HOW DID SHEPARD PROPOSE

OF sll the subjects upon which the
interviewers ask Finley ]. Shepard to
talk, that which interests them most is
the method by which he proposed TO
Miss Helen Gould, whom he is to marry.
Mr.. Shepard, the assistant TO the presi-
dent OF the various Gould railroads. has
recently travelled from ST. Louis to New
York. where his Office 10 in future to be
located. Naturally, in every city through
which be passed. the ubiquitous reporter
halted him to get his views. And no
matter what the preliminaries, the real
essential Of the interview was reached
when Mr.. Shepard was asked to tell the
public just how he proposed, whether he
attacked in full force with flags flying
and drums beating. or whether he pre-
sentsd himself humbly, his hat in one
hand, his heart IN the other, with a
wary eye upon the door in case hasty
exit seemed advisable.
Although Mr.. Shepard has been most
goodnAtured, rather enjoying. we sus-
psct, the notoriety be has been getting
we are still much in the dark as to how
he did IL. says the Salt Lake Herald. 1t
is rather cruel OF him. too, because a
great many young men would like to
know just how to suggest mstrimony to
q woman millionaire; for although many
impecunious soldiers Of fortune have mar
ried heiresses, not much was thought Of
it, because, In most cases, they caught
them young. Miss Gould. however, Is
woman Of mature years whom it would
be difficult to deceive. Her long period
OF spinsterhood has taught her an ap-
probation Of masculine values and she
must have had many proposals. Des
pite the increasing unwillingness OF men
to assume marital responsibilities. no
wealthy woman need be without hus-
band.
Mr.. Shepard may as we'll conclude to
tell his story, for the bright youths who
accumulate comfortable fortunes writing
news will have it out Of him. The in
formation he possesses, and the valuable
experience through which he has just
passed, are too vital to be withheld.

declared. will give almost as much o.
