Miss Louise Barnes Of New York City
was in Paris few days ago. when she
received a proposal of marriage. Did
she wait for leisurely trains and slowly
gated boats to carry her home to her
sweetheart? Not at ALI She engaged the
fastest aiIship in France and few TO
Liverpool, where she found an Ocean
Greyhound ready TO steam across the
Atlantic, and she arrived so quickly that
the bridegroom was amazed to see her
step off the liner almost before the cables
had gotten cold from delivering his June
love message. Miss Barnes evidently
studied preparedness while on the other
side.

waves roll up and wet my shoes
and spoil my green silk socks. 1t
seems to me the ocean S sound is one
great, endless knell; its waters are
the battle ground of all that in them
dwell. Like cannibals fish make
their meals of relatives that pass;
the swordfish fills itself with ellis,
the dolphin eats the bass. All fishes
are avoiding foes by every futile
means; the salted Goldfish briskly
goes, pursuing canned sardlnes. |

the breakers boom, the thrilling epic
of the sea, that tells of death and
doom. And If | bade the warfare
cease, I'd suimply wste my breath;
in vain d preach a ba lmy peace to
those whose trade is death. Until
the end of stars and suns the hungry
fish will slay, the big will chase the
little ones, and stow the same away.
The sharks would look on me with
mirth, or bid me amble hence, just
as the people do on earth, when |

always flow; alack, alas, and woe is
me, that such things should be sol

THE REAS ON.
Minna Irving.

We looked at full hundred ads
OF qlded hostelries
On cool and breezy mountain tops,
Or by the sparkling seas;
And cosey farmsteads far away
BY brown and babbling brooks,
And country inns like jewels set
In green and quiet hooks.
We wrote to ninety-nine at least
And asked the price of board,
And 10! the sum In every case
Exceeded all our hoard,
And ere we found a place within
Our modest means to come,
The autumn leaves began to fan,
And so we stayed at home.

The report that Chicago druggists
made on an average s6S0O last year on
liquor prescription business, indicates that
the windy city has not entirely adjusted
itself to the drouth. and perhaps that the
druggists have been too ready to fill
prescriptions" Figures show that the
half pint packages for which druggists
paid 90 cents each were sold at 50 apiece.
As the stores bought only 400 gallons
year out of which to make their S6,sOo,
it is readily estimated that thirsty Chi
cagoans bought great deal of water
that they might have taken free from
Lake Michigan at their front door. The
net earning is not so large, after all, for
very many Of the drug stores make more
than $4,000 to $4,000 a year on iced

To the everlasting credit Of Amer
