As a lender of one Of the most successful
gangs of robbers and desperadoes that

gained wonderful fame. but he declares
he is not as black us painted. 81 have

Statistics OF How Men and women
Act at an Interesting Moment.
There IL a clever statistician who
could teach a thing or two to the ov-
elist. This statistician has attempted
to classify the action and methods Of
proposals, and, as a result, has present,
ed tabulated figures extremely interest,
ing to psychologists, says the Philadel.
phia Times. Out Of 100 cases ~thirty-six
gentlemen take lady in arms, sixty-sev-
en- gentlemen kiss lady IN lips, four
gentlemen kiss lady on cheek, three
gentlemen show very good taste by
kissing lady on eyes and two gentlemen
kiss lady on hand. It is to be presumed
these two out Of q hundred are tho
timid, dif1dent kind, though 1t is possi-
BILE that they might be Of the quietly
sentimental nature. One gentleman
kisses a lady on nose. 1t must be added
that the statistician Is careful to insertY
the saving clause (by mistake). There
is even a record of a man kissing a lady
on edge of shawl, but, thank goodness
there is only n in a hundred, and the!
chances are that this man Is peculiar.i
Seventy-two hold lady's hand, seven
teen hold 1t very tightly, fourteen have
Jumps in their Threats and nine exclaimI
aloud: "Thank God!" Only seven out
of a hundred declare themselves to be-

for %utterance. Three out of a hundred
stand on one foot when they make pro-!
posal and two go down IN one knee,
while nine make q formal prelude
something like the slow music in the
play, We suppose, when the villain up!
peals to heaven to witness the consum-I
ing flame of his affections for the heart
he plots to ruin, etc.
The behavior of the lady under the
circumstances is equally entertaining
and instructive. Out of a hundred
cases e%ighty-one sink into the arms Of
gentleman, siXty-eight rest their heads,
on gentleman's breast and only ono
sinks into the arm of q chair; eleveni
clasp their arms around the gentle-
mans neck, six weep tears of joy SILENT
ly and forty-four weep tears aloud
whatever that means; seventy-two
have eyes full of love, and nine out Of
a hundred rush from the room and tell
everybody. Only four are greatly sur
prised, and eighty-seven Of q hundred
knew that something was coming. Five
giggle Historically and one even
sneezes. Only one of a hundred strug-
giles not to be kissed, while six kiss
gentleman first. If we believe the sta
tistician, one out of q hundred women
will say: eyes, but don't be a fool"
