EDITORIAL COMMENT.

At last the reason for New Bruins.
wick's decadenco and Perth Ambny'
progress is discovered. 1t is becau sc
New Brunswick throws cold water OH
lovers and love making. Some time
ago Andrew Carnegie gave Brunswick
q library building. Its front is orna-
mented with broad stone steps, used in
the daytime by the patrons of the
library proper. At eventide these
same steps are used by what New
Brunswick denominates "the spoons, ;
that is, by youthful lovers, who sit
IN the broad, cool steps and tell each
other how glad they are that they are
Il live and how brief their existence
would be without each others de-
lightful company. The j%anitor of
the building, having not a particle of
sympath Y for such, happiness, throws
cold water over the steps at sun
down, and no threatens to have an
electric light placed out of reach
above the steps if the water does not
dampen the ardor of the youthful
lovers. And the trustees of the
library uphold the %janitor i'll this I'M
sympathetic sort of business. Before
the library steps were laid the usual
trysting place was the High School
porch, but an electric light was
maliciously hung there. If New
brunswick persists in this sort OF
thing it will not be surprising if all
the spoons move to Perth Amboy.

fer this. and Il recess was taken. In
the meantime the parties to the combi-
nation which had nominated DenoCn
met at the executive mansion and pre-
pared a slate for the remainder of the

which was purchased in the east.
Rolled up inside of it he found a
note from a young lady who had
worked on it, in which she said she
would be pleased to correspond with
the buyer of the shirt, provided be
was matrimonially inclined. Of
course the nice young man answered
on perfumed paper, and used his rosi-
est language, stating how glad he
would be to get married. In short
time be received an answer stating
that the younglady had been married
three years and had two children.
Upon investigating to find out why
he was too late, it was explained by
the fact that the shirt had lain on the
shelves of the local dealer for several
years. He did not advertise.-Na-
