Here is new way Of conveying a
gentle hint to young man Who goes TO
see his hest gill and apparently forgets
what time it is. A young man who does
not live far from Monroe was calling the
other evening and when the hour be-
came late the young lady was wonder
ing how to give him hint to leave. But
the girls mother solved the problem, in
a new way. She started the alarm on
the clock, and as soon as the young man
heard it he made hasiy exit. The joke
was too good TO keep and somebody told
it, so the young man has to stand con-
siderable good nstured joshing from his
friends.
