MARRYING In Haste.

Some people have very queer views of
matrimony. They allow the clergyman
to put the double team harness on, and
then they begin to kick until they have
smashed the wagon into kindling wood
They sOlemnly swear to love, honor and
obey, but before the honeymoon is over it
is changed into vinegar moon. 1t is the
old story of the monkey and the parrot, for
the circus begins soon after the benediction,
and one of them starts for the divorce
courts before the confectioner has been
paid for the wedding cake.
There are several illustrations of these
statements close at hand. One young lady
informs us that she had rejected her lover
on three separate occasions, but finally sur
rendered because it was easier, on the whole,
to marry him than to keep telling him that
she wouldn't do it. They got into a quar-
rel on the way home, and the husband left
his beloved his prize, his treasure, his
duckling, In "A horse car while he went to a

OF all cranks the Anglo-SaXon crank is
the most entertaining, because he has an
idea that he can revolutionize the English
language by throwing out a number of
words that everybody uses and introducing
in their stead a number that nobody knows
anything about. The Anglo-Saxon maniac
has strong antipathy to all words that
are of Latin or Greek derivation, or in
deed of any derivation at all except Saxon
and proposes to throw them, neck and
crop, out of the English language and sub
stitute English words in their stead. One
of the tribe has recently published little
handbook of the proposed changes, which
is the most amusing tissue of absurdity
ever seen. According to this reformer
electricity should be fireghost, superan-
nuated should be overyeary, democracy
ought to be folkdom; criticism, deemster-
hood, and horizon, skyedge. For telegram
he would have us say wirespell, and for
| omnibus, folktrain. \ row of houses
ought to he housetwins, quadrangle
should be fourwinkle and an appendix,

would substitute highdeeds and peram-

A willy Husband.

A story is told of well known literary
man and his wife which would seem to in.
dictate that not all of the artifice and
scheming should be put down to women.
The couple referred to decided to repaper
certain room in their suburban home.
Although apparently simple enough this
undertaking proved to be "A difficult one, as
not only was the individual and diametric-
ally different taste of each Of the two to be
consulted, but the paper that was already
upon the walls of an adjoining room had
to be taken into consideration as well.
Again and again did the paper hanger, who
tells the story, come out with his big rolls
of samples to the suburban house, only to
return with the matter undecided, as the
wife was sure to dislike what the husband
liked, and vice versa
At length the husband had a private in
terview with Abe paper hanger and suggest
ed that the gordian knot be cut in this wise:
You bring out the very first roll that
you showed us, which suited me-" advised

4 Paradox of the Pole.

At the north pole there is only one direc,
tion-south. One could go south in as
many ways as there are points on the COM
pass card, but every one of these ways is
south; east and west have vanished. The
hour of the day at the pole is paradoxical
conception, for that point is the meeting
place of every meridian, and the time of all
holds good, so that it is always any hour
one cares to mention. Unpunctuality is
hence impossible-but the question grows
complex, and its practical solution con.
Germs few.
No one needs to go to the pole to discover
all that makes that point different from
any other point of the surface. But the
whole polar regions are full of unknown
things, which every arctic explorer of the
right stamp look forward to finding. And
the reward he looks forward TO most is the
approval Of the few who understand and
love knowledge for its own sake rather
than the noisy applause of the crowd who
would cheer him, after all, much as they
cheer winning prizellghter or race horse
| or political candidate. -McClure's Maya

Children who are allowed or rather en-
couraged to take nap in the daytime will
not only sleep just as well Mt night, but
will sleep much better because of it, Chill
dren who have been accustomed to it, when
for some special reason it is necessary to
miss it, become overtired, their nerves are
overtaxed, and it is sometimes quite trial
of patience TO get them quieted for the
night. The little ones need plenty of sleep
and if well will not sleep any more than is
good for them. Therefore, ] say, let them
sleep all that they will or can, and If your
boy will take nap during the day until he
is or years of age he will not be any the
worse for it. Rather in my way of think
ing, he will be great deal better forit and
so will the mother-that is, if he is as active
and noisy as the average wee laddies, Sc

the contrary, encourage him to keep it NJ

RHYMES ABOUT EYES.

