whether II be by the sea or by an aoat-
toir. is the ambition Of most young men
In this world, and. OF course. there have
been thousands Of Just such lads and las
sizes made happy In this way. They nave
had smooth sailing through life. while
others have met with misfortune and
have been obliged TO move from the
cottage 10 a tenement house and become
just ordinary individuals. Sickness, death
loss OF position. have In the main been
the cause OF these changes. but not within
the memory OF the older residents can
coal be said 70 be the cause OF such
downfall until now.
Late last spring two young folks from
the annexed district united In marriage
had a short wedding tour. and upon their
return took up their residence In cosy
little cottage on Plainheld street The
cottage was Just as costly furnished. but
the happy couple said that they would
not buy a parIor stove until this fall and
then they would get nice one that wouia
be an ornament as well as useful
The happy couple laid "A little aside
each week for the parlor stove, for they
wanted 10 own everything that was under
the roof OF their home. few days ago
the couple went down street ana pur-
chased a stoye--one OF the gaudy sort
that almost needs a skilled fireman 10

A man came from the down town store
measured for the pipe and fancy zine
10 put under the s35 stove. The next day
the stove came and II was placed In
position.
That evening Jean" as the man OF
the house is best known. and his wife,
Hattie talked over the matter OF setting
in their winters supply of coal, and they
finally decided TO do so at once. So the
next day Hattie went down town ana or
dered nine tons OF coal. but when told
that IL would take nearly 800 10 pay the
bill she nearly tainted.
She labored under the impression that
coal was something like s. ton and
was ready TO pay that much. She told
the salesman that fe could hold the order
for few hours or until she had taIk
with her husband, and when he returned
In the evening he told her that coal al

they could AFFORD, so they decided not to
run any parlor stove this winter.

: FOR SALE.
A Brand New Parlor Stove.
To a wouid-be purchaser yesterday Hat
tie told the story and further said that
they guessed that n they could keep the
kitchen stove running with coal at that
price they would be happy. and that they
did not need parlor stove anyhow. But
II looks as IL they would be obliged to
keep II for there win be more than Jean
and Hattie that will not run any parlor
stoves this winter, unless coal takes an
awful tumble. as far as price Is con-

HE SAVED THE HAT.
