TALKING IN HIS SLEEP.

Mrs. Hadley had an uncomfortable
habit Of smelling and hearing things
at hours when the ordinary mortal
is enjoying peaceful slumber; so
when she prodded her husband in the
ribs one night not long ago, telling
him that she smelled gas in the house.
he suspected that 1t was the same old
story and refused to come out of his
dreams.
Finally. Mrs. Hadley crept silently
downstairs herself to investigate. Re-
turning greatly excited, she shook
Mr. Hadley vigorously
"W-what is the matter. Jane?" he
asked drowsily.
"Will. there's leak In the gas-pipe

Boston women. piqued BY the canny
caution of Boston bachelors, have
asked the Massa-
Boston Mysteries chusetts legisia-
ture to enact a
Law fixing two years as the legal limit
os a courtship and taxing each bache-
lor IS year to be used in aid OF
worthy spinsters who are believed to
have passed the marriageahle age
This extraordinary news gives rise to
numerous fascinating speculations in
Cur untutored Western mind, COM
ments the ST. Louis Pos; Despatch in
the following:
Why should Boston's lovely spin
sters wish TO marry towards or ro-
mantle recreants-e1cept. OF course.
as last resort
When does Boston spinster pass
the marriaseabie age,
What is worthy spinster-how
defined7
Is a noteworthy spinsters's need.
and natural right to. a husband. less
than that of a worthy spinster? or
are the unworthy spinsters deemed
able. as we suspect, TO provide for
themselves without State aid,
Why cannot Boston's spinsters, like
those OF the West: set limits to a
courtship without calling upon the
legislature for help.
Why do not Boston's spinsters-if
their case be so desperate-ask the
state to declare an open season on
bachelors?
In what way was the fact estab-
lished that the Boston bachelor will
surrender his freedom rather than pay
a tax of IS a year? Is freedom now
Of SO little worth in its historic
cradle?
Would the state use the proceeds OF
the bachelor tax to send Boston's wor-
ty spinsters out West. the land Of
short and ardent courtships. or would
it use the fund to bring big game
Westerners to Boston?
Have the Boston spinsters not ne
elected the law Of the attraction OF
opposites, and held themselves
haughtily aloof and above the gallant
youths from Ireland, Italy. Roumania
/ and other foreign parts who now
with their vivid coloring and theil
high ambitions. make Boston pom,

hearts of these keen young adventur'
ers, is waiting that rapturous welcom,
and mating which Boston's daughters
! gazing sadly on Boston's chill blood
ed and too timorous native sons sigh
for in vain.
