"Oh, 1 don't know" The bachelor
leaned back and regarded the widows
coronet braid through the smoke Of
his cigar. 1T isn't the marriage vows
that are so difficult to keep. It's the
fool vows a man makes before mar
riage and the fool promises he makes
afterward that he stumbles over and
falls down on. The marriage VOWS
are so big and vague that you can get
all around them without actually
breaking them, but If they should in
~terpolate concrete questions into the

"And yet" reflected the bachelor,

woman - is constantly on the
qui vive to catch the latest hints of
fashion. and to accommodate them to
her peculiar needs and her pocketbook.
Perhaps the newest novelty for the
winter season Is the Beau Brummel'
tie. 1t was first introduced across the

feminine and fashionable favor with
an enthusiasm easily to be understood

fastening is most simply and success
fully effected by the mere passing OF

The more "dressy" tailor-made coats
are for the most part of %half-length or

seen in cloth or serge, though there
are exceptions made in fur sacques

tent ourselves with the long graceful
semi-fitting coats which are so becom-

He has been for some time taking a
course of practical instruction as
marine engineer, on one of the Pa

the Sandwich Islands and Hongkong,
Yokohama and other ports of the
Far East. He is now 20 years of

useful and successful career. Stan

moments of his life, while away from

The beautiful gloss that some
times appears on big red apples

is not alwas product of the hand of

a sidewalk display shelf. When he
came to the apples, he deity burn

original manner. He m0iStened the
surface with thin spray of saliva
from his mouth and after rubbing
with cloth vigorously for a moment
placed the fruit in tempting array
for the prospective purchaser When
this method becomes generally known
apple-pealers will be in demand, and

doubtless come into general use to
remove the Overcoat of this favorite
fruit.

The question has been asked by a

the costs will be taxed against the
complaining party; otherwise, the
defendant will be mulcted, under the
decisions of our Supreme Court. In

In the Olympic mountains, in

makes burrows in the banks of small
streams and fills them with leaves
and stems of water-plants, which it
first cures for the purpose by cutting
them down and spreading them in
the sun to dry. The resemblance of
the dried stems to hay is the origin
of the name popularity given to the
Industrious animal. The scientific
name of this rodent is Haplodon.
