cation of the truth that ''life is indeed
worth livingr
When | hear man railing at his
wife, or a woman tonguing her hus-
band, l know that sweethearts have
turned sour, and | can see the wisdom
of God in providing the "tongueless
silence of the dreamless dust" 1 have
heard it said that matches are made in
heaven, but there is not word of truth
in the saying. Matches are always
made on earth. If they were made in
heaven, there would never be an i'll.
matched couple, there would never be
an incompatible marriage, there would
never be brutal husband or brawl-
ing wife. There would be but little OF
hell on earth. Every home would be
an Ellen, and every heart paradise.
My advice to sweethearts is this: II
your tempers clash and your tempera-
ments are not congenial, if you quarrel
before you marry, you can set it down
as certainty that you will quarrel,
and maybe fight, after marriage; and
if you quarrel and fight after marriage,
you might as well be in the land where
they never shovel snow" He'll after
death will be nothing new to you.
Find congenial spirit. If you ara
in love with your sweetheart only be-
cause she is beautiful, you will find
that your love will be of "but a few
days and full of trouble" for beauty is
only sl1in-deep and soon fades. If you
are in love with your sweetheart for
symmetry of form and grace of motion,
so has the tiger symmetry of form, and
it is very graceful mover. The love
liest specimen of flesh and blood, with
out d gentle spirit and lovable soul,
is only rag and bone and a hank
of hair" Life is elysium to congenial
spirits; it is "ehellium" to uncongenial
spirits.
Sweethearts, choose you partners;
and hope and pray that you may not
be disappointed in your choice.
Good-by, sweethearts, good-by,
ROBERT L. TAYLOR.

A FAIR DEMONSTRATION.
They Were Satisfied the Thing Could
BE Done, But by Some
One Else.

Mark Twain and his friend, Rev. Joseph
II. Twitchel, once planned bicycle ride
from Hartford, Conn. their home), to
Boston, and wrote beforehand to an &C
quaintance in the latter city, telling him
their line of route and what time he might
expect to see them arrive. The appointed
time was an ideal one for long run, and
the two friends started quite early in the
morning. But neither of them was aecus-
toned to long rides, so after II or 10 miles
had been ridden, it became apparent that
each of the riders was waiting for the 9TH
er to say something. Finally Twain said, as
they came in sight Of the railway station in a
small town they had entered: Lets take
the train the rest of the way.
OF course Mr.. Twitchell agreed, and SO
the acquaintance in Boston was surprised
by seeing the two friends walk up to his
door about one o'clock in the afternoon. He
had not expected them till evening, but he
greeted them warmly, and addressing Mr..
Twitchell, said: well, you made pretty
good time, didn't you?"
'Oh, fairly good time for novices," was
the reply. 49,
What time did you leave Hartford?" he
asked of Mr.. Clemens.
about seven a. m.
"What, you don't mean to say that you
have ridden all the way from Hartford to
Boston on your bicycles!"
No. replied Mark Twain, but we rode
far enough to demonstrate that it could be
done"2Detroit Free Press.

PLIGHT OF A BAsHFUL MAN.

to Ask for His Hat

he passed his plate for the third piece

said, as his plate was returned with good

about putting my hat on the rack in the
hall, and carried 1t into the parlor with me.

A Stra tegic Son.

A good story is told of young man
who, besides being of the spendthrift
order, is mimic and can initiate his
fathers voice to nicely. Not long ago
the young man wanted, without delay,
some money to pay bill, and he knew
that his father would treat his request
for the same with cold contempt. Wait
ing till he knew that his father would
be away he went to the telephone and
rang up the Office, calling for the
cashier. The cashier was forthcoming
and when he was at the other end the
young man initiated his sire's voice.
Il say, Blank, if that scapegrace son
of mine comes around and asks for
500, don't give it to him. Only give
him $50"
The cashier promised that he would
fulfill the commands. Not long after
the son called at the Office and de-
manded $780, He was refused by the
conscientious cashier and, apparently
in anger, the young man contented
himself with the $50. When the old
man reached the Office there was a
scene.-New York Telegraph.

The barbaric custom of wearing ank-
lets has been revived, in order to find
some place to wear a solid round brace
let of recent faddism which has out
grown its popularity. This is the next
thing to wearing nose rings, which
seems to be the only jewel custom
which has not been adopted in civilized
countries. The anklet is generally OF
no use except when one is wearing an
outing skirt, as, of course, it is only
worn to be seen. Sometimes, however,
more than one is worn, and their
clanking announces their presence.
Others are furnished with bangles or
with little bells, which ring out sill
very peal at every movement of the
wearer. Just why the summer girl has
started such fad it is hard to under
stand, for she is supposed to be the least
conventional of all girls. Only the
girl with small, aristocratic foot will
wear them.

SATURDAY, APRIL %, 1899.

The great State OF Pennsylvania
will have only one representative III
the United States Senate during the
next two years. The battle ended
Wednesday without an election, but
this was better than to have per-
mitted Boss Quay to succeed himself
Three other Legislatures having also
failed to elect Senators. the fact
seems to be too patent to be resisted
long by any, except those who favor
the rule of the bosses that the power
ought to be taken from the Legisla
ture and given to the people TO say
by their votes who they will have to
represent them in the Senate. I'm
less it is done Virginia promises soon
to be as m uch under the rule OF the
bosses as any State in the Union and
they must be restrained in Virginia
as we'll as elsewhere in some way if
we would not have our institutions
placed in serious peril by them. In
what way is the evil so likely 10 be
ayerted as in having Senators elected
by the direct vote of the people? a
boss like Quay may purchase enough
of the members of the Legislature to
control it. but he cannot purchase a
whole people.

Coy. Tyler and leading health au-

morning and had al interview with
DIR. Paulus Irving, Secretary OF the
State Board OF Health, and later the
three went to see the Governor.
1t was decided to ask the Navy De-
partment to detail a surgeon to aid
the State Board of Health in dealing
with smallpox, and to ask that a pest
house be located on Craney Island,
in Hampton Roads, near the mouth
of tie Elizabeth River. The board
will make certain recommendations
to the Governor before he communi-
Gates with the department.

The latest advlces from the Philips
pines are not of that rosy character,
to inspire the expansionists with
much courage IN their dreams of con-
Quest in those islands. A disaster
has fallen to our arms in the capture
of Lieut. Gilmore and fifteen men, OF
the Yorktown, whose fate is I'M
known and a bigger one even is re-

General Lawton's forces has fallen

Heretofore hundred of our brave men
have either died with disease or been
killed in battle and the estimate is,
that thousands more of them must
be sacrificed, and still the miserable

that the Philippines will be curse
