The man who handles the local
department Of news paper learns
after due experience not to expect
even briefly expressed thanks from
a column Of pleasant things, but he
knoweth as surely as cometh the
winter that single line In which
there is an unintentional representa-:
ton will cause some one to be heard
from ,o as II from q house top. And we
may add that when. he has made
pleasant mention 999 times Of some
person, place or thing but On the
:thousandth time fails to do SO, he
must. not expect to be forgotten. The
omission may have been from acct
dent, inadvertance .or even an entire
lack of knowledge It matters not.
The simple fact remains and emust

; The news spread that Ned Worthing-
ton: the only young man who had ever
visited the deserted (by the male SEX
village of Sommerville was destined to
be q disappointment to all the girls,
each and every one Of whom had look
ED forward to the possibility of catch
ing him. The young ladies' declared
that for Mrs. Watrous' sake they would
treat him with civility. Since there
was no exact definition to the word
civil this was unfortunate, because
what might mean civil to one might
be equivalent to attention or even
more than attention to another. How
ever, It was generally understood that
ESQ far as the gentleman himself was
concerned he was to he made to under

s The only trouble with this DISPOSE

appear to be conscious that he was ia

under his feet smoking. And 1t must
be confessed that to the girls who
passed he looked very handsome Be

tempered By Inconsistencies Of it, and
Incidence that Is liable to be especially
attractive in a man to women. &. .
It was noticed by the girls that after
