society of bachelordom, old-maidism and
the married state, fired many questions
at him whom he arose to begin recent
afternoon lecture.
One maid asked if Dr. Andrews did
not think that a good measure for pre-
venting desertion and n0nsupport would
be to imprison the guilty party for a
year.
Yes. for five years." came the Quick
response, If You can get hold of the
man who has been guilty OF nonsupport
or desertion why jug him. For wife
beating the same penalty would do, or
perhaps SIX years would be better.

"His Chauncey Depewess,"

There is certain well known actress
in New York who declares that while
William Collier may be all very we'll as
an actor, as an editor he is nothing less
than the limit in all that is ignorant and
unappreciatve of true literary art.
Hearing that Mr.. Collier was preparing
Il special edition of the Pan, the little
paper which the actors colony at ST.
James, l.. l., issued during the summer.
in order to have the accustomed pleasure
of seeing their names in print. this Young
actress forwarded the following effusion.
which for some unknown reason was
promptly dumped into the waste basket:
There was young man from st. Louis,
Who married tHlkatiyc Jewess;
Her feet were COLI,
And her stories so old.
That be called her his Chaunccy Derewcss.

Why is it that dancing girls always af-
feet such odd names? At the New York
roof garden there is one who calls herself
Lolo Yberri. She probably made that
name all by herself. for no one ever heard
of a person being born with one like it,
There was a girl named Lulu Eberlie on
the stage a few weeks back that re-
sembled Lolo, and perhaps she's the same
one with the name done over and brought

a number of "Ismenes." "Yolandes,'
"Antigones" and any quantities of names

the stage that common names are hurt
ful to professional success, but with sen
sible theatergoing people that notion has
petered out. 1t would be welcome in
novation to return to the dear old homely
names like Lena" Mary" "Rehpcca."

YOUNGSTOWN EXPLOSION.
Calamity Occurred In One of the
Country's Largest Mines.

Calamity Occurred In One of the
Country's Largest Mines.
The mine at Johnstown, Pa, in
which the recent explosion occurred,
whereby many lives were lost, is one
of the largest coal mines in the United
States, according 20 the statement of
officials. says the New York World.
From the entrance IN the hill across
the riser to the one at Mill creek Is a
distance OF three and three-quarter
miles.
The Klondike section, in which the
explosion occurred, is about two miles
from the Mill creek entrance. The
mine is divided into a large number OF
headings, levels and sections. The
sections run off to the left and right OF
the headings and are known as rights
and let's by the miners.
The men who escaped are familiar
with the mine. They have spent years
working in it; otherwise they could
never have reached the surface. Lights
were out, and there was no way for
them to find their way to the top had
they not known the mine perfectly.

HOW HE LOST HER.

He hardly dared to touch her hand;
He deemed she was so far above him
That he would never have the sard
To even think that she could love him.
And so he let concealment prey
Upon the cheek he lacked so badly
And dumbly watched her day by DAY
And moped about and acted sadly.
It may be she his secret guessed:
If So she never seemed to show 1t;
But, then, If love is not expressed
A girl can't be supposed to know 1t.
She let the foolish fellow call;
He had crude idea of spooning;
He seemed afraid to talk at all
And sat and took it out in incoming.
Another sutton came at last
Who was not shy about his wooing;
She knew ere many minutes passed
That there was something certain doing
And one week from the day they met
His ring was on her second finger:
Also the happy day was set;
That lover surely did not linger.
And No. l he dropped and pined,
Recovered, some time later mated,
And ever after was inclined
To thank his lucky stars he'd waited.
The moral is, when all is done
Our love we should not hide or smother
But, anyway, it's six Of one
And half dozen of the other.
