Ida asked, what is the feeling of
lover" Answer: Love is a very COM
plex and complicated combination Of
sensations There are more frost and
fever, more bliss and agony, more smiles
and tears and more exhilaration and des-
peration to the square inch in love than
in all the other experiences Of the hu-
man family. Philosophers and sages
have tried in vain, ever since the world
began. to find out just exactly what it
is. 1t is altogether likely that Ida could
answer the question quite as well as the
prophets Of old.-New York Ledger

Received by the Bride Elect.

Somewhat apropos Of weddings, at
least Of weddings that may be, is a story
told by one of the leading statesmen for
well known jewelry house. 1t is not
uncommon for brides elect just after the
election to resort to some sort Of clever
artifice TO find out the intrinsic value Of
the glittering bauble that proclaims her
to be his. Sometimes they do their own
detective work, but perhaps more fire.
quently a curious mother takes charge
of it, under the impression, as she makes
you believe, that if the ring is all it is
pretended to be the giver's character is
like it, The originator Of that theory
has never been discovered. The disciples
are legion
The salesman in question was ap-
preached by woman Of the fashion

the experienced young man behind the
counter thought he recognized the symp-

looked at the young lady

She was shown case after case Of dia

her. Finally she said to the daughter,
"Show him yours, dear. Blushingly
she took off her glove and slipped o
sparkling ring from her engagement
finger.

How much will it cost?''
The salesman looked at the ring, and
the girl watched him as bravely as she
could. BE recognized it AS one he had
sold to Mr.. Blank few days before.

The name of Joliet has had so many
pronunciations and has been the cause
of so many puns that the Hon H. V.

Of Joliet has considered this poem Of
enough Importance to have it printed
and distributed in the public schools.

Many preparations contain strong chem

A Word for the Parson.


Not only ON the Bowery but at Rockford,
Ill, they do queer things. Charges have been
preferred against clergyman of that town be-
cause he wears borrowed coat in the pulpit
and breaches from borrowed book. 1t is also
alleged that he is in debt. These charges are
possibly well founded. The laborer in the
vineyard of the Lord is not overpaid these days
unless his section of the vineyard is located in
one OF the fashionable quarters of q big city
He is usually sincere, or he would not face
starvation when he could do better in another
calling, but certainly his poverty should not
be charged against him as q sin. The Rockford
people can easily remedy the shortcomings Of
their vicar. Let them bring him new coat
and..a new Bible, let them pay his debts and
give him few dollars to jingle in his clerical
trousers Then if he proves to be a bad
preacher or dishonest man they may let him
go But not because he is poor. The Master
whom he serves was poor, and this, of all the
seasons of the year, is the worst time in which
to make crime Of poverty. Chicago Herald.
