A young man recently wrote to the
editor Of the Ladies' Home Journal ask
ing: "What have you to say. squarely
and fairly, to young man of twenty
nine who is about to marry?" In the
October Journal Mr.. Box uses a page for
his answer. Its salient points are these:
that man should make the woman of his
choice his chum, as well as his wife; that
he should show her the highest con sidera.
ton a. we'll as love her; that he should
remember that he owes his wife to he.
mother. and treat his mother in. law with
respect, at least, that he should keep his
wife informed as to his income; that he
should give her regular allowance and
that he should have his life insured in
her favor. And above all, that when
young man marries he must remember
that he leaves world of self and enters
into world Of another aud self.

He took large flask from his haver- sack and shared it with his men. Then they began to sing and dance again, all of them wild with drink.

 The man never moved, but began to snore, and second one yielded to ezer- tion and whisky and. stretching himself out on the ground, went to instant sleep.

"Take me away from here, Mr. Mar eel! Take me away at once! I would rather be with you than these men, these savages, these brutes Nor is your life safe here!'
 "They wear the British uniform. They must be loyal British soldiers I could not keep from saying.
 ''I do not know what they are,'' she replied, with alarmed insistence, sbut let's go. Pray take me at once." r She pulled at my shor lders as if she would have me rise and go on the in- stant.

His voice was not unmusical, and he had some idea of rhythm and measure. His comrades joined him, and they roared out a chorus which must have penetrated to the farthest edge of the wood.
 ''I'll not only sing for you, Miss Howard, " said Crowder, ''but I'll dance for you too.
 It was plain enough that the man was drunk and was relapsing into his that he would fall into the fire, but he did not. His drunken head swayed from side to side, but he kept step to the
 beat of the song.
 One of the men drew his empty bot t1e and beat upon it's side with his knife blade. It made a lively tinkle
 that sounded like music, and the others, seeing his success, initiated him. Crow der had not only vocal but an instru- mental chorus as we'll. His zeal in- creased, and he danced like an Indian at scalp dance, while the men reared out the song and beat their bottles win enthusiasm.

ssKING OF INVALIDS."
The Sad Plight Which Gave That Title to Young Man of
 Philadelphfa.

In small dwelling at 1918 Cabot street., little thoroughfare running west of Twelfth street, just above Girard avenue, lies a young man known throughout the length and breadth of this broad land as the King of 1n- vaids." His throne is bed from which he has not moved for ten years, says the Philadelphia Times.
 As his only companions, his faithful nurse, Miss Carrie Dentry, and his pet dog, Charles H. Conrad waits for death with the knowledge that nothing else can ever release him from his suffer- ings. Science can offer him TO hope, for hundreds of the most eminent phy-- sicians have visited his bedside and turned away with shake of the head. Rheumatoid arthritis is the name of the strange malady with which he is afflicted, and it's effect is. the forma- tion of bone around the joints, render ing them extremely sensitive and per fectly motionless. Elbows, wrists. knees and ankles are all dislocated and abnormally enlarged, while the rest of 1 the trunk is emaciated, and trunk and limbs alike contorted and twisted.
 It is not ossifcation pure and simple, as in this case Conrad's sufferings would be much less. As it is, his whole body is so sensitive that the least touch causes excruciating agony. His arms | are bent inward, the left hand slowly l growing toward the stomach, between which and it heavy pad of cloth is 1 placed in an effort to change its course.
 Conrad was strong and athletically-
 built young man when 21 years old, now ten years ago. Exposure brought on
 rheumatism, and this developed into
 the present malady. < Through his nurse he is kept in com.
 munication with every chronic invalid

 (Which way do we go?" asked the girl.
 ''To Morgan, of course" "Then shall soon be with my father 1 and friends again. "Why do you think so?'' Because Tarleton will certainly take Morgan, and of course I shall be re- | taken.''

The girls horse stumbled, and she uttered a little cry of dismay, but in 3 moment the horse was steady on his feet again, and we went on. The beams grew more numerous and fused into broad shield of moonlight. Two minutes more and we would be out of the wood and into the cleared ground, with the fields rac- ing behind us.
 But the light had it's evil for us Against it's broad silver disk we were silhouetted like the man in the moon. and the popping of pistols told us that we had become good targets.

The abandoned horses, frightened by the report, neighed and stamped again, creating great up- roar.
 The sentinel, who was the least drunk of the party, sprang to his feet. He was yet half dazed with sleep and liquor, but he saw the dim figures of man and woman riding away from the little encampment, and he knew that, according to the plans of Captain Crow der, it was not what should be. He fired nasty pistol shot in our direction, the bullet clipping the dry twigs above our heads, and then shouted to his comrades l to awake, giving emphasis to his cries with many sturdy kicks.

The other horse kept close at his side. Be- hind us we could hear the cries of the awakened men as they leaped upon
 their horses and rode after us, shouting
 to us to stop. Two or three more pistol shots were fired, but the air received ', them. If the men could see at all, it was but
