Reforming Him.
the Cleveland Plain Deale

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The girl of whom we are about to
speak was engaged to marry a young
man who for many years has been
busy earning a reputation as what is
variously described as "a rounder." "a
man about town" and "a prominent
clubman." That is to say, this lady was
going to take chance on very
sporty bachelor for better or worse.
Dear" she said to him chummily.
II know you like your nights out. I
know you drink a little-you must
teach me to mix cocktails. I know
YOU smoke-I can learn to roll cigar
cites. And 1 know you play cards a
lot-but you can teach me to play
cards
What a darling you are!' exclaimed
the man. II will teach you a game of
cards now, and then you'll know all
about 1t after we are married"
Fine. What game are you going to
teach me?'

Where Leaders Stand
rom the Manchester Guardian.

From The Manchester Guardian.
There is another Asictic idea as 20 the
right place of the commander in war
fare which is altogether different
from the frigid scientific japanese
principle. Sir Francis Younghusband
has told us that when the British ex-
pedition to Lhasa first met the armed
host of the Titetans and a fight was
provoked, with consequences disas-
trous to the primitive warriors, the
lamas protested against the wicked
ness of the British attack. The
Tibetans. they insisted, had never
meant resistance, and for proof they
pointed to the presence of the leaders
with the troops. If, they said, any
fighting had been intended all those in
authority would, of course, have moved
a days march to the rear.

THRONGS IN EVIDENCE

Center Market Show May Be Re
peated Owing to This
Years Success.

The Center Market food exposition
which had been in progress since Mon
day last, closed last night with one
of the largest crowds of the week pres
ent to enjoy the fine music and to in
spect the fruits, vegetables, meats and
other good things for the table that
were on exhibition. That the exposi-
tion has been both an artistic and
business success is the opinion of all
who have studied the big show from
day to day, and it is more than prob
able that the exposition will be an
annual event.

ceptions. are enthusiastical in favor
of repeating the show next year, but
