But thayre golden days and bright though or heads are drifting white,
Fer we've trod the road together though, the darkness and the Light

Well, there are several reasons. One
is that she does not have as many ia

DEAR AUNT JENNIE:-I have been
away quite a while but have not failed
to read and be interested in the letters

things to be done for the comfort aud

Well, yes and no.
Yes" in this sense. I really wanted
to do more than my streng b would

so precise, you know. Well, I guess

l do not believe that "all things come

you can help it. Tnere are enough

proposed. And If it were true, what
would be the reason that some men
never marry3 I imagine that both
sexes remain single for the same cause.
If that author will reflect a few
moments he will readily see that it is
those who are over fastidious in both
sexes that never find companions suit
aole for themselves. In other words
they are hard to suit" and so they
never are sui led.
When Tafy wrote last he seemed to
think that ali the young ladies woul1
take him to task for his opinion of
women. But I see no n has done so.
One young lady endorses what he said.
If I am not mistaken his argument ran
thus: All women tell tales; this makes
them ~talebearers. All salebearers tell
what others have done; therefore they
are gossipers. All goesipers tell more
than they hear; consequently they
speak falsely.
How any lady can endorse this is be
yond my knowledge, for, summed up.
it amounts to saying that every wo~
man is a talebearer, a gossiper, and a
liar. He excerpts not even his own
mother. l am not writing this as any
reproof to TRffy, however; Of course,
he is welcome to his own opinion.
O tery for discussion: Why is it
that when a woman tells what has
really taken place she is gossiping, and
when men do the ga me they are merely
telling the news9'

it is yourself that has blundered. Boil

ripe freestone peaches, pour boiling
water over them, let them stand a few
minutes, when they will peel COM

peel, neither will unripe peaches Of
any kind. If your peaches did not
peel you must not have had the right
kind, or else you had two many
peaches for the water, so many that
they cooled the water.
And now I will say a few words to
Rex and Cd Bachelor. I think it is
quite probable that marriages az they
suggest would terminate quite often

privilege of choosing for himself
would turn that privilege over to some
one else. Would r x or Old Bachelor
be willing to do so3 But this morbid,

in by the very youthful is not neces-
sary, aud in fact it is sometimes very
harmful, as in q case where it causes
young men to commit suicide, or when
it makes one young lady take the life
Of another, as in the case of Frede

TENNESSEE RISING.
Lowlands Inundated With 33 Feet, Ba'
 no Damage Has Been Done.

Chattanooga, Tenn, February 7.-Heavy rains have prevailed throughout East Ten nessee for the past Sour or five days, caus- ing a freshet in the Tennessee river The water stands tonight at 35 feet on the gov ernment gauge, and is expectedA to reach 40 feet before the present flood runs out.
 At this point the low lands are inundated at 33 feet, but no danger to property or damage to mills or manufacturing concerns will be done under 42 or 43 feet. No dam- age has been done along the river at any point with the exception of one or two log rafts that have been broken up near the mouth of the Hiwassee, a feeder for the Tennessee river. No damage has been done to any of the towns along the river, and none is apprehended.
 The railroads entering the city are having some trouble. The Southern was delayed a considerable time today by landslide, which covered its tracks for some distance. This obstruction has been cleared. The trains on the Chattanooga, Rome and Southern have been abandoned The tracks of this road run through a very low part of the Lookout valley, and there the tracks are covered by the back waters from ne river through Chattanooga creek.
 The weather has turned very cold and no further rainfall is expected There was no snow in the mountains, and all danger of a serious overflow is now regarded as over.

New York, February 7.-Juan Luna, pri- yate secretary of Secretary Lopez, of the Filipino junta, in Washington, passed through this city this afternoon on his way to join Agoncillo in Montreal. When Senor Luna was met at the Pennsylvania station in Jersey City he was apparently very nervous and i'll at ease and avoided atten- ton. He said:
 "Of course our position is delicate one under the circumstances and naturally causes us some embarrassment. We feel that it would be unwise to talk, even if there were anything to say,. will join Agoncillo in Montreal in the morning. l do not bear important despatches for Agoncillo, and we have not heard from him in Washington since he left that city. We have no private means of communica- tion We all hope that there will be no more trouble and that an amicable settle ment will be made, satisfactory to all.'
 Senor Luna took the evening train for Montreal.
