"Miss Laborre,” said Mr. Askam, aft
er they had confidentially discussed a
number of topics, "my object in call
ing upon you this evening Is to consult
you about a step I hope soon to take in
my life. It is a step upward, and 1
regard it as the most momentous one I
ever contemplated. In short, my dear
Miss Laborre, I trust soon to be—to
be married/’ says the Kansas City

"Indeed, Mr. Askant!" Miss Laborre
said, assuming an indlfferentealr, but
blushing slightly, “and upon what do
you wish to consult me?”
"Upon several subjects, my dear Miss
Laborre,” answered Mr. ABkam, rising
from his chair and seating himself be
side her on the sofa. "First, I should
like to know whether you consider It
ik possible for two people to live com
fortably on $3,600 a year.”
"Oh, yee, Indeed, Mr. Askam,'^ Miss
Laborre replied, quickly. “If two peo
ple love each other that Is more than

“I am Indeed delighted to hear you
aay so," said Mr. ABkam fervently.
Secondly, do you think that you—that
your mother and you, after living here
together bo long, could bear to be sep
arated?”
"It wouldn’t be as though we really
were separated, living in the same city,
you know, Mr. Askant,” returned Miss
Laborre, thoughtfully. “Yes, I am sure
neither of us would mind it so very
much."
“That’s a brave young lady,” cordial
ly responded Mr. Askam, patting the
back of her Hand affectionately, as it
lay in her lap, "that's a brave girl.
And, thirdly, do you think a man of 47,
my age, Miss Laborre, too old to get
married—especially if there is little, if
any, discrepancy in the ages?”
“Oh, oh, you insulting thing!”
screamed Miss Laborre, springing to
her feet. “You know I am not 23.”
“Certainly, my dear,” responded the
astonished Mr. Askam, mildly, "cer
tainly, but your mother must be nearly
as old as I am.”
“You have been speaking of my
mother?” demanded MIbs Laborre,
tragically.
“Of course,” said Mr. Askam, looking
bewildered, “I thought it only fair, as
you are the bread winner, to consult
you first. Why, who do you think I
meant?”
HE HAD TO BE CAREFUL.
Or He Would Be Lett Out In the Cold
It He Forgot That Password.
Prom the Washington Star: “What
Is the matter?” asked one of Mr. Viv
vies’ boon companions; “you haven’t
taken the pledge, have you?”
“No. But I’m not looking on the
wine when it’s red in the cup, just the
same.”
“Refdrmed, have you?”
"Yep. You’ve heard of a woman’s
marrying a man with the idea of getting
him to stop drinking. It doesn’t always
work; but it did in my case. My wife
is a stupendously clever woman.”
“Made you promise, did she?”
■ “She didn’t have to. When I started
down town to-night she said: ‘I’ve lost
the latch-key, dear, but it won’t make
any difference. You ring the bell and
I’ll let you in.’ I said, ‘All right.’
'Only,’ she said, ‘we’d better agree on
some password, so that when you ring
I can look out of the window and make
aure it isn’t a burglar.’ 'Of course,’ said
I; ‘what’ll the password be?’ ‘I have
it,’ she answered; ‘it mustn’t be too
simple. You just say “irrepressible
reprehensibllity” and then I’ll come
down and let you in.’ Gentlemen, if I
can’t say irrepressible reprehenslbllity
when I get home I don’t get in, and,
moreover. I assume the chances of be
ing taken ' for a housebreaker. I’ve
■imply got to be careful.” And he went
over and resolutely seated himself next
ro the ice water tank.
Their But Drank.
John Davis, one of the largest cldei
makers in Indiana, Recently killed thir
teen coons under very peculiar circum
stances. Mr. Davis’ cider mill is built
of wood and stands away from his
house. He was awakened during the
night by a noise in the mill and upon
Investigation found that thirteen coons
were on the inside, drinking cider. He
fastened the door and locked them in
and went to bed. When he got up the
''next morning he took the coon dog and
several hands and began the killing.
He found the coons drunk and under
going all Btages of jags. The scene was
a most peculiar one. They had roiled
the barrels over, which had been left
open to allow the cider to work. They
had then drank themselves full of hard
cider.
Opinions on Trait*
"It is much harder to examine and
judge than to take up opinions on trust;
and therefore the far greatest part of
the world borrow from others those
which they entertain concerning all the
affairs of life and'death. Hence it pro
ceeds that men are bo unanimously
eager in the pursuit of things, which,
far from having any inherent real good,
are varnished o’er with a specious aod
deceitful gloss, and contain nothing
answerable to their appearance. Hence
it proceeds on the other hand, that, in
those things which are called evils,
there is nothing so hard and terrible as
the general cry of the world threatens.
Thus the multitude has ordained. But
the greatest part of their ordinances are
abrogated by the wise.’’—Bollngbroke.
Old Story with Variation!.
A silver watch which was dropped in
a well in Belfast, Maine, twenty-live
years ago, was recovered a day or two
ago. Unlike most watches recovered
under such circumstances, this one
wasn’t running just as if nothing had
happened to it.

Aside from these departments, the editorial
and contributed features of the Review of Reviews are themselves
equal in extent to a magazine. The Editor’s “Progress of the World” is
an invaluable chronicle of the happenings of die thirty days just past,
with pictures cn every page of the men and
women who have nude the history of the month,
Tbi Literary H'cr.'d says 1 “We are deeply
impressed from month to month with the value
of the ‘REVtpw of Reviews,’ which is a sort
of EitTel Tower for the survey of the wholq
field of periodical literature. And yet it has a mind and voice of its
own, and speaks out with decision and sense on all public topics of
the hour. It is a singular combination of the monthly magazine and
the daily newspaper. It Is daily in its freshness;
it is monthly in its method. It Is the world
under a field glass.”
