Tronhles Of Tlne love.

Just because his steady girl gave
him frigid look Il ON her "goo-goo"
eyes, an lola boy not long since got
into an embarrassing place. He de-
cided to teach the mink II lesson, and
naturally chose another girl to help
point the moral. Taking it for granted
that the steady expected him to take
her to the coming attraction he sent a
kid with note to an east side girl
Being restless, he followed the kid and
stopped near the house. The lad rang
and delivered the note and left. The
young man told him to go back and
get an answer. The kid reappeared
at the door after but a minutes
absence and demanded an answer.
The young lady said she didn't think
one necessary and the kid said: ''Oh,
it's no trouble, he's right out here at
the corner" Which of course wasn't
what the kid should have said, and
embarrassed his employer so hehasn't
recovered yet.

are old friends and went Saturday to
a turkey shoot together and secured
four turkeys. On the way home Bar

grain on his back; church bells ring
and children play in the village streets;

bridges. The power which puts the
landscape into motion is supplied by

Merchants Enjoy a Good Trade.

Although there are nearly twice the
number of merchants here there we're
few years ago and all of them carry
far larger stocks :of goods especially
in the way of holidays goods than
ever before, the Christmas trade was
very satisfactory all around. THE
week which closed the night before
Christmas was excellent in point of
weather and thetownIand country folks
took plenty of time and lexamined all
stocks and then bought discreetly and
extensively, many stocks being carried
away bodily. The displays were finer
as well as larger than usual and a
gratifying feature of the trade is that
the best goods sold first and only
cheap toys and trinkets were left over.
People had money to CRAFTY their
tastes and they bo@ght substantial and
costly presents.

ABOUT THE CHINESE.
Some Facts Concerning Their Modes

Labor i'm China varies in its efficiency
according TO place. and. curiously I'M
like Europe. seems to vary iu,ersely
with the temperature of the climate.
AT Ticntsin and the northern ports it
takes much longer TO load and unload
cargo than at the ports OF The Nangtse,
and the husbandry OF the soil shows
less care in the northern provinces
than it does lower down. In fact. the
northerners seem inclined TO hibernate,
and allow the rgor of the winter to
unman them instead Of squirting them
TO activity. Stll, after watching gangs
of coolies working in many places, it
may safely be asserted that the aver
age zest and genuineness of their labor
are superior to those of any nation,
with, perhaps, the exception of our
own, says the Little Chronicle.
