Story of IL Young Man ana Girl.
This is story of IL young man and girl
The girl was pretty. The young man
Thought she was the most beautiful being
he had ever seen.
lie met her i'll the house of Il friend in the
village in which She lived lie WAS tlazed.
lie followed her around the entire evening
He tried to make an impression. and whcn
he came away le thought he had impressed
her, and he was in the seventh heaven Of
delight.
lie came back to Buffalo. He talked of
the girl by day and dream of her by night
business kept him from going again to the
village which held the radiant being within
its corporate limits He did not know her
well enough To write to her. He mopcd
His eyes grew dim. He was ~ sorely strick-
en- with love us Il man could be and main
tain anything like his mental poise.
Last week one day he heard that she was
In this city visiting friends He was wild
with delight y day later friend of the
friends with whom the divinity was stay
ing came to him and said that he thought
he could fix things SO the stricken young
man could take the southern tier girl to the
theater. The young man implored him to
do SO, and he did.
In the days between the theater going and
i'll dream. He invited married friend
and his wife to go along and net us chap
erons They said they would. lie looked
his dress clothes over carefully, had them
cleaned and pressed, bought II new pair of
gloves and fixed himself up regardless of
cost.
The night came. The young man went
after the girl with Il carriage 1t was the
best one he could hire. He had the four
best seats in the theater. They saw the
play, and he took them to the SWEETEST cafe
i'll town and had luncheon. He ordered
champagne like II California millionaire.
Then they drove home. The girl talked
of inconscquential matters. She had liked
the play. She told the young man that She
would bc in the cityu month longer They
reached the house Of her friends. lie helped
her out of the carriage, and she tripped I'M
the steps, said Good night" sweetly and
vanished behind the heavy doors.
The young man got in the carriage and
drove back to the city He was so full of
the image of the girl that he was down
town before he had time to think of any
thing else. Then one eXtraneous thought
dld come to him. He sat up straight in
the carriage and swore big, triangular
oath.
She had not asked him to call!
lie got out of the carriage and went into
hotel. lie sought the reading room and

Suggestions For Highway Improvement

'''bN'''i't' w Improvement.
There isno argument against highway
improvement. The only question is us to
cost. While certain farming ncighhor-
hoods OF the west have excellent hard
roads, made of gravel and perfectly good
the year round, it will be Il long time
before such improvements will become
general. Meanwhile there should be I'm
improvement i'll roadmaking methods.
The system by which farmers work out
their road taxes by scraping the mud
that has been washed off the roads into
the cutters or bitches back again into
the roadways ought to be abandoned.
Road taxes should be collected in
cash, us school taxes are, and expended
Ill accordance With some we'll defined
plan looking to the permanently of the
work done. Suitable machinery should
be purchased. bitches should be dug
Filing should be put III, and the use of
wagons with broad tires should be in
sisted ON. The work should be carried
forward year by year on scientific prin-
clplcs by competent men, and the cost
would not be greater than the present
wastcful methods.
The result would be that III a few
years the highways would be practically
all that the farmcr would require for
tho economical and easy handling of
his business. Chicago Record.

 BosToN, April 19.-The National League of Baseball Clubs opens its chamionships season today with more encouraging prospects than in any year since the Giants captured the pennant Brooklyn plays here, New York in Baltimore, Philadelphia in Washington, Chicago in Cincinnati, Cleveland in Louisville, Pittsburg in St. Louis Here and in all these cities great preparations have been made 8t0 make opening day memorable SThe New Yorks are particularly for tunate this year in players. The men have all been working hard #during March, and as result every player on the team is pounds better than he was at this time last year. Another good sign which careful ob- Servers have noticed is the enthusi- asm and ginger the players have ehown in the preliminary work. Murphy, Westervelt, Farrell and Meakin, the new players, will show gun splendidly, and Rusie seems Co be in his old-time form. The Pittaburg team is especially strong this year, and there are those who say the ptnnant will be fought out between it, New York and Boston. z Foutz has kept his men busy in the gymnasium when it was too cold ior outdoor work. Foutz is particu- alarly well pleased with his pitchers, and he thinks that Kennedy, Stein, @Daub and Sharrott will cause the sleague batsmen great deal of Mfrouble this year. Foutz is also Satisfied with his infield and outfield, and he says that for everyday fatchers Dailey and Kinslow cannot be beaten.
 # Von der Ahe, of St. Louis, seems *lileased with the preliminary work S'l his team, and looks to very sue cessful season.

 This report certainly reflects great credit upon the Citizens committee.
