Literary Betrothal.

Inscriptions in complimentary copies
Of learned works do not always serve
the graceful purpose to which one
was dedicated by the celebrated Pro-
fessor Wilson of Edinburgh.
When the suitor for the hand OF
Professor Wilson's daughter had
gained the young woman's approba-
ton, she of course referred him to
her father. Having stated his case.
the young gentleman was asked to
bid the young lady to come to her
father. Her obedience was prompt.
Professor Wilson had before him
for review a ponderous volume, on
the fly-leaf of which was duly in
scribed, with the authors compli-
ments."
He tore this fly-leaf out, pinned it
to his daughters dress, solemnly led
her to the anxious lover-and went
back to his work-Youth's Compan-
ion.

Denyer.-By the insertion of an
emergency clause in any bill whicn
1t so pleases to treat, the Legislature
may find a way to prevent the refer
ring of measures passed by it TO the
people and in that regard thwart the
initiative and referendum.
First action Of this kind was taken
in the House of Representatives when
the good roads commissioner bill was
passed in that body on third and final
reading including the following clause.
which Is section 13:
"It is hereby declared that this act
Is necessary for the immediate pres
ervation Of public safety"
Speaker o. c. Skinner contends that
the clause will prevent a referendum
on the bill that might be sought by en-

 "The new year has brought to the express company competitor worthy of it's mettle--the new parcel post. It becomes com petitor not only of the company, but of every man in the service hence, the newcomer, as an inn pOrtant factor in small transpor- tation, neither is to be belittled nor overestimated, but calls most for renewed efforts on the part of WeHs Fargo men to main tain the company's standard of service as the basis of public fa- vor and patronage"
