Held HER HAND.

She asked me to. SO of course
simply had to hold her hand.
The thing required no show Of force.
Because I really had the sand.
I'd always thought. I'd always heard
To hold q hand like hers would be
The finest job that e'er occurred;
A dream of bliss and ecstacy.
I had expected to be thrilled.
This did not prove to be the case.
With fond anticipations chilled,
I found It very commonplace.
No romance stirred within my heart
When ! did feel her hand In mine:
No wish to change my bachelors part:
No o described as superflne.
The pleasure In the thing was small.
To tell the truth I feel compelled.
You zee. she was O there at ali.
1t was her hand at bridge I held.

THE EDITORS CHANCE.

THE EDITORS CHANCE.
The editor sat in his office chair.
Rubbing his pate all devoid of hair.
Reading his paper with ~listless air.
Scanning a want ad appearing there.
A van ad that read like this:
"'Wanted-A man who will all day.
And work all night at q small boys

One who is tranquil amid the fray.
Patient n humble in every way
When anything goes amiss.
Must have a broad and a learned
mind.
Must bear the troubles of all mankind.
Must smile n like 1t when he's
maligned.
Must spend his life in a c~easeless grind
And then be laid in the shelf"
The editor said: THAT looks good {

Compared to my job. it's a snap. said
Right here is a chance to be glad and
free"
And he sighed as he turned the sane
forum key:

Mrs. Alice Stebbins Wells of Los An

Wells into the rank and file. Small and

manner and a decidedly pretty little wo-
man in appearance, Mrs. Wells has a
quick untiring energy and determine
ton to accomplish all she has set out to
do . She wears no police helmet, carries
no club or revolver, but, dressed in or

The western man and the eastern man

village where as boys they had attended
the same little red school house.
All about them industry was rampant;
here work and coal and coke have been

Riding In a blackboard, they saw some

An Important Problem

Washington, February At the Mex

the United States will be bound by prece-
dent to recognize them as in control OF
the custom house there.
Juarez is an important customs station,
for the treasury department, and In view
of the impending attack upon the town
United States customs officers there have
been appealing to Washington for in
structions.
Secretary MacVeagh today took the
question up personally. 1t Is said there
are several presidents in the information

would practically compel the customs au-
thorities to recognize certificates and pa
pers of the revolutionists, as far as Gus
