Popping" Under Difficulties,

When father found out that his
son John had been counting a certain
farmers daughter for a year or more
without settling the question, says
Bits, he called him out behind
the stack and said to him:
John, do you love Susie Tinker?"
II am sure do, dad"
"And does she love you?"
"That's what l dunno, and I'm
afraid to ask her."
''Well, you'd better throw out a
few hints tonight and find out. It's
40 use wearing out boot leather un.
less you are going to marry her"
That night at 10 o'clock John came
home wreck His face was all
scratched, his ear was bleeding, his
hat gone, his coat ripped up the back
and he was covered with mud.

''Bin over to Tinker's," was the re-
ply. "And-and-l threw out few
hints to Susan"
What kind O. hints?"
''Why, l told her Id been hooting
it two miles four times out Of a week
for the last year to set up with her
while she sung through her nose and
how l reckoned it was time for her
to brush her teeth and darn up her
stockings, cure the pimples on her
chin, and tell the old folks that we're
engaged"
land her father kicked you out?"
mo, dad, no; that's where Pm
consoled. 1t took the whole blessed
family, including Susan, two labor
ers and three dogs, and then l wasn't
more'n half licked. l guess we moved
on 'em too soon, dad. l guess it
wasn't quite time to throw hints"

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29.-General Master
Workman Sovereign. Of tho Knights Of La
Dor, before leaving for home, issued an ad-
dress to the Knights Of the country, appoal-
ing to them to protest against the proposed
bond issue. He quotes from the platform
of the knights a. follows: 'That interest
bearing bonds. bills Of credit, or notes shall
never be issued by the government. but
when the need arises the emergency shall
be met by the issue of legal tendsr. nom
interest bearing money" He asks every
local assembly of the country to discuss
this plank at tho first regular meeting In
January. He says he calls for this
new agitation because he has letters
from tho south and west. saying the
issue Of bonds. as asked by Carlisle. will be
considered sufficient provocation ito justify
q call to arms. He deprecates such &
course and suggests that, on tho first at
tempt by congress to grant the authority
asked. members of the order from Maine TO
Califo MIA hold indignation meetings and
send pr otests to their members of congress.
He says tho issue OF bonds Is an outrage
and should brand with eternal inff my
every name connected with the disreputa-
BILE transaction.
The paper continues by saying a sum
tine country is paid in interest every nix
months which means that on an average
every six months the people must reborrow
the money from the interest takers with
new securities. Thus tho compound sys-
tenn e ows. and if not checked it will alb
sorb all the wealth and leave the laborer in
abjsct servitude.
