I'VE manners. what else We're men SOOO
for but to make themselves attractive to
women? She concluded that if all the
men of his day were like Harold Win
throp she did not wonder that the war
of the revolution between the sexes had
taken place. She decided to punish him
for his brazen effrontery by treating him
with 10 more respect than she would
have accorded, another woman, and thus
il happaHeI that she and Harold were
enabled to set On quite comfortably TO-
setl.er. Ileir Ia X was mostly Of the
differences which Harold noted in the
city during the LAST hundred years, aid
he made himself very entertaining by
desert bing the streets as lie raIneii pared
them. It was net until he arose to leave
that tho difference in customs was
touched upon. Then he precipitaCed the
discussion By asking if he might not
call again very soon.
Lefty looked embarrassed. It was not
easy for Ler to tell this handsome young
man that be was in danger of getting
himself talked about most unpleasantly,
lut she had almost resolved to ask him
to be her husband should she succeed
in making him little more conven-
tionaI, and she did Lot like the thought
that be might become an object ct IN
pleasant comment among other women.
II aenel 20 her that under the circuIn-
stances there was but enc course for her
to pursue.
My dear young man, she said, with
tender gravity. don't you know that
it vii net do for you to call on women
in this way? You would be criticised
most unEindly. Tell me instead when
YOU will be at home that l may call
upon you-that is, if you will grant me
that pleasure.
Grant you the infernal-I beg your
pardon, MADAM! | am not a l1otane
man by nature, but such nonsense would
sci Gabriel.
"iuch nonscDse!" repeated Lefty.
Surely, my dear young man, you must
have misunderstood -
Did you not propose to call on me
at ny housc?' interrupted Harold,
who in his disgust had quite forgotten
that he was not living in the century in
which he was born.
II Gid. Is it SO distasteful to you -
"Diatastetul? Why, hang it all, don I
you see that could not permit you tc
90 a thing ike that:''
II must admit, replied Lefty stiizly,
that ] do not see. I should be pleased
fo bcnr yoy-T nvrlI2pltiDr -
why, there'd be 10 end Of talk
among the Sossips, and il the follows
should get hold CT it d be chahed clean
cut Of 1ny wits. Ny dear child, believe
HE, you Eustn' think OF doing such q
thing"

IN ali her life Lefty had not heard
such language IS this from t1e lips Of a
young man. She was inexpressibly
shocked, yet wijhal she was Interested.
It was quite delightful, she told herself,
to meet one so very unconventional, but
she Gid not care 20 lie sen in his com
pary ~ ot4cr men whose good opinion
sho might ono day wi h to win. AL
though she had lo1gcd Ill her life TO
meet man different from the men Of
her acquaintance, now tIat che stood
face to face with him she wished him
to lie properly conventional.
Harold had roc finished speaking
when he Suddenly reali ed that this was
the twentieth century, aLd that the
world had changed while be slept.
"Do you mean to say he demanded,
with (; Sudden change Of tone that was
almost lutlicrous, that it is the custom
in this unenlightened community for
ladies to call upon gentlemen?'
Il most CO tainly do, y replied Lefty.
"WeIl.' returned Harold after lit
tie period Of silence, Il think il we are
to be frjcnds''--
"As we should for :;randma's sake,
eagerly int8rposed Lefty, who was SO
anxious to continue the acquaintance
Mat she did not think how her remark
riwht be taken until it had escaped her
lips.
Oh, MY dear fellow" she added
quickly, Il beg your pardon, I'm sure!'
Lefty was consumed with mortiGca
ton. She had always been careful not
to remind any man that he was growing
older every year and consequently less
attractive, aud it was cxasperating that
she should row have been 50 thought]ess
as to remind this beautiful young fell
low that he had been the recipient OF
her grandmother loyerlike attentions.
AS will be seen, Lefty did not quite I'M
dcrstand the ccurtships Of the nineteenth
perhaps because a number OF
the bCGks which her grandmother had
left her had been written by Howells.
Harold was far from being pleased.
It is never pleasant to be reminded,
more especially Ey a handsome young
woman. that one belongs to a past cen
fury. Lefty could not but perceive that
he was hart.
"Whas can I say?" she asked, dis
tressed beyond measure at his silence.
As she spoke she went to his side and
tenderIy took his hand in hers. Her
touch thrilled him. while it angered
him, and he pulled his hand away,
quite as Il grieved young girl might
have done in his Gay. The action re-
minded Lefty of previous firt lions,
and she began to feel moro at home
with him. She quickly decided that,
after all, young men were all very much
alike, and that there was none Of them
who could not be won by the lucy
young woman who knew how to work
upon their suscepti bilities. She was
congratulating herself on the pleasure
she would have in Irritation with this
coquettlsh young fellow when her dream
was rudely shattered by the look of de-
and stood before her.
Miss Everett, he said frankly, Il
should like to become better acquainted
with you, but I cannot sacrifice all my
ideas of the fitness of things to the alb
surd customs Of this generation.
Are our customs more absurd than
yours were?' asked Lefty.
They seem so TO me.
MAY that not be because you are not
used to them:''
perhaps so. However, [ do not mean
to conform to them in any way that

HIGGINS FAyoRs LIGHT.

Whenever man puts himself up
in community to think that he is
the only fellow that has got any
sense or any taste, that fellow is a
fool and needs "the idea " That
fellow who imagines because he was
elected TO certain trust that he is
above criticism, wants to get out OF
that trust as quick as possible. That
fellow who lmagines that every
sunbeam is around his little mind
and that all he has to do to bring
darkness or light is to jTst pull one
of these little sunbeams, that fell
low is a fool, and needs q man to

We call upon all the citizens of
Waco to witness the Waco Trading
Company has never advocated a
policy or a prejudice, but has stuck
to plain principles of right, and if
sticking to that principle would
mash our business and drive us to
the wall as business concern, we
would follow that principle. We
are not hunting office or promotion
by our fellow man, but are only
asking right and fairness in al
things.
We are selling refrigsrators very
cheap on stallments, as we'll as other
goods. Yours truly,
