gentleman whose intentions are

messenger within the hour in which
she expected him. He is in honor

another appointment to be made, as

comings as you will, the fact remains
the same. The thought of seeing her
soon again never gives him one extra
heart beat or joyous thrill of expec-

an observing aunt. Outsiders require
one among them to toe the mark; so
why should he give us the cold Shout

to be disappointed, and laugh to think

the nonplused girl. The gravest error
which a young woman can commit
against good judgment and her best

on forgiving a man of such doings,

MEN WHO BREAK THEIR WORD.

Above my rest will blossom just as blue,
Or, miss my tears, cen Natures self
forgets.
But while I live be true.
The man who thinks 1t no harm to
break engagements and keep people
waiting on the anxious seat in vain
for his appearance is not to be trusted.
Where is the prudent girl who would
ever think 1t worth while to place con-
fidence in that sort of a man again?
If a man has the least interest in a
young woman, who regards him as a
pleasant acquaintance, and she invites
him to call upon some particular eve
ming when he has told her he was to
be at leisure, if he respects his word
he will take good care not to forfeit
his welcome and esteem by breaking
his word when he said, Thanks,
will come"
There is no surer, more certain test
of a mans true regard for her. You
may set it down as an infallible sign
that the man who repeatedly breaks
his word is not in love unless he has

called to dog heaven. The dog died
in an hour after being forced to lis

just purchased the machine and was

After getting loose the collie raced
through the house, chewing its paws.
Thinking that the dog had gone mad,
Miss DERRICK sent for a veterinarian,
who announced that the dog, which
was a high-strung animal, had died

Oldest Chess Problem.

The oldest chess problem ON record
is thought to be that contained in an
ancient Persian manuscript attributed
to Caliph kalifen Mutasin Billah, who
reigned in Bagdad A.. D. S33 to S42
But the reader would have to learn the
old rules before it was ineligible. For
example, the queen could make move
of only one square at time and that
on diagonal. but queen promoted
from pawn was allowed to make a
move of two squares diagonally. The
bishop had no power over any square
except the third from which it stood
on its own diagonal line. but it was
allowed to vault over any piece that
happened to be between. In short. it
was totally different game. Chess in
the precise form in which we know It
and play it today is a comparatively
modern game-London Strand Maya
