Most men get an idea that they own
their wives.
Every engaged nan in the world has his
times when he wishes he hadn't.
A woman always remembers what a
man says when lie proposes, SO she can
throw it up to him.
After the first SIX months d man kisses
his vie, and she calls him dear" from
force of habit.
One of the fictions which women insist
most on is tliat there is no use in a mans
trying TO understand them.
A woman never finally makes up her
mind about another woman until she sees
how much style sheputs O. ut her funeral.

PROGRESSING FINELY
Are the Arbitration Negotiations with
Great Britain.

WAsHINGToN. Aug. Is. The dispatch
of Secretary Olney 10 Sir Julian
Pauncefote, British ambassador, re-
ferred to in the house of commons de-
bate, was considered bv many the most
important document in the arbitra-
ton correspondence between this
country and Great Britain.
The dispatch was devoted TO { dis
cussion Of proposals Submitted 10y Lord
Salisbury for the settlement Of the
Venezuelan boundary dispute and con
cludcd with counter-proposal which,
Mr.. BalfOur said. were regarded by
the foreign Office as opening the way
for an equitable settlement Of the diff.
iiculty~
State department officials are highly
grafificd with the tone Of Mr.. Bal
four's reply TO Sir William Harcourt's
query about the effect on the govern
ment Of the dispatch, and while. in the
absence of Secretary Olney, who has
been exclusively in charge of the
negotiations. nothing definite can be
learned of the succeeding corre-
spondcnce. If any, that passed. con-
idence is impressed that an agreement
will be reached before next Decem Der
for an exhaustive arbitration Of the
Venezuela n-Guiannn controversy.
