 Are you going to marry me or are you not?' demanded the young man.
 How can I answer when you asf, two questions at once?" said the young woman plaintively.
 The young man turned purple with repressed wrath. Just then the boa drifted over a snag, which tilted it perilously. With a shriek the young woman precipitated herself in thG young mans direction As she clutched his coat collar the boat right ed itself
 Never mind about moving back, said the young man firmly. This is much better. Are you going to marry me?"

Filling a Lamp.

Reservoirs of oil lamps should never be filled to the brim, as oil expands when heated, and the overflow is apt to exude, causing a smell of paraffin, while to prevent the oil from flowing over the edge of the burner after the lamp has been filled the wick, after cleaning, should be turned down below the level of the burner until it Is required to light it.

 'Thatd do me a lot of good, wouldn' it?" asked the young man with deer disgust. I've no doubt you wouldn' say word!

 If you can detect a laugh on m! countenance,' said the young woman solemnly, I'll be actually ashamed O myself."
 I've no doubt of that said tht young man, darkly. Honest, are yol ever going to listen to me?"

DATE FOR AUTO RACE.
TanderbH Cup Contest To Be
Held on October Fl.

Buffalo June Accommodating on the action Of
the committee sportive of the Automobile Club of
France concerning the Vanderbilt Cup race this
year. William Fl. Hotchkiss president OF the
American Automobile Association. said tonight:
III the French manufacturers who compose the
majority of the committee sportive Of the French
club and of whom is also the chairman, de-
cline to compete under American rules. then the
loss will be theirs not Although this feat
ure concerns us but slightly, already as
sured of sufficient number OF foreign entries to
give international flavor and are able to promise
the automobile public that the 1905 Vanderbilt Cup
will be the banner event in its classic his
tory. This race will be held October - over A
stretch of the new Long Island motor parkway
and necessary adjoining roads to complete most
perfect course ever supplied for such a race
William h. Vanderbilt. jr.. president OF the
parkway, will turn the first spadefu of earth on
Saturday and fifteen hundred 1aborers will be at
work two days later
1T is perhaps pertinent inquire why It is that
a local American club in New York CITY is so
anxious to assist few disgruntled French manu-
facturers to compete with each other in a race in
the United States As for the American Auto-
mobile Association, it believes in America for
Americans, and in the International supremacy
OF the American automobile through American con-
tests, conducted under American rules If the
French club does not want to compete under such
rules the loss is, / repeat, theirs, not ours"
