MATTER OF FACT.
He Thought the Poor Girl Needed a
Change from "the Style to Which
She Had been Accustomed"

He is a young man whose unbounded as.
surance has ever been his chief character
istic.
When he proceeded to talk to the practical
old gentleman about marrying his daughter
he was evidently prepared for the usual
question;
do you think you can support my daugh
ter in the style to which She has been &C
customed?
The parent spoke this phrase with the all
of a man who thinks he has uttered poser.
The sutton looked him in the eye.
Let's talk this thing over" he said. dc
you think your daughter is qualified to make
a man a good wife,?
Eyes, sir. Her mother and / are both
practical people and we have given her o
practical education. She can not only read
Greek and play the piano-she practices
three hours day-but she can get a good
dinner and make her purchases in market
as intelligently as an experienced steward.
Moreover, her abilities with the needle are
not confined to fancy work. She's a treas.
ure, and we don't propose to have any mis-,
understandings about her future"
"You were asking me if thought / could
support her in the style to which she has
been accustomed"
81 was"
"Well, l could. But don't propose to.
After she marries me she's not going to
practice three hours a day on any piano
nor cook dinners nor take back talk from
market people. She's going to have all the
sewing done outside of the house, read what
she enjoys, whether it's Greek or Choctaw,
and go to the matinee twice week, It's
time that girl was beginning to have some
good times in this life. Washington Star

all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup Of Figs is manufactured

ties. The high standing of the CALI

twenty or thirty days, for kicking. the exercise
of such a prcrogative on ono or two occasions
would have u salutary effect and prevent other

NETT Orr, Democrat, OF Owen county, and the

personal. Tho friends of the measure called tho

ued until 8 o'clock this afternoon. Emmett Orr,

Mr.. Bradburn of Warren was the champion Of
the bill. He spoke on the caucus action as
binding on every Democrat. He declared tho

stolen Kentucky through fraud in the Eleventh
