There Is list of goods which was re-
Gently paid by young man in our employ

ness before the young man secured his
wife, And the time will never come when
his fatherin- law VIII not regard IL as his
perfect right to ask his son-in- law for any
thing more be may want. The list is thus;
Eighty neptunes, 5guns, 32 marks (about
$50 worth of cloth, 3 goats, 3 cases of gin,
3 kegs Of powder, 2 zinc trunks, 2 umbrel.

A DANGEROUS FAD.
New Woman With an Umbrella Rivsls

The new woman has new way Of car
rying her new umbrella She places it
carefully across her left arm, just as she
would a new baby, and gazing down at it
atfectionately, as it lies confidingly In the
crook of her elbow, she lifts her dress skirt
from the mud of the street crossing with
her right hand--whilc allowing il To drag
on the other side. She thus manages to
crook both elbows at the same time.
Now she halls car and wonders why
she stumblos up the step. Isn't she still
holding up her dress--on one sideY BY
twisting herself sideways she finally gets
through the opening and falls into a seat.
While so doing, she pokes the conducto;
in the ribs with her right elbow and hits
her left hand ncighbor one IN the eye with
her umbrella as she settles herself. Th.
woman who received this unlocked for
demonstration looks Indignantly at the
newcomer, but the woman with the um-
brella is quite unconscious of any breach
of etiquette and serenely twists herself
about, still holding the umbrella after tho
prescribed fashion and contriving, with
the final wiggle, to knock her neighbors s
hat over on one ear.
Then she gazcs placidly about and
nurses her umbrellas rival to the dude
