A PSYCHOLOGICAL
 INTRUSION.

 No one, excepting the sick restored to health, has reason to feel more thankful for that wonderful advance science has made within the last ten or twenty years than l. But right here in the beginning l must break away from my subject to tell a story.
 Margaret May charmed me by what l consider the higher traits. She was sober girl of a1 intellectual type, with excellent principles and elevated ideals I am not a man to be pleased with gay, frolicsome girl, however kind hearted, however winning. It was, therefore, natural that I should yield to the characteristics of Marga- ret. We became engaged, and every thing looked well for our future happi- ness when my fiancee began to show a succession of singular changes. One evening when 1 went to see her she bounded into the room like a holden, threw her arms about my neck, kissed me several times in rapid succession and, beginning with You bad boy" upbraided me for not having come earlier. When I asked her for what she had wished me, she said that cir GUS had come to town. and she was dying" to attend that evenings per formance. Astonished, asked her if the next night would not do as we'll. She said it would not. and when I pressed her for reason the only one she could give was that she couldn't wait
 IL was altogether too late to go to the circus that evening, so 1 spent the rest of 1t with her in the coZy library where we had passed so many happy hours, often taking book after book from the shelves, rambling in them together and calling each others attention to favor lte passages. But, alas, there was no such enjoyment for us tonight Mar Saret spoke of the books as "musty. dusty things in which she had no in- terest and insisted in talking only upon the most frivolous topics.
 It is needless to say that l was not only disappointed but shocked Could this be my steady, well balanced in tellectual Margaret? 1 was inclined to doubt it. Could it be her twin sister? l knew that she had no twin sister. 1 endured her prattle as long as 1 was able; then, telling her that l had some work to do before going to bed, l rose to go.
 And you will take me to the circus tomorrow night"' she asked. with pout.
 Certainly if you wish it." l replied and when l could escape from an ex- tolerance of caresses left her.
 That night and the next day my brain was in turmoil. I was like a man who had lost his love. 1 brooded instead of working till after office hours and in the evening called to take Margaret to the circus. The maid who received me at the door went upstairs to announce me and, re- turning, told me that Miss May was not feeling well and had gone to bed. There was no message of disappoint- ment at missing the performance nor at not seeing me. Indeed, the maid told me that she thought her mistress had not expected me that evening. This would have been natural had it not been for the engagement, since It was an evening I seldom called.

MANCHESTER SHOULD HAVE TAG
DAY.
Why not have a "tag day"
Manchester?

Why not have a tag day" in
Manchester?
Our neighboring town, Indepea-
denee, has organized Civic I'm
provement league. The object Of the
league is to improve and beautify the
streets and public places. A fund
was started by an organized canvass
by company of young women solic-
iting from the people on the streets
and in the stores any sum of money
above ten cents. Each donor is CIV
en- tag, which indicates his or her
support to the league and it's work.
The idea originated in the larger
cities and has been successfully car
riad out wherever tried. Lamont has
raised several hundred dollars in
this way while independence has
done great deal in improving the
appearance of that town from the
money raised in this way. Consider
able interest is being taken in the
starting of such movement in Man
chester. Inquiries are made as to
the manner of conducting such a
campaign. There seems to be no
doubt in the minds of many of the
people of this city that if the council
should see fit to suggest or recon-
mend the movement, the town WILL
gladly give it united support. Sever
al hundred dollars might easily be
realized in this way. From this sum
might be appropriated certain sums
for the building of concrete wall,
beginning north of the Young I'M
plement house, extending north to
the Novelty stables. and the river
front made presentable in appearance
If such a league is organized many
things would be done to prevent the
public health which are. now neglect
ed and left undone. What Indepen.
dence and other cities and towns in
the state have done, Manchester can
do, and the manifest interest in max
ing our town one of the most at
tractlve in appearance in the state
proves that the people are interested
and would support the proposition
without reservation.
