honeymoon had not been all she had
hoped or intended. Nonsense. my
dear" said |, how can one expect too
much OF, welded love? 1t is far more
likely that you expected too little, and
did not make adequate preparation.
fancy you set out badly and with one
sided notions as to the honey. Bid
you expect to undergo a strong test
of character and of love? Did you ex-
pect to take the honey with you as
part of the trOusseau? Did you expect
to find yourself responsible for at least
one. half of the whole supply? Did
YOU expect to give far more than you
got? If not, you expected too little

The u. S. Postofiice De-
partment has made a new
ruling, requiring all publish
ers Of newspapers to exact
the pay in advance for all
subscribers whose papers are
carried in the mails at the
second-class rate, or one cent
per pound. Otherwise the
postage rate would be pro-
hibitory. All publishers are
given a limited time in
which to adjust their sub
scription list to the new rul-
ing. Therefore all our sub
scribers are requested to at
once pay up in advance, else
when the time limit expires
we shall be compelled to
stop sending the paper ex-
cept to those who have paid
IN advance.

THE NEW DEPOT.

The options secured on the prop
erty of the Chiles-Thompson Gro
Gerry co. and Mr.. VIM. Bolts are
rapidly expiring and from outward
appearances we are no closer to &
new depot than we ever were
This is due, in the main, we are
told, to objections of few citi.
zens, who place personal Interests
above everything else and who are
demanding that the new depot be
built on the site where the building
called a depot, now stands, or not
built at all.
Nine out Of every ten citizens OF
Nj. Sterling prefer that a new de
pot. if built, be erected between
Maysville and Bank streets, but il
the depot cannot be thus located
then The sentiment is unanimously
in favor of a new depot on the
present site. 1t seems to us thai
the proposition of locating the de
pot should be left entirely to the
railroad.
That we need new depot. ev
erybody must admit. The presenj
one is thoroughly inadequate anC
is a disgrace to our city. Ou
business men should abandon any
controversy now existing as to
which of the two sites is most de-
sirable and bend all their energies
to the securing Of new depot, to
be located on.either site the rail
road company may choose.

Not Satisfied.

There is a bright young attache at
the British embassy ia Washington
who, shortly after his arrival in this
country, was a guest at dinner given
by the wife of a well-knOwn official at
tie national capital, hostess whose
hospitality is VIGOROUSLY inadequate,
says writer in Harper's Magazine.
The repast was Of the usual sam
ple' kind expected by any one who
had ever been a guest at the house. II
served merely as an appetizer to the
hungry Briton, and when coffee was
brought his ill-cOncealed dissatisfac'
ton was most amusing to the other
guests. The hostess, however, did not
notice It, for she said to him amiably
Now. do tell me when We may have
the pleasure of having you dine with
us again."
Immediately. madam, Immediately,
was the unexpected reply.
