 Well, I doont sippose thare is, it's satisfactory, iszent it, sed ma.
 Satisfactory, satisfactory, yee gods and little angle werms, satisfactory, was evvir such a woman, if you cood4 of seen the fite I had with that finny mongster. if you cood realize that skill and snoIIege of sthe piscatorial art it required to land that scaley giant of the deep, you wood run and tell the naybers wat a, wondirfin hus- band you've got, sed pop. s<
 Perhaps, perhaps, sed ma.
 Jest hark at her, sed pop, her hus- band by eonsummack skill and pay shents, lands a fish worthy to be stuff fed and put in the parIer for the edi- fication of future generashins, and she sits thare like Ishka bibble avn a monument and ses it was satisfactory.
 Well, thas wat he asked me, sed ma.

 The fish deeler, sed ma, he called up about an hour ago and wunted to no if the fish he sold you last nite was satisfactory.

LondOners Are Learning
 Russian And Spanish

London, Oct 2e-~Classes in Rus sian, French and Spanish are prosper ing in London as never before. It is recognized that Germany's great gains in trade were due largely to the pains German clerks and business men@took to acquire foreign Ian guageS Special courses in the Slave tongue, including Polish and the Bal kan dialects are now established at Kings College, University of London. T. G. Masaryk, professor of p1ailoso- phy in the Czech, University of Pra- que and formerly a prominent politi- clan in the Austrian parliament, is the head of the school Instruction in the languages will be accompanied by lectures in Slavonic history and literature Spanish is rather the lat est to be taken up, just as Russian was the first after the outbreak of the war The Welsh people, on ac- count of being bi-nnguaL are the cleverest students in language, and the Scotch next according to the teachers

TODAY'S POEM
AN INDIAN SUMMER FANCY

Once more by glowing autumn Jed, With quivering lance and crested head The quairs clear fife, the partridge
 drum
 To herald them, once more they come, The sunset on each bronzed face, These phantoms of a vanished race. Ger flaming hill and drowsy dale They follow now the ancient trail Brown moccasin'd and, silent tread The forest glades rich carpeted, Or steal along each winding turn Where glided shaIleps crown the burn. Held high a1oft their glittering spear Disturbs no more the startled deer, Their brilliant trappings gaily strung From branch to branch, their blankets
 flung
 Der rock and wall and woven through The ivy's flame, the aster's blue. Eyenening and solitude and fading
 light, And bivouac fires along the height Where Still their crimson torches While in the sunsets mellow glare. Where Cares stretch'd her bounteous
 hand, A thousand gold tepees stand. Now from the corpse of the cricket
 sings
 Far up, a wild fowl, silent, wings kAdown the lanes of qu1vering fire, Across the summers funeral pyre To lands where summers never cease; 1; And leaves behind a fading trail Lost in the gathering, smoky veil Above their kindIing pipes of peace -J Warren Harper in Hartford Times

WHY BOYS NEVER
 COME BACK

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I am a young girl of IT, considered good looking and am very. lonely for a lover. I have went with many boys but after few times they never come back. Would you please give me ad- vice as to how to win one? I can't account for why it is so.
 D. C. It is quite easy to make yourself be-, neve that you have not proved attrac- tive to many boys More than likely they were convinced that you could win the best attention from some suit or g. little older and less changeabIe. Your prospect is better when boys do not come back

that Way.
WORKING BOYS AMBITION.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I a working boy and would like to save, for I make 20 or 25 cents ex- tra. As fast as I make it I spend it. Please advise me how to save it.
 F. G. M. Wof17eng boys are the salt of the earth if good and steady. Select com panfons who have as few bad habits as possible. Also seek the society of nice young girls. One girl will in troduce you to many. In the com pany of nice, sweet, modest girls young men find refuge from tempta- tion to squander hard-earned money or to go wrong. If you wrote the same Ikind. of a letter to the president of your railroad I am sure he would see that you were advanced, as you prove worthy.

OBEY YOUR PARENTS.
Dear Miss Libbey:-

Dear Miss Libbey;- F
 I am a young girl 16 years old, and a fellow 21 years old cares for me very much. I care the same for him. My parents don't want me to go with him as he is so much older than I. I hardly can quit one who appeals to me. Please advise me which to do, listen to my parents or the one love.
 Obey your parents. You are too young to wed. If the young man real ly loves you he will not object to wait ing at least two or three years longer for you.

IS YOUNG MAN TO TAKE
 HER WITHOUT CHAPERONE <?
Dear Miss Libbey:-

Dear Miss Lbbey:-
 Would you kindly advise me if it is proper for young girl to ask a young man to call at her home; also if it is proper for a young girl to go cn g. boat ride with a young man unchap- eroned? Is it a young girls place to ask a young man to escort her to a dance or any other place of amuse- ment?
 BE She may ask a young man to call with whom she is acquainted If boat ing with young man it is best to have a chaperone, if possible. Very seldom do young girls ask 8 young man to es- cort her to a dance or place of anuse- ment, if he is not a relative. Once in 8 great while, on extraordinary Occa- sions, he may find it favorable to es- cort her by their conversation drifting

TWO ROSEBUD MAIDENs.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 We are two school girls. just sweet Is. Have been away from home at school for the last two years, and have been keeping steady company for a year. A few nights ago they proposed. We would like to know if it would be right to accept them without the knowledge of our parents?
 R. M, H. B. Attend to your school duties for a while longer, little, dears, and do not keep company with young men without your parents consent. They must ask your parents about the con- templated marriage if prosperity is expected to attend the courtship.

Germans Change Names
 In Towns of AlSace

Paris, Oct 2e-A, certain number of French geographical and munici- pal names in Alsace,- tolerated by the Germans for 45 years have now been supplanted by German names Belle fosse as become Schoengrund; Fort louis is now Ludwigsfeste; Fonday is changed to Urbach. The phiIOlogi- cal and historical mission that made these changes decided to leave the names of Saint Privat and GraveIottas unchanged because of the historical interest attaching to these famous bat tlefieIds
