Bert Was a Promising One.

q aint interested in dead ones. she remarked. Maybe if you wire some Richmond undertaken he'll put you wise.'
 Why, what on earth's the matter with you two, leavin' town to get mar ried and comin home alone, and me waitin' for morn half an hour to make fuss over yuh both, and all the girls .talkin' about nothin else for two whole days, and a piece in the paper what said he was a promisin young man, and"
 That newspaper is all right" re- marked sine of the yellow sailor as the two slowly walked through the con- course to the waiting room. Hes certainly one of the most promisin' young men I ever had dealins with, but he ain't there when 1t comes to makin' good. If they'd said he was one of our leadin' young men, they'd been there with the right dope, too. He can certainly lead you into more cheap restaurants and by more stores than any other fellow I ever knew, and I ain't been no bashful Bessie. either.
 'I started on the trip goin' down. I asks him to buy me a 10-cent mag from the news kid. and he tells me that they ain't no use n readin' nothin', and that besides, seein' as how we was goin' to get married, we might as well begin savin' and there wasn't no use in wastin' money on readin'. Then 1 asked him for some chocolates, and he goes up in the air faster'n Orville Wright After that I starts thinkin' about what might happen when asks him later on for a new veil or a package of hairpins or a new set of corset laces, and it don't look good to me.

FLOWER INITIATES INSECTS.
Spots on Paint That Resemble Flies
 Curious Bee orchid.
he Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Orchid limitations are puzzle to flower scholars. The whole appearance of the flower is suggestive of some insect, some- times to quite a remarkable degree It does not seem easy to find any real pur- pose that could be served by this resem- bIance, yet no one iinagines that 1t can be accidental.
 Any one who knew of the bee orchid. a native of Europe, and came upon 1t for the first time, would at once recognize 1t. It seems to be a large velvety brown backed bee. variegated with yellow. The two lateral petals might cerve well for the wings of the insect.
 In the center of the lip of the fly orchid there is a small bluish spot like the body of fly. The two lateral petals are slender and curiously like the antennae ofran insect. The whole illusion Is coni- plete and suggests to the casual glance that few flies are hanging on the stem of some plant which has cast its flower.

Great preys make true men thieves.

Wealth has noble uses, but 1t has also a hypnotizing power which stills the con- science and makes us oblivious to the fact that the greatest product of polit- ical system Is not money, but high-mind- ed self-respecting and altruistio men.

Oh, You TiohtWad!

''He was always there before with the change when l made a noise like as if I wanted to go to the vodeveele or daily with a walnut sudae or eat a deviled crab with a little Pisner on the side: but now when he realizes that we are goin' to get married. he begins to make Tightwad Charlie look like the fellow who's always got taxicab feet and who drinks the wealthy water for breakfast
 ''When we get off the train I am that hungry I could eat @ hot dog and I tells him that it's dinner time. He says he knows a fine place where they serve great meals, and I dares him to do his worst He leads down a side street to a place kept by lot of greasy furriners, and there's signs on the walls tellin' what fine steaks they serve for 15 cents and how rolls and unsurpa ssed coffee Is sellin' for cents, and all about try oun crull- CTS, six for a nickel Well. say, I wasl that sore that I was speeches., and I just sits still and lets him order. I ain't got the heart to tell yuh what we tried to eat, only I don't mind tellin' you that it cost AT cents. We had two ba- nanas at cent apiece for dessert.
 "When we comes out he asks me if ! don't mind goin' to boardin' house he knows of and stayin' there by my self that night. He says he don't want to get married until the next day, be- cause he wanted the mayor to tie the knot because he'd heard that the mayor bein' pretty well fixed wouldn't take no fee, and that he liked to marry folks from Washington. I don't mind tellin you that before he sprung that surprise package on me, I was about decided to pass it all up. That settled me
 She'd Had Experience.
 ''I called him cheap skate. four flush, and a shoe-string sport, and I hiked up to Murphy's all by myself, threatenin' him that I'd sick cop on him if he followed me- never did go out with no man yet that I didn't take a little coin along for emergencies. ever since the time that fellow from Bladens- burg left me to pay for meal year ago You remember, don't you?
 q aint seen him since and don't want to. and there ain't never goin' to be no weddin' bells for me until the man on the job can show me more'n $3.75 before we hit the church-and I'm that tired I'd give a dollar for a bracer. Let's get a couple"
 And they hurried into the dining room to spend the last of the emergency bank roll carried by she in the yellow hat.
 For the foregoing reasons, the only couple that left on the CHI special, who started out with any idea of marrying, failed to do so, and the trip holds the record as being the only one ever con ducted by the Richmond matron that did not bear fruit in the form of at least one wedding ceremony.
