A Mans Opinion.

A company of ladies and gentlemen
were seated at dinner at the table of a
wel-known man about town few
evenings ago, and with them sat the
heir of the house, a boy of not many
years, who is of a most observing
nature. The conversation turned on
the old, old theme of love, and grew
spirited. The young hopeful, mindful
of the admonition of his mother that
boys should be seen and not heard, sat
silent listener to the various ideas set
forth until some one at last asked, -
''Well, after all, what is loye?'
Unable to remain any longer silent
the little fellow said,-

'Let us know your opinion" re-
sponded his father with a smile
cit is when two sensible persons gel
together and agree to make fools OF
themselves, was the grave reply.

A Tale OF Summer Days.

A tale of roses and roguery, which
has its moral for too susceptible maids,
IS waited from the last midsummer
days. 1t was at a seaside resort, and a
young man, veritablc Prince Charm
ing, who cannot help "practicing'
when he is near a pretty girl, was at his
usual occupation-devoted to several OF
them at once. He counted, in fact,
this time, four victims to his attrac-
tons. As two, however, were at the
hotel on the beach and the other pair
in separate cottages in different direc-
tons, he had managed to make all
happy without any clashing.
Just before the season closed, the fair
cottagers went with their parents to
pass few days at the hotel en- route to
their city homes. Four sweethearts
under one roof were too much for even
this clever campaigner. He concluded
that the situation was too complicated
for him, and a prompt departure was
arranged for The evening he left he
managed to see each girl separately and
to murmur in her car tender tale OF
love. lie would take no decided an
swer then, but If his affection was re-
turned he begged her to wear at break
fast the next morning red rose which
he gently pressed upon her. The last
interview took place about eleven, and
the midnight train bore the young
scamp to New York.
At the first meal on the following
day four young women appeared in tho
dining room with red roses thrust in
their belts. The gay cavalier not pre-
senting himself the girls after time
began to compare notes, and all that
worries those deceived damsels is to
know whether their joint lover had any
means to discover how many of his
roses were worn at the breakfast table.

But there are women who cannot
engage in any pastime. They are

They are sufferers from weaknesses
and disorders peculiar to females,
which are accompanied by sallow
compilations, expressionless eyes and
haggard looks.

Shrewdly Done.

Some time ago | was trading in a
village store, when one of the clerks
came to the junior partner, who CHANGED
to be waiting on me, and said:
won't you please step to the desk a
moment Pat Flynn wants to settle his
bill, and insists on having a receipt"
The merchant was evidently annoyed.
"Why, what does he want of re-
ceipt?" he said, 1--WE never give one.
Simply cross his account off the book;
that is receipt enough"
$50 | told him, answered the clerk
''but he is not satisfied. You had bet
ter see him. p"
So the proprietor stepped to the desk,
and after greeting Pat with good
morning, said:
"You wished to settle your bill, did
your"
Pat replied in the affirmative.
"Well," said the merchant, 'fhere
is no need of my giving you receipt
See | will cross your account off the
book" and suting the action to the
word he drew MS pencil ulagonally
across the account. THAT is as good
as a receipt ="
And do We name that that settles
it?' exclaimed Pat.
''That settles it, said the merchant.
"And ye're shure yen never be afther
askin' me fur it again."
"Well never ask you for it again, -
said the merchant, decidedly.
'Faith, thin" said Pat, land I'll be
afther kapin' me money in me pocket,
for | haven't paid it yet. 3"
The merchants face flushed angrily
as he retorted:
ooh, well, l can rub that out"
Faith, now, and | thought the
same, " said Pat
1t is needless to add that Pat obtained
his receipt.
