HOW HE ASKED THE QUESTION

HOW HE ASKED THE QUESTION
An Election Bet Helps the Bashful
Youth to Propose to His Best Girl.
He was bashful youth, and when
he tried to frame a proposal to the girl
of his heart his tongue glued itself to
the roof of his mouth and refused to be
loosened.
One day they talked Of politics. And
then Of political bets. His eyes sudden
ly frightened.
"Wh-what do you say" he stam-
mered, desperately "to making a little
bet with me?"
1--WE no objection" she sweetly an
swered.
"Then." he went on, "let's go ahead
and make a bet. If Mckinley is elect
ed you w-will agree to m-marry mel"
He could get no further.
But she nobly came to his rescue.
''Ill make a bet, too," she softly MUIR
INJURED. IF Bryan is elected you will
agree to marry me-"
There was brief silence. Then a
queer smile struggled across the face of
the agitated youth. Another smile light
ed the face of the happy maid.
"Why wait for the election returns?'
he chuckled.
why, indeed?" she echoed.
So they were married the next week.

Froze His Hand in summer.

Froze His Hand in Summer.
To have his hand so badly frozen that
amputation was for time seriously con-
sidered when thermometers registered 100
degrees in the shade, has not been the
experience of many men, yet Harry
Knowles, bartender in an Aberdeen, S.
D., saloon, had this experience the other
day.
For charging beer in kegs and forcing it
to flow through the pipes in the bar
faucet, carbonic acid gas is used. This
comes in liquefed form, and is stored in
cylinders strong enough to withstand a
pressue Of several thousand pounds to the
square inch These cylinders are usually
charged to pressure of about 1900
pounds, and a safety plug is gagged to
blow out at 2,400 pounds pressure. The
gas is not unlike liquid air when it is
permitted to escape and come in contact
with the atmosphere, and creates a very
low temperature.
The safety plug blew out of cylinder
in the saloon where Knowles was en-
ployed, when the proprietor was out, and,
not understanding the nature of the gas,
Knowles picked up a damp towel and at
tempted to hold it over the aperture and
stop the flow of escaping gas. It took but
a few moments to freeze the towel stiff,
and the young man did not discover that
the excessive cold had also badly frozen
his hand until the proprietor stepped into
the room and told him to let the gas go,
as nothing could stop it. Knowles then
discovered what happened to his hand.
He put it in charge of a doctor, who
says the hand will be saved, but the
victim suffers great deal Of pain and
will be laid up for several weeks.-Chi-
cago Record.

Poyerty-stricken, war-ravaged Cuba
revels in the expensive Panama hat.
Americans either can't afford to wear
them or else do not care to do so, In
1899 Cuba took directly Panama hats
to the value Of $41. O19, and nearly all
Of the hats sent to the United States.
valued at $39,477, were transhipped to
Cuba. The total value Of last years
expectations Of Panama hats from
Ecuador was $100,S76. Costa Rica,
Colombia and Mexico together took
$s,657 in value, and all other coun-
tries, except those mentioned, the
balance Of s11, 723.
Our consul general in Guayaquil,
Ecuador, Perry NJ de Leon, says that
the Manavi (Panama) hat was made
first in the province of Manavi, Ecua-
dor, about 275 years ago, by native,
Francisco Delgado. The present CEN
tiers of the industry are Monte Cristi
and Jipijapa, in the province Of Mana
vi, and Santa Elena and Cuenca, in
the provinces of Guayas and Azuay,
respectively. They came to be known
as Panama hats years ago, when that
city was a distributing center. In
Ecuador, Colombia and Central Amer
lea the hat is known by the natives
as sfJipijapa" pronounced Hipy -hapa),
but they are made anywhere in Ecua
dor, principally in the province of
Manavi lMahn-ah-vee).
The plant is native grass or spe-
cies Of cane. 1t is cultivated in the
provinces Of Manavi and Guayas, and
is known as .spaja toquilla." In ap-
pearance, it resembles the American
saw palmetto; it is fan-like in shape.
Low-lying, wet land is selected and
the seed planted in rows during the
rainy season. When the grass attains
a height of AZ or 5 feet it is cut just
before ripening, boiled in hot water,
and, after being thoroughly sun dried,
is assorted and ready for use.
The straw first is selected, dampened
to make it pliable, and then finely d.
vided into requisite widths, the little
finger or thumb nail being used for
the purpose. The plating begins at
the apex of the crown and is contin-
ued in circular form until the hat is
finished. The work is carried on while

According to statistics furnished by

the atmosphere is humid. from about
midnight to a. m. II the strand
breaks, it can be replaced and so plait-
ed as not to affect the work or be visi-
BILE to the naked eye. It requires from
three to Ave months daily labor Of
three hours q day to make one Of the
finest hats, which would be a month
or month and half Of eight-hour
days. The business in its highest de-
velopment is really an art, requiring
patience, fine sight and special skill
qualifications few of the natives pos
sess. The plating completed, the hat
is washed in clean, cold water, coated
with thin solution of gum, and pol
ished with dry powdered sulphur.
They are SO pliable that they can be
rolled up without injury and put in
ones pocket; they will last for years
and can be cleaned repeatedly. i
Natives of both sexes and all ages
are engaged in this work at odd times,
the business being a side issue. Chill

The Cuenca hat WHOLESALERS at from
1892 to $26.40 a. dozen; finest, 1928 to
$500 each; the Manavi hat brings
$1.32 to $22 dozen; finer hats, $4.40
to $3.50 each; fancy hats, $22 to $44
and more each.
The finest hats ever made were by
native named Palma and were ex-
hibited at the Paris exposition when
Napoleon III. was emperor. The two
best were bought by Frenchman for
s193 and presented to the emperor and
Marshal MacMahon. Palma is dead,
but there are two or three others who
possess equal skill.
Monotony in shape has been perhaps
one of the chief causes why the hats
have not been, more popular, but if
dealers would take up the matter the
natives could easily make any style
desired. Ladies' hats may be worn sue
cessive seasons; cleaned and re-
trimmed they appear perfectly new.

Two years ago, in auditing the &C
counts of a certain union. the district
auditor made the discovery that the
sum of one farthing was missing from
a balance Of one parish. Accordingly
he Instructed the local official to find
out how the error arose and report all
about it. A couple of days afterwards
information duly arrived that the
missing farthing had been recovered.
Four hours had been spent in the quest
of it, and this, and the attendance a
second time at the audit, cost the rate
payers exactly 20 shillings.

from q district council. Upon the an

stances to advertise it again. The bril-

POLITICAL
NOTES.

Speaker Pro. TEN. of the Senate
Charles H. Salmon, has announced
himself as candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor of the State at the
next Democratic Convention to be
held at Dover. Mr.. Salmon made
first class speaker of the Senate,
treating all he met with polteness
and gave them arespecttul hearing.
The Democrats could go further
and net do as we'll as by naming
Harry Salmon as their standard
bearer for Lieutenant Governor.
Word comes IRON Dover that the
Hon. George V, Massey, now resi-.
dent of Philadelphia, has shown
his hand in Delaware politics. The
story goes that he is preparing for
any contingency that may arise IN
the Republican get-together-plan
in this State. That he will attempt
Il combination Of Massey-Republi-
can-Democrats in the election of
the two United States Senators to
be elected by the General Assembly
of this State at its next session.
The candidates to be brought for
ward it is said, are Levi Z. Bird
and John Biggs. General Demo-
cratic assent to the scheme is ex-
pected, as it appears to be the only
one by which the Democrats can
secure anything as the result Of the
next election. The story is beliey-
cd to be the result Of u nightmare
