Bows and Men.

There is difference between boys and
men. but it is difference of self nowledge
chiefly. A boy wants to do everything, be-
cause he.does not know that he cannot; a
man wants to do something because lie
knows he cannot do everything: boy always
fails, and man sometimes succeeds because
the man knows and the boy does not know
A man is better than boy because he knows
better; he has learned by experience that
what is harm to others is greater harm to
himself, and hewould rather not do it.
But a boy hardly knows what harm is, and
he does it mostly without realizing that it
hurts. He cannot invent anything, he can
only initiate; and it is easier to initiate
evil than good. You can initiate war. but
how are you going to initiate peace? So a
boy passes his leisure in contriping ms
chic. Ifyou get another fellow to walk
intoa wasp's camp, you can see him jump
and hear him howl. but ii you do not then
nothing at all happens. you set a dog to
chase cat up a tree, then something has
been done; and fyou do not set the dog
on the cat then the cat lies in the sun and
sleeps. ard you lose your time. IF boy
could find out some way of doing good, so
that he could be active in it, very likely he
would want to do good now and then; but
as he cannot, he very seldom wants to do
good Harper's Young People.

Curious Life Insurance Case.

New York Tribunes Syracuse Special: A
curious life insurance case has arisen here,
which will probably have to be settled by
the courts. III July Mrs. John H. Gately
Of OsWego reported to the Mutual Reserve
Fund Lie Association of New York that
her husband was dead, and demanded the
payment OF a 81, 900 insurance policy on his
life. Shortly atterward the company re-
ceived letter from Thomas Gately of SYRIA
cuse a brother OF John H. Gately, saying
tibet the latter was alive. General Agent
Thomas was sent from New York to inves-
tigate the matter, and made a report upon
the strength of which the company refused
to pay the policy. Mr.. and Mrs. Gately
had not lived together for some time preyi-
Gus to the alleged death Of the husband. In
July the body Of a man was found in the
Erie canal in Syracuse. It had been in the
water long time and the features were I'M
| recognizable Mrs. Gately cameto Syracuse
with relatives and other people who knew
her husband and identified the body as
that of John H. Gately by scar upon the
chest.
Meantime Thomas Gately had looked at
the body and declared that it was not that
of his brother. He had told his sister-in-
law SO, but she refused to believe him, and
forwarded her application for the payment
OF the policy Then Thomas Gateiy wrote
to the company, and was told to hunt up
his brother. A few days atterward he APP
peared, bringing with him sun burned,
sturdy young man, whom he introduced as
Sohn III. Gately. The stranger said that he
was John H. Gately and that he did not
know his vile had applied for his money
until his brother wrote him about it.
Agent Thomas asked for proofs of his
identity, and number of Syracuse people
were produced who made affidavit to the
TACT. The agent asked about the scar on
his chest, and the man showed deep scar
on his chest, similar to that on the body
found in the canal Mrs. Gately will sue

How Women We'd.

A man asked me the other day
how women find husbands, writes
"Bab' in the New York Star. 1t
was such a puzzling question to me
that I constituted myslf a committee
Of one and went around among lot
Of married women to see how their
husbands proposed to them.
There wasn't one who had ever had
an absolute romantic avowal of love!
There wasn't one whose husband had
gotten down on his knees, caught
the loved ones hand and besought
of her, unless she wished to see him
stark and cold with a broken heart,
that she would we'd him! There
WASH t one who had ever known the
rapture of being held, with pistol
pointed ather head, while the brave
lover pronounced that, unless she ac-
cepted him, he would kill her and
then himself! There wasn't one who
lad been gained even at the dagger's
point, and not y single wife had been
drugged and welded while in a semi
conscious state! ~
Dorothy, / confess to a certain
amout Of disappointment. The
nearest [ could get as to how the
question of marriage had been
reached was always that they drifted
into it.
This is sdeliciously vague, but it
seems to mean that they knew the
man, that he had the privilege of
holding their hands and criticising
their frocks for some time, and that
then there was no special excitement
in Wall street, a Presidential election
WASH t going on, nor any thing else
that was distracting, they suggested
that it was about time for them to
get married.
This is the general experience. And
i think it a sin and a shame. Few
women have more than one oppor-
tunity to marry, and that ought to
be accompanied by all the frill and
frivolties that the best novel writer
ever dreamed of. The Howells and
james business in the way of classic.
love making may be most desirable
for nervous people; it may calm and
soothet them, but when champagne or
love are offered it wants to be spark
ling, and it wants to taste as if such
nectar had never been offered before.
The cigarette-imbued. white
skinned, colorless-eyed, smooth-faced
young man that's prevalent justnow
will never offer anybody anything
but the fiattest cider for champagne,
and Wnen it comes to this, I say,
giYs me ice water and platonic.

Country Counting.

1 e Z ] Z
Every lad in the country, no mat
ter how loWly his occupation may
be or how small the wages he may
earn, makes it a point to own a set
OF harness and buggy, says the
New York World. This anyway,
and, if possible, a horse. Ifhe can't
get the horse, however, it doesn't
make SO much difference, for he can
generally manage to borrow an
animal of some sort, either from his
employer or some neighboring farm
er. These things are absolutely
essential to the kind of counting he
does, and the only one who doesn't
enjoy it is the horse.
When Saturday afternoon comes
around the boys may be found hard
at work with bottle of harness pol
ish, making the horses apparel
shine for theregular Sunday turnout.
| And then a bucket of water and
sponge are brought into play, and
the buggy is made to look as bright
and clean asnew. Sunday afternoon
every thing is in readiness, and.
decked out in his best suit of clothes,
which sometimes fits him but more
often doesn't, he ties a piece of
bright ribbon on his whip, climbs
into his buggy and drives off.
May be he has a friend from some
other point stopping with him, and
in that case the friend goes along.
The latter is taken to some house
along the route where there is a.
daughter in the family. She is ask
ed whether she expects any caller
or not that evening, and if the an
sWer be in the negative the friend is
introduced and left in care of the.
girl, who treats him just as if they
had been lifelong friends, and he in
turn does his share towards carry
ing out the presumption. He takes
tea with the family and then is
escorted to the parlor, when he and
his new-found acquaintance are left
alone to entertain each other as
best they see fit.
In the meantime the buggy owner
has driven on to his destination.
His best girl welcomes him with
open arms. A hug, a kiss and a
how-do-ye-do comprise the saluta-
tory, and then he goes through the
same course as the friend whom he
has left behind After tea he goes
to the parlor and he and the object
OF his admiration sit and chat to-
gether the whole night long This
is a fact, and they don't sit as city
folks do, either They huddle to-
Gether on a lounge or sofa and,
clasped in each others arms, sit and
coo like pair of turtle doves. No.
one is there to disturb or embarrass
them. The old folks have gone to
| bed and the youngsters are alone in
their glory. For a time they talk
about crops and the weather and
discuss the habits of some mutual
acquaintance, and when they have
exhausted all subjects on which they
findit easy to converse they don't
go ahead, and talk for the sake of
saying something, as city folks do,
but they remain silent and sit for
hours 'hugging and kissing each
other, until the break of day warns
the youth that it is time for him to
retire. Then he gives his girl a part
| ing kiss and hug, another for good
luck, and takes his departure.
