SHE PLAYS NO FAv0RITES

BY MABEL JOLLY.

seen promenading the streets, and they
wear coats, trousers and even waist
coats cut in the same identical man
ner.
1t would be a good idea for women
thus inclined to allow the men to make
the clothes and the men to wear
them. Supposing this same young lady
should be adorned in a pattern of dress
that was at all distasteful to the gen
tleman, would she like to have them
treat her in a like manner? No; l will
venture to say that she would not.
BY all means 1 must tell you about
the two young ladies who do so much
dancing. AS usual they were skipping
over the floor Monday evening. You
could see that they were tired, though
the very thought of losing part of a
dance never entered their sweet
thoughts. A party had found some
pieces of lily-white soap. This he
placed in a saucer; then he secured
spoons. and walking over to where
they were, asked them if they would
not enjoy a dish of ice cream. Now
who ever heard of a girl refusing
dish of ice cream? No one. They We're
escorted to Il table and then this party
walked down and secured the supposed
ice cream. oh, my! How happy they
looked, and sweet, too. Actually pleas
ure was cropping out on all sides. But
when they took hold of the spoons?
That tells the story.
Do you know the fellow with the
great mop of hair? Well, you should
get acquainted with him. l have been
attempting to study out what his bus
mess is and have just arrived at the
conclusion that he is theological stu
dent. No, that would not do, because
a would-be minister would certainly
not dance. Girls, take a look at him
and make guess. Then send me
word.
l believe that l accomplished Il good
deal of good last week. The young
man who has been wearing the red cap
has lost it. At least that is what
friend told me. Anyway he is not so
conspicuous any more.
1t was stated one day this week that
the young lady who went to st. Mary's
lake with young man had at last de-
cided to accept him. You see she does
not want to go through another eXpe-
rience such as she had last week. ALPS
well that ends well, and l offer my sin
cere congratulations.
l am told that there are three young
couples who nightly can be seen at
the Trocadero. that intend. in the near
future, TO join hearts and hands. All
are quite popular in society. These
events will come off in the course OF
couple of weeks. You all know
them.
| have been wondering if all the
young men are onto that latest craze
among the fair sex. Working in ini-
tials on neckties. Boys. all you have to
do Is to buy the tie. then take it to
almost any girl and tell her that you
would consider it Il great favor if she
would only make use of those pretty
little hands in doing lottle fancy
work. Be sure and write your initials
on slip of paper, because they are so
busy that n mistake might be made,
and you would get left. That is just
what happened to one young fellow and
now he is mourning the loss of 40 cents
but the young lady says she will re-
imburse him.
Well goodbye; the editor says that
am using too much space. You will
hear from me again next week. In
the meantime be good.

Disastrous Blaze Averted.

\ large and disastrous fire was
narrowly averted by the vigilance
aud quick action of Henry Blair, one
of the colored help at Castleman's
Livery Stable, on Friday last. 1t
seems that Lawrence Jones, "A stable
boy. had not remarked the change in
temperature. that has come upon the
neighborhood during the Fall Season
and continued To hang his clothes
on the Stove pipe IN the harness room,
as he had been accustomed to do
during the Summer months. Blair,
not being of such a warm blooded
disposition as Lawrence, concluded
he would build fire in the stove, and
make things more in accord with the
prevailing climate. The fire WAS
built bright and hot, so hot indeed
that Henry retired for breath of
fresh air. Noting oder of burnt
rags, Henry returned to make an ex-
animation, and found the wardrobe
belonging to his helpmate in flames.
He gathered the burning clothes, and
threw them IN the street, where they
Aere extinguished with the help Ofthe
gentle rain then falling. Had the
fire not been discovered in time, the
whole of the Hotel block would have
been destroyed, as the wooden struc.
lures composing it, could hardly bt
saved by our valiant Fire Company
after the flames were we'll under way
1t is said suit will shortly de filed
before John the just, under the style
of Jones VS.. Blair, to determine the
right of the plaintiff to recover Of the
defendant the value of one coat and
one pair of breeches.

Then she slips the bride on. and the
horse being too tall TO mount in the

to crawl up the animals neck, aud
down his body, until she reaches the
place where the saddle ought to be.
Then she turns her face around, and
assumes a position that enables her

Written for the COURIER.
By MISS ADA BLANCHE GooDE.
The blessedness of those above,
Why long my painting soul to know,
For Heavenly bliss know is love-"
And love is felt by saints below.
But love so pure, exhalted. high,
Beyond compute, beyond compare,
No eagle wink that height may fly,
No mortal breathe that upper air.
The soul from sense must be refined,
From earthly hope, from earthly fear
No guilty doubt may cross the mind,
No sin, nor shame, may enter there.
There love springs pure and unrepressed
There all are loved, and love again;
Love fills each swelling cherub breast,
Love fires each burning scraph train.
Oh where shall this conflict DER
From sin be free, with love be fired?
Oh when in heaven my God adore
With love celestial, love inspired.

1t is matter of regret that Thomas
L. johnson. Of Ohio, has coupled so
many circus features with his cam
paign. Such things do not
appeal to the sturdy and sensible
citizens of Ohio any more than they
do to the nation at large; and it is safe
TO say that he has lessened his
chances for the Democratic nomina-

Newspaper Subscription Case.

a case of interest to publishers

ed in the magistrates court in Wythe-
Vile last week, and it will probably
be made precedent case in this sec
ton.
The defendant declined to paw his
bill for 81 years. subscription, claim
ing that he had never subscribed for
the paper. His name had been given
as subscriber to the Dispatch to
its present publisher by it's former
owner. The publisher brought ;, il
and IL was proven that the defend nj
received the paper regularly, and
that he had never given the pm blisher
any reason to think that be was not
bona iide subscriber. The defen-
dants attorney claimed that under
the law, the publisher coulA not col
lect for a paper that had not been
ordered.
The magistrate deferred judgment
and took time to examine into the
law, finally giving judgment to the
Dispatch for the whole amount sued
for, holding that the taking of the
paper from the office constituted an
implied contract.-WythevilIe Dis
