HE DROPPED THE LINES.
The Young Man Had n Preference for
Doing So and Forgot the Danger.

From the Washington Star
~ Capitol Hill man has son about 90
years old. and the young fellow is very
nearly a chip off of the old block.
Not long ago-that is to say, during the
Christmas holidays-the son went to visit
friends and relatives among the snow clad
hills of Vermont, and OF course, while
there put in as much of his time in d
sleigh as he could, because he knew the
Washington climate was not conducive to
that sort of amusement, and he wouldn' [
have another chance.
Perhaps it is needless to say that when
ever he went sleighing he took with him
which Vermont is justly famous
And as far as possible new one every
time.
Such is man of 20-and later.
The pitcher cannot be taken to the well
too often unless it becomes broken, and it
happened in the case of the Capitol Hill
hGdie that on one of his trips his horse
ran away with him, and not being the
most expert driver in the world he was
almost at the mercy of the frightened
animal. For a mile or more he managed
to keep his horse in the road, but beyond
which could only be taken at a slower
pace. The girl called attention to this and
nervously suggested that they jump out,
but he wouldn't have it so, and assured
her that he would be responsible.
That sounded well. but when they ap-
preached the turn the horse would not stay
in the road, and dropping the lines the
young fellow grabbed the girl and waited
for the end. whatever might be. In a
minute more the entire combination few
the track and landed in a snow bank twen-
ty feet deep. Some people who saw the
accident fished them out and for wonder
nobody was much hurt, though the sleigh
was damaged.
When the youths father heard the story
he was indignant
why. you young jack he exclaimed
what in thunder did you drop those lines
for? You might have known what would
have happened"
well, pop" he replied sheepishly. 81
couldn't hold the horse and I could hold
the girl, and what else was there to do?"

HANDSOME MRS. AMELIA YOUNG.
The Wife of the Great Mormon Pro-
phet Is Still Living.

Girls would probably take up arms In
rebellion if called upon to submit to such
rules of etiquette as govern their Dutch
sisters. An unmarried girl in Holland al
ways takes the right arm of her escort,
while the married one selects the left side
of her husband. So deeply has this custom
entered into the life of the Hollanders
that at q wedding the bride enters the
church on the right side of the groom.
the young wife returning on the left side
of her husband when the ceremony has
been performed. No unmarried lady in that
country can dream of going to church, a
concert or any other place of public assem-
blage without the escort of parents or
male members of the family. She cannot
take walk pay visit or go shopping un-
less accompanied by her mother or some
married lady friend.
The Holland young lady does not go to
the theater with the gentleman who has
been introduced to her week before:
neither does she vary her beau to suit her
dress or complexion. Unmarried daugh-
ters are chaperoned to all places of amuse-
ment; even dancing parties are inter-
spersed with songs, recitations, etc, for
the amusement of elders of the family. who
sit around tables socially slipping their cof-
fee, wine or other favored beverage, while
the young members glide over the waxed
floors to the fitful strains of music. Here
the young must make the best of their op-
portunities. for when 1t pleases the parents
to seek the quiet solace of the house the
daughters also quit the gayety of the ball
room.

WOMEN woN'T INSURE.
They Do Not Care to Lay Up Money
for the Second Wife.

From the New York Press.
Mrs. s. Gurney Lapham, of Syracuse, may
be credited with the best of intentions In
advising women to so into life insurance as
n business, but she evidently overlookS the
fact that 1t has been tried In New York city
with unsatisfactory results.
Mrs I.apham said at a meeting OF the
Emma Willard Alumnae Association the
other day that 1t was a good business FOR
women. She read a paper on Life lnsur-
ance for Women" and made her point neat
lyon paper. She said that the best N
formed women find life insurance the safest
and most profitable investment yet deYlSeu,
and the only one that can guarantee It's
future value.
fortunately, women do not insure their
lives Two energetic women embarked in
the insurance business here about a year
ago They rented and furnished haEd-
some office and were prepared to do any
business in the insurance way that might

seemed to be nothing In life insurance for
women Judging by the experiences OF these

CoiHure nnd Damages.

From the New York Tribune
4 suit for damages has just been brought
against an English provincial newspaper
by husband who considered himself and
his wife aggrieved by the terms in which
the cciffure of the latter was described in
the report of the county ball published In
the journal in question. They recall the
description Of the Marchioness of TaVi-
room. described by the court newsman and
comm ented on by n volunteer outside with

Meek-Eyed Youth Was No sIouch In

From the Baltimore News.
And it came to pass that the Meek-Eyed
Youth looked upon the Glorius Girl while

her, saying: "Fairest creature upon earth,

And the Glorious Girl made swift answer.

And the face of the Glorious Girl was

the tax collectors for frmness.
And the Meek-Eyed Youth looked him
far away into the henceforth, for n great
fear was with him. and in his wailing woe
he was fain to end 1t all.
And 1t came to pass that in the darkest
moment q great light dawned upon him.

Auctions In Jnpnn.

There Is little chance for fraud or COM
plant in the matter of conducting auction
sales in Japan. Although there are not
nearly so many sales held there as in this
country officials of the cities have n way
of conducting them much similar to our
method of voting.
When an auction Is to take place the
goods or property is advertised for two
weeks ahead. On the day of the sale each
bidder writes his name and address and
slip of paper, which he carefully places in
