
familiar to be mistaken. They were
the smacking Of lips and other sounds
which accompany the interchange Of
caresses between lovers.
1t Was some little while before the
matter could be satisfactorily explain
Cd. either by the young lady or by
Mr.. Pearson. who At first were dis
posed to imagine that somebody had
been playing . practical joke upon
them. The matter was final y straight
eDed out, however, when the sxecus
tive clerk came around, and. upon
hearing OF the incident, laughed
heartily. He had on the evening be-
fore been showings . bride and groom
about the executive department. and
being called away . few minutes had
left them in the private secretary's
room to amuse themselves with the
RraphOphone while he attended TO che
business which had called him awhy.
