Advice To the LOveIOrn
BY Beatrice Fairfax.
ASK THE GIRL.


Dear Miss Fairfax:
I went with girl up until about
eight months ago, when by some mis-
understanding her mother had her to
tell me I must discontinue my calls. I
kept company with her for nearly two
years, and 1 believe the girl loved me.
I loved her very dearly and it was hard
to give her up. but she told me if I
would be true and loved her, when she
became of age we would renew our
cOurtship, although she goes with other
boys, but I believe she still loves me I
love her and would like to win her. She
will be IS in few months and then is
when she said we would start our
courtship again. Do you think 1 should
call on her or wait for an invitation
Anxious Jack.
Ask her what she thinks about it
now. If she is worth winning, she is
worth going after. Don't stand back
and wait for her to make the advances.
She may have changed her mind since
she told you she would keep her heart
free for you. At least, you should ask
her; it is not her affair to ask you,

Gen. Bazaine's army was dining on
horse meat and in another month he
had surrendered
After this Gen. Bazaine's reputation
went gradually under cloud. It was
held that if he had spent less time
hunting strong positions with the
passionate eagerness Of a man retiring
from a grizzly bear, France never
would have been hUmbled, and in 1873
he was tried for treason. He was SEN
fenced to be shot, but was imprisoned
instead and was allowed TO escape to
Spain, where he lived until 1855 and
wrote several books. which contributed
materially to the gaiety of French pOli-
