THE SITUATION ANALYzED.

"You have no objection to me person

remarked the young lady's somewhat
elderly admirer.

are not acting as proxy for some other
man?'
GAS proxy" Do l understand you
correctly, Mrs. Feathercroft? AS a
proxy for some other man? Certainly
not"
"In asking me to he your wife you
meant yours individually did you not?"
Il certainly did,"
Then my objections to marry you,
Mr.. Glaspy, must have some personal
application to yourself must they uot?"
"Of course but"
Very good, Let US dispose of this
first. You asked me to marry you:
declined. You inquired whether had
any objections to you In reply if you
were acting as agent for some other man.
You said you were not, Now, then, if
the fact be considered established that
you wish me to marry you and l refuse
to do so it follows inexorably that my
refusal is based on the fact that il is
you yourself whom l do not wish to
marry. Do you follow me?
"I-I think do" said Mr.. Glaspy,
somewhat bewildered, "but-"
"One moment. Observe now that
this refusal has nothing to do with any
other man. Hence, whatever reasons |
may have for not wishing to marry you
apply to you personally and nobody else.
Therefore they are personal to yourself.
Is that entirely clear to you,
"Why, yes gssped the discounted
Mr.. Glaspy hslplessly, "but still"
Hence, it must be apparent to you,'
she proceeded, raising her voice, pointing
her finger at him argumentatively, and
following his now retreating form around
the room. at must be apparent to you
that do have some objections to your
question or rather your assumption, to
characterize it more accurately was
founded on manifest misconceptions.

"You needn't Miss Feathercoft, ex-
claimed Mr.. Glaspy, re recovering himself.
You needn't proceed to state objections

on firmly grasping his hat. "But for
those objections might have been by

UP AND AT IT..

Say! Is this world an idling place.
For man: with hands unified,
To let Times current flow apace
TIL to the brink he's driited?
Is it couch whereOn TO moan
And magnify sorrow?
And sigh whene'er the day is gone
As if there were no morrow?
Isit place wherein to fret
And turn all work to travail,
Our dream our lot on earth is set,
Old mysteries to unravel?
Why close our tent at morning dawn,
And, laziIy, reclining,
9rowl out with many a sleepy yawu,
The sun is never shining?
70 whine o'er trouble as we may,
VIII make its weight no lighter,
And grumbling FER cloudy day
viii make the skies no brighter.
Light always shines within the heart
Ufeyery man right minded,
But ne VINO Spllts llSNIuSs apart
Becometh co OlOr-blinded.
The eng inc. idle in the mill,
Grows stiff and stain'd and rusted:
The ship that saileth never, will
BE barnacle- -encrusted.
Shall we not lend lifting hand
To him whose foot may stumble?
For who can hope he'll always stand
Without a slip or tumble?
A wretch were man with naught to do,
A blessed boon is labor,
When stead lastly our way we hew
And envy not our neighbor.
His bundle has its Gro eked sticks,
Whatever be his station;
His heart may have is mental pricks
That sting to desperation.
Then covet not another's pelf-
sting is in the honey;
God works with upright men Himself
And pays in hea venly money.

eight hours has made this city verita-
BILE oven is booked to exhaust itself

the heat Is more oppressive owing to

50 8 mean. This was from u. m. yester-

point on the Thermometer.
People have moved about the city In a
listless way, avoiding the sunny side OF
he street as much as possible and mop
ping their faces. The amount of bever-
ages consumed has ben enormous and
he soda fountains have done a thriving
business. The indications are now for
clearing thunder storm, after which IL
will be cooler.
Very few people enjoyed a com fort
able nights rest In thIs city last night.
The oppressiveness of the heat, and the
entire absence of breeze, made sleep

Last Nights Keception-some of the
Notable Drawings Exhibited.

The Rhode Island Technical Drawing
school was organized six years ago. foI
the purpose of giving special Instruction
in engineering aud architecture. 1t was
chiefly d, signed to educate those who
were unable to pursue the four years
urse in institutes of technology out
who desired to spend one or two years In
the study or special branches or eDgi-
neering or architecture.
The demand for such special training
as this school has afforded, has rapidly
increased. and the unique position which
il has held among the educational insti-
tutions Of the country has made it widely
known outsidasof the state. IL Is un{or-
tunate, however. that its great success
should result ia its transfer from Rhode
Island to Massachusetts, as Mr.. Gardner
