a sIlqht misunderstanding.

A young man whose gallantry was
largely in excess of his pecuniary
means sought to remedy this defect
and to save the money required for
the purchase of expensive flowers by
arranging with a gardener to let him
have bouquet from time to time in
return for his cast-of clothes. So 1t
happened that one day he received a
bunch of the most beautiful roses,
which he at once dispatched to his
lady love. In sure anticipation OF a
friendly welcome, he called at the
hcyse of the young woman the same
evening, and was not little surprised
at a frosty reception.
After pause the young woman re-
marked in the most frigid tones: "You
sent me a note today
"A note-I?'
Certainly, along with the flowers"
ITO be sure, l sent you flowers;
but"
And this note was with the bou-
uuet. Do you mean to deny it?'
And the young man read: Don't
forget the old trousers you promised
me- the other day."

the farmers wife throws the scraps

he crows; and when the other rooster
ticks him, he crows; and SO he keeps

even wakes up during the night and
crows a little aIgsneral principles.

ART IN SKIRT LIFTING.

French Girl Excels American In This
Matter.
Inherent grace Is no greater in
French girls than in American girls, :"
said Nine. Baker at the national con.
vention of dressmakers. But in the
dainty art of carrying their skirts in
their hands while taking the air Of
the boulevards, French girls are In
comparably superior to their .Ameri-
can cousins. The secret is that the
French maids petticoat is made to
clear the ground, while the Ameri-
cans drop skirt is as long as. the
outer garment The American must
lift both skirts to prevent their trail
ing in the dirt Of the streets. She
grasps a great bundle of unwieldy
cloth, so heavy and clumsy that
almost invariably she pulls it around
in way that plays havoc with the
effectiveness Of her gown. The
French demoiselle has only the outer
skirt to care for, ard she has no need
Of muscle to lift with fairy grace the
fabric. -Chicago Record-Herald.

The action OF the house is a keen disap-
pointment to Governor Mickey. The gov
ernor said tonight:
81 am dumbfounded at the action OF the
house. I Am thoroughly convinced that a
constitutional convention, will not afford the
relief the state needs as separate amend
ments would have done. I.can't see that a
convention guarantees any more certainty
than the amendment plan and. certainly it is
not as direct and Is far more expensive. I
fear a grave mistake has been made. The
only recourse l see is for the house to. re-
scind Its action. OF course lam not able
to say whether 1t will do this or not. II
looks as though, since the constitution
needs but three or four changes, the house
might, with pront, have taken different ac-
ton. It is understood that many members
who helped vote down the amendment bills
today are disposed to look favoTAbly upon
a proposition to reoonsldsra their action.
Inasmuch as the session Is to be extended
one day. some effort may be made to bring
about q change"
1t is pretty we'll understood that Douglas
