:" That Is Love-

In a small watering place in western
Prussia rich lady with her daughter,
nineteen years old, hired a cottage for
the whole summer season.
But the two ladies had not been six
weeks in the place when they suddenly
departed. The reason for this abrupt
ending of their pleasure trip was love
affair between the young lady and a
spruce fisherman, which the mother
crushed in the bud With this, how
ever, the story does not end.
The inhabitants of the place, fearing
that some more young ladies might fall
in love with the nice fisherman, which
would consequently lead to more abrupt
departures, resolved to prevent such oc-
currences in future.
They held meeting and decided that
the fisherman should be punished Sc
verely for his imprudence in allowing
himself to be the object Of love for
young ladies. A committee took the
culprit to an open place and fogged him
SO numerically that the poor fellow had
to lie in bed for several days. Boston

Praise for the Library.

EDITORS HERALD: Too much cannot
be said in praise OF the kind and court
eous attention shown to the patrons of
the Los Angeles public library by the
ladies employed in its several depart
ments. The library is an excellent one,
and the city has great reason to feel
proud of the institution. Its good is
greatly enhanced by the amiable and
obiiging dispositions shown the people
at its counters. All are made to feel at
home, and nothing seems to be left un-
done to make it popular place OF in
struction to those who choose to take
advantage of it. OBSERVER.

Biography seemed to indicate young lady
of refinement, regular correspondence
followed, and then the young man agreed
to go to Springdale and meet his ideal.
They met at the railroad station and
started off together. Then procession
of 200 wags of the place followed the
couple, and paralyzed the young Lo-
thario by stepping up in turn and in
quiring about the health of the bewitch-
ing Cora"
1t should here be stated that Cora
was personated by a smooth faced young
man, arrayed in his mothers toggery.
Lothario soon realized that he was the
victim of a practical joke, and deserting
the giggling Cora" he hurried to the
train and started homeward. A tele-
graph operator had prepared for his re-
ception in Tarentum by sending tele-
gram thither; and when Lothario arrived
there the whole town had turned out in
a body to make exasperating inquiries
about his conquest of "Cora. Yankee
