TIME TO BE 1T.

There was to be circus in town
next day, and Robert wished to go to
see it unload so he sought to obtain
his fathers consent. The first ques-
ton his father put to him on being
approached was, Have you asked
your mother?"
Eyes, sir" was Roberts prompt re-
ply.
What did she say?' the father pur-
sued.
"She said 1 couldn't 60" was the
frank reioinder.
What do you mean, Robert, by
coming to me to ask to dc thing
after your mother has told you you
could not do it?'
well, papa the little fellow OBJ
served, Il heard you say last week
that you're the boss of this ranch, and

A Miscellaneous Shower.

In reply to the request from cor
respondent for a shower we think
by way of novelty this scheme proba-
bly, exceeds any shower" yet be-
slowed upon a bride-elect. Twelve
close friends made out list of things
very useful but very often forgotten
in the best regulated families. When
the afternoon arrived for the farewell
tea, huge paper sack was deposited
a. the feet of the honored guest with
the request to look for anything she
didn't have, or could not find. As the
couple were going right to housekeep-
ing the contents were purchased with
that thought in mind.
The following are some of the OBJ
iects: A paper of tacks, ball of string,
paper of needles, labels for bottles,
box of wax matches, lead pencils, clip
ping scissors, tack-hammer, cork
screw, memorandum pad and bottle
of ink.

He named to himself the day when
he should tell her to walk and should
afterward write in his notebook:
""The experiment has ended success
fully" Through early experiences
of his own he had been deeply con-
vinced of the impern .anence of wom-
ems attachments. He had also
thought himself proof against fancy
or passion. He now made an entry
under the date, in his diary, a sim
pie and youthful habit which he
had never abandoned. The entry
was long and of scientific character.
It was from this time that her par
ents noted the marked improvement
in Eloise, and that his friends noted
a change in Hugo Farnsworth. He

He was called out of the city soon

Before the smile in her eyes his
determination wavered. A level beam
of sun fell through the western win

Farnsworth started to draw the
shade. Then he leaned to Eloise.

have been growing stronger every

Again her eyes were raised to his,
tender with candid surprise. He took
her hand, not as one who entreats
but compels. Lean on me and

She staggered to her feet, her
spirit fiuttered upward with the ex-

she rose to her feet Hugo's determin-

For the average COW, weighing
