The men who have made the west and

in the strictest sense. Western society
is made up of young people, who are al

from the standpoint of good looks. A
middle aged man who attends social
affair in the west is looked upon as an
oddity, so firmly rooted is the impression
that as soon as man marries he ought
to retire from everything except bust

any of the social graces, although they
are noted for shrewdness in business and
politics. Our idea of society is that it il,

A newspaper, whose nerves are 30

of the rich Gilsey family" has married

Some are amazed, come astounded, and
all are thoroughly Mortified in every
respect. 1t is indeed terrible shock
| to society and the journalistic dudes.
Wherefore an thus fuss and feathers?
Who is Peter Gilsey, Jr., that hearts
should stand still and faces blsnch when
the announcement Is made that he has
married shopgirl9 He Is ga scion of
the rich Gilsey family" but that does
not prove that there Is any mesalliance
i'm his marriage with Caroline Dreyer, a
young girl who has worked for living.
The bride has been employed in candy
store, and also sold goods IN the retail
department of dry goods store. She is
described as an attractive, intelligent
and respectable young woman.
This being the case, she is the equal
OF "young Mr.. Gilsey." although bis
parents are very rich and hers very poor.
There is no money qualification in this
country which gives the bridegroom any
advantage over the bride because he
happens to be possessed of large wealth
and she has simply intelligence, respect
ability and good looks.
Indeed the fact that Mr.. Gilsey has
linked his fortunes with this "shopgirl"
indicates that he is not wholly lacking
In intelligence himself, albeit he Ia the
scion Of q wealthy family. She will nc
doubt make him helpful, loving wife,
, aud we sincerely trust that he may be
worthy of the prize he has won. "Bless

Could any one imagine the Lord Jesus

It Was Only nit Of Pap~s. but 1t gsved

It Was Only . NIT Of Papss, but II gsved
You~g Woman tro@ Ruin.
He was one of those idle vagabonds in
good clothes, with position in society
and with morals much the worse for
wear And he was just now watching
star In another armament than his
own, and trying ID his low moral sys-
tenn of astronomy to drag it down into
the mud.
She was q young seamstress who was
trying to bring up and educate little
sister left solely to her care, and she
was working out the problem of living
on the chimerical basis that what was
not enough for one was plenty for two,
and she had large abundant faith in
Elijah and the ravens.
This was before the Prince of Dark
ness began to meet her on the way
home, and pass himself off as the Prince
of Light, and make such a glamour in
her eyes that all the rest of the world
was shut out, so that she could not see
the sweet, sanity face Of the dear
mother who had gone before, nor the
innocent, pleading eyes of the little
orphan watching at that upper window
in the tenement house waiting for sis
ter to COME
just now, as she walked along to the
corner where he always met her, she
was thinking how shabby her little print
gown was, how forlorn her last sum-
mer's hat, and she smiled, and the dan
gerous dimples twinkled in cheek and
chin as she thought Of herself in soft
silk dress with q hat dropping with
flowers and the imperious air that goes
with beauty and wealth, and the little
sister-oh, what was that? Something
frightened her! 1t was only torn play
bill loosened from wall, but 1t blew
directly across her face and felt like a
hand. As she seized 1t to thrust IL aside
she could not help seeing line in large
letters, each one Of which, as she read,
made fiery impress on her soul. 1t was
a quotation from the play, and it came
into the girls life like caprice of des-
tiny, rags are royal raiment when
worn for virtues sake"
Then she ran, not that way that she was
wont to do, but back home to the little
| sister by another route, and it seemed to
her as if she would never be safe until
she had the little one in her arms and
sobbcd out all her temptation and irres-
olution in o wordless prayer for help.
And help came.->Eo one ever yet
sought it in that spirit that it did not
come. And she wears her royal raj
ment" today with a steadfast faith in
the future that no mortal can unbalance,
and the Prince of Darkness knew when
next he saw her that his power was
gone, and retreated whence he came.
And the torn bit of paper that had
saved q soul was gathered into the rag
mans basket, fluttering to the last like
a flag Of vietory.-Detroit Free Press.

He was tolerably well dressed and
had an air Of respectability about him.
His clothes were well brushed, and the
invisible patches" on his shoes were
cleverfy disguised by thick coating of
backing. had noticed him standing
in front Of the chair in which sat, and,
as the man from Genoa industriously
rubbed his strip of canton flannel athwart
my choicest bunion until it felt as though
it were being cauterized with redhot
iron, fell to rejecting upon the future
state of man, and somehow my eyes en-
countered the animal. He smiled be-
nignantly, bat l attributed his good
nature to an accident which had just
taken place in the street-small boy had
his leg crushed-unfailing source Of
amusement for the animal-but later
tho abiding nature of his smile led me
to think that perhaps he had been tax
ing something warm and cozy.
He waited for me to quit the chair-a
circumstance which inspired the Italian
with the false hope that the animal
wanted a shine. Such was not the case
He wanted to speak to me in private, and
he took me to one side for that purpose.
When he was quite sure that we were
alone, he impaired to me the startling
intelligence-not that he was Jay Gould
or the author of the last successful play,
or that he was the real murderer of the
Borden fanily-no, he told me-and he
wanted the matter kept strictly quiet,
rs no was travelling incog., and it was
only because something about me had
inspired his confdence-and hence he
let me into the secret that he was-God.
Solemn fact. The animal was crazy
of course, but he looked as sane as most
of us-which is probably accounted for
by the fact that most of us are as crazy
as he is, if the truth must be told.-New