Here is a handful
OF rhymes about eyes;
Perchance they are truthful,
Perchance they are lies.
The critics may flout them
And vow they are wrong.
But fig for their censure,
And here is my song.
Blue eyes for laughter,
Blue eyes for love,
Blue eyes that borrow
The azure above.
Green eyes for glory,
Gray eyes for greed,
Brown eyes for beauty;
Who runs so may read.
Calm eyes for courage
When contests begin;
Deep eyes for daring,
And squint eyes for sin.
Mems eyes for wisdom,
Maids eyes for mirth,
Babes eyes for secrets
Too sacred for earth.
Look now and listen.
The last rhyme appears;
IT'S young eyes and old eyes
And all eyes for tears
These lines that I've ended
In surrowful wise,
Think you they are truthful,
Or think you they're lies2

 Desire to Strike.
HoLDlNeA CONFERENCE AT TOLEDO

The Ann Arbor Road Refuses to Take
 Company Win ProDaDiy Decide Against
 Its e1-Empioyes Arthur Holding AloOE.
 TOLEDO, April 19.-A conference held at the Hotel Hamilton, of the Chairmen of the Grievance Committees of the Lake Shore and Ann Arbor railroad Brother hood men and of three connecting lines The men were called together by Chair
 man G. w. Taylor of the Ann Arbor, who
 seems to have taken the place of Grand Chief Arthur in handling the strikers.
 There are about thirty of the chaiymen, and they represent nearly all of the great
 railway systems of this part of the North.
 It is secret, of course. James Mellish of the Grand Rapids & Indiana is author ty for the statement that Mir Taylor had called the meeting after due discussion amc2: the brethren.
 A decision in thesLake Shore applications for reinstatement of the eight men who struck is expected at almost any time, and the men agree in the belief that it will be adverse to them. They expect that the Lake Shore will offer to re-employ the strikers, but not to reinstate them, which
 will not be acceding to the Brotherhood's request.
 In such case unity and prompt action Is, desired. MT. Mellish will not say what the action will be, but judging from the re- marks dropped hero and there the men will go out on general strike, as no other kind of action could be taken that would be effective or available Other men said the same
 Some of the older labor men are trying to discourage the idea of striking or of in- stituting boycott, The younger men, however, are full of fire, and are determ- ined to make demonstration. It Is said that the proceedings are without the con
 sent or knowledge of Chief Arthur.
 Tho excitement has broken out again as intensely as ever, and every one is wonder ing what will come next.
 Some kind of restraing order is soon ex pected from the Ashleys. The Ann Arbor men say that the Ashleys have agreed to take back all but the eight men who aband- oned their trains on the main track, but beth General Manager Harry Ashley and his father, the president, deny this.

Jonas stood beside his desk, facing the street in a moment of idleness; he was so tall that he could see over the mahogany railing that screened the bank interior from the glance of pass ers-by. 1t was cold weather outside and he had q sense of snug warmth and his own privileged position, yet the thought crossed his mind that it would be good day to go through a piece of woods and mark trees for chopping; There would be no wind in the woods. Somehow he could not get over the habit of planning farm work. At this moment he noticed m ancient-covered chaise which belonged to the elderly farmer who was just arranging his financial business.

He looked at the shaggy strong old horse, used for plow- ing and as roadster by turns, and calculated the probable age and worth of the good beast before he saw the bright eyes beyond Then a little thrill of curiosity and pleasure, such as he had never felt before, pervadei his frame. He felt new sense of waicful ness and cheerful alacrity. The girl in the buggy looked at him as he looked at her, and if the truth were known the eyes of Jonas were the first to turn away. Hathaway softly reminded him that it was business hours, and Jonas bent sideways kimberly into the chair before his own desk. Hathaway rose for an instant to see what was interest
