How One Man Proposed.

I was very much amused at the article
published on GLOW Girls Are Proposed
To-" think the way proposed was just
as unique, and the time and method lit
tie more novel than the methods the fel
lows in that article adopted.
1t was a case of love at first sight, but
the girl didn't know how I felt, neithe,
was sure that she cared continental fol
me. She was modest, retiring bashful
little thing, and while 1 wanted to tell he1
how much 1 thought of her I was afraid
to. One night, the fourth time I had
called, 1 made up my mind fully that
wanted her. But she was so shy I thought
it would brighten her away if I spoke.
About 10 o'clock I proposed a game OF
cards, and, in joke, suggested that we
play for a wager, and that she put up her
self against me. She modestly consented.
1 thought I was going to lose, and
knew if 1 did it was last chance, even il
it was joke. Well, I won, and told her
with laugh that she belonged to me.
After sitting and looking at each other a
few moments I took her hand and said she
must always pay her losses, and that the
hand held was mine. She looked at me
with a smile and said quietly:
"Well, If you want it you can have it. y

Two hands upon the breast,
And laborS done;
Two pale feet crossed In rest
The race is run;
Two eyes with coin weights shut,
And all tears cease;
Two lips where grief is mute,
Anger at peace.
So pray we sometimes mourning our lot;
God in his kindness answereth not.
Two hands to work and rest,
Aye, for his praise;
Two feet that never rest
Walking his ways;
Two eyes that look above
Still through all tears;
Two lips that breathed but love-
Nevermore fears
So we pray afterward. low at our knees;
Pardon those erring prayers; Father, hear these'

Diplomacy in Dress.

Yes, there is thought in good clothes
Who does not remember the noble maxims
for dress of the Incompatible Pelham2
''There is no diplomacy more subtle than
that of dress" There is a story told in one
of the departments that illustrates this
fact perfectly A certain young man
wished to be appointed a chief of bureau.
He was naturally a tremendous swell.
When he was in his element he wore a
single barreled eyeglass, his shoes were
always of patent leather; he put his trou-
sers between the mattresses at night, so as
to preserve the crease in them. He never
crossed his legs or even bent them if he
could help it, and in this way he kept away
the dreaded bagging at the knees. He car
ried cane all full of knobs, and each
knob was tipped with silver. His hats
were the result of intellectual concentra-
tion and his cravats showed unmistaka-
BILE evidences of genius. He was swell
and no mistake. But before he had the
interview with the cabinet officer from
whom he expected to get employment he
went to one who knows him well, and,
taking him aside, said:
''What sort of clothes does Secretary -
wear?''
'Oh," was the reply, che hates clothes.
He keeps a coat till it falls to pieces. 1t is
entirely to the prayers and entreaties of
his wife and children that we owe the apol-
ogy of a necktie that he puts on. He has
a series of buttonholes Oh his shirt collar,
and when the weather is warm he lets out
a reef or SO; and his trousersl Oh hor-
rors! They resemble nothing SO much as
a couple of meal sacks strung together"
Enough" said the exquisite. II under
stand" And he went and put on the shah
best clothes he had, and left his eye
glasses behind him and wore no gloves A
simple tie supplied the place of the gor-
geous scarf he usually wore, and turn
down collar took the place of the high in
verified cuffs which he was accustomed to
peep over.
Thus attired he saw the good old secre-
tary, presented his recommendations,
which were strong and received the ap-
pointment without raising the slightest
suspicion in the mind of the head of the
department that he was appointing dude.
Who can deny that there is truth in Pei
hams maxim that there is diplomacy in
dress?-Washingt Cor New York Times.
He Was a Good Boy.
A boy who was trying to get box into
the top of a shade tree on Charlotte avenue
was asked by pedestrian what his object
was, and he replied
''It's for robins nest"
"But why not let her make her own"
"Oh, this will save her the time and
trouble"
1t was a soap box filed with feathers,
and while that boy may wonder as the days
go by why the robins don't nest again his
goodness of heart will some day make o
great man of him.-Detroit Free Press
Fighting Lioness.
Early one morning w. Blake, who lives
near Daunt, Tulare county, Cal, was
aroused by visit from California lioness
and her three cubs. They appropriated a
young colt and fine porker, when Mr.
Blake turned loose three hounds while he
went for his gun. The dogs killed one OF
the cubs, but they were all killed by the
ioness, who retreated in good order before
Blake was able to fire.-Philadelphi Led

1t was useless to stand there and
grieve, so, making the best Of our mis-
fortune, we began the construction of
sort Of hut. Thus the long day passed,
and as the sun went down we saw that
the water was sti rising. This to me
was exciting, but Bone looked on COM
placently. The first thing I heard the
next morning was piteous moan from
Walker.
"No use to moan an mowl," said our
guide. 1--WE air here. Let me see whut
the water is doin'. She's still risin'

"if had ten thousand. What I want

We had nothing to eat that day. Just
before lying down for the night, Bone

answered.
Look here, Bone" said I, 1--WE are as
hungry as wolves and don't care about
your barbarous jokes. Let US have no
more of this foolishness."
Four days passed and we were nearly
famished. Bone had ceased speaking
about the water, but I noticed that he
watched it closely. 1t was about noon,
and we, too weak to stir around, were
sitting near the edge of the water, when
suddenly Bone, uttering an exclamation,
sprang into the stream. We jumped
up. thought the fellow had lost his
mind. / saw him seize yellowish
something and strike out for the shore.
Tom ran down and held out an old rail.
Bone came out, bringing with him an
immense canvassed ham. Then there
arose yell of Joy.
"Wait till shuck him." he said, be-
ginning to remove the canvas. "Ef the
