FIRST LEAP YEAR PROPOSAL.

A story something like the follow
ing is being told of certain Cygnet
couple. The young man, whose
name we will not mention, started
to keep company with the young lady
in question about four years ago and
ever since has continued to call on
her and has at times "hinted" to
her that he really cared for her, but
never picked up enough nerve to do
the proposing stunt. Sunday night,
the 31st, for the first time the young
man was permitted to stay later
than 10 o'clock, for the young lady
had asked permission of her father
to stay up and watch the coming of
the New Year. And this is the story
the young fellow heard just as the
clock finished striking the midnight
hour: NOW, you sway-brained,
mush-hearted, fickle-minded, short
seeing, soft-headed, nerveless bit of
humanity, I've got you now. Ever
since last leap year l have listened to
your pooh and bosh hints of love
for me; I've eaten your cheap candy
and pretended to like it, and a.
often as l have invited you down to
dinner | 'doped' your coffee with
'Nervine,' but you never got up
enough nerve to ask me to be your
wife. It's leap year now and right
this minute we must have some sort
of an understanding"
The young man, bewildered, ask
ed: Gould you let me have another
cup of that coffee, please?'-Cygnet

When but 1S years of age her mother
died leaving the duties of housekeepeI

WHAT A MAN WILL DO.

Men are queer. Wouldn't there
be a roar when they went home to
their meals if they had to climb up
on high stool in front of a table
on which there was no cloth, and eat
their meals in that fashion? Yet the
majority of men, when they go to u
restaurant, will pick out the high
stool and the feed board with no
cloth on it in preference to a COM
Portable chair with cloth-covered
table. A man will borrow a chew
of tobacco and most of them will set
their teeth into the plug where some
other man has gnawed off a chew.
Offer him a piece of pie at home
from which his wife or one of the
children had taken bite and he
would holler his head off. At home
he will not drink out of glass from
which one of the family has been
drinking. Call him into the back
stall of a livery barn. pull out bot
tie and he will stick the neck Of the
bottle half way down his throat In
order to get swig, after half doz-
en- fellows have had the neck of the
bottle in their mouths. Truly man
is q queer duck.--Exchange.

The Goose Girl, the dramatized
version of the popular novel by Har-
old MacGrath, which is to be the
current attraction at the Lyceum
Theatre, Toledo, starting with b
souvenir matinee on Thursday, Janu-
ary 25th., is far more pleasing and
attractive play tan is usually pre-
sented at popular priced theatres.
To those that have read and en-
joyed the novel, it is all the more
interesting as a play. None of the
heroics are lost, none of it's romance
curtailed and little of the higher
qualities missing.
From a dramatic standpoint, TIE
Goose Girl easily ranks with the BEST
offerings placed before theatre goers.
The play is consistently written ana
revels in thrilling dramatic scenes
and situations, which are not con-
fined to one or two particular acts,
but which are spread throughout the
entire action of the play.
