A MEAN TRICK.
From the Chicago News.

He had often tried to propose to her,
but she was such a very tippant Young
person that he found it impossible to re-
duce her to a sufficiently serious frame of
mind. Then, too, he was by no means
certain as to her feelings toward him
self
However, he was denied the satisfac-
tion of even well grounded suspicion. She
had such battling sort of manner Never
had he been able to surprise her into an
admission of anything, however trifing,
which might be taken as an Indication
that he aroused within her emotions of
any kind whatever. 1t was certainly
very difficult TO know what to do.
Many times had he almost taken advan-
tage of momentary silence on her part.
Times without number had he nearly
clasped her in his arms as she pirouetted
past him, but she was too quick for him
The bOldest effort on his part had been
made one evening after he had brought a
friend to call upon her Minna, Bob and
the friend had all sat in the kitchen and
pulled taffy. Next evening Bob said,
sheepishly:
do you know, Minna, what key was
tellin' me last nightl'
"How could l know without you told
mel" returned Minna, with spirit She
was washing dishes and she clattered
them in the pan.
He was asking me If were going to
marry you"
And what did you tell him?"
''Told him l didn't know"
THAT was right" said Minna, swirlipg
the dishclOth around.
And he-he said I was burned fool if
didn't"
Minna went of into peals of laughter.
Then she sobered up.
Didn't what!n
Didn't marry YOU
$50 you would be-if you got the
chance" was the prompt reply.
That's what l told him-if / got the
chance; but can't get the chance" de-
jectedly.
What right had you to tell him YOU

with emphasis.
"Jes' what / thought" said Bob, dis
mally. Guess I'd better 60"

the dishpan and hung il up on the nail
behind. IF / was you I'd learn a few
things before l came courtin'."
But you're a big sight clevern me-"
answered Bob, meekiy
That's So said Minna, iaCOEically, as
Bob passed dejectedly out Of the kitchen
door.
On thinking over the interview on the
way home Bob thought that on the whole
he had not made much progress
A few DAYS later hope returned, bright
eyed aud smiling, aud Bob determined 70

"Oh, no, no :" said Nina, tearfully.

"Oh, don't, don't, don't, Bobl can't

aloud, and seeing this Nina, too, wept
aloud.
"Oh, Bob" she cried, chow could you
be $3.50" and she burst out again into
tears.
Bob restrained himself from embracing
her, and shook his head dismally.
Dunno, Minna" he said, in a choking
voice; "but there amt no help for IL now,

She nodded.

fully. tits awful good In you"
A moment elapsed before he started on
the real bushes of courtship-he had to
proceed carefully-and in that moment
Bob looked up at every jester of twink

and position, in spite of their having been
hoodwinked into so many questionable
transactions?
The natural query will be: Why did
allow so much time to elapse before pre-
pairing the inside history of the great
failure2 And to this reply, that now for
the first time since the failure am free
to say what l know and can prove. Now
the peculiar chain of situations that has
kept me silent is broken, and, if I, by the
devoting Of the remaining years of my life
to work, can clear the wrongfully accused
of the cloud they must be weary of re-
naming under and enlighten the public
whose sympathy personally neither ask
nor want-as to the true state of Grant
& Wards affairs, and the connection
past and present of others with the
house, l will consider that at least the
last half of my life has been spent work
ing in the right field.

MODERN BOOKS CANNOT LAST.
The Paper Used in a Majority Of Our
Publications Poor and Perishable.
From the Mail and Express.


Publications Poor and Perishable.
From the Mail and Express
The bibliophile Of the twenty-second
century, who, if he resembles his brother
of the nineteenth, will love first editions
simply because they are first editions,
and will hunt high and low for rare books
of generations past, is likely to find him
self in a sad plight Unless things change
very much there will then be no first edi-
tions of standard works Of this century
There will be reprints, of course. but
what is a reprint TO a true bibliophile2
The dainty volumes which one looks at
with such delight now will by that time
have crumbled away into nothing or
faded into worse than nothing.
PAPER OF POOR QUALITY.
The reason for all this is simply the
poor quality of the paper on which our
books are printed now. Publishers have
newed attention has been called to it by
an interview with G. f. Cross, an English
chemist, published in the Westminster
Gazette on the perishable quality Of
modern paper.
Mr.. Cross referred particularly to Eng

making of paper from wood pulp or grass
fiber, treated chemically. Minerals are
often added. A pure rag paper is seldom
made now. Information gathered from
experts among publishers and paper
manufacturers all point 10 the same thing.
Col. Daniel Appleton, Of the well-known
publishing house, said There Is no
doubt Of the fact that a great deal Of very
poor and perishaDle paper is used now ia
the making Of books. This Is especially
true Of cheap novels, where the quality Of

The statement is a general one and
except as far as the list Of stocks, bonds

which forms by far the largest item
