faln take thee for my bride Say thou
VIII De mine, and ere the sun gilds the
turrets of yonder castle the friar shall
unite us in holy bonds"
In the face of the prevalent rage for
dramas OF the olden style. this form
seemed satisfactory. Being an eminent.
" modern young man. however, he
thought again and determined to test
the theatrical mode.
But just at that moment the fair
Mary tripped into the room, and he
blurted out:

A Clever Thief.

This is how the presence Of mind and
audacity of Chicago thief saved him
from being locked up: A policeman
who recognized him and knew he was
wanted" put him under arrest, with
the words, You are wanted at head
quarters" "Yes. know" replied the
thief quickly. Il was arrested last
night and was bailed out this morning
You are too Slow" "It does look that
way" said the crestfallen policeman
as he told the thief he could go, Of
which permission the thief lost no
time in availing himself. Later. to his
chagrin, the policeman found that the
thief had not been previously arrested.

In the town of Haschmann, Ger

men who will marry the ugliest or the
most crippled and to the women over
forty who have been jilted at least

financier. and he. realizing that beauty
is an attraction hard to overcome, made
provision in his will that out of the
income of the fund not less than ZIG

year and the cripple shall receive 9t2.
The four women over forty who have
been Tilted by a lover receive, when the

Warned In a Dres M

An instance in which a cream was
useful in preventing an imp, nding ca
tastrophe is recorded of a daughter of
Mrs. Rutherford, at EdertOn, the grand
daughter of Sir Walter Scott. This la
dy dreamed more than once that her
mother had been murdered by black
servant. She was SO much upset by
this that she returned home, and, to
her great astonishment and not q little
to her dismay, she met on entering the
house the very black servant she had
met in her dream. He had been en-
gagged in her absence. She prevailed
upon a gentleman to watch in an ad.
joining room during the following
night.
About O'Clock in the morning the
gentleman heard footsteps On the
stairs, came oTt and met the servant
carrying a quantity of Goals. Being
questioned as to where he was going,
he answered confusedly that he was
going to mend the mistress fire, which
at 3 o'clock in the morning in the mid
die of summer was evidently impossi-
bic. On further investigation a strong
knife was found hidden in the Goals.
The lady escaped, but the man was
subsequently hanged for murder, and
before his execution he confessed that
he intended to have assassinated Mrs.
Rutherford.

A toast is offered TO the spinster.
We meet a great many pleasant people
in this world, but nowhere do we find
more satisfactory person than that

and somewhat disrespectfully known
as the "old mald.' and supposed to be
afflicted with NERVES" and q cantank-
erous disposition. As matter of fact.
she is frequently the sweetest, most
self-forgetful OF her sex. She usually
walks, with tact and loving heart, in
other women's paths, lives In other
women's homes, and rejolces in other
women's joys. making them her own.
The children adore her, for she be-
comes to them sort of fairy godmoth-
er, one who possesses all the tender
ness of a mother without the extremes
Of maternal discipline She loves to
give children good time" and does
1t with extraordinary success. In
household details, what TREASURED!
How many dinners owe their success
TO her, who reaps no glory except the
glory of doing! And in the ultimate
trials of life, what prop and solace
she becomes! But it is TO the young
boy-loyers of the family that she ex-
hibits the finest flower OF her capacity
for friendship. What a gift Of under
standing she seems to have! There is
no difficulty she cannot dissipate, no
fear she cannot lessen, no tender little
half-scared hope that she does not en-
courage to bloom for the other woman.
1t is always for somebody else that she
is working. and perhaps 1t is this
which gives to her eyes the look that
even the worst among us unconscious
ly associates with all that is best and
fairest in life. Let them make fun of
