DON'T ACCEPT IT.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l have been going steadily with
young man for the past two
years. but do not expect TO marry
him for at least two years more.
| am in very poor circumstances
Just now-in fact | am the only
one working for a family of five,
and find it hard work to get along
The young man ! am going with
knows this. and very often wants
TO help me out as he could very
easily do. However. I can not
seem to accept any money from
him. He is a perfect gentleman,
and ! am sure l would never have
any cause TO regret taking the
money. NJ. F.
Don't accept any money from him
Do your best every day, and l am sure
your burden viii grow lighter.
After you are married It will be
proper for him to help your family, and
i hope he will continue to have the

How He Took It.

The said feature now took command of
his face as he rose and faced the girl

but since I'm so perfectly ridiculous-good
night!'
Her g1ggles died. and she jumped up as
he flung out of the room. David. David!
didn't mean to Offend
Then, as the door banged in her face,
she gasped, stared, then broke into a lit
tie laugh which yet expressed admiration.
MY, what a look! If he could live up
to that one might take him seriously"
Unconscious, however, that honors lay
with him, David flung down the street
toward the fate the banker had in kindly
preparation.
Pm spoiled he groaned-"a milksop,
to be laughed at, spurned by every
healthy woman. l won't stand it any
longer, I'll get out. Tll-Td sooner be a
tramp than a softly. I'll leave home"
And while he fretted and fumed. Mr..
Osgood was pursuing the even tenor of
his own argument in the widows par
lor. why, my dear lady," he was say
ing, at is a lazy dollar that will not
turn more than per cent. Invested with
us, your capital would double treble,
quntuple, in as many years. You would
be so wealthy that some of us who now
enjoy your friendship would feel diff

Very pretty at 20, at As the widow was

HCOME people think, SAID the CIT
izen who was waiting for the
train, that TO own property is
the greatest fun in the world. They
think that when you own property you
Just sit back and own it; but that's
mistake"
1.-THE trouble is that you never know
how long you're going to own It," sug-
gested the tired looking man.
That's the idea exactly" went on
the citizen. ct owned a COW once A
man gave her TO me for a debt. She
was a $3.50 COW. had never owned
anything in my life before, and owning
that cow was terrible responsibility.
There was a lot in connection with
the house we rented. and we put the
COW In the lot. asked my wife: DO we
go to bed and leave that $3.50 worth OF
COW out there all night?
Yes she said. No one will steal
her
What: Calmly lie down. and sleep
with $3.50 running around loose out
doors"
She said that was the only thing we
could do
Il went out and took one more look
at the COW. She was lying down and
seemed to be all right. But couldn't
see how I was going to sleep. Indeed,
l knew that I couldn't sleep. But had
an inspiration at last! A friend of
mine who lived half mile up the
street had an electric f1ashlight. All
you had to do was to press a button and
flash the light.
'I tramped over to my friends and
borrowed his fiashlight. He asked what
I wanted 1t for. but didn't tell him.
think he finally decided that I was
planning to rob somebody's hen roost.
Il tried my fashlight all the way
home. Now / said to my wife. we're
all right! 1 can go to the back window
and flash this light around the yard ut
any hour of the night and satisfy my
self that all is we'll with the COW.
How many times do you think OF
getting up to look?' asked my wife.
"'Oh. whenever I feel uneasy told
he.
NO sooner had | hit the bed than an
uneasy feeling came on me. I went to
the back window and flashed that light
on the COW. Uneasiness was working
me pretty hard that night. I was up
and down. and, OF course. ii sometimes
took me quite awhile TO locate the COW,
and so I threw the light on several
houses in the neighborhood and Gre
ated considerable alarm.
"a number of the neighbors thought
finally that it was burglars. I saw
houses all lighted up inside and fellows
out with lanterns searching for the
robbers. I nearly killed myself laugh
ing. until one or two fellows got so
alarmed that they fired couple Of
shots
That scared me. l knew that shoot

When q man has $3.50 worth of COW

Though Northielders spoke pridefully

OF medium height, his figure was slight

Very religious, his mother had tried to

Yet the print of her thumb showed in his

The good young man is not the man
for you, for the reason that you don't
