Ha, ha, B. surprised mo at his last
writing, But, by the way, just hold
on and let me toll you something
about b. / have been knowing Mr..
B. for some time. He certainly does
not want to marry; matrimony is not
his object, I'll assure you, and I'll
tell you the reason. a few years
ago B. was very popular among tho
young ladies, He would carry them
out for an evening drive. lie became
frequent visitor to the home of
certain young lady, so frequent that
the news went out one bright Sun
day that B. was married, and it was
published, and when he heard this
be was greatly excited and made
haste to rectify the mistake, and
meeting some friends, who Of course
would congratulate him, not knowing
but what he was married, and this
greatly vexed b., and ii is said threw
him in q convulsiye fevor, in which
be promised himself if lie survived
lie would never he guilty Of talking
love to another girl, for he did not
want to have another such expert
once, for that was enough to kill a |
man, and if it had been reality it
would have killed him.
Mr.. B. said that / hal my rathor
out getting me Il. Il. y. route pc
tition filled out since 1 had heard |
what good luck the Liberty clrri +
had will not deny that, an II. +
d. route is good thing to have in
the family, but do not want to in
terfere with your star, Mr. b, and az
for the pretty girls on the ronts, 1
can count them by the score.
