sometimes sent her fine roses by his little
brother from the village. | got suspi-
cious of that young man, Jonathan, and
by and by he stopped all at once coming
to see Gertrude. You want to know
why, Jonathan? Because one day he
was driving by, down the road, and isaid
very kindly and sociable like to him:
My young friend, | guess you needn't
trouble to bring or send any more roses
to Gertrude because she says she likes
'em fresher than when you send EN-
she has permission to help herself"
You see, | watch that young man when
he goes home late one early morning, and
/ saw him steal my roses on the way out
Of the front lot, and in the evening next
following he sent 'em to Gertrude. IL
he only keeps the roses for his partikler
friends in the village it wouldn't so much
matter; but when he steals them to make
himself solid with my little Gertrude. he
reminds me OF Bryan quoting from Abe
Lincoln's speeches TO try to make the peo-
pie think how much his party loves the
people-when all the time before. the
Democrats had no use for Mr.. Lincoln.
Lincoln was a great Republican. whom
to love is fashionable, even with Demo

for reelection and their good record
will make their nominations logical
and their success fairly certain. G. II.

nomination for treasurer.
In state politlces all officers from

Some one with a weakness for statis-

stories and tabuiated the various ways
In which lovers behave In popping the
question. In 100 cases where the propo-
sal was accepted no less than sixty-seven
gentlemen kissed the lady and began "all
of a sudden" Eight-one declared they
could not live without her, while seventy
two held the girls hand and thirty-six
took her in their arms.
Twenty-six lovers sat down to put the
question. four fidgeted about with their
andkerchiefs-which three afterwards re-
quired to wipe away the tears of joy;
three stood on one foot, and the same
number ''reclined on the grass" only four
thought 1t necessary, to go down on both
knees, but twice as many knelt on one
In thirty-two cases kissing took place
Only four kissed the girl on the cheek,
but ten saluted the fair ones curls! Three
kissed her eyes. two her hands. one the
top OF her head, one her nose (by mis-
take), and one her shawl.
Acceptance OF the proposal caused a
lump in the throat of fourteen lovers: the
