A Talk on Artificial

it received any consideration at all.
If one could see to get around with.

But gradually peoples tastes
have been educated TO demand
more and better light. They want
to trade in stores where the goods
are we'll illuminated and where
they can see what they are purchas'
ing. Artificial lighting now serves
both for illumination and adver.
tisirg; and the advertising value is
being realized more and more until
it is demanding first place.

He did not look well. Something

this, turned the gas even lower.

cried, I'm a dub"

HIS FASTIDIOUS FIANCE
By LOUIS CARL STEIN


Mrs. John Durham was what might
be termed an overlooked widow! She
was only thirty-eight years old when
her husband died. and she was by no
means a homely woman. and yet at
the age OF forty-six she was still q
widow. Such things do happen in vii
lagos now and then. The piano man
may praise widows eyes. the sew
ing machine man praise her hair, and
the tin peddler look at her with adj
miring eyes and sigh. but that may
also lead to nothing. 1t had led to
nothing in the widow Dunham's case.
A widow or any other woman must
have an offer of marriage before she
can refuse it.
The time came. Mrs. Durham was
still hanging on to her forty-sixth
year when along came Moses Frazer,
living In a village six miles away.
Moses would have come years sooner,
but for circumstances over which he
had no control. He had a wife. and
having one. the most he could do was
to sigh and wait When the wife
was 6dtueIeu III ny the REAPER and
year OF mourning had passed Moses
was free to call on the widow. When
she looked out of the window at the
click OF the gate la,ch and saw him
she knew his errand.
Moses entered the house and talked
about this and that. and 1t was a long
time, and he had crossed and re-
crossed his legs many times before he
got up the courage to say:
Widow, I'm alone In the world, and
SO are you"
"oh. but don't mind it." was the
reply.
But thought you might. 1t some
how isn't natural for woman to be
living alone. AS the Bible says. there
ought to be man around the house."
Il never read that In the Bible.
Leastwise. l shouldn't want a man
around Under foot. 1t must be relief
to you not to have a wife mussing
around"
But IL amt widow-it amt" re-
piled Moses. I'm so dfnged lonesome

would make lot of them look bad.
There was no ship of war in the
early days of the nineteenth century
that could catch Polly on run to lee
yard. With her canvas spread wing
end wing she simply ran away from a
big British man-of-war which gave
chase to her on the Bermudas. The
Polly commanded by relative of the
prest president of the Atlantic com.
pany If Amesbury. had captured a
Britis.- nerchantman blown south
from Idiifax. and British frigate
gave chase. Sailing on the wind, al.
though fine for the schooner, was
much finer for the man-o-war, and
the captain of the Polly just put his
helm up and stood away to leeward.
The way the schooner ran was won
derful to the British tars. and they all
knew there was no chance of captur-
ing the schooner il she stood long on
that course. The night which FOL.
lowed was thick and the Polly had no
difficulty in escaping from her pur-
suer.
The privateer was put in trade aft
er the war. and from then on has
been constantly in service between
this port and other towns along the
New England coast. The Polly has
been around the world several times,
having once been chartered as a pri-
vate yacht She has often been round
the Horn.

how I'd feel about 1t, and on her dying
bed she said I'd better get married
again"
did she name any one?"
We'll, no. but she might II she
hadn't got short o. breath. guess the
naming was to be left to me-"
And have you picked the person
out YETI"
Il have. widow. and that's what
brought me here today. Yes, her name
is Durham, and I'm going to ask her
right out If she'll have me-"
why, Moses Frazer!" exclaimed
the woman as she threw up her hands
In pretended astonishment- You
can't be speaking to me! You can't
mean what you say!"
Every last word Of It! I'm here
after your heart and hand!"
MY stars! But this is no way to
court woman!"
I'm allow It's little sudden. but
then we amt young folks who have
got to spoon around. l thought I'd
tell you how felt, and then give you
a week to make up your mind"
Widow Durham neither encouraged
nor discouraged. Moses let 1t 60 at
that. He was back in week. The
widow kept him talking about hogs
and pumpkins. and buckwheat as long
as she could, and then said:
Moses, perhaps it's my duty to
marry you"
Il know 1t Is
But If do I'm going to have my
way about certain things"
You shall, widow"
I'VE must be married in balloon.

something different from just calling
In the minister"
But how am going to fix for
balloon?" he asked.
II don't know. but that's what you'll
have to do. No balloon. no marriage"
Moses went riding through ali the
villages for twenty miles around ask
Ing questions about balloons. and It
was two weeks before he returned to
the widow to say:
I'm willing to obieege. but we can't
get no balloon here short OF thou
