sure to have her join me in q hearty
laugh at poor Bifkins' expense.
I made my way to the Goldrox man
sion and, being admitted. waited in the
parlor several minutes for Helen to
come down. Having TO wait was un-
Q~uestionably a good sign. thought L
When she did come down she didn't
act Just as I'd hoped she would-that
is, she didn't come nesting into my
arms or anything Of hat sort But
then, thought 1, Helen always was a
sensible sort of girl and wasn't very
apt to do that sort Of thing.
I confess / was slightly embarrassed
for a moment, but recovering my self
command 1 softly whispered:
Helen, I've come in person 10 urge
what 1 asked in my letter of proposal
and honestly, sincerely trust that you
care sufficiently for me to trust your
future happiness in my hands"
Helen didn't speak for nearly a min
ute, when, sinking her voice, she said:
Believe me, Mr.. Hardup I am equal
ly sincerely sorry, and I should have
written you, only I didn't know how to
put 1t, but the very next day after your
ate, so fiattering. so-oh, so beauttfulr'
and her eyes lit upt-that though I
have always had a most friendly re-
gard for you, 1 could not resist-the
gentleman who wrote the other pro-
posal's passionate, beautiful pleading,
and I wrote him a letter accepting him
by the return mail. II hope I haven't
hurt you. and I'm awfully. awfuily sor-
~. but then there are any number Of
other really nice girls, and-and~- and
then no doubt fearing she might put
her foot in 1t, Helen said no more.
I sat half dazed for a moment, and
then I summoned up enough courage
to murmur, May I ask the gentieman's
name?"
Eyes" she answered timidiy; TITS
Mr.. Bifkins."
I was almost tempted to burst out
laughing. 1 thought 1t must be a joke.
But instead ! merely murmured, And
do you care so much for himr'
"well candidly," she replied. IT
hadn't thought much about him before
before 1 received his proposal, but
when 1 read that, so fiery, 30 kind, so
full Of burning admiration. my eyes
seemed to open and read my heart
Alright, and in the-the-enthusiasm
and fervor Of the moment I sent him

After that I didn't stay to hear much

Of Interest to the Children
GAME OF CELEBRITIES.
Played With Pictures Of Noted People
Cut From Books and Papers

t6y@6 y
Cut From Books and Papers
Gut put from magazines or newspa-
pers the pictures of noted people and
then cut on their heads. That sounds
rather savage. but as you are to supply
them with new heads It isn't as unkind
as 1t seems. Cut the figures out in out
lines and paste them on uniform pieces
Of cardboard and then take all the
heads and paste them on to other bod
les.
Sometimes the effect is startling. and
the strange thing is that 1t is extreme
ly hard to recognize a head when 1t has
somebody else's body. To play the
game number each piece of cardboard
and write down on a paper who the
person Is to whom the head belongs.
OF curse the players must not see
this paper. but must be given the
pieces OF cardboard to look over. After
they have guessed as many as they can
and written down the names on papers
read them the correct list. OF course
the winner Is the n who made the
best guesses.

SHOPPING IN PERSIA.
Only Servants and Women Of Poorer
Class Go to Stores.

Only Servants and Women Of Poorer
Class Go to Stores.
Americans who travel In the far
east exciaim with wonder over the
strange sights seen in the streets Of
oriental cities. "How odd" they cry,
how extraordinary They almost
never realize that American streets
are full of sights quite as strange,
very ~perplexing, sometimes shocking.
when first seen by the eyes Of a man
or woman of the orient.
"Shall / confess that one of the
amazing things observed by an east
ern traveller in any large American
town is the way in which women,
great numbers Of women of all ages,
throng the sidewalks Of business
streets and crowd the retail shopsr'
asks a writer In McCall's Magazine.
"To a Persian at least the sight Is as
novel as a regiment of ONE sol
diers would be drilling on a military
parade ground.
an my home country, Persia, there
are indeed servants and very poor wo-
men who go personally to the bazaars
and shops to buy food supplies and
clothing. but they are not the women
who have what we may call position
In society any more than nave the wo-
men who Scrub the floors of American
Office buildings and railway stations.
THE wife or daughter of any re-
spectacle Persian man would no more
think Of visiting a grocer's shop or the
shop Of a butcher than a well bred
American woman would think of
pushing open the doors of a drinking
shop-what you call a cafe-and order
ing u gallon of rum.
THE public market is not consider
ed a suitable place for a lady. The
man Of the family does most of the
buying Of meats and grains, sugar.
vegetables and fruit. If a woman is
widowed there Is always some friend
ly neighbor willing to transact such
business for her.
"The neighbours wife visits the wild
ow and asks what Is needed. The
marketing is done in her behalf, and
she is not obliged to come down to the
level of a poor servant sen IN humil-
iating errands."

