Both letters were finished at the same

Next morning he received answers to
both. The business manager wrote
that he regretted very much that Mr..

young ladies. He also regretted that

to return, would indicate and that she
therefore begged to enclose 81 to reim-

young lady and vice versa. He has

Life Buoy.

An Ingenious new life-buoy has been
invented by a Swiss engineer, and tried
recently at Geneva. The buoy contains
an air-cell, which is automatically in
fiated by means Of the vapor of chloride
of methyl as soon as it enters the water.
1t is also supplied with a sealight of the
Holmes description-that is, capsule
containing phosphide of calcium
which, when wetted by the water
yields bright, torch-like fame, lasting
for three-quarters of an hour. The
principle of the buoy is also applied to
a life-saving dress. The buoy itself,
however, has the appearance of an air
pillow, and is simply bound across the
chest.

The funny part of this letter-writing
proclivity that he has lies in the fact
that he cannot write letter himself,
but depends on a literary friend In the
same Office, whose vocabulary Ia wide
and whose pen is facile.
Last week he found new love. This
one was incomparable-supe
loveliest and most engaging creature on
earth. He met her at social function,
waltzed with her. and his enslavement
was complete. So eager was he to
write her letter that he hurried to
the Office two hours early next morning
and as soon as his literary friend ar
rived he insisted upon his preparing q
letter. He wanted something warm, he
said-something that would simply

he got.it. The letter that was prepared
was a scorcher, as 1t did all but pro-

ern part of Wisconsin, are being rapidly
taken up by actual settlers.
The most salable are the timber and
meadow lands now ranging in price from,
$500 to $500 per acre. A few months
hence their value will be greatly increas-

For home or for investment no Iuckier
chance in the West has ever before been
