His Romance.

"Of course there's romance in my
life, assented Fromer, when it was in
timated that there was nothing of senti-
ment in his composition.
81 felt when l saw her, it's she or
none on EARTH is what Schiller wrote
In his Bride of Messina. That Is ex-
actly what felt when met the wom-
an of my romance. Nobody can describe
woman. You can rave about her
classic features, her speaking eyes, her
neck like a pillar of marble touched
with life, the graceful psyche knot that
she twists to "a crown of beauty, and all
that kind of rant, but after it is done
you can meet the woman and not know
her When l can picture soul, I'll go
into the business.
"Of course | was young when met
her. Otherwise l would have shown
some slight imitation of sense and sur
rendered by degrees. Love at first sight
is not uncommon, but it is restrained
by sense OF propriety, by pride or by
some other modifying influence Every
force in my being was cooperative. All
impelled me to fall in love. There was
no check, and fell to the very depths.
"She refused me very prettily and
very properly. l asked her if could
cherish no hope, intimating that to de-
prive me of hope would be Immediately
fatal. She gave me very scant allow
ance. Then went proudly away to win
fortune that might lay it at her feet
as an additional inducement In four
years returned. The woman was there,
just as had left her, but not my ideal
While was trying for moral strength
enough to recall my vows she was mus
tering courage sufficient to tell me she
was engaged to another man. She spoke
first. Then l was so mad at the other
fellow, whom l should have blessed.
that l insisted she had broken my
heart Detroit Free Press.

Boston, Mass, May II, 1897
The renewal ofthe Cuban war agitation

the new tariff bill and the occurrence OF a
large number OF large mercantile failures

public feel that President Mckinley will
pursue a more aggressive policy in regard
TO Cuban matters than his predecessor,
and Wall street is disturbed thereby.
The ter Il question, mean while, hangs fire
and is put aside pending further develop
