WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A FIX.
A Young Mans Ruse to Find Out if His
Girl Really Cared for Him.

The young man in love is an inter
esting creature. Given sympathetic
listener, he will tell many things in
voice that is awed. because what he
is telling seems so holy to him. Such
a young man said: Il couldn't feel sure
my girl really cared for me, so | wrote
myself this telegram: Will you go
as accountant for a tea firm in China
at salary of $6O per week? Start
Thursday. Answer at once | signed
the name of a fictitious firm and show
ed the girl the telegram as soon as
got to her house that night. She read
it, and then she looked at me graYely.
What do you think about it?' she
asked. L don't know what to think,
said |. She unused little while. DO
you want to go?' she asked me. II 1t
wasn't for you, I'd want to CO. | an
swered. Then she said, in faint
voice: DO whatever you think best.
I'D go, if it wasn't for you,' | replied,
She sat very still, looking at the fire.
Then all of sudden she began to cry.
oh, don't go! don't go!' she walled.
Don't go and leave me all alone.
What would | do-what would do
without you?' So told her wouldn't
go. 1t is a grand thing to have a girl
care for you so much as that. | know
that this girl loves me truly" IF
had been the girl" said the young
mans listener, 81 should have said:
Accept the offer, and We'll be married
at once and start for China together,
The Young man grinned. Gosh. l
hadn't thought of that" he admitted.
wouldn't 1 have been in a fix,
though, if she had said that?'

The Labor Market in England.

According to the English Labor
Gazette, for the first time since No
vember, 1897, the net result of the
changes in wages recorded during jan
uary shows a decline. Employment in
many important groups of trades de-
clined and wa< considerably worse
than year ago. In the 144 trade
unions making returns, with an aggre-
gate membership of 545, 539, 21,6S2 in
dividuals (about 4 per cent? were re-
ported as unemployed at the end of
January. The decrease is mainly due
to the heavy fall in wages which has
taken place in the iron and steel
trades, every centre of that industry
being more or less affected. The wages
of about 10000 working people were
reduced, and of all these there were
only 972 in which there was any seri-
GUS dispute about the reduction, the
remainder being settled either under a
sliding scale or by direct negotiation.

TO JOIN A CURLING CLUB.
The HeartIess Joke That Baxter Played on
His Wife,

Baxter is something of a humorist.
The other day he had little fun with
his wife, with the result that they have
not spoken since, says a writer in the
Omaha News.
John" she said, 81 see a great deal
i'll the papers about the Omaha Curling
Club. DO you know what it is?"
Certainly" laying down his paper.
THE Curling Club, my dear, is a
branch of the Woman's Club. It's
membership is limited strictly to wo-
men whose hair refuses to curl natur-
ally. OF course, they won't tell the
men folks what they do, but it is a
fact that they have some secret prepa-
ration by which the hair can be kept
in curl without the use of an iron. Do
you want to john"
Il don't know but l might" she said,
after studying the matter. do you
know how much the dues are?"
Fifty cents per month, | believe.
If you want to join I'll bring you an ap-
plication tomorrow night. Smiths
wife belongs, and he secured one OF
the blanks. Shall I?'
please" said the unsuspecting wo-
man You're a dear, good fellow,
John, and | love you dearly"
Baxter lodged behind his paper. He
had half mind to tell her that he was
a brute and had been playing upon
her credulity, but his humorous in
stinct prevailed and he decided to fol-
low the matter to the end. The next
day he brought the application. 1t
was full of idiotic questions. For eX-
ample:
How old are you?'
What color is your hair?"
rs it natural or false?'
Color of mothers hair? Father's?'
Has it always been straight, or only
from BIRTH"
1t cost Baxter 50 to have that one
copy printed, but he believed it was
worth it. The unsuspecting little wo-
man filed in every blank. Baxter
took it, promised faithfully to mail it
next morning, and then went out to
get q Cigar. he ldUSiGu uIllli nc u LSu'
When he went back to the house he
decided he would tell Mrs. B. how he
had deceived her, bat he found Mrs.
Evans, neighbor, had called during
his absence.
I'm going to join the Curling Club, -
his wife was saying. ITS q depart
ment Of the Woman's Club, you know,
for members who have naturally
straight hair John brought me an APP
plication blank and will doubtless get
you one. Why, where are you going,
john"
Baxter put on his coat in a hurry.
The thing didn't seem so funny now,
and he wanted to go for a walk. When
he came back he found his wife in
tears. She called him heartless brute
for allowing her to expose her ignor.
ance that way, declared she would sc
home to mother, but finally comprom
ised upon not speaking to her husband
for a week She's kept her promise
too.

The practice Of taking Lenten vaca-
lions in the South has gained ground
wonderfully in New York City and
other Northern cities in the last score
OF years. In many village and town
of the Southern States, on many a
beach and river, among the pines or
on the coast, the amusements and lux
uries of winter resorts have been made
so fascinating that great f1ocks of
pleasure seekers now initiate the birds
in their annual migrations. And the
results are beneficial both above and
below the valleys of the Potomac and
the Ohio, observes the New York TIL
