At a summtr resort, amusing incl
dents are not infreduent. / will give q
specimen. A few days ago, a man nc
longer young and myself were sitting on
the porch OF the hotel. A young mar
perhaps eighteen years OF age, Joined ms
Like many of the visitors at Sodayille
he too had his ailments. His digeetiv We
apparatus was out OF keller, and the
mineral water was not relieving him ri
his trouble. asked him how much he
drank. His reply was; "a quart each
time, several times a day NV next
question was: "Is that the way Won take
medicine2" "Well, not exactly" he
announced then gave him pre-
scription, which he concluded TO follow.
When he laft us he said: II am glad I
met you fellows" Two DAYS afterwards

how he was getting along. Il am much
better was the reoly land | am verv

that time he passed by where / was Sit
ting at the hJtel, and ! enquired after
his health "Auch hetter than il has
been in long time" lie answered "and
am glad | met you fellows" / will
make no comments hu. allow the readers
OF the DEMOCRAT to guess why have told
them this incident.
Judging fro Al the ocular demonstra-
tions given ut the mineral spring and
elsewhere. ] have arrived Vt the conclu.
slonthat Cupid has been busily engaged
in shooting his arrows and has not -
wats missed the mark. One young man
from Albany has received a Regere
wound. and. II IL was not Tor one thin.
the shot might prove fatal. The arrow
seems to have been double pointed aud
il is hardly probably that the wound ls
so deep as II would otherwise have been.
In some cases think Cupid has been
doing some reckless shooting and has
hit several girls who are low down in the
teens and are still wearing short dresses.
Perhaxs he has learn d by observation
that the wounds ut the weaFers oil such
dresses are soon healed, and shoots the
wearers just for che amusement OF 9th
era, who did not have such experiences
at so early an age. That the mothers OF
these Young misses are aware of all their
movements. ! am no. at all sure. | will
mention q single case A lew days ago
saw young man, with whom am ac-
quainsed, sitting between two young
damseis. They were ooeu psing comp
aiively little space on tie saat and
seemed TO be very happy In passing l
asked the young n an il he felt comEoEsa-
ble. His reply was: "Why sLou dn'G
Il" told him that knew no reason
why he should not, and left the girls
looking At me as ii they hardly knew
what 10 make of me. The young man
afterwards told me tha, he Vas no; &C.
quainted with either o. the girls.
There are several Caelebs ei yidaoe
at Soiavillc. but Cupid seems 20 have
missed them. Perhaps the vividness OF
the remembrance OF his pranks. IeE
months ago, has had tendency TO blunt
his arrows. Observation sometimes does
effective teaching and makes CAelehs
very cautious OF mAirImoniAIly inclined
widows, although their hank account
and comfortable home have a drawing
tendency. They do not like the ideA OF
having 10 sppoAr before Judge Hewiii
soon after the close OF the honeymoon.

separated i.om The darling whoai they
had wo0ed and won only short time
before. CaELEBs
