FABLE IN SLANG OF MARBLE
 TOP AND FRAZZLE TOP

Once there was a young man who wore loud neckties and was a bright and shining light at fudge carnivals. The girls all said be was just too cute, but fond mothers never felt easy when their daughters were alone with him in the parlor.
 The young man thought be was the rarest bird that ever scared m the social azure. Whenever he found him. self in a crowd he announced that he was not the marrying sort; that life was too sweet to be harnessed alongside a piece of calico.
 When young people of his own age grew up, paired off and planted vines and fig trees of their own, he dropped back into the next set and was as much a social lion as ever.
 Thus it was that he escorted several generations Go the brink of the matri- mOnial sea but never shipped on the craft himself. He was having too much solid pleasure Co mar it with being in line Co become interested in little rubber mouth pieces which tit on necks of crooked bottles His motto was "No Cradle Feet for Me-"
 But after he had begun to comb his hair up from the sides tO cover the clearing on top, and wear shoes tbat fit his feet, the yOuug people began to call him a Bore The young mon said he had moss on his back aud the young girls said he was cOnceited Old Thing.
 At first be did not believe he was being handed the Marble. But when it was rubbed in SO hard it smarted, he took a tumbl Co himself and realized that he cut no more ice than a last years calendar. Also, he had no home of his own aud he began Go notice that his inuards were being all shot Go pieces by their efforts Go digest restaurant cooking
 Then he began Co look around for cook who. could also sew on buttons. "Surely," he said Co himself "wheu the girls realize that ] mean business, they will capitulate'
 But when he mentioned matrimOny he got the merry ha Ina. One girl laughed in his face aud another did worse than that Co his face, but be wiped it off with his handkerchief
 Then one day frayed and frazzled old 'uu came Co town Co visit cousin. Fifteen years before, as gay young thing, she had turned down all the young men in her town She had called them pikers and big-footed yahoOs. But they had an survived and several of them were mem bers of the town council.
 Old Marble Top met the frayed and frazzled 'uu and, while be did hot fall in love with her by a long shot, he said to himself, "Here goes for a cook"
 As she had reached the age when anything that wore pants looked good to her. she tried Co look skittish, nib bled her finger nails, said something about this being SO sudden and then got a half nelson on him that caused him Go squirm.
 Then they married aud settled down Go jaugliug and looking daggers at and hating each other. She was mighty poorcoOk and did not know the differ euce between fresh ranch eggs aud

almost a miracle in the recovery of

difficulty in finding Mrs. Cheney's
home, as it was pointed out immedi-

No Genius Rionranher.

Biography has not yet had her
Shakespeare, her Dante, or even her
Goethe; her supreme and only Bos,
well remains unapproached in the re.
gion where he dwells aloof from ri.
valry through such self-sacrifice as no
other has been willing to make; but
from Plutarch down, biography has
had the advantage of every other muse
in the absolute simplicity of her duty.
After her choice of a hero, she has
no choice but truth to the facts of his
life, or any choice except between full
ness or spareness in her devotion to
them. If she is faithful to these, she
will not have failed of her duty to her
theme; and such is the charm of one
mans life to all other men, she will
not have failed of the fascination
which every muse likes to exercise
upon mortals.-W. D. Howells.
