BASHFUL YOUNG MAN
HAS SAD EXPERIENCE

A Young man, Mr.. A. Nash. from the
city, called to spend the evening last week
with his sweetheart at Pratt City. A
storm came up and the girls father asked
him to remain over night. He was a BASH
full young man. and the next morning
when he was invited to a seat at the
table he reluctantly accepted. He was
very nervous and agitated. He sat op
posite the mirror and discovered he had
forgotten to comb his hair Then he
dropped his fork on the floor, and as he
stopped to pick it up he upset his coffee.
Matters went from bad to worse until the
young man quit eating and put his hands
under the table. The loose end of the
table cloth was lying In his lap, and when
he touched 1t he turned pale. He thought
1t was his shirt, and in his nervous ex-
element while dressing he had forgotten
to put the garment inside his trousers.
There was no time to lose. He hurriedly
stuffed the supposed shirt inside his
trousers. Two minutes later, when the
family arose from the table, there was a
crash The dishes lay in a broken mass
upon the floor. The young man pulled
three feet of the table cloth out of his
pants and fled through the door. He is
now hiding and thinking over his great
mistake, in not having been properly
dressed by Birminghams leading cloth

us rig YOU up this fall. The chapter
closes with the girl looking for less

BY THE WAY.

BY Julia Nicely Finch
It's the afterwards that is so hard the
coming back to the same, familiar place
with all its everydayness grey and dull
lacking the light of the beloved pres
ence, and the first twilight, the first
growing darkness, the first night, when
the homely details of the everyday bring
us to the gong about and the closing of
doors and Windows-Ah, mel He who does
not know that cruel pang that comes
with the shutting of the outer portals
when that dreadful day is at an end-has
been spared the descent into one of
grief's deep abysses. For the feeling will
come that IN some strange and subtle
way we are shutting out into the dark
our hearts dearest: some part of that
beloved personality that meant so much
of life's warmth and blessedness to us!
But-when, as of late, that loss is
city's loss, the we do sit down beside
desolated hearthstone; tho our hearts
ache almost to breaking as we sit there;
thank God in some strange sweet way
there will come upon us, warm COM
forting, the flood of human sympathy
that will in time help us to bear all
things
| mind me of a day when as 1 stood
at the crossing awaiting my car, there
came toward me a lovely, gracious being;
woman with a radiant brow. newly
crowned with welded joy; woman
whose sweet lips smiled at all the dear

ton all her ,ife), whose mellow, musical
voice knew note save that Of gentle
ress and genuine kindness whose
chances brimmed with joy. whose whole
being sent out beams of brightness into

Are you happy. dear?'
Blushng, sming-blessing the dingy
street, she made answer:
