Who do you thinks engaged to be
married, Belle? Sadie Williams-the
baby-faced blond that drops more rib
bons than she sells over at Kroop-
mans.
And it just goes to show, Belle.
Sadie's one of those kind of girls with
the dreamy look that won't come off,
and the Laura Jean Libby habit. She
used to swear she'd never marry un-
less she bumped into a reg'lar built-to-
order hero that knew how to propose
like the fourth page from the back
cover.
And d'you know who's goin' to slip
the gold detainer on her fat finger and
agree to be loved, honored and obeyed?
A man called Ratsbauer or somepin'-
the homeliest little runt of floor
walker that ever sent a customer to
the eighth floor when she wanted to
go to the basement.
And did he pop the question like
paper-bound Laura Jean Libby? He
did not: Sadie cried when she told me
about 1t last night, and asked me If

Rumors of Evacuation
OF Sumter Prevalent

Rumors are again prevalent that Fort
Sumter is to be evacuated, and a dis
patch from Washington has heighten-
ed these reports. The dispatch relates
that all rumors that the president has
determined not to evacuate Fort Sum-
ter are put out for political effect. 1t
Is positively certain that II will be
abandoned speedily, the report says.
There may be an extra session of
congress called. The crisis which is
now agitating the country demands
all the attention OF all branches of the
government. President Lincoln Is now
considering the matter.
Dispatches from the south continue
to tell of southern rights meetings all
through that section. A large and en-
thusiastic meeting held at the court
house at Goldsboro, n. c., yesterday is
typical of them all. The crowd was
addressed by a number of public men
and all the speakers were opposed to
all terms of compromise and were for
immediate secession.

Whereupon. the editor of the local

i'm. I told her she wouldn't know
how to spurn a one-legged widower
with false teeth and nine children.
How do you think he did it, Belle?
He met her In the elevator, asked her
If she could cook, said he was glad to
hear she couldn't, because he'd never
marry a woman that thought she
knew how TO cook. and then wanted to
know how she liked the name O. Rats
bauer.
But, to tell the truth. Belle, 1
wouldn't trust a man that proposed
on his bended knees and ratified off a
spring poem in prose. 1t may sound
like a slice O. heaven, Belle, but It
amt natural; so 1t can't be sincere.
It's the suffering proposcr that
really loves you. Belle. He thinks so
much of you that he don't know
which end to begin at when he tries to
tell you all about IL. So he begins at
the middle, works toward both ends,
and If it's as painful as it sounds, he
ought to be put out Of his misery. And
it's up to the girl to put him out of 1t.

DAILY SHORTEST STORY
Mora the Nifty

"Be miner
BE mine!"
Two elderly men, no longer young,
but showing indubitable signs of hav-
ing been in bygone years, stretched
out supplicating arms to the imperi-
Gus beauty.
She eyed them coldly, impartially,
yet gave no sign that she would be
either's. She was a singularly young
woman, for one of thirty, and it SEEM
ed a pity that a creature so glorious
should apparently be about to sacri-
fee herself for a life of ease and
luxury.
"A carriage and pair shall be ever
at your disposal" begged one aged
admirer. Your goings and comings
shall be unquestioned, and you will
have but to ask to receive"
Il will buy you an aeroplane," be-
seeched the other, and were you to
break your neck in 1t not a word of
censure shall follow"
Again. or rather still, she eyed
them. Then she spoke, evenly, chill
ingly: 81
go home" she said, and tell your
wives that Nora Rafferty, will cook
for nayther of yez."

, you are terribly in doubt.

NTOU are terribly IN doubt.
First, you refused one sweet
heart because you wanted a
career. Then, after you had found
that the metropolitan stage was not
, hungering for the display of your
genius, you discovered-that you
loved the man.
But he, being a self-respecting
individual, waited. Lately he has
grown the second crop Of folly and
shows decided symptoms of a re-
lapse into his old love for you. You
were just enjoying the rewinning
and there Is no triumph that so
fully corroborates girls high esti-
mate OF her charms-when another
man fell in love with you.
Now, you do not know which one
you love-
Why not be honest with yourself,
at least? 1t is not a question of your
love for them. It's wholly and sole
" a question Of your love for your
self. Now, as you did when you
took the career instead of the first
man, you are thinking Of your own
self-gratification.
1t is usually a perfectly safe
method, in case of doubt, to marry
the man who loves you most. With
you the method is absolutely i'm
perative. 1t will take an enormous
cargo of love to carry a man safely
through the matrimonial sea with
you.
For, you see, you will find out,
just as you did about the career,
that marriage Is not all smooth sail

SAYS HAWAII
NEEDS CHINESE

Oregon Journal: After an absence
of seven weeks from Portland, e, L..
Thompson and family returned Fri
day night. Mr. Thompson left the
latter part of January for the Hawai-
ian Islands and spent something like
five weeks in Honolulu and in cruising
around the different islands of the
group. He made a study of the labor,
social and commercial situation of
the islands and was very much in
terested in the labor problem as 1t
affects the sugar planters. He says
| that Honolulu is an exceedingly pros
rerous city, that money is plentiful
and that the merchants are all making
money, but that it is no place for a
| poor man.
81 was more interested in the labor
situation than in anything else" said
Mr.. Thompson this morning. The
greatest need just now in the Hawai-
ian Islands is the introduction of more
Chinese laborers. At present the Jap
anese are doing the greater part of
the mental labor of the islands but the
! great sugarplanters and the American
residents are not altogether satisfied
spire them with confidence. They are
mysterious and secretive and are or
ganized to a man. The Chinaman is
| considered by the sugar planters a
more faithful and a more willing la
borer. Then, too, Chinese make their
! homes N the islands, while the Japa-
nese is there for what money he can
make, all of which finds it's way back
! to Japan"
Mr. Thompson says that the Amer
leans in Hawaii have not been able to
ascertain for a positive fact, that the
Japanese have imported arms into the
islands, but that it is very generally
suspected such is the case.
1T is known" said he, that the
Japs, in the islands, are splendidly or
ganized and have capable leaders and
many believe this organization and
leadership has to do with possible war
between United States and Japan"
Mr.. Thompson says the cholera sit.
uation was well in hand when he left
Honolulu two weeks ago. There had
been 16 cases reported and IA deaths,
but for several days before he left no
new cases had been reported and the
authorities were confident they had
the disease stamped out.
1--WE found it pretty hot down in the
islands" continued Mr.. Thompson, 'in
fact l was forced to discard all the
summer clothing had taken with me
and array myself in a white duck suit,
white canvas shoes and white duck
hat. l think l perspired more in the
five weeks l was in the islands than
in the past 20 years all put together
At that, there is no suffering there
from the heat. The hottest day we
had the thermometer only reached 81
degrees while the average was be
tween 20 and so degrees"
