Fred Knew How.

''For several years could see moth.

young wife, according to the Detroit
Free Press, "but / realize now that
there was an amusing side to it. I
was young yet, fond of company, and
rather infatuated with the foolish idea
that would never marry. At any
rate, I proposed to have good time
before 1 settled down, and all young
men Of my set were pretty much the
same to me.
"Before had time to realize it, Fred
was at the house two evenings in the
week, besides taking me home from
church. This was not in accordance
with my plans and l told him, more
directly than should, perhaps, that
he was getting too frequent. 1 also
showed him in numerous ways that lie
could not monopolize me. He took
the hint, and you can leave q girl
alone for discovering that such an ex-
perience does not set we'll with q
young man.
"But Fred was very matter of fact
and soon found out that did not
understand him. After we had not
seen each other for some time he
walked home from church with me
one evening.
"I have been thinking this thing
all over, he said, abruptly. Il had
made up my mind to ask you to marry
me, but now 1 am convinced that you
won't suit
''As soon as left him I realized
how could have told him that he
was Aattering himself and that he had
only spared me the annoyance of re-
fusing him, but the truth is that I
never answered word. And the
strangest thing to me is, that just as
soon as he said that / would not suit,

The Norwegian corps of skaters, a
force peculiar to the army of that
country, is body of soldiers armed
with rifles, who can be unanswered on
ice or over the snow fields of the
mountains with q rapidity equal to
that OF the best trained cavalry. The
skates used are admirably adapted for
travelingover rough and broken ice
or frozen snow, being six inches broad
and between nine and ten inches long.
In ascending steep slopes the men
take zigzag course, lacking up the
mountain side as q ship does against

speed at which they can go it is men
