Absent-minded persons sorely try
the patience of girls in the New

ago woman confessed herself sub.
ject to extreme forgetfulness and re.
quested the day operator on her ex.
change to ring her up every morning
at 9 o'clock. A week later she said:
:. Central, what was it wanted you
to call me for at 9 o'clock?"
I. II don't know" said the girl. "You
didn't tell me. You just asked me to
call at 9 o'clock"
"Too bad" said the woman. II

to do every morning at o'clock. but

1t was"

again.

FIGHT WITH HORSE THIEVES.
Two Outlaws Attempt to Steal
Nine Equines at ArgusviIie.

Argusville, Aug. 21-When two
horse thieves attempted to rus
tie" nine horses at the Monsoon
farm, four miles from this city,
at an early hour this morning,
they were observed by G. Gratias,
an employee on the farm, who
quickly gave the alarm. The
horse thieves, in the meantime,
had slipped from the steeds and
commenced firing with their re-
vilvers. The fire was returned
by the farm hands, who were
armed with shotguns and rifles,
and until the men disappeared
around the barn there was a
general bombardment. A story
that one of the men was shot and
was carried off in the darkness
by his companion has not been
confirmed.
The fellows had punched" nine
horses and were about to make
their getaway with the loot when
discovered.

Rousseau,s Etiquette of Love.

Before Rousseau, love was highly
refined form of social intercourse, a
species of gallantry conducted with
self-restraint, and all the formalities of
special etiquette; any extravagancy,
whether in feeling, in speech, or in
action, was banished. But when Saint.
Preux, oppressed by, his high-strung
passions, came to the rock at Meilliere
to pour forth in solitude the food of
his sentimental tears, all the witty re.
finements of eighteenth century gal
lantry, for good or for evil, were final.
~ swept away; extravagancy was free
to lay down the law in love. 1t was
Rousseau who enabled Mirabeau, in
his first letter to Julie Danvers (whom
he had never SEEM, to declare, II, also,
am lover, have emptied the cup of
sensibility to the dregs, and could
give thousand lives for what l love-"
It was Rousseau who laid down new
etiquette Of love which every petty
poet and novelist still adheres to-
