you?"
 q suppose not" said Curtfus, reflect ively And is there no one else in all your wonderful New York who would do?"
 Not Even Platt.
 "I know of none, not even Senator Platt. MT. Devery or Chauncey M. De- pew" said I, sadly Each Is d favorite son; each possesses in some ways a cer- tain amount of civic virtue-Mr. Platt particularly is known hereabouts as a sort of deus OK machina, and you of course will recall the prophetic utterance of the oracle, 'Depew his nisi bonum post pranidale verbatim joel .causa'-but they do not either of them measure up to the requirements of this precise situation. As for Devery he might fill the particular portion of the subway into which he jumped, but no more"
 Then" said Marcus Curtius, extend- ing his hand and wishing me good night, II can't see but that New York will have to remain wide open as ever"
 Tt looks that way" said I. And after all. why not? Certum voto pete finem," I added.
 ''I beg pardon?" said Marcus Curtius.
 "Certum voto pete finem.' replied. Which, literally translated. means that's certainly the way the repeaters voted at the last election. It is the law"
 Whereupon MT. Marcus Curtius passed out of my vision and left me moralizing upon the difference between the Rome of his day and New York of ours. In cor recting the evils of wide open town certainly the old Romans were in easier case than we. The heroic jump of one man saved the day in Curtius' time, but I doubt If New York would be benefit cd if the whole fusion movement led by Dr. Parkhurst were to follow suit. though it would be an interesting proceeding to watch if they could only be induced to try it.

STRANGE TEAM.
Rattlesnake and Alligator Hauled an
 Automobile for Miles.

Rattlesnake and Alligator Hauled an
 Automobile for Miles.
 Minneapolis Tribune.
 One of the Minneapolitans who win ters in Florida and enjoys an automobile spin over the elegant roads of coqu!na shells is Asa Paine.
 It was one fine February day last year that he planned a long ride with his friend and business partner, E. J. Nixon, of Duluth.
 They were running along the pie turesque bank of Indian river. amid the tall, majestic Spanish palmettos that ire quently dropped blessings of moss. and were wishing their friends from the fri gid North could enjoy such pleasure, when the automobile came to sudden stop.
 The gasoline had run out, but that was not all. They had forgotten to bring along a supply for such emergencies They were sixty miles from their cottage and miles away from any semblance of Vil- lage. -,-s
 But a Yankee in diversity is ever mindful of the axiom, necessity is the mother of invention"
 These gentlemen immediately set about to devise some means of returning home. A rattling sound like tacks in a tin box attracted the attention of MT. Paine. It was a big diamond-back rattler, but a few feet away from him. By a clever trick of lassooing the gentleman soon had the snake captive. While he was so occu- pied his friend was busy on the river bank. He slyly stole upon an alligator basking in the sun and quietly slipped a moose over his mouth, rendering h.m helpless. Quite a little trouble was ex- perienced by the gentleman in dragging this inhabitant of the salt water to their vehicle. By means of rope for harness and ribbon for reins a tandem was form ed of reptiles whose utility had never be- fore been discovered by mankind. The journey home was monotonously slow. but the gentlemen felt rewarded for the new discovery they had made for their fellow-men.
 Tt simply goes to show said MT. Paine, that cattle don't have to be ship ped into Florida. The alligator Is by far the most intelligent of the two. and would estimate his strength at six horse power. I would estimate the strength of the rattler at one horse power Sure ly that much strength would be exerted by an individual in getting out of his way One funny incident occurred while we were driving our tandem.
 We suddenly. came upon some negro women and children returning home from fishing. When they caught sight of our vehicle their supefstitious natures pre- vailed. and they fled in all directions amid the widest kind of screams. It was close parallel to the days of witch- cry"

When you take into consideration that the happiness of a lifetime is at stake when you marry, that marriage Is not for day. week, a month or a year, it be-. hooves you to look well and carefully, especially when there are so many ex- amples of marrying in haste and re- penting at leisure"
 It is good to know man well before you trust yourself to him until death do you part. A man naturally puts his best forward, as 1t were. at the outset of his acquaintance with a charming young girl and endeavors to the extent of his abilities to make himself agreeable to her.
 He studies her likes and dislikes care- fully and is eager to show her the deli cate little attentions that he knows go a great way in winning a girls heart The men who fall quick victims to the fever called love are wont to reco, ar from 1t with equal rapidlty. The right kind of man seldom makes up his mind re- garding marriage until after he has de- liberated over the matter long and earn estly, studying carefully the girl who would have it in her power to make or
 mar his whole after life were she his wife.

Every Confederate who has return
ed from Durant is loud in praise of
the treatment accorded them while
over there. Uncle Bob Scales says
no member of John II. Morgan camp
ever received more courteous or con-
siderate attention at any reun.oh
Every oil soldier had plenty to eat
and drink and a good place to sleep.
He says there must have been be-
tween 700 or 500 veterans there, but
he never heard any adverse word from
one Of them. 1t was universally de
clared by an that Durant had the
best reunion ever held in the Indian
Territory. Uncle Bob added, you
can't say too much about this, fer
it's. So" The entire delegation which
went from Ardmore speak in the same
strain and Durant is carrying the non
