advise our Government, around the

unexpectedly. or it appears that our
Government will have quite a con-

'.It will not be amiss for
President Roosevelt to guard himself
from accident, harm. or sickness dur
ing the next six weeks, for such is
indicated for chief executive. of the
nation. especially on November

and sea captains to guard their vessels
from fire or disaster, especially during
this period we shall also hear of
trouble to the cour- and clergy. and
publishers will also feel little of
this ev il as well.
Now, on coming to the latter
part of this month, the newspapers
will be full of an ausual amount of
outrages comitted by men upon de-
fenseless women, and it will be we'll
for all girls between the ages of II
and 20 years of age to quad their
honor, lest they be deceived, or be-
trayed, and [ am 10th to say that
this VIII be an extremely evil month

should be consumated during this
month either, for the conditions sig

The Best Man.

For the origin of "the best man at
wedding" we must 60 back many CEN
turtles. to days when it was the amia-
BILE practice of the budding bridegroom
to dispense with the consent either OF
the lady or her father. He simply
waited for a suitable opportunity to
capture her and make q bolt with his
bride. In this enterprise he found 1t
helpful to have the services of a friend
who would assist him in the capture
and keep the pursuers al bay until he
had got a sufficiently long start. This
friend was the prototype OF the best
man" Of III own unromantic day,
when his duties are limited to seeing
that the bridegroom doesn't leave the
ring behind hfrn or leave the church
without taking his hat with him. How
times do change!

N MANS LUCK,

Steered Into a Junior Partnership
by n Chance Gust of Wind.
~"Speaking of taking in partners
said a downtown business man, ':our
Junior was, you might say, blown in on
us, and I saw him started in our di-
r~ection, though I had no idea of it at
the time.
Going down town n summer morn
Ing on a Ninth venue elevated train
l saw sitting opposite to me a young
man who caught my fancy, a substan-
tial, earnest, straightforward looking
chap, whose looks 1 liked first rate. He
was reading a paper, and presently he
tore off from his paper an advertise
ment leaf that he didn't want and
threw it out Of a window or tried to-,
for as a matter Of fact it didn't go out.
A gust of wind with just the right
twist to it came along at just that mo-
ment and blew the paper back, to fall
on a vacant seat next to him.
'"And as it fell something in it caught
his eye, and he picked up that part
which he had just been trying to throw
""oJ c1o OC6d4 SuA hCSlJ " ASdO IL
and ended up by folding it carefully
and putting it in his pocket.
"About four minutes after I'd got in
here that morning this same young
man walks in and applies for a place
that W had been waiting for some
body to fill. Our advertisement for a
man for it was in that paper which l
had seen this young nan try to throw
away and which a gust Of wind, by
n chance in a million Or more, had
blown back upon him and in such a
manner as to fix his attention.
GAS a matter Of fact I hadn't liked
the young mans act of throwing the
paper out Of an elevated car window.
A paper floating down and around as
that would do might brighten horses
and lead to no end of trouble and lots
of damage, but no one man thinks
about everything, and he'd learn better
about this, l knew, and 81 as a matter
of fact I took this young man on the
spot on my first impressions Of him.
He far more than made good and in
due course Of time he came into his
Junior partnership, literally and truly
blown into it. w. .''t

A CORDIAL RECEPTION.

The Book Agent Got One That
Wasn't Intended For Him.
There is a farmer living just north
of Evanston and a book agent SOME
where in the cosmopolitan desert Of
Chicago each Of whom feels that he is
a victim of a cruel circumstance. x r
Last week the farmer had a note
from a nephew to say that the boy
would visit the farm on Thursday.
Uncle and nephew had notSmet for ff2
teen years, and the old man drove to
the station in his most uncomfortable
coat that he might welcome his sisters
child. But the young man failed to
arrive. After waiting till the last pas
senger had disappeared the old man
drove away, disappointed. "'s'T * +.
The book agent entered into the dra-
mats persona early the next morning.
Looking owe the top rail Of the barn
yard gate, he called, Hello, unclew
The book agent. never got such a re-
ception before in all his life. The farm
er flung the gate wide open, seized the
agents hand and pressed a WHISPERED
kiss on the ironclad cheek. II

INJURED the agent, following the farmer
into the house and explaining that ey-
erybody at home was as we'll as could
be- expected. Not till the agent was
full Of a boiled dinner and attempted
to sell a book did the farmer begin to
see a dim light. Charged with imper-
sonating the missing nephew. the
agent explained that he greeted all
elderly strangers as "uncle;;" that he
even had a few almost real ones In
South Clark street in Chicago.
When last seen by the farmer; the
agent was still running, aed when the
real nephew does come he may find an
