One evening this week, on entering the store
toget my mail, ! noticed three young men
with their heads IN such close proxim Ity that
It was somewhat difficult TO tell which Ie-
longed to Charlie and which belonged to
either of the " Joes, but after a few moments
watching was enabled to catch a more direct
view oftheir faces, and of course could dis
tinguish them by their mustaches. Being a
close observerI had no trouble to tell that it
was the subject of matrilnony that was en-

troubled. Some difficulty, evidently. was to
be overcome. 4 married man who was stand
ing watching them seemed able TO interpret

compassion was moved, and we were greatly
pleased and amazed to see how the eounfe-
nanees of the young men beamea and how
soon they gave their whole attention 10 our
married friend. and when they all three said
in chorus Hove Howe when the married
man said: 81 can teli you how 10 get around
the old folks Il was sad tosee their detected
looks when he refused to reveal his secret
there and then. but we don't blame him.
Secrets are not 10 be told to Il whole store full
but. boys. il you will go to him in private 1
know he Will do his best TO put you on The
right track.
