HOW JAPANESE WOO.

Japan is long way on end this

Is pretty enough to be true. In certain
districts in houses wherein reside one
or more daughters OF marriageable
age, an empty flower-pot OF an orna-
mental character Ia encircled by a
string and suspended from the window
or veranda by three chains, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. The Juliets OF Ja-
pan are. of course, attractive, and the
Romeos as anxious as those OF other
lands. But instead OF serenades by
moonlight and other delicate ways OF
making an impression II Is etiquette
for the Japanese lover to approach the
dwelling OF his lady bearing some
choice plant In hand. which he bodily,
but. let us hope, reyerently. proceeds
TO plant In the empty vase. This takes
place when he is fully assured that
both mother and daughter are at home
Neither. Of course. is at all conscious
that the young man is taking such
liberty with the fower-pot outside
their window. This act OF placing a
pretty plant In the empty nower-pot is
equivalent to formal proposal to the

to pension claims. One day an old
woman. possibly so years Of age. came
to his Office. She was a widow of n
soldier OF the war OF 1912. and wanted
him7to look up her pension claim. Ho
asked her to show proof of marriage.
The applicant said somewhere in her
house she had the marriage license
that had been Issued to her in one or
the eastern states before that war. But
she had not been able to fnd IL. she
was told then that she must secure am
davits OF some people who had known
her husband. and OF the fact that they
had lived together for years and had
brought up family. One OF the
grown-uD sons was with her at the
time and he secured the necessary In
iornhtion. but 10 De sure that every
thing was all right the lawyer wrote
to the clerk of the courts OF the county
in which the original license had been
Issued. That officer replied that the
license had been Issued. but that no
return OF the marriage had ever been
made. In few days the old woman
came back TO see her lawyer about the
matter, and by that time she had found
the worn marriage license. But that
was all she did have. 1t afterward de-
veloped that the couple had understood
that when the license was issued to
them that 1t was all that was neces-
sary. They never called In preacher
to perform the ceremony and had lived
together for all these years and had
brought up large family.

Rugs and Moving.

A certain man who owns row of
dwelling houses over in the northwest
quarter of the town has learned wisdom
by bitter experience. A friend of mine
went to him not long ago to rent one of
the houses.
''Do you lease it by the month or by
the year?1 she inquired.
"That depends on what you are going
to have on your floors, answered the
landlord. fare you going to have car
pets?"
mo-" answered my friend; 1--WE
have rugs.
you'll have to, sign years lease
then,' the landlord made reply, slnil-
ing craftily. "If you bought carpets and
had them fitted to the floors, / know
you'd stay in the house as long as you
could, but these rugs are too easily adj
justed to any sized room. You'll have
to sign a years lease if you have rugs.
There are seven houses in my row, and
six of them haven t kept tenant longer
than two years at time for the last five
years The seventh house-well, the
people in it had carpets made and laid
for it five years ago. and they haven t
thought of moving. Carpets, I'll rent
by the month; rugs, years lease. -
