The one was not quito "5 foot boy, "

the boy undertook to say something
about having o O'Clock papers to sell,
whereupon the windows ratified and the

"a little louder, please" he said.
"Huh?" returned tho boy inquiringly.
"Speak q little louder. Have You lost

Tho other passengers laughed, and the

May and Nratrimony.

The pagans had q myth that "only
bad women marry in May" They had
another, that If the marriage did take
place the couple would live most unhap-
PLY, and children born Of the marriage
If 1t was not hopelessly rendered bar
rem by thus slapping the fates in the
face-would be deformed or imbecile.
With prizes like that in prospect, 1t Is
not much wonder that the ignorant and
superstitious taboo May marriages, but
there is no excuse yet for this idiosyn-
Grassy of thinking people--at least. no
sensible one
Ovid was firm believer in the su-
perstition and said that no widow or
young girl would marry in May unless
she wished to invite the displeasure of
the gods. and that the imprudent wom-
an who braved their wrath would fill an
early grave Ovid pinned his faith to
rosy June, the birth month Of June. and
when he got ready to launch his daugh-
ter on tho matrimonial sea he studied
tho stars and all the superstitions to
mako sure that he would not run upon
Scylla in steering off Charybdis.
Resolved to match the girl. he tried to find
What days unprosperous were. what moons
were kind.
After June's sacred ides his fancy strayed-
Good to the man and happy to the maid.

A BACHELOR MAID.

Once there lived bachelor maiden.
Years and years ago ~,
And her mind with truth was laden
But her heart was cold as snow.
For she thought, with good old Plato
She could live alone,
So she smiled on many a sutton,
But her heart was hard rs stone.
Came bachelor man a-suing
For her friendship true.
This. alas, was her undoing,
AS 1t might have been with you.
For her friendship still he sued her
Such simple thing
Till before she knew no wooed her,
Wooed her with friendship ring.
Now, although she's fond Of Plato.
Her cold hearts grown warm,
And her theories Of living
Have imbibed a wondrous charm,
For she says: " TITS human nature,
Spite of Plato's pen.
Men were made for loving women,
Women made for loving men,"

A CURE FOR HOUSE NERVES.
An Ailment That Is superinduccd by Too

An Ailment That Is Superinduccd by Too
Much Seclusion.
Energetic, care FREQ individuals laugh
ut tho suggestion of such an ailment as
house nerves and say It is only imaginary.
But thousands of women will testify 9th
erwise.
People Of sedentary habits who spend
all their time indoors frequently become
morbid, brooding and irritable The fail
ure of any member of the family to reach
homo at the usual time brings forth gloomy
forebodings of disaster. The absence Of
any one at night causes floor walking and
tears, even though such person. be of ma
ture years, sound health and abundant
ability to care for himself. A projected
journey Is overcast by recitals Of horrible
accidents. Meals arc unsatisfactory, clothes
never fit, no ono sympathizes or condolos
with the sufferer.
The reasons Of house nerves are legion.
Introspection is one Let woman sit at
home day after day, week In and week
out, and analysis of everything and person
within her ken naturally follows, herself
included. A woman who studies herself,
her wants and desires, her ailments and
loneliness, Is on fair road to an asylum,
did she but know it.
Some women, 1t Is true, are tied down
by children and household cares to cease
less indoor life, but they arc not generally
tho ones who suocumb to house nerves,
ono reason being that, forced out OF con-
tact with others, they yearn always for
the privilege OF mingling In somo sort of
society, embracing every chance thrown In
their way toward that end. But the wom-
an who stays ut home because sho might
get sick by venturing out in the cold OF
because her neighbor can entertain better
than she can or dress better, or perhaps
the habit has become fixed by degrees to
that extent that it Is like parting with a
tooth to get out Of tho routne-this is the
woman who broods and fancies and cries
over montal pictures of oatastrophes that
never happen and meets troubles which
never come
Any parent who owns highly imagi-
native child owes IL to society at large to
throw It In with healthy, merry compan-
Ions, who always effect complete cure,
for mirth Is infectious But II tho unhap-
py owner Is roprcssod and kept indoors,

season will occur that month The re-
naming months of the summer and early

to create the impression that they can be

days before they occur, but snow frogs,
