WOOING BY MAIL.

"oh, golden opportunity that means so
 much,
 They do me wrong who say come
 no more
 When once I knock and fail to find
 you in,
 For every morn I stand outside your
 door
 win"
 There can be little or no successful wooing by mail, you say, and I an- swer: Oh, yes, but there is and it is the most romantic kind of romance. 1ntroductions are made by mutual friends by letter and the pendulum is set swinging.
 A score or more of friendly letters may pass between a man and woman ere interest is awakened by the few casual words which touch the heart hidden spring. It is usually the miss ing of a letter on the day he is wont to receive it that arouses a man to the realization that there would be something missing from his happiness if those letters were to stop alto gether.
 If he has never beheId the writer, his fancy paints glowing pictures of the fair face bent over the page. He is sure she must be good to look upon. ! the tone of his letters grows more fer vent. She replies to them so nodest1y, yet with such oif1idence, he becomes more charmed with her than ever. At length, with manly directness and ear nestness. he asks her if she is ayerse to being wooed and we'd
 He puts in a good many sleep1ess nights between hope and fear, won dering if her reply will be favorable. It is. Their betrothaI by mail follows as a, matter of course.
 It is a trying ordeal for man to have his photo taken, but he goes through the experience because she has asked for it, eagerly begging for hers in return. For one reason or an- other, she delays sending it. They set the wedding day. Thereupon follows the first hitch in his wooing. His business is of such a nature he can not go to her and after much urging it is decided. that she shall come to him. His women folk will be with him to meet her at the train. The minister who is to join them in we'd lock will be waiting their arrival at the church, where his neighbors, friends and townspeople vii be gath cred to give her royal welcome. N
 She describes the costume she will wear. He designates the place he will be standing. He hears the train ap- preach with a heart in his bosom beating like 9 ttn1fd SchOolboy'S. In fancy, he anticipates a shy, frightened young gird a1ightfng and looking about her with wide, bewildered eyes, in the brown dress and white sailor hat with the wreath of daisies about it which she has so nrfnutely described. He knows he will be able to determine at a glance whet1aer she is sweet sixteen or demure two and twenty. He al- most wishes he were not yet the five and thirty years he has randidIy owned up to,
 The train stops. One figure only aLgIAs. He sees the duttering of a brown dress, whose wearer waves an umbrella vigorously in his direction. In the woman who has come on at his solicitation to marr- him he sees a. person Of fully two hundred pounds weight, red as to fare and white as to hair, a spectacIed grandma looking every 4one of her fifty years. He begs off at a heavy price.
 MoralTft is dangerous to woo and win a stranger by mail!

proud during the past few years, sang

to with much interest"
The critic wrote MANY who heard
Lambert Murphy before put him
down as tenor who would soon have
no rivals in American field. Today
1t may be seriously asked IL he has
any" Those are warm words, but new.

has made an enviable position for him.

great world series game depicted on
the board play by play.
Instead Of the rain driving away
the crowds they gathered along Main

Deveny corner increased toward the
last few innings Of the game and dur
ing the hardest showers many were
lined up in front Of the drug store
Hartley's and the Peoples National

and yet see the bulletin board.
The crowd cheered wildly when
Boston's former West Virginia play
ers were at the bat and when Gainor

single that brough home Mentally who
was running for Hoblitzel and scored
the winning run in the last of the
