Months ago he. told friends no one .eIse would get me. have had hopes of his proposing to me. but he hasn't yet. He showed signs of 1ov- ing me; always enjoys himself when he comes over. He has never taken me out, but comes as often as possi-s ble. I'm quite positive he has no other girl that keeps him from my com pany. He is a real good man. as gpod as can be found, and also has a good position. He is thirty years old. Please advise me what to- do I'm sure he loves me, but something seems to keep him back.
 A man of that age who comes a-wooing should know his own mind after taking up your valuable time so long. Nothing could keep him back if he cared for you as he should Fas is time he proposed or quit his pisste. giving some other suitor a chance.

The Story of How Little Girl And a Red Bird Comfort
 ed An Old Lady.
By David M. Cory.

I 9vaa little house at the end of the 3Iane, with it's front porch sheltered Iby the clinging vine. made a pretty 1 home for the dear old lady who lived there, waiting with never failing hope l for the return of her boy who hac gone to far away land many years ago.
 often she was very sad, even in the spring time when the flowers in the garden nodded to her in such friend 1y way.
 If it hadn't been for the little girl who called her '.Grandnaa she would indeed have been onely-
 "fIow are you this .evening, ssGrandma ?" cried the little girl run ming in through the fronJ door. ssY ou shonIdn,t sit in the dark without any light il, s so lonesome!' and in a. mo-l n1ent she was in Grandnass lap, tell ing her all the pleasant things that had haI bened at school.
 "Guess who it was, Grandmaa who made me come here this evening? It was Red Bird. He was on the ap- pIe-tree and whist1ed at me as came from school When I looked up at him, he nodded his head towards your house and whistled something that sounded just like Viewer des- pair! never despair!" Then he bob bed his little head at me once more and winked his eye!''
 ssNok, my dears you know he didn't wink his eyel'
 Indeed, Grandma, Pm sure he .w1nked his eye 2Anyhow, it looked just so to me. Then he spread his wings and off he went.--Svhe eTv-yE- 2 sfWhat did you say he saids dear gs'
 sGrandma, he said,. Never despair!i never despairl' ''
 So my little girl thought she'd come and tell Grandma? Wen. that was very sweet in Red Bird, and sweeter in my little puss; for Grandma was just in need of that very word.
 All through the long winter Red Bird staid. for the little girl came every day and threw crumbs about that he never went hungry.
 One morning in May he was whist ling louder and clearer than usual in the old appIeltFee just in rront of the a porch. The little girl hastened to lead her Grandm motherfby the hand. Never despair! never despair! Could he sayiit any. plainer if he could talk? And the sweet young face looked up lovingly at the old one
 Are you sure that s what he says ? Grandmother's getting deaf; it only sounds to. her like twheat-e-e q wheat
 Why. only listen. Grandmai Oh. I'm so sorry you can't .hear!,, M
 Well. darling you must talk with l the birds and tell your old deaf Grand ma what they say. Never despair! never despair Can it really be say ing that, I wonder 2,
 At that moment, the front gate opened and a man came hurriedly up the walk
 Is 1t William IS it my William ?'' queried the dear old lady in utter be as she felt two strong arms around her.
 s'Yes, yes, Mother, it isl" answered a voice broken with jsobs.
 Red Bird was right, wasn't he, 1 GraT1dna 9. asked the little girl.
 Yes, he was,'' replied Grandma, | sniIin Rthrough her happy tears, .tRed Bird was right!''

Parents Firbid Corresponding

Dear Miss Libbey:
 seventeen We have corresponded for some time Both parents object wrote letter to his office. The mailman told his father, of his re- ceivfng mail from 9 young lady his office He told me that he will have to cut off corresponding. What shall I do? I love him so. How can I get to see him if both parents object? B. H.
 You are both too young and your parents, wishes should be regarded when the youth comes out and tells you to cease corresponding Time enough to love later on. An office is not the right place to send love letters His time there is for busf- ness only.

I & -A=
 Many a wen-neaning young man ] wears out his welcome with the girls
 by failing to keep his appointments on the evenings they are expecting
 him to call He thinks any old excuse soon wakes up to the fact that girls
 might be fooled once or twice, but
 after that they sum him up for just
 what he is-a free lance, to whom
 one girl is quite as attractive as am
 other.
 He soon finds that these girls to
 whom he comes with patched-up
 analogy are not home. Of course this
 state of a9TaLrs brings him to a realiz-
 alton of his fault, but it is too late to mend matters.
 Most men hold the keys to their own popularity It is for them to use It wisely or to abuse the privilege. When he knows he is at fault, instead of saying, What Is the user" he should write note, frankly adknowI- edging his error and humbly sue for pardon.
 Where he would find one girl re- sentful and unwilling to be friends with him, he would come across many others who would be willing to meet the situation half way and give him another chance. The young man may not be much at fault after all. One or two visits may have suff1ced to show him that the girl has taken too much of fancy to him; fact which he deems wisest and best to discour- age. Again, he may infer that he may be led on merely to piqne some lover who is off the track and to show him that there are plenty Of other beaux she can get. In case of this kind a. man is certainly Justified in absenting himself on reasonable grounds.
 Even the most hckle of men do not relish playing second dddIe-s He may be too honest to lead a girl on to hope when he knows that there Is every chance against his being able to sup port q wife, especially if the girl is limiting about many of her friends on short acquaintance4 No man likes to have girl force the sit uation in that natter It is not. to be wondered that man is sometimes frightened away when he has just be- gnn to take an interest in the young lady. There has been no time for his : esteem for her to grow in a warmer sentimeKlt. He Knows that on one or i two. calls she could not have devel- 1 oped a sincere. deep liking for him.
 Then. again, there. are girls who do l not hold a mans interest very long. 1 They talk upon frivolous subjects, or l get up learned discourses that take l too much brain work to follow. A l man who has listened to subjects of these kinds which do not interest him l

in the least takes his hat and his de- parture as soon as he can find a l1n in the conversation. Tn small towns, a young man soon runs through the list or places to visit If he is not in love with any girl, he takes the situa- ton in good part, and thanks his stars that there is not a home which he is obliged to visit.

When the Republican assembly
designated Mr.. Smith as candi-

tainly showed considerable wis

In Mr.. Smith the people of
Colorado have a man for whom
it should be pleasure to vote.
He is a man.
Mr.. Smith lives in Idaho
Springs; was district attorney of
that section for five years; was a
delegate from the state of Texas
to the Republican National con-
vention which nominated VIM.
Mckinley at St. Louis, has been
a Republican all his life but is a
man who works for the good of

Mr.. Smith was a Holly visitor
several weeks ago and all who
had the pleasure of meeting him
are now his staunch supporters.