CHOLMONDY BIFKINS.
: When I had completed debating this
ludicrous gushing epistle l could hardly
refrain from laughing aloud and nat
urally thought how different it was
from the nice, sensible one 1 had dis
patched to Miss Helen Goldrox that
afternoon, wherein / had politely add
ed that I would call for my answer In
a couple of days-on the following SUM-
day, in fact, Easter Sunday.
Bifkins looked the whole thing over
and, looking at me obviously, asked:
Say, old fellow, do you think this is
all right? Isn't it just-er-just a tride
-er-strong?"
1t was all I could do to keep from
laughing right at him, poor chap, but I
restrained myself and said in an in
jured tone:
"That's the usual thanks a fellow
gets for helping a friend outr'
"Oh, say, old chap, 1 didn't mean
that" he said, apologizing ~profusely.

1t was a great lark, I thought, as I
strolled home afterward, and when

A Bear Story.

The Bolton (Mo.) Herald tells this
bear story, which 1t says 1t got from a
"grizzled galoot from Grandview."
One Wilborn Walters. a mighty hunter
of Virginia, was chased up a tree one
day by a bear. In pulling himself up
he laid hold of a rotten limb, which
broke, and he fell on the back of the
bear. Twisting his hands in its fur, he
rode for a mile before he could reach
his hunting knife and kill the beast.

EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.

President Taft yesterday sent to
Congress his second message of the
present year on economy and eficien-
cy in the government service. He
recommends the passage of legislation
designed to save more than 81. 900 900
annually to the people of the United
states. Probably his two most strik-
ing proposals are that the local gov
eminent Offices in the treasury, post
Office justice, interior and commerce
and labor departments, be placed in
the classified service and that the rev.
enue cutter service he consolidated
with the lighthouse service in the de-
partment of commerce and labor

money without loss Of efficiency. Hes

STRANGE sepFsLLows.

The Republicans of North Dakota
have been brought face 10 face with a
rather unusual political situation as a
result of the recent presidential pref

discovered that Porter j. McCum5er.
United States senator from North Da-
kota, received the partys Endorsement
for vice president. although his name
was not on the ballot His total vote
for the nomination was about 1000 In
the entire state.
This Endorsement leaves the repub-
lican delegation from the state in "a
very peculiar position. Under the
strict Interpretation of the presidcn-
tial preference primary law. the dele
cation. which prides itself on it's pro-
Rressiveism. is pledged TO support a
thorough stalwart for no less position
than the vice presidency, at the same
time supporting progressive for the
first place.

SCHOOL SPIRIT.

That healthy outburst of pent-up
high school enthusiasm manifested in
Calumet last evening is commendable.
1t was evidence of the pride those
eight hundred students Of the Calu-
met high school take i'm their school
and I'm the scholarly attainment of
their fellow student So long as such
spirit prevails. the school is not like
H. to lose it's influence upon the young
men ana women who must soon take
up the greater responsibilities. An
the fact that the demonstration had
its incentive i'm the friendly rivalry
between the copper country schools
for oratorical honors. proves that the
students have as keen appreciation OF
class room conquests as those Of the
athletic field.
Congratulations are due Ernest
Warne Of Calumet for his clean cut
victory over such worthy competitors
as Horace Cross of Houghton. Fred
Cox of Painesdale and Irving Toplon
of Lake Linden. All of the young men
handled their subjects i'm a manner
which reelected credit upon themselves
and their instructors and there was
little 10 choose between them. With
