Girl During Leap Year.

Girl During Leap Year.
Ninteen hundred and four is leap
year, the first one in eight years, and.
in popular parlance, 1t is up to the
girls for a period of twelve months.
Whether or not they will do their
duty remains to be seen, but suffice
to say that at the present, they will
not, car not, be more derelict than
have a number of the boys of Lewis.
town during their eight years OF OBJ
~portunity. But who will be the lucky
ones among the Lewistown bachelors
Is Justly a matter Of speculation.
There are a few who are In the go
Ing, going. gone" list, but OF others
there is not SO much certainty.
Dick Hanke occurs to one as a good
bachelor TO start with. He has reach
ed the age OF discretion and Is an
adept at putting up stoves. That &C
compllshment alone will obviate the
most frequent cause OF domestic In.

one Barkis In a certain particular.
Frank Mckechnie and Charlie Denyes
have. II is said, expressed their wear.
mess OF bachelor quarters. They how
ever, are listed among the going"
gang mentioned above.
Gordon Shafer and Teddy Smith
have been sticking around a good
while, but are 10y in a ~consentible
frame of mind. They are both good.

Louie B~lodgett loves his happy
bachelor home. but is not absolutely
, averse to changing 1t, providing the
proper inducement is made. II will
be best to wait until the warm days
OF spring before making advances to
Louie, as a proposition in the winter
time might cause him TO get flustered
and forget to deliver a load OF coal,

fer from cold. Phil Chase is another
one who is considerably devoted to
business. but might find time to give
a favorable reply to some fair aspir.
antess for leap year honors. Alexan.
der Lehman has already made up his
mind. nevertheless. he is not entirely
without the possibility OF changing.
Pets Oswiler and Art d'Autremont
have also declared themselves, but
may be bluffing. They are what an
insurance man would call a good
risk" at any rate. Avery Armstrong
gave up about four years ago and de-
cided TO wait patiently for another
leap year. II is here. He says he will
be everlastingly too late IL he has to
walt for another one. Avery has
sworn of telling Missouri jokes and
has, in other ways. put himself in line
for bensdictal honsrs.
Although George Burmaster boasts
OF his unlmpressionableness, there are
those who believe that his left vital
organ is not so armor. plated as he
tries to make believe. In fact IL is
thought by some OF his most intimate
associates that he really likes girls
and is glad leap year has come.
Artie Wright says he will positively
have to decline this time. Warren
Woodson has been practicing the ex.

months. Don't be deceived, he's ex.

appearance of a hopeless case. But
sometimes you can't always tell. II
you want to see Will In the evening
call either at the office of the Citi.
zens' Electric company or at Nc.
Kechnie's drug store.
These do not complete the list but
are just a few. given to illustrate the
point that few girls are more FORUM
ately situated for leap year than those
living In Lewistown.
