There is the warmest kind of a warm
fight In progress in the Twelfth ward
for the offices of select and common
council. All OF the candidates are
Democrats and they are hammering
away at each other with right good
will.
For select council the candidates are
James A. Manley, the present incum-
bent; John Shea, Henry F. Coyle and
Anthony Lundy. The first named three
all insist that they will surely be elect
ed. 1t is Mr.. Lundy's first plunge into
politics and while he is outclassed by
his competitors so far as experience
and craftiness goes, his friends say
that he stands a good chance of being
elected, because of the manner in
which the vote Of the ward will be
split up.
For common council Morgan Swee-
ney, the present representative of that
ward in the lower branch, and John
Monaghan are pitted against each 9TH
er and they are making things lively
in the Twelfth this murKy weather.

AN ACCOMMODATING GUIDE
The Interesting Adventure OF Two
American Girls.

American Girls.
w. +. Curtis, in the Chicago Record.
I heard a pretty story the other day
of two American girls who visited the
palace at Potsdam and had the un-
usual honor of being escorted about
the ugly old building by the Emperor
himself. 1t illustrates a trait in his
character that is not often talked
about but is shown frequently. The
imperial palace is open to visitors only
when the emperor and his family are
absent; but, without knowing this fact,
the two American ladies made the jour-
ney out there, and were repulsed by
the usher at the door. They under
stood very little German. and he could
talk no English, but, with the usual
persistency of the American tourist,
they were trying to induce him to ad-
init them. While they were in the
midst of the controversy gentleman
in the uniform of soldier came rap
idly UP the steps. much to the con-
fusion of the doorkeeper, and, address,
ing the ladies in English, asked if he
could be of any service to them. They
explained that they had come up from
Berlin to see the palace, and were very
much disappointed because they were
not allowed to enter it.
II think ! can let you in," he an
swered, and will show you around
myself"
So he escorted them through the vari-
Gus rooms and corridors, and explained
everything in most entertaining
manner. Then he followed them out
to the portico, where one of them, who
had a kodak, asked permission to take
his photograph. She hadn't the slight
est suspicion who he was, but during
the hour they had been together in the
palace they had laughed and joked fa-
miiarly, and felt very we'll acquainted.
The emperor gracefully consented, and
posed for three snap shots. Then he
bade them good morning, hoped they
would enjoy their visit to Germany
saluted them in the German way and
re-entered the palace.
The young ladies were delighted, and
related their experience with great
gusto when they returned to their
boarding house. That afternoon they
took their kodak to a photographer to
have the films developed, and when
they brought home the first prints OF
the handsome officer their German
landlady exclaimed: "Gott in himmel.
| Der Kaiser!''

made a more formal acknowledgment
of the honor conferred upon them.

FIGURES NLOvEMAKING.
Why Men Don't Fall on Their Knees
as Formerly.

From the San Francisco Argonaut.
An English scholar has been collect
ing statistics in regard to the manner
in which men and women make love
to each other. He informs the world
that the number of young Englishmen
who embrace their sweethearts at the
moment when they are inviting them
to become their wives amounts to SO
per cent. On the other hand, 67 per
cent. of the men in love kiss their
sweethearts on the lips at the critical
moment, while per cent. shower
kisses on their hair and per cent.
content themselves with kissing their
hands. At one time it was the fash
ion for ove-intOXicated youths to fall
on their knees when about to make
proposals of marriage, but this fash
ion is evidently dying out, for we are
assured that only per cent. of those
in love at present fall on one knee, and
only 2 per cent. venture to sue for the
lady's favor on both knees. A curious
reason has been assigned for the de-
cadence of this Chvalrous custom,
which is that of late years the neither
garments of males have been so con-
structed that it is rather risky for any
man to flop down suddenly on his
knees in a ladv's presence. On the
other hand, woOers of today seem to
be far more nervous than the gallant
men who wooed and won a century
ago. Twenty per cent of the English
lovers of today are awfully nervous
when the decisive moment comes. The
behavior of the young women is SINH
larly remarkable. When the men in
vite them to share their homes, eighty
one out of every hundred fall without
a word into the outspread arms of
their chosen ones; 6S per cent. blush
very becomingly, and in maidenly
fashion shrink away, as though fright
ened at their companions boldness;
one out of every hundred, possibly
more, possibly less, says our English
