HOW LOGIC CORNERED THE OLD
NAN

AS the young man entered the old
man looked up aud scowled.
well - said the old man, shortly.
"Your daughter" began IN young
man, but the old man i'm off
abruptly.
"I've noticed that you've been
hanging around here good DEAL" he
said. ''Isuppose that you've come to
tell me that you love her and want to
marry herr"
No" replied the young man,
calmly. I've come to tell you that
she loves me, and wants to marry
me-"
"What?" roared the old man.
"She says so herself" persisted the
young man.
81 never heard of such an exhibition
of egotistical impertinence,,' said the
old ,uan.
Then you misunderstood me-" ex-
planned the young man. my asser-
ton is dictated by policy and not by
impertinence. You see, it's just this
way; What want is nothing to you;
now, is it2'
"Why-er-not exactly"
II might want thousand pounds,
but that wouldn't matter to you,
would it?'
Certainly not"
You're under no obligations to
supply me with what | want, are
your"
Hardly"
"Then what FOOLISH proposition it
would be for me to come to you and
say. Mr.. Park ason, have been
very favorably impressed with your,
house and furniture or / think I'd
like your daughter or anything else
in that line.
But when your daughter wants any
thing it's different. Now, isn't it
differently"
at certainly is different" admitted
tho old man, cautiously.

poets, and we could both see that
there wasn't once chance in hundred
that you would give her to Inc. Then
she suggested that you had never yet
refused anything that she wanted, no
matter what the cost might be, and
that perhaps it would be a good plan
10 change the order somewhat. We
sort of felt that it wouldn't be right
to ask you 10 10 anything for me, but
it's different in her case, as remark
ed before. So I'm here merely as her
agent to say that she wants me, and
that she wants me very much, and to
ask you to please see that she gets
me. She never has wanted anything
so much as she wants me, and l am SO
favorably disposed towards her that,
il you care to make the investment, |
shall be quite willing to leave the
terms entirely TO you and her."
Naturally she got him. No wide
lock chance to get such fine sample
of nerve in the family.

MRS. DODD'S PORTIERE,

"Lor, what's that?" asked Lucinda.
"Oae of Mrs. Parloa's new receipts?

Il don't see the good of hanging
curtains up to the. doors; nobody can
see through EN-"
"Lor, child. the door is took off, and
the portiere hangs in its place, and
looks mighty grand, and makes you
feel as though you was in palace. "
81 don't believe it'll deceive me, ="
shifted Lucinda.
sDo get the dictionary down, Lu-
cinda, and look for portiere. l want
to know how to spell it, and all about
it, and when Mrs. Jerry comes in she
can't trip me. How cut up she'll be.

Lucinda took down the consump-

MARRIAGE IN NORWAY.

AS soon as young man and young
woman are engaged in Norway, no
matter in what rank of life, betrothal
rings are exchanged. These rings are
worn ever afterwards by the men as
well as by the women. The conse-
quence is that one can always tell n
married man, or at least an engaged
man in Norway, in the same way as
one can tell a married woman in Eng
land and America when she shows her
hand. Gold rings are used by the
rich; but silver, either solid or in fila.
gree, by the poor. There is no married
man in Norway, no matter how hum
BILE he may be, who does not bear this
outward mark of his submission to the
matrimonial bond. But this is not all.
AS soon as a man is engaged he has

Bacon to his twelve-yeaT-old boy.
