Now look at that letter" said young
Summers, as he threw scented, square
envelope across the cafe ia BILE What
would you think to find that in your
letter-box when you came into the
club?'
Why" said the visitor, picking it
up, and noticing the delicate handwrit-
ing Il should think that some fair
young woman was going to invite me
to drink tea with her tomorrow after.
noon"
DO you know, that's just what I
thought when l saw it, and that's why
i am disguised. The other night at
the horse show 1 was introduced to an
awfully pretty girl who lives up the
avenue, The next night 1 met her
again at the Van Hartman's, and we
had quite chat. She promised to
send me her card. / thought this was
it. It's shame
ooh, but she may send it yet; 1
wouldn't despair SO soon"
1T isn't that. It's the idea of getting
such letter as that instead of the one
1 expected. Don't you see what it lisp"
! do you want me to read it?"
'You may if you care for such things
There is nothing private about things
that gain your confidence under false
pretences or perfumed and sealed en-
velopes and feminine hands. It's get
ting outrageous that one should at
every turn have his heart set beating
with visions of pretty notes, only to
find printed slips telling you of the
virtues of the --latest clothes-clean
blishment and the low-priced
menu of the new restaurant on the
corner. That note informs me that 1
can have my trousers pressed regularly
once week for twenty-five cents and
the wagon will call to get them. Isn't
that a romantic message to crave re-
spectful attention in polite and in
sinuating guise?"-N. Y. Tribune.

A Young Woman Tells Why Women Pay

A Young Woman Tells Why Women Pay
Their Car Fare In Pennies.
He wanted to pay her car fare, but
she said:
ooh, no! 1 have the change right
here p
And as his gloves were very new and
rather tight, though you could never
have wrung such an admission from
him, she had deity extracted five pen,
MES from ridiculous little purse she
carried and had put them into the con-
ductor's grimy hand before he got his
fingers into his change pocket.
REALLY, now! that was too bad of
you!" he said, and then he put the
handle of his stick in his mouth and re-
garded with meditative eyes, that ride,
ulous little purse of hers.
ooh! p he said at last.
She looked at him with an attentive
smile.
"Ah!" he said again. 81 think
''Now she said, with an air of as
constituent. but he did not hear.
Il think have noticed that you Ia
dies generally pay your car fare in
pennies"
She waited
81 thought"
Don't do it again." she murmured.
81 thought had noticed it"
He looked appealingly at her, but
her smile remained expectant.
"Well?" was all she said
"Ah.'' he remarked, with a weary.
disappointed air, would you mind tell.
ing me why you do it?"
There was faint CLEAN in her eye
as she replied:
ooh, 1 really don't know exactly.
think there are several reasons One
is it is a game to give and take. Women
pay their fare in pennies because the
conductors give them pennies in
change. You never see a conductor
unloading his penny pocket upon men.
A man can carry small change much
better than woman. he has a pocket
specially dedicated to that purpose.
whereas woman has one purse or
pocketbook for all of her money and
various other things besides Still, it
is always into the woman's hand that
the conductor counts out the pennies
he wants to get rid of. ] think (but
it's a bad habit, and / wouldn't do i.
often if were you that he does it be-
cause womans purse is SO small that
an occasional penny drops out and the
conductor gets It. The women give
the conductors pennies on the principle
of paying him back in his own coin.
And the reason some men do not pay
their fare ir pennies is because 1t is too

FALSE PRETEN SES.
From the Newton Kansan.

From the Newton Kansan.
Receiver Hessler Of the Enid, O. T.,
land office reports that up to the three
months ending Dec. 81, he had taken in
$9i. $3.50, which sum he has RENTED
to the department at Washington. This
is vast sum to collect from the poor
''homesteaders' Of that small district.
What does it mean? 1t means the last
dollar of the savings of thousands of
poor people. 1t means more. 1t means
for the next year at least, a mojority Of
those who paid it, will have to get along
without fuel, clothing and food. 1t
means privation, distress, starvation. of
men, women and helpless children, and
all in the sacred name of homestead.
What misn omer, what parody.
The United States congress should
make all haste to undo the wrong per-
petrated upon these people by refunding
every dollar of that money, as well as
relieving the settler from the payment
of any sum whatever for his land.
Homestead indeed. Every quarter sec
ito of that land is covered with a gov.
eminent mortgage of from $160 to $500
the moment it is filed upon. The
phrase "homestead'' attracted tens Of
thousands of poor people with the idea
that the land was free, and being there
they risk every dollar they have in the
world to hold their claim. If ever any
thing was gotten by false pretense, the
money wrung from these settlers was
and is gotten that way. Disgorge,
Uncle Sam, disgorge.
