Reflections of a Bachelor.

At certain age every girl gets an idea
that it is cultured to rave over cut glass.
When you tease woman, she will al
ways smile as if she enjoyed it till you get
near enough to reach. A cat acts the same
way.
AS soon as man begins to be sorry he
got married he begins to try to trap his
wife into admitting it.
The best points in story are the ones
you think you would have put in if you
had told it instead of the other man.
The easiest way to make bitter enemy
of a man is to tell him a good story and
then get it off at dinner before he has q
chance to.
Every woman thinks she can make a
man happy, and every man thinks he can
fix the drawer in the kitchen table SO it
won t stick.
When girl can't buy piece of ribbon
without wondering whether certain man
will like it, it is time for her to begin to
wear things she knows he hates.-New

GOVERNMENT MAY GET ALL DUE.

Washington, February s.-There seems
to be q probability that the negotiations
now pending between the government
and the Union Pacific reorganizatlpr 2
committee will result in settlement of
the governments claim against the Kan
sas Pacific without the necessity of fore
closure sale. Up to yesterday the best
offer made by the committee for the gov
ernment's interest in the road was 81, $780,
600 and upon this being declined another
proposition was made on basis OF 81
100000 which was also declined. The
government is fixed in its purpose not to
accept less than So, 800, GOO, the principal
Of the debt, and as the difference between
the amount and the offer already made is
only ST. sos, 600 it is believed that before
the time arrives for making the motion
for leave to pay off the first mortgage and
for q postponement of the sale the amount
will have been offered and accepted.
