1t was Tecnyson who wrote I'm the
spring time young mans fancy light
ly turns TO thoughts of love- but why
he didn't lnclude girls [ don't know.
For pom my soul L believe to be in love
is their normal condition. OF course,
the attack may be more severe in the
spring when the trees are budding and
building, just as young people do over
housekeeping. But what
started to say, as applicable
to the quotation was. rumor has 1t that
there will be, at least, three weddings
among society people in the near fu-
ture. It is said that one of the fair
prospective brides would not have to
go very far from the scene of her daily
labors to obtain a license to marry; in
make it out herself If she so wished, as it
is very probable that the license book
is among the records through
which she has to daily
Wade. Another is q bright
and popular school teacher. The
gentleman in this case wanted to marry
Early this spring. but the event will
probably not take place until the sum.
Der school vacation. AS to the other
ties. L asked the major if he knew
them, aud he said, "Well. as l don't
know the man in the proposed alliance,
cannot congratulate her, but know
ing her as I do, the man is entitled to
my profound sympathy" L don't
think that was at all nice for the
major to say, bus then he is cynical
old bs,chelor and very skeptical regard
ing the existence of what is known as
matrimonial felicity. He told me
q lady, the wife of hen-pecked
friend of his. said to him the other
day, 'Nisjor, l want your advice. 1
am sure my son William ia thinking
very seriously of marrying" "My
Dear Madame" the old wretch re-
piled, 81 trust ifs your son contcm-
plates matrimony he will give the sub
ject most serious thought. 1t would in
deed5be unfortunate to regard it as
joke"

1t is very hard to stand idly by aud
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
IN. y dairyman called at drug store
there for q doctor TO come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
HIM TO come at once on his return. He
also bought bottle of Cham berlain's
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In a few hours he returned,
saying ting. doctor need not come, as
TIE child was much better. The drug
Gisr, MIR. Otto Scholz, says the family
-as since recommended Cham berlain's
Cough remedy to their neiRhbors and

people are going a very rapid pace,
judging by the pictures 1 have seen of
the Eew''eel like" skirt which is at
present the very latest fashion in
that line from Paris. No
fashion for generations has created
such q furore among society women.
This SKIRT is intended to reveal rather
than hide the figure and is so
pronounced in that respect that it is
said even the fast dressers of Paris are
little shy about wearing it, but for
all that it is reported that many fine
dressers ia New York are simply
delighted with it. It is said to be so
tight that walking ceases to be a
pleasure and sitting be
comes positively Danger

Some philosophical observer has re-
marked that the old tradition that at
marked relaxation in the morality of the
people OF every civilized country, is be-
ing verified. don't know whether this
be true or not, but am inclined to think
that war, no matter in what portion of q
century it occurs, does more to demora-
lie the morals of country than any
other agency. I also think that the
standard of morals of any people are
best indicated by their style of dress.
If am correct in this, then the French

rehearsals, they will all be perfect
in their lines. AS for the kissing, they
should not need rehearsals for
that. It is also said that the most per
feet harmony and good fellowship does
not exist in the club: that there are lit
tie chickering's, talking behind the scene
etc. etc, and major suggests that if
the play was to be"a club in the dark"
it would be more appropriate than ga

Wonder why more of our youngpeople
do not cultivate horseback riding. 1t is
one of the most delightful and healthy
exercises in the world; there Is no

Drettier than in a erly-fttedr!ding-
dress. There was time when every

foibles of the modern girl, says: "All
modes of dress are the outward and Wis
ible signs of an inward and political
change in a nation" There now, that
is my authority for an opinion that
there is connection between the mo
rails of people and their style OF
dress.

don't want to be numbered among
those who find fault with everything
and the police in particular, but I do
wish they would pay more attention to
the gang that stand on the most pro-
minent corners in town. Splitting on
the sidewalks and staring at women as
they pass is bad enough. and would
hardly be permitted in any
half civilized community, but
when, in addition, rem arks
often indecent are made, it is time the
officers enforced the ordinance against
bummers and what the major calls "tin
horn" gamblers, blocking the side
walks with their highly objectionable
presence. But may be the tin horns"
have "pull" and election day is motif
distant.

so inSeniously devised that it is not

Told by Bob Burdette.
Tho pastor of Il struggling church
WINS lying in his bed. three months ar
rcars Of salary was piilowins his head;
his couch was strewn with tradesmen's
bills that pricked his heart like ihorns.
and nearly all life's common ills
were guading him like horns.
The deacon sat beside him as the
moments licked away. and bent his
head TO catch the words the parson
had to say.
IF never shall arise from this
hard bed on which | lie; if my war
fare is accomplished and it's time for
me to die: take Il message to the JAM

for that's the only chance for them

And farewell TO the choir. How
the name my memory racks, If they
could get up their voices rs they do

would join their music and the wei
kin would rejoice. while the happy
congregation could not hear a single
voice. But tell them | forgive them,
and oh tell them that | said | wanted

when I'm dead.
Ills voice grew faint and hoarse. but
IL gave II laughing break, a Kind of
gGrSling chuckle as a minister might
rake. But the deacon rose up slow
~ and stcrnly he looked down upon
the parsons twinkling eyes with the
most portentious frown. And he
stiflly said. Good morning" ms he
walked out in his ire. for the deacon
was the leader of that amiable choir.
